Man, you're way too much out of your dirty socks! Someone dying on a hill is not doing it for money. The money you're boasting please stuff it up ur backside and go fucking fight the battle urself.

Unfortunately, it's still not possible with the current technology. To launch and guide an AAM, one needs a true fire control radar. AWACs just works in either broadcast mode initially or more fluid tactical control in advanced stages of an air battle. Either by voice or data link, it provides...

So are Stan McCrystal, Tommy Franks and many many others!

Not in use anymore, though once it was the site of a rare fighter-on-train accident! It was one of a kind sort of crash. A jet figher ramming into a train.

Bholari has one advantage over other bases- it's weather! It offers mostly clear weather throughout the year and access to vast unpopulated flying areas like Thano Bula Khan. Places like Sargodha and Shorkot are fog-laden in most winter months, so flying activity is reduced.

Yes.

New squadron. Saab's second unit. At Bholari.

A couple of serving PAF pilots said that one of the reasons PAF didn't go for the AIM-9X was the cost. US willingness, or unwillingness, wasn't a great factor at that stage. Higher ups decided to buy a large BVR stock and make do with the cheaper AIM-9M/L missiles for the time being till the...

The mentioned range is seeker acquisition range, not the weapon's overall range. Two different things.

Another interesting thing would be the choice of radar with the Albatross NG. Instead of going for the originally suggested PESA radar i.e SMART-S, PN should mate it with the Kronos radar. It's a top-tier AESA MFR. Price difference would be like 5-7 million USD per package.

You're right. I don't understand what our people want to achieve with a 350 million USD budget per ship. What we're getting is good enough in the form of current HQ-16. Wishing for exotic things in quad packs is a dream. An Aster 30 system for a single vessel would cost around 300mil USD if we...

Sometimes, I think his same pic is photoshopped for all occasions!

Cockpit was kept closed.

I'm afraid the uptake of personnel and knowhow by Pakistan on a scale as done in the case of UAE would have been impossible. Even if we had made all the necessary efforts. Major players have a different attitude toward Pakistan vis a vis UAE, or Saudi. South Africa would have been simply...

It's a new venture from Brazil. Initially, for 500 pound-class bombs. Maybe expanded to include heavier warheads. All such systems from countries like Brazil, South Africa and Ukraine need foreign partners and their dollars for further development. You could always customize the stuff according...

Nope. It's a Dagger guidance kit. Origin Brazil. Use of Thunder as a launch vehicle is interesting.

Is this the Thunder in pic? A Brazilian smart kit for 500 lbs class air to ground weapons.

In Indo-Pak scenario, radar-based early warning would be of no significance in the context of preventing or starting a nuclear war. Missile TOF would be too miniscule once the track is spotted during its mid-course/terminal phase. Major powers use a multi-sensor system for such events, and their...

We have many backup sites. Some are mobile as well! Unfortunately, the ballistic missile tracking software was omitted from the TPS-77 radars supplied to Pakistan. So these are your regular vanilla radars!

Unluckily, for cost reasons, Babur-class would be carrying only 12 missiles configuration VLS. Each SAM would be be 1.5 million USD, if not more. So it wouldn't be an air defense umbrella vessel for the flotilla.
