Only a small part of Kashmir was given to China and nobody lives there anyway. Gwadar port is more important for Pakistan than it is for China. India doesn't have anything to learn from Pakistan's experience with USA, just like Pakistan doesn't have anything to learn from India's experience with...

Super Hornet style signature reduction is on the cards and depends on money. But no, JF-17 will NEVER become like F-15SE. Didnt you read the above post by Gambit? It would need internal weapons bays and it is simply too small for those.

Shocked? Nah. How far ahead is MKI or even the (sarcasm) deadly F-22 killing Jaguar going to get? Once AESA, HMS, TVC, data-links and so on are added, they can only become stealth fighters. What specs will MKI have after the next 5 years that the JF and J-10 cannot possibly field? I don't see...

So you have no idea about the security of each country's weapons are, all you have to go on is "they both went to USA to learn." Pakistan has more reasons to keep their arsenal under the best security systems they can come up and vet personnel properly than India does. USA, Israel and India...

MAR-1 is supposed to be a really good missile, I read somewhere that the USA even banned Brazil from exporting such missiles because their guidance system design was so advanced. The range is far greater than that according to the inside sources. Anyway, PAF should really get their hands on...

Wrong, JF-17 is designed to be integrated with Western, Chinese, Russian and of course Pakistani weapons. Compatible with Western databus architecture. Check the Pakistan aeronautical complex website for proof. Actually, the JF haters talk of that stuff too. There are some pretty horrendous...

Thanks for replying Penguin. Do you reckon these would be a cost-effective buy for PN, or are there any new-build ship of the same role/size class that would be a better choice? Especially considering lack of radar signature reduction on these old ships. From your reply, seems to me the PN would...

No chance. We should stop saying JF-17 will be made "stealthy," it seems to give the wrong idea. Instead, we should say there will be some minor modifications will be made to reduce radar signature.

According to the inside sources at PakDef, PAF was forced to buy the block 52 in order to get AMRAAM released.

Interesting pictures from Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums - View Single Post - PLAAF; News and Photos volume 13 New vs old: The horizontal tail surfaces are different, looks like they are still tweaking it. Isn't PAF taking delivery next year? China's navy has already bought some of these...

Their system is better. PAF's is nearly as good, it has some advantages over theirs which make it more suited for the needs of PAF.

But most of PAF's aeroplanes right now are really ancient. Why upgrade them when they can get a JF-17 for 12 million dollars a piece, including new radar, BVR weapons and data-links. I am certain that remote targeting would be incorporated at some point if not already, it has so many advantages...

A comment underneath that article that will teach you something: Compare it to an F-22, it doesn't even LOOK stealthy.

Sir, what about the crews? I would appreciate any info you have.

Thanks for providing all that info and those pics, Rafale is an impressive aeroplane. But the answer to your question is very simple. Apart from the money issue as above posters mentioned, there is this:

Pakistan in the frame for Type 42 destroyers According to wiki: Sensors and processing systems: Radar Type 1022/965P air surveillance, Radar Type 996/992Q 3-D surveillance, 2 x Radar Type 909 GWS-30 fire-control, Radar Type 1007 navigation, Sonar Type 2050 / 2016 search, Sonar Type 162...

I guess PLAAF will take as many as can be built before ~2014-2015, then make deliveries to PAF too?

I'm not playing semantics games with you. He doubted claims that M88 could be fitted and told everybody to stop talking about it, I give a news report stating that it was considered. No China would not want Russian TVC engines in their aircraft, that is why they are developing their own...

Cmon guys, tell us more. Airbus give some hints, it can't be that secret if somebody told you! :) Santro I envy you very much, did they offer you a job? How would you compare their facilities to other organisations you have experience with?
