Nobody really said the power wasn’t enough, I’ve said before that the 1200HP setup in Vt-4 is more than enough because of the good torque output of the engine. That being said, it’s also been said before that the Ukraine situation just simply cannot apply to the Pakistan-india theatre. The...

To be more specific, I remember an officer had once come up with a report in the PA regarding initiative given to NCOs and younger officers and noticed a downward trend in how many individual tasks and initiatives were being given to this part of the forces and how this was effecting their...

The Indian army has been downsizing, slowly, but it is. While the PA is never going to face the entirety of the IA, regardless of the size of the two forces, when it comes to mass mobilization, Pakistan will always fall behind. So I understand why PA needs to be rather large. My point is that...

I’m just mildly tired of some people having rock hard egos just because of a blue or red tint on their names. Not the first time I’ve seen it around the forum and I’m not afraid to call it out. It’s almost as if people feel threatened when someone else is correct about something. But I digress...

Currently A Norinco Tokarev TT and an original Walther P38 both in 9x19 and a Lee-Enfield. Also have a MKIV revolver but it wasn’t cared for so it’s not in shooting condition anymore. Used to have a Type 56-II with an aim point and a laser as well much like the usual PA config, but don’t have...

Do PAs VT-4s have 1500 HP currently? No. Does PA plan to use them that way anytime soon? No. When I asked HIT if it was economically and reliably feasible to run the VT4s engine at 1500 HP with the current setup, y’know what they said? No. PA has no need to ruin perfectly good engines by...

It’s well proven that F-16s, FA-18s (that A means attack btw, just as in A-10) and the F35C (which FYI is specifically designed for this stuff) are much more potent at CAS than A-10s. The A-10s performance is mostly a hyped up myth which has been disproven many times, especially after the...

and neither of them are as good at CAS As F16s, F18s, JF17s, or literally any other fighter jet. Theyre both overrated and rather bad at their job.

I mean College of E&ME is a branch of NUST.

It is a branch of NUST after all.

It is a reference to Swift retort, lest we forget that it were indeed JF-17 Block 2s that escorted the Strike package and were also part of the strike package itself. There are no direct confrontations in A2A combat anymore, there are a dozen factors involved on both sides. If anything even the...

Actually, they’re the Type 69-IIs from the Quetta school of infantry and tactics, they have a few tanks for training purposes, and they’re not upgraded at all, apart from maybe the cages. They’re the only few remaining stock Type 69s left in the PA, you can tell by their 100MM guns, all others...

I mean no offense, but You haven’t seen or heard of it because you’re not supposed to. “How I found out is not important” to me means that maybe you have not found out at all (about recent developments that is, things during and before Kargil are rather public now, as I’m sure todays...

Not logical at all unless india can produce Rafale locally and in the process threaten their local fighters, india missed an opportunity to place follow up orders for the Rafale when it ordered its first batch, if they order more now they’ll have to wait until after 2030 to get them because of...

MK1A hasn’t even flown yet and you’re worrying about MK2. And MKi couldn’t even hold its own against JF-17 block 2s and in your words “ancient, 50 year old” F-16s. Stop spouting rubbish.

Looks like HIT was aware of the power shortcomings, the armored Hiluxs have 220 HP and an upgraded braking system. That’s more HP than you can get in any standard Hilux in Pakistan. The V and Rocco only have 200HP. That makes it a much, much more viable option, good to see.

I’ve often argued that the PA is too big for its own good and it needs to downsize, but I’m in the minority regarding that opinion, I know how the situation is, it’s far worst across the border. No military is ever 100% ready to mobilize at any time, they bank on the fact that when and if a...

It’s more of the “duh, of course they do that” kind of question that annoys people, I honestly don’t understand why. What I mean to say is, when people come here and ask questions that seem like they have obvious answers, people assume it’s suspicious (which again, I don’t get why, you’re right...

Using dedicated fighter jets for CAS in the Pakistan-india theatre provides a rather unique set of both use cases and threats due to the SAM and fighter rich environment we’d have over a rather small geographical area. The Pakistan-india theatre is so unique, that there is really no other...

My problem is not your demand, even if the example of Ukraine is flawed, my problem is that it adds absolutely nothing of value to this thread or the discussion that was being conducted here. You just write a two-liner to ask for an unrealistic demand and that’s it? Even though said demand and...
