This Painting explains 2 events. 1 that F16 fired that missile. And 2nd the Su30 is seen in a different color scenerio being hit by that missile in the belly. Same painting is in 2 scenerios.
Cft is a very rare or new thing to Paf. We also had it on F6 fighters fews years before retirement. It was used effectively. I've seen few pics of it on F6. What actually is conformal fuel tank. Its just a aerodynamically redesigned fuel tank for less drag and fix configuration on a fighter...
My objective was not to humiliate any body. I thought it was Naumaan Akrams jasdey khaki. Still if he is not him, he's our shaheed and I have all respect for him.
Naumaan Akram had ejected as shown in the video his jasdey khaki lying intact with strangled parachute. This parachute did not fully open to save him from impact. This parachute problem has occurred previously as well, when Jf17 crashed.
We shouldn't be going for F18s or F15s in any way, as it would be a trap for Paf for keep begging for parts and services for next 2 decades. Already maintaing F16s is quite enough for Paf. I don't thing project azm will mature In next 10 years, at the end a part of it will only come out as...
Paf does not want big Airframe changes, as it means the assembly plant jigs and designs have to go through again, requiring millions of Rs for fancy touches. The Lockheed only changed the internal manufacturing techniques to Honey com design for a stronger Airframe and extended its life to 12000...
One thing every body is missing is the control stick was planned to be a side stick like on F16s. Due to all electronic digital electric control of 3 Axis a side stick was possible. Although not seen yet but it was definitely planned in block 3
One review on YouTube sujjests that no prominent or little change is done in Block 3 Airframe. Which is Tail section similar to B model to accommodate the new fly by wire system 2 Axis. And an Electro optical system which is not visible in this picture
Paf is always ready so as Army. But the camera man was not ready for any such action to be displayed properly. Only real proper coverage we ever saw of fire power demo by Paf was of 1989. Take off from base to the range was covered in it. To hell with the camera man. Did not enjoy at all.
The Mirage engines have also a life time which is quite over in French books. All we are doing is a third overhaul at our own risk giving it a more 600 to 700 hrs life. And that's being also used to some extent. Secondly it's a turbo jet engine with non electric full control system called fadec...
We are already having around 126 Rd93 on jf17s and Rd-93ma on blk 3. So facility of maintenance is there and setting overhaul unit already in pipeline. Mig 35 tailored according to Paf needs will be a potent asset and a good replacement for Mirages. But I don't think Klj7a would be installed on...
Mig 35 is actually on cards of Paf. Advantages attached are same engine maintenance facilities as of Jf17. It's been marketed aggressively by Russians, one e.g is sale agreement with Egypt. Full testing completed in 2017-18. Now serial production under way. Russians offering Aesa radar, infrared...
Some rumours are being confirmed now that we shot 1 Mig 21, 1 Su 30 and a Hawk as well. The Mi 17 was there own missile kill. The unknown wing commander did the hunt on his F16s. I don't know why it's being kept hidden, may be American pressure as USA wants to sell F21 project as for F16s.
