Saab is going to get a lot new sales inquiries about ERIEYE. Also most likely other operators of ERIEYE asset are going to approach PAF about the invaluable operating experience.
Cannot find any Chinese source that Jin has made such comments regarding the recent engagement. Not sure where Hindustan Times got the information from.
From what I’ve read in some reputable China defense blogs, the general impression on Su35’s radar (which should reflect a little bit of official thinking) is that the performance is still highly respectable for a PESA but its electronics are slightly behind the curve, reflecting the state of...
I’d agree that COMAC is still decades away from reaching parity with Boeing and Airbus as Boeing has been trading for almost 100 years and Airbus for 50 years or so. It is a long journey and as long as we work on the fundamentals steadily we will catch up. 10 to 15 years ago, no one would have...
Excellent news! I hope to see more coal power plants being built in Pakistan and completely solve the power issue that has been limiting Pakistani industry development and living standard.
Given the amount of coal reserves in Pakistan, the percentage of coal generation should be on par of that...
Japan is one of the most technologically advanced country in the world and what they have put together was this. In no mean I am mocking their work but to show how difficult it is to make a 5th gen plane. Nevertheless after years of work Japanese have managed to put together a working prototype...

My poor translation:
The WZ9 engines that was in early batch have got some restrictions to the power rating. The restrictions have been progressively removed with the accumulation of operational experience. Together with other minor improvements, the power rating of the latest batch of WZ9 has...
The latest block of PL12 (PL12D) will be in the similar category (improved maneuverability with ramjet engines).
There are PL15 and PL21 but they are in the heavy category.
Rafael is a good plane but a single asset is not going to be the key in the near future. The future warfare will be fought more and more on network Centric, situation awareness, data link, etc. this is the area where PAF has made significant investment in its AWACS fleet, radar stations and...
I understand that. You are standing on your own feet with formidable gears and competent servicemen.
China’s interest is aligned with Pakistan’s and China looks after our interest holistically. If we look at the situation now, China is playing like a neutral and stabilizer (at least be...
When we judge someone’s behavior, don’t judge by what he is saying but what he’s doing. One may get a bit frustrated with Chinese behavior of lack of emotion or expression but getting things sorted. This is just how we Chinese do things, which may be a bit different. :cool:
China isn’t silent...
Congratulations to Bangladesh for another mega project. The tunnel will serve the Dhaka-Chittagong-Cox’s Bazar highway network and connect the new industry parks on the southern bank with the rest of the country more freely.
