I think Jf-17b is playing a bridge roll betwen Blk 1,2 and 3. As most of its new features explained will be in Blk 3, so the pilots can be trained for blk3 more, where as radar is kept same as Blk 2 as majority fighters are Blk 2 now. Blk 3 will have Aesa radar it's training can be done on...

India would be only assembling Ckd kits and manufacturing mostly airframe parts as there are no such big industrial units which will make engine or radars completely. If the deal materialised among then. My personal feeling is that Us is playing same game with India as the dassault aviation...

These are simple rocket pods. Guns are fixed on both J-10 and Jf-17 same style.

Can u tell shot with what a missile or a gun fire. The Debri doesn't seem to hit by a missile. I thing it was just a small gun burst that brought it down.

These loads I am talking about, they r shown on the web links above my post.

Why we don't see such bomb loads on our Mirages. Can't they carry such loads now due to old age.

Apart from avionics upgrade I would also prefer to have weight to thrust ratio of 1:1+. For that a power engine with 100kn of thrust or 22500 pounds of thrust would be required. Using composite materials in main fuselage and other parts of heavy weight would help to acquire such ratio. Using...

India is playing a gamble of huge investment, as it is privatising it's defence industry on a sudden note. Even in India people are debating on it, how come a non defence equipment making industry sets up a world class aircraft manufacturing and assembling company like Lockheed Martin. Do they...

I am just curious if engine life cycle time. If it's 800 hrs how you distribute or manage in 7-8 years. Even if 200 hrs are logged in a year or less, even them max 4 years comes out to be the max usage time. Plz explain

A slight difference between J-10 and FTC-2000 is the location of attachment is just beneath the intake the proper way like in western fighters, where as in FTC case it seems to be a make shift arrangement. But if it works properly then no harm in it. This type of hard point usually are able to...

Apart from these Myanmar thunders. Can any body explain me if a engine service life before first over haul is 8-900 hrs how it comes in around 7-8 years. If the aircrafts fly 3-4 hrs daily in two flights minimum then around 120 hrs itflies in a month and in a year it comes out 1400-1450 hrs then...

Does PAF operates one pilot one aircraft. No sir PAF has cockpit to pilot ratio of 1:3. 200 hrs means less than half hr daily for one pilot. Needs more clarification

Could these j/31 would be able to compete with rafael fighters which India is going to induct? My answer is no. Buts comments are requested

If we just Look at IAF acquisition plans it's stunning. Why they aren't going for stealth, because it looks more better on paper than in air. Technology of stealth aircrafts is still maturing and will take a decade to come upto the expectations. France is delivering them just 36 birds in 3...

China has inducted approx 300 J-10s. When was F-7p was tested. Nowadays fighters can be easily judged by its capabilities and performance

J-10 will bring much needed punch and power against 272 vs 76 F-16s. Not buying it means refusing F-16 option in different shape. Scrap just 36-40 F-7 and Mirages and bring it in, Paf will feel the difference.

What this Pak bholari, I don't understand. Is it a domestic targeting pod or a surveillance device. Plz explain

Ca can any one do some serious digging for this rumour or news that Pakistan has placed an order for J10, we are dieing to have this jet for 5-7 years. Our Air Force placed an order for 3 Swedish AWACS in full secrecy and now revealed after a year just before delivery that they r arriving. This...

It's internal weapon Bay Area has been increased for Sd-15 type missiles, almost 1/2 area is weapons bay, Chinese are designing new American type cased bomb for both J type stealth. The engine casing might be just to cover the unstealth area followed by the internal weapons bay. It also might be...
