Reality is that even if they lost 100 TB-2, it has so many kills attributed to it, it would not matter. Before the western nations really started pouring large scale weapons into Ukraine, it was the TB-2 which literally held the Ukrainian lines FOR MONTHS. It was so wildly successful that the...

Lol what kind of joke is a question about buying J-10 with $450M dollars? You can buy 11...they are $40M/plane for China which means probably around $45-50M. So you are willing to scrap 75 4th Gen fighters to thumb your nose at the US while you have 170 3rd gen fighters to replace already? You...

Not sure what the hullabaloo is about this sale. From what i can tell, this purchase is basically to provide maintenance and general upkeep for the PAF F-16. PAF still needs to replace ~60 Mirage III, ~69 Mirage V, and 53 F-7PG. SO unless people who getting their panties in a bunch also want to...

Thanks but what about H2/H4. Why are they not equipping JF-17?

The question i dont think should be about nullifying air superiority as much as it should be about providing adequate deterence. With the positive economic developments you have had, i dont think a full scale buildup is a good idea as it could derail your progress. BUT spending money smartly and...

From what incan gather based on limited searches, its not so much that your airforce doesnt have money, but you spent it on things that dont aid significantly to national defense. To be honest, while i am no fab of Hasina, the fact that there has been stability at the top in true civilian rule...

Was it a compatibility issue or (like Raad) a structural issue? With respect to RAAD, are there any images corroborating the fact that JF-17 is flying with it? Plus, with induction of J-10, EVEN if the Raad/jf-17 marriage remains elusive from a structural issue, the J-10 could take over the Raad...

This is the excuse for people who don't want to take ownership of the fate of the country. I won't pay my share because the leader is a crook. Well, the leader may be a crook because people dont pay their taxes, leading to bad infrastructure, poor healthcare, poor education, and poverty...

Fully support the move, as well as any move to get additional used C-130s with reasonable life left in them to augment the fleet. Anyone saying, obsolete just sounds like they have zero idea what they are talking about. Look at the specs of the aircraft, price of the used vs new aircraft, role...

Frankly, more than making a platform, i think Pakistan needs to think mutli dimensionally. Making somethink as complex as a helicopter, plane (jet or prop) or even trucks/cars requires multiple different components. Currently Pakistan would have difficulty designing and then mass producing a car...

These are heavier and better equipped than F-22P...never understood why they insist on referring to it as a corvette in PN.

Im quite aware of the shortcomings of gun based PDWS, the reality is that something is better than nothing. So unless there is a pdms available for the Yarmooks, this is a moot point. The Phalanx being superior to the AK630 is also not the point. The point is the location of the PHALANX on the...

Yes i am aware of what you say. But look at the location and design of the ship. With the double stack. It limits the firing arc of a CIWS. Furthermore the location allows only the rear half of the starboard sode to be covered and part of the stern. The entire port side is unprotected. Even the...

The CIWS are actually im an ideal placement. It gives ~270 degrees firing arc for each Tpye 1130 (one per side). which is far better than the dumb location of a single Phalanx on the Yarmooks. Yarmooks have a single phalanx on therear starboard side of the ship, right behind a smokestack...

Well, not sure how much help Turkey will get from Ukraine, but Ukraine has its own unique relationship with Turkey. Turkey is one of the largest arms suppliers, providing it with likely the single most effective resistance tool used by Ukraine against Russia (TB2 Baraktyar drone)

I haven't found any source corroborating this, but if its true, then as @Bilal Khan (Quwa) stated,its likely for the damen.

I believe they Baburs will have GIDS Ribat ECM

Yeah, an update with two 24 cell launchers (akin to how the German ships are utilizing RAM- 1 in front, 1 in rear over the hangar) would be the cheaper route... More likely 1 launcher like the Type 054s.

Can you clarify what modifications were done? I am wondering who is doing logistics for Pak Military if they go for IRIS-T SLM. It just makes zero sense to me when the nation operates HQ-16 (Land and Sea) and will be operating CAMM-ER why they would add a 3rd variant to the mix? Especially...

Im not sure that is true. The standard Baburs are ~2900t whereas Adas are 2400. That 500t expansion allowed for 16 cell VLS. If the J-class is going to be forming the future backbone of the PN is needs to be substantially bigger, closer to the Tughril class in size. Between 3500 to 4000t. This...
