    One Man's War on Terror in Pakistan's Badland

Went to some African Country I think. https://www.dawn.com/news/1367382 Very interesting "On another, notorious Baluch warlord Akbar Bugti planned a concerted effort to down Leedham’s...

    New Zealand Center for Defense: Iran likely to purchase JF-17 after arms embargo lifted

    Selling to Iran could handicap companies working on JF-17 as access to western tech would not be made easily available and could risk compromising the future of the project as companies working on it could be blacklisted by US which might even harm work on project Azm. Iran would buy Russian...

    Rumors: Pakistan to acquire five C-130J Super Hercules

    The new Erieye photographed on transit was a surprise too. There was no news about it as well. So with regards to Pakistan no news does not mean something isn't cooking up. But till we actually get the hardware, should be considered just rumor. Nothing to get worked up about.

    Ukraine to Upgrade Pakistan Air Force Il 78 Tanker Plane

    The power plant is same as the one used on Airbus A320 so some support offset is there for C-390. A330 MRTT costs $300m and a new C-130J costs $100-167m so has a strong case.

    Pakistan Armys man portable single round launcher

    Accuracy should be greater than regular artillery. At LOC they can be used against visible bunkers, instead of spending ATGMs and you can fire them concealed whereas easier to transport to front than artillery. Its a harassment weapon.

    Pakistan Armys man portable single round launcher

    Yes something like that, till now only Iran and Turkey were known to make the clones of these Chinese pieces. Portable 107mm rocket launchers. Not too accurate or expensive but can wreck havoc and can be fired from a concealed location. Perfect for LOC forward positions and not as expensive as...

    Pak Army shots down an Indian spying Quadcopter

    Or install couple of these along the border. Could be made alot cheaper and Chinese sources selling as well. The remotes on drones are max 200m and after that they rely on GPS plotting of waypoints. These block GPS as well so if you install one near a high value building or ammo dumps, GPS...

    Ukraine to Upgrade Pakistan Air Force Il 78 Tanker Plane

    PAF uses the IL78s for cargo airlifting more than refueling. As such the Airbus A330 MRTT although the best tanker option won't give the same type of cargo loading capability which is the role these aircraft are primarily doing. Since so much being spent on overhauls for these aircraft I doubt...

    China’s J-20 fighter can get ‘beastly’ if it has to

    Stealth is a illusion, in reality its just about reducing the RCS as much as possible, so the opposing radar range is handicapped for eg detection at 10km instead of 150km range. Weapons or fuel tanks will have their own RCS which will add on to the aircraft RCS. Now if its a stealth aircraft...

    Pakistan-A real market for the Mirage 2000-9 ?

    I love the Mirage and it's delta silhouette and it excels in strike. However in case of PAF its either get Mirage 2000 or more F-16s and the F-16 will always win that debate hands down. Sadly for India they missed out on acquiring the production line when it was being phased out in France, had...

    SAAB-2000 Erieye delivery flight to PAF at ATHENS - 27/05/2020

    Pakistan is paying high emphasis on network centric warfare capability with data linked ground sea and air assets. Emphasis on more AWACs is part of that doctrine. Force multipliers add quite a punch. New long range radars are are also being added as well as SAMs without much advertisement...
