I don't think China has imported any major weapon system in 2014. Even if the report of Su35 and S-400 is true for FURTURE, how can the writer include it in 2014 since there is no formal agreement so far ??
I dont know why a lot of Pakistani members think that China is desperate for export or for some reason China cannot test it within their territory? Its absurd to think that any country will hand over their important strategic weapon system to another country for testing and evaluation or for...
Pakistan tested a self stabilizing platform for similar missile launch capability on Naval ships quite a few years ago. But what is the current status of that program, I don't know.
My reply was against your assertion that "your order is not big just only 16 planes". Now you are saying that your future plan is to make large number of planes which takes the subject into a different direction. For larger numbers and functional requirements of long range patrolling and strike...
For only 16 planes it does not make any sense to ask for ToT or even local assembly. Plus since you already have 8 Su30 planes then why on earth is Indonesia looking to add a different type of aircraft into its inventory. Doesn't make any sense from logistics, training and maintenance point of...
IMHO, Z10 is the best Option that Pakistan could have ever wished for. Its not that T129, Zulu or Mi28 are inferior in comparison but its the fact that right now China is the only country (behind USA) that is investing heavily in defense related R&D. Not to forget the fact that China is ready to...
Congratulations to Iran on this great achievement. Doesnt matter how accurate is the guidance or what is the source of this missile .. a range of 2500KM (if true) is in itself a major deterrence against Israel.
However it would have been better if Iran had not disclosed this program immediately...
Best wishes for KPK and PTI .. I know a lot of ppl who are willing to invest in KPK but the TTP issue is still lingering and need to be resolved by the Federation + Army asap. The moment this TTP issue clears I think there will be a lot of ppl lining to invest big in KPK.
what is the status of Egypt and Qatar Relations ?? I read recently in the news that they have gone all bad again .. Is Qatar going to transfer their Mirage 2K planes to Egypt or is that deal finish now ??
This is the point i never understood myself. IAF wants a single engine Mig21 replacement and that too in big numbers. Then why did it not look at single engine options like Gripen and F16. Plus when you already have a Heavy Weight double engine Su30 in numbers which can perform all the roles...
Although a lone Urdu news source does not seem to be that credible .. however Nigeria is in dire need of attack jets to put a stop on Boko Haram group. None of the western source is willing to offer them a quick solution and the Russian option seems unfavorable due to high operational and...
In general I am not a supporter of Martial Law but how many times do we have to test Nawaz and Zardari to realize the fact that their interests and assets don't reside IN Pakistan .. Their only aim is to manipulate the whole system in their favor so they and their family/touts/cronies can mint...
Minus all the political, financial and strategic flip flops, if Iran gets a chance (and has a budget) then it should immediately try to get these or latest SAMs and 4-5 sqds of Su30 jets with complete local overhaul facility on similar terms like the Indians got. Su30 is the perfect platform for...
