Not sure about block 3 but at least in block 2 they are using the cylinders.
BTW OBOGs is a nice to have otherwise Cylinder do their required work. It could be a matter of redesigning, cost and testing a new system from scratch which has pushed PAF to use cylinders as quick solution.
Yes the IFR is useful because
1) BlockII has increased capacity cylinders installed to support IFR and longer loiter time.
2) In usual missions, multiple IFR are not considered so it is believed that pilot will not be in air for more than twice time(he can sustain with full internal tanks once)
Just imagine if a UFO(secretly backed by US) attacks some critical Chinese/Russian assets then there will be no blame on US while their adversary will be destroyed anonymously. You may consider vice versa ;)
I hope it will be real. Although I am not sure whether the same UAV was used as its just reveled by Iran.
As far as the UCAV MALE capabilities are concerned,I Hope that Iranians will find better room in this regards as compared to fighter jet production
Thats impressive. The pictures are...
My point behind this was that Iranians hacked and landed rq170 and then they probably made copy.
But given the Iranians Qaher and Fateh jets, they cannot be trusted easily. this could be another mock.
Let this drone be mass produced and inducted first.
Sir I will not repeat my answer. go through the international regulations about the open seas.
read about TF150 and 151
Read about how US helped to recover Russian submarine.
you are too emotional than rational.
Before bashing any one you must be knowing about the person. I have been deeply studying these issue for last 20 years and I seriously disagree with you again.
My answer is still same, You need to educate yourself and please also check that what are the international rules how many times...
Not that simple dear, first it requires an excellent Satellite and Sensor coverage and real time data.
Moreover there are chances of signal blackouts during terminal phase due to extensive heat around the warhead and keeping right guidance at that time is quite tricky. China have claimed to...
1 PAF has plan to equip 1 missile with two drop tanks also. although it will reduce the free will to fire at target because only one missile will be available but it may provide some extra range to jet. Moreover if really needed then jets may compromise their fuel and go beyond the combat range...
With the increasing Procurement, operational and maintenance cost of 5th gen fighters, its a favourable step to produce and operate a single engine light to medium weight fighter jet.
Thats your perception. According to law once is legalized and registered and the other is a terrorist.
As far as 'Terrible' is concerned, most of our schools and madarsas are terrible but I see it as the executional and regulatory and law enforcement issues which must be handled.
