I didn't want to rub it in but I think it is safe to assume our interior minister is not trying to arrest a person already under arrest! https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/618427-efforts-being-made-to-arrest-ehsanullah-ehsan-ijaz-shah

Next time when you are losing the narrative, your educated self should be able to disprove something by providing evidence to support your narrative rather than ask 'uneducated' parties to present evidence! I hope not for your sake but for Pakistan's sake that the news turns out false, but...

Don't think your self hyped educated self is worth proving something to. Your education screams out loud in the first word that you used to address me so sit down. If anyone with a little education had replied to me, they would have probably thought of a little science called speech analysis...

Last I heard they wanted a 'Super Sukhoi' upgrade where they wanted a more powerful Engine as part of the upgrade package. Of course cutting teeth of the jet also need to be upgraded. I personally believe after 1999 where IAF had a free run because of PAF's lack of BVR, and 2002 induction of...

Natsecjeff and a few others like d-atis etc often post anti-Pakistan news, that I know from my twitter days but being cautious, curious and circumspect is not a bad thing per se! ** Confession: I honestly haven't followed the facts behind this news but I don't like how everyone is up in arms...

Granted we do not need to behave like Indian public that believed an F16 was magically shot down (truth be told, Indians silently know it wasn't but have to keep a facade) in believing this guy escaped, we also do not need to be blind to our internal perils about security and mismanagement. Let...

Now that the person who I had a conversation with has been proven right, I figured I'd barge in again with my 3.75 cents. I notice some cliché posters/posts daily on this thread. 1- The over zealous mujahid: JF17 is an invincible super machine at par with the best world has to offer and will...

We can consider so many factors. 1- "Bhaagtay chor ki langoti he sahi"... As US, if India is going to give away a contract worth 20 billion dollars, possibly the single largest F16 contract through the rest of its production life, why not lock them in strict terms of agreement and sell F16 tech...

That is to be expected. Very realistic. A source also told me changes in Block 3 structure are supposed to not only save weight but also strengthen the structure further. I will not delve into details as I do not want to quote something wrong as I am not an aeronautical engineer and this...

Theoretically yes, but nothing major is done to an existing plane as reduced weight means a change in center of gravity and that may entirely change the flight behavior of a plane. F16 MLU contains major updates but manufacturers are cognizant of this fact and balance out all changes to ensure...

Indeed Wishes wishes :) It seems like the umpteenth post I have seen with similar images/wishes. I hope they come true. For now, these are the most realistic changes. 1- FBW upgrade 2- Radar change to AESA 3- Upgraded music player in the cockpit. 1 alone or in conjunction with more...

This may not matter in the long scheme of things. However, coming to the point ... I had a conversation with an officer who has in the past worked on JF17 project. I came out with the impression that a test flight did take place around the same time the news came out. I did not explicitly ask...

What makes you think anyone is being influenced by media bias here. There are strategic considerations at work. This does not rule out any deal but it is naive to simply brush everything based on your blanket assertion that goes against beliefs of tens of nations currently trading with China. As...

Is there any information to substantiate what appears to be a wish at this point in time. We lack the industrial infrastructure to influence any significant customization through indigenous R&D. We can however still hope for some Engine related change as China is desperate to build reliable...

I never specified that it was the Chinese military hardware that Malaysia doesn't like. Due to the recent state of China-Malaysia fiscal and trade relationship that is so skewed in favor of China, Malaysia has landed in huge Chinese debt and they have even considered cancelling huge trade (not...

This image appeared in a tweet earlier today listing potential candidates for Malaysia's LCA competition. Here is my layman assessment. 1- Gripen is the most capable but expensive. 2- Tejas hasn't yet had enough operational experience. We have to consider these contracts take years in the...

Can you cite the source on this. We have had these rumors floating for ages now, its best to only report confirmed news or at least information coming out of credible sources!

The dimensions seem to have changed slightly from the Wikipedia sourced Block 50/52 dimensions. Wingspan 31 ft vs 32 ft 8 inches Height 16.7 ft vs 16 ft Length 49 ft 3 inches vs 49 ft 5 inches. Empty weight has increased. I have a question. With passing time, newer composites and manufacturing...

The guy is making a boastful claim and seems semi-technical with tidbits of plausible info and not a 100% accurate technical data. 1- 500+ knots isn't close to 2000kmph. I'd have used a higher knot figure if i wanted to say something was flying close to 2000kph 2- The guy is possibly hinting at...
