Accountability of taxes is missing for alot of other things as well at least in military terms they have in interest of national security and potential fog of war excuse. We lose assets to crashes, attrition and have been at a constant state of war with a unconventional enemy. What matters in...

Let's just all agree to keep number of Saab 2000s a mystery and agree to disagree, if PAF went through all the effort in keeping a tight lid on the acquisition wouldn't it like to keep the numbers a guess. If so doubt any responsible officer would reveal if destroyed unit returned to service or...

As it is looking to enter transport aircraft production really think PAC should look into picking up production rights for the SAAB 2000 since SAAB isn't making it any longer and the design was ahead of it's time, sadly run ended too early. PAC has already gotten TOT and rights for SAAB Safari...

Huawei is just too far ahead in 5G to ignore. Not going for Huawei means not having the best in class for 5G. Huawei has released its patents but wished they were more aggressive in assuring their technology is non invasive or they have fail safes for it.

I copied from wikipedia, maybe they arn't updated. But thanks for the update. One question maybe you can answer as couldnt find on internet. Is JH-7 still in production for Chinese military or they've now moved to getting J-16s instead. Upgrades are happening but I'm asking about new units.

there is a difference between combat range and radius. You've shared for a future variant but still if as you posted again J-10 suites PAF needs better.

Again something what Mirage does. Yes basic assumptions but should give a idea on why JH-7 case for PAF is over hyped. As a Missile truck for cruise missiles PN is working on a better solution and for PAF the J-10 makes better sense. And if we wait it out Azm will offer a low observable and more...

Yes JH-7 would meet PAF needs as a missile truck in strike role but the debate should be laid to rest as the time for it's induction has passed. Same case for Mirage F-1 was once made as well as it once met PAF needs. Any new platform inducted should be capable of meeting needs for the next...

PN is pretty much covered in anti surface missiles by ship, what would be the speculated missiles for our new submarines.

Apparent all the so call political pundits have no idea whats going to happen. I think its pretty safe to say now no political analyst can predict or judge what Imran Khan is about to do next as he is a unconventional politician. He doesn't bow to pressure and not afraid to take the difficult...

Yes could be a trigger but I think was a global initiative because EU started scrutinising ethical practices. It had only tech related business activities left while I was there and sales heads often complained they couldn't make headway on alot of really great innovations being introduced...

Crappy journalism. Everything at these airports already outsourced. CAA doesn't do anything itself and subcontracts everything out, of course lots of kickbacks involved. Used to work for a international aviation services company and the company routinely lost out on alot of contracts because it...

Going to quote your previous post "This is where most Pakistanis fail to understand this move. Tejas is a platform and not a plane alone. While this news claims we will not import airplanes, its very possible for India to import state-of-the-art sub-systems that can be integrated on this...

Which is same for the JF-17 Thunder, hence there already is a counter for that and infact India needs to do some catching up on this front. Once operational the JF-17 Block-3s would be PAFs most potent fighter and they would have the PL-15 most potent AA missiles in the inventory, whereas the...

The V upgrade is a package for all F-16 blocks, similar to MLU package where PAF F-16A/Bs upgraded to F-16AM/BM. Block 70/72 can only be bought new but the "V" Viper upgrades have the same radar and avionics. Nevertheless now with pressure off from a arms race between InAF and PAF I think PAF...

This is a win win for everyone in the region. Modi gets points for make in India, creating local job and patriotism. InAF gets a much needed replacement for a it's aging jets and Pakistan doesnt need to get pressured into a arms race as won't need a stop gap jet to counter disbalance.

Pakistan ground troops did upgrade to encrypted radio's and these jets use much older systems. From what I can gather these are mostly grounded platforms, I suppose could be a attempt to check their relevance and assess their own capabilities. They would be carrying out studies on how to upgrade...

"The buzz, in fact, has led to Flightradar 24 issuing a statement, saying when aircraft fly out of coverage, the positions on their website are shown according to estimates based on the latest received position, speed and track data." So last known heading towards Pakistan aerospace before...

I think some confusion here, let me clear it out. Conventional or legacy aircraft control systems are hydraulic similar in concept to a power steering etc. Cables and pulley system is ancient, that is for extremely basic flyer. FBW is when a electrical signal is sent from the joystick and...
