I do not see the AESA, do you?

The more blades are quieter and more efficient. PAF asked for inprovements after testing the old.

Spanish F18 Hornet 14 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Just position lights... Or since when did Spain added Aesa?

Here... Read some. Maybe it helps next time to understand what it is and not copy what others post. HOME OF M.A.T.S. - The most comprehensive Grumman F-14 Reference Work - by Torsten Anft!

Actually what did you show me? O here a tomcat with AESA! And even a Phantom during Vietnam war.... That F15 is launching not even AMRAAM but AIM7... That is a very old pic. Did not know they had AESA in it.

Every time you make a cycle upwards the fuel is added but no directly perfectly burned. Hence black smoke. Often also at certain settings. Often more visible in less controlled or fast reaction jet engines.

Being part of joint drills/airshows would be s start. But do know that Pakistani army works With Indian army in several UN missions.

That thing what is circled is light emitter. You have the same on the tail. It reduces RCS (no external device with a mirror) and it can control the light so you can control who sees you form what distance. These were long time standard on naval planes.

An uranium based bomb is a lot bigger and heavier. So you either have less range uranium or big range plutonium. Since range is a big issue when it comes to nukes you do not have uranium based versions.

I think in Pakistani war situation you better have the 7.62. You need raw power to eliminate opposition. Even western armies complain about that they need to shoot more then once to eliminate target. It is less weight and handy but you need more to do the same. And the range is less. I would go...

I already had these drawings in 2007... ;)

Add to that the USA will have to give permission to sell and investment to upgrade them to block52... In the end it is cheaper to go for FC20. More opportunities to upgrade further without restrictions and far less cost and risks.

According to original delivery schedule the plane is to be delivered in january 2011. It was the first to be tested and they probably have to refit it (remove the testing equipment) and probably doing some maintenance to make it brand new again. There is no strange or new development.

If we have solid maintenance facility then why do we send them to Europe to be maintained?

The US is not better for any other nation. The Dutch government was split over their "rebuild" mission in Uruzgan. Now the same are hoping to rejoin Afghanistan with a "police" mission. No one here is positive about it but the government is servicing the USA for probably another job for a ex...

It matters what the range (flight time) is of the plane but the most important is the capacity... Il78 is one of the largest capacity available. And if you are in war with the huge opponent then you need that capacity. It, the il78, can transformed into transport in no time....

I am still a bit surprised we do not use satcom in JF17. Ok, we do not have it. We have hardly strategic depth... But still, it could be far more difficult to counter and you could go for deep strike. The satcom on the J10/FC20 is that white dis behind the cockpit. I think they have a...

I think it is obvious that there are technologies that go from the one to the other. The engineers, projectmanagers and others are located in the same area and the same factories. But I think it is a blessing for the smallest (JF17) to be allowed to get better and better technologies. Only the...

I think the ZDk03 and Erieye has aesa that is beyond any fighterjet will posses. Since that is linked with other planes I think the radar is not an extremely big issue for PAF. Add to that ground based AESA radars in Pakistan. So even if they add a cheap short range AESA for JF17 (which is...

dear sir Nabil, When is the block two ready with testing and when will production start? thank you.
