This has more to do With his upcoming visit to USA and the strategy for Baluchistan/Iran. This is a more professional visit with agreeing a line which the COAS will take in his talks at the Pentagon. A

Can you explain to me why you need 32 VLS launchers. What capacity does the IN/IAF have for ASMs and how many do you see coming towards the PN ship in one go. Similarly under what scenarios do you see a saturation attack on a PNS ship and how many planes do you see doing that. You want things...

Sometimes cryptic makes so much sense. Subhanallah. A

Agreed. Additionally fighters on delivery flights do not carry arms. Flight routes will be planned in advance and notifications issued. Normally previously F7s have been delivered by ship but now , it remains to be-seen. A Production projections are for 12 aircrafts per year so expect the count...

I dont think this is damage control. These visits are part of regular interaction between the 2 armies and arranged well in advance. Even if US has played dirty with us, we will play it down rather than act hurt. You are right in that Pakistan is at a difficult cross road where connectivity of...

Practical demonstration. A

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. There is no harm and many benefits in maintaining cordial relationship from our side. You dont take a punga unnecessarily with a Super power. A

The world is rapidly evolving in joint ventures. Whereas I accept there maybe some intricacies in procuring an engine for 5th gen fighter, a joint collaboration is still possible. If it happened with F35 it can happen with other fighters This shares research and production costs and give economy...

Bhai saheb. With all due respects it is easy to sit in Canada in the cool comfort of your room and pontificate about raining hell on Iran. Your enemies want you to do just that so they can laugh till they drop and point how stupid the Pakistanis are. You have anywhere between 15-20% shia...

There is no confirmation from any open source literature/news outlet about this purchase. We do not rely on tweets and this whole thread is based on tweet from an unknown source. We have to wait till we get more concrete information

Thank you for a detailed response. I guess we will ha e to wait-and see where the Turks are in 6-8 years. Regards A

I think raising a new squadron is not going to be far behind unless they hand over to a new squadron directly.

Yesterday at 11:42 AM Add bookmark #122 Hi TP. I respond to this statement which I consider quite unlike the tphuang that I knew. It is condescending. While I have no affiliation with the Turkish industry or the Chinese one for that matter, my contention is that if the Turks have been...

Is this a squadron being stood up? I think they should now have enough to stand up a squadron. A

I rhink the advantage the Turks have is they are already building engines for GE and have had some exposure to single crystal building of turbine blades. I was not born yesterday and have some grasp of the problems that the Chinese faced and are still facing. The Turks for their Helicopter...

Agreed but there is a 9 billion glaring hole in our budget which could be a very compelling reason for him to change his mind. I dont know what will happen. A

Someone who has done a stint in the Saudi tells me the Saudi forces are not issued ammo when they are looking after the King and princes. Only Pakistani forces bear ammo. You can train all you like but it is the will that the-Saudis lack. When they were bombing Yemen I was thinking to myself "...

Iranian unrest is on the rise irrespective. I will however agree that to be atruly defensive force is going to be difficult. Pakistan at this point needs-support financially so we are vulnerable. It would be against IK stated policy of not fighting anyone else's war. So let us observe what the...

I dont think the 16s require high altitude performance. With J10s multirole useage of F16s can be secured as they are currently our top platform for the hi aspect of CAP. THE 16would be ideal f9r SEAD -DEAD once freed up. A

It will possibly require an update with full rewiring and then testing which could take a year or so. Upgrading platforms could then start and will take years. The life of the platforms requires quick fixes till they can be-retired. A
