I think due to Peshawar incident the function for the JF-17 has been delayed this month .25th December was expectedly the date for such occasion but delayed
It was announced by Khalid Mehmood that we were having 5 birds this month and deliveries later on to continue. That included 2 locally...
News confirm Air force discussing with Chinese for the acquisition of FC-31 stealth fighter. Around 30-40 birds. I think minimum order will be 36 aircrafts to raise two squadrons . If 40 then 4 aircrafts will be OCS sqdrn but i think no twin seater is built for training. First simulation...
If USA can use drones to attack Taliban insid Pakistan. Then why not striking without any prior information. Molvi Fazal ullah is the main culprit behind school Firing. PAF should locate his locaton with its phalco or any other type of drone and strike immediately at night . No need to ask any...
Few fuel tanks are designed for low RCS , other weapons are not configured or designed for low RCS. Its gonna be a whole new field of stealth design of weapons. Unless all Air forces are equipped with stealth fighters this trend is difficult to introduce
There will be no Mig-35 as its the last product of Mikoyan Family. Even India Iraq and other countries using Migs dropped it. Su-37 is not an easy cake to swallow as its cost per unit is around $90-100 million per piece plus fly away cost not affordable for our little Air force which always...
J-10B is design to deal with J-15 or F-15 caliber aircraft . J-15/16 wont be available for export for many years as chinese are putting their local WS-10 engines which have limited engine life and reletively very slow production rate. J-10 B or FC-20 with AL-31F engines giving 31000 pounds of...
PAF was about to make final decision for FC-20 when Osama incident happened. It was requested to china on emergency basis . A $2.5 billion price tag was also decided for 58 jet fighters along with service and maintenance depots etc. But again PAF got double minded.
Kiyani shb was eager with...
We need an equivalent to F-16's to counter the massive fleet of IAF. 10-12% air crafts are always in repair and maintenance.
Can made like this, adding con formal fuel tanks will give look like a F-16 blk 52
I dont know how old are these pictures, but i am 100% sure they are not photo shop. Clarity of weapons attached can be seen. All JF-17 weapon pictures are mostly PS. The arr ester hook is visible, It could also be a land platform made to the size of deck practice, which is not visible. The...
No photo shop pictures are real. Carrier landing trials with trials are with full weapon load
It has outer hard points as well. Only waiting for surplus WS-10 engines for actual capability trials . WS-10 production is booked only for J-15/16 aircrafts
On Lower Deck Hanger of Chinese Aircraft...
DSI has main function of supplying uniform Air to engines and also reduce RCS. Its the Aero-Dynamics and engine potential which takes you to higher speeds. JF-17 has an under performing engine for its weight to thrust ratio comparison.
A good soft loan by Russia could be the main factor, Russia is also known for good barter trades, in this case could be oil barter underhand.
We have already ruined our marketing strategy at the start by declaring real price of $15 million in every air show and world markets, now asking cost...
If you read FC-31 development speed it will not mature before 2025. The fact that its engines RD-93 being used are for safety measures, as a proven safe engine is used for flight testing,
A new Radar AESA is not installed as some western observers have observed. USA considers it a F-18 rival...
I haven't heard of any Russian AESA radar. Even if there are some they won/t scale it down for JF-17 , as its a direct competitor for Mig-29.
As far as RD-93 is concerned its modified model will be offered as RD-33/93 engines are their cash cow items. They have sold them to many countries such...
According to Kaiser Tufail Blk 3 are not even under discussion as alot of R&D has to be done for its design for making it stealth. In presence of FC-31 i dont think blk 3 wll ever be produced by us. Its same like inventing wheel again intead of improving whats available from china. I am sure...
Mig-35 and Su-35 are not suited to our Air force as Mig-35 is an upgraded last version of Mikoyan Family. PAF wont go for it as future developments would be only on request or specialized for any customer and not by further R&D by company. In competetion for the Egyptian Air force sale JF-17...
