Z10ME is on card for PAA , lets see when thay make it public.
But PAA has open credit line of 1.5 billion from turkey for T129, which can be converted to T929 (as T129 case is almost dead)
PAA will try to keep milti country vendors for helicopters
Thanks for sharing in such a detail. In short PA can go for any of it in future by considering multiple factors you shared, but main factor will be cost as well
Yes sir, thatway i asked as Chinese ToT in unlikely the case specifically in case of VT-4,
For PA future i think if Ukrainian engine can satisfied AK2 need and available with full ToT, is best case for time.
Once Chinese developed better engine then then this Vt4 engine then they might consider...
Current JF17 Bravo will be used for Lift purposes in future or we can see some downgraded version for domestic Lift role and for potential Lift export customer, to reduce cost (like Brave trainer version)
Do you think china will give its engine ToT Pakistan ?
With Ukraine its possible if we pay them well ... but question how we are going to pay for ToT with empty pockets
Yes sir in 5th gen everyone focus on stealth not on improving major capabilities, now they have released so 6th gen program will be focus on improving capabilities and adding artifical intelligence, single airfrom based on components that can quickly changed as per role, advanced laser based...
If true then good news. But i have dought as
if we observe there paint schemes do not match Pakistan army new paint schemes which is multi color camouflage with aggressive colors
American have 2 active 6th gen aircraft programs as per public info, one on airforce specification other based on navy's specification.
Some Rumors are there that they already have testing prototype. So on papers they are much ahead of tempest.
There original airframe was 4000 hrs after MLU it become 8000 hrs in total,( not 4000 +8000) if we goes for V update in future then there airframe life will be 12000 hrs in total
Yes if not upgraded to V upgrade then this can be possible role post 2030 for non block 52 F16s
