I don't know why people bring in F-7pg in comparison to 4 or 4.5 gen aircraft. It's not meant to compete such catogory. It's role is to intercept large numbers of Mig-21,23,27 and jaguar type aircraft invading our air space. In war first pawns are sent to spread out and test the battle field...

Firstly KLG-7 type radars were not built in 90's, we replaced the British version sky bolt in few years of its use because sky bolt was the only option available in that size that could fit into F-7 aircraft, it also had clutter problem but range was the main problem, grifo according to PAF...

The chinese radars for F-7 and pg models used to catch more ground clutter than the data required by the pilot, the grifo presented the most ranging radar with minimum ground clutter. More often they offered tot with assembling plant paving the way for a new radar factory. They also provided...

J-10b/c models in PAF would act like a data link for new upcoming technologies from china, an Aesa radar all sort of standoff weapons and new Air to air weapons can find their way into PAF. Around 100 plus companies work on new weapons testing based on j series aircraft where most testing a r on...

Plz also note for any ordnance they carry, might be with LGB's and Aselon targeting pods, mastering the new gadgets.

In both cases lost or found some statement should have come out of PAF. The family of pilot must have spoken something . If Indian media had claimed of pilot eject, I think he must have been rescued , but Paf is just hiding info about the cause of crash and that is normal situation.

Why it has become a mystery on this forum only, if there had a search operation still going on, then it would have become a prime story on our media. I don't think pilot is still missing, why would Air Force not made any comment on that .

F-7pg with cluster bombs and Aim 9 p missiles, note the fuel tank tip it's a front recording camera, most probably an infra red camera

At the moment PAF looks confused, doesn't want to go for Fc20, but have no sufficient funds for a western bird. Even if we could buy Eft there are no certain gaurantees that we would not be denied of spares and service in time of conflict. The favourite F16 doesn't fit upto the mark of having a...

Still to some extent PAF lacks a dedicated ground attack fighter as jaguar. Mirages are old and not like jaguars for ground role, they lack precision strike capability which is crucial in modern warfare. Jf17 still under going upgrading after they get Aselon pods and lots of testing and...

Actually my fault.A Squadron consists of 18 air crafts so two sqdns 36 and above first 36 upto 54 birds will form 3rd sqdn.

How come the serial number 13-144 become a part of new replacement for no 2 sqdrn. It should be having new jft having Blk 2 serials . It seems few planes picked from old inventory for just show case of equipping no 2

Ground testing has already been done as declared by Air chief in last may, he also mentioned in his interview that by the 29th aircraft there will be 5-6 aircraft's for air testing. That's what we are looking at, then like Mirages a pilot project of re fitting the IFR to 30-40 planes and then...

PAF has already announced a 2-3 different platform mix of Air fighters. That only fits JF-17, F-16 and third most probably FC-31 when ever ready for export may be by 2020. By that time PAF would only keep inducting new JF-17's and as many as possible used F-16 with at least 2500-3000 hours of...

Unless prototype 2 of FC-31 flies and succeeds thier is no true picture But it was announced by chinese that all experience earned from J-20 will be utilized on FC-31 to make it more successful for export. To date up till 15-20 prototypes have been built of J-20 once the final approach is made...

EJ2000 is not for PAF use, its onlly an option available for an export version to Saudia or Qater etc, who does not want Russian engine. Where as M88 will only be used on double seater JF-17s for PAF OR EXPORT as well, Compromising on thrust for a shorter size engine to fit in dual seater...

It doesn't seems PAF has a back up war plan to me ,as an unreliable freind USA is not willing to give another 8 planes ,as they might be used against India How PAF planners are working or assuming that USA will not block spare parts if there ever a war broke out with India. Even if the PAF...

J-10C with second generation AESA Radar and more modren ECCM is the only readily available stop gap measure available to PAF. All by means of sufficient spares and service and price wise. PAF should put more efforts on J-10C upgrading with China to fill gap for F-16 type aircrafts

Can any body tell what are the serial numbers of planes in yellow. Only then it can be a positive note for where the production stands and what are the induction procedure. If the numbers on yellow planes is less than the 216 then it means these birds are still to be tested and retrofitted with...

Most interesting news is about the WS-13 or to be named WS-17 for JF-17 will have 1000 hrs of engine life with 9300 kg of thrust that means 9300 x 2.25 = 20925 LBs of thrust as against current 19575 LBS. The Paris airshow PAF reveled more sharp maneuvers with RD-93 now in Blk-3 must be more...
