You don't know what the Chinese are developing or what the PAF are buying, so yes you don't know jack. You call me a fanboy as much as you like, doesn't change the truth - the latest variant of that AEWC that you say puts the Chinese "far behind the west," has exactly the same type of radar as...

The AEWC mentioned in the article (the "rotodome" KJ-200) is NOT the one being procured by PAF. It uses a PESA radar whereas the KJ-200 "Balance Beam" uses a "blade" configuration AESA radar, just like the Swedish Erieye radar. This is the one now in service with the Chinese navy and being...

Arsalanaslam and luftwaffe, those brochures from Selex Galileo are incorrect. PAF has already selected NRIET KLJ-7 for the first batch, this is confirmed by ex-COAS. I think S7 was chosen by PAF initially in the late 90s when Pakistan gave 50% funding to the project, but no contract was...

Hi, can you tell me where you found your avatar picture? I've never seen so much smoke coming from a GTR, is it a tuned one or is the pic edited?

Hi Captain, I'm fine thanks, just busy with work and studies. How are you doing?

It depends on how much the JF-17 upgrades cost. The upgrade price will be added to each JF-17-2 that they build, building more JF-17-2 will make the upgrade price lower. The current JF-17 costs ~12 million each. How much extra do you think PAF should spend on each new upgraded plane? How many...

They still have the 50 cal. Browing guns and rocket pods for the old F-86 in storage? Why would they keep those? Surely they can use the more modern guns/rocket pods being produced in Pakistan?

But then its only the same people talking about LCA mark 2 when the mark 1 is still not operational yet. So you can't really criticise people for doing it, can you? The point is that with a new and more powerful engine, radar/avionics, new weapons, advanced light-weight materials etc, the JF-17...

In the first video the officer (was he the Air Chief at the time?) mentions that they are going to equip their new F-16s with beyond visual range missiles, presumably the AIM-7 Sparrow. I doubt PAF received AIM-7 before the sanctions came, can anybody confirm if any Sparrows were delivered?

Don't be so cocky bro, I have read in several places the arjun's problems have been solved and 126 of them will be fielded by the Indians. Whether that is true or not, I don't know. But I do know that Pakistan's answer to arjun, the Al-Khalid 2, will not be in production until at least 2019...

There are many Indian posters on many forums, comment sections and blogs who disagree with you. That's why. Even your own military people disagree with you. I have read posts on an ex-InAF pilot's blog and on a forum by an IA officer saying "god speed" to Pakistan. It means Pakistan isn't...

Mr Defence Analyst? I'll take that as a compliment coming from you, Mr Fanboy. Show me which questions I did not answer properly. I said JF-17 has HMCS for a reason - it negates some of the sukhoi's manoeuvrability advantages. This is one fact you do not seem to want to accept. I already know...

Thanks for posting those pics Qsaark. I haven't seen the pictures of the blue and white KJ-200 before, the one with the 4 blade propellers and "Y-8F200" written on it. Could this one be the KJ-200 prototype that crashed? It has 4 blade propellers while the other pics have more modern-looking 6...

Hello whitepawn, thanks for posting the UAV pictures but I just want to point out to you that the Chinese AWACS picture you posted is not the Chinese AWACS Pakistan is buying. :) The one you showed is KJ-2000, but the one PAF is buying is KJ-200: http://www.ausairpower.net/KJ-200-AESA-AEWC-3S.jpg

No, YOU will reach the same conclusion WITHOUT discussing anything, because you are a fanboy. Don't you think that JF-17 also has HMCS? Dragging AEWC into the equation is perfectly acceptable because it is the big equaliser. It negates your sukhoi's radar advantage. I don't care how many...

Mr Singh blows his nose without a tissue, fattie decides not to shake hands.

Here is an article written by a Pakistani defence journalist, Usman Ansari (he has written many articles for western magazines, there are many more on his website covering various topics): The Al-Khalid

They wouldn't need to be employed against India if India would stop pushing Pakistan around. Nope. How does assistance from the Chinese sound? I wasn't comparing those, I was referring to the "Naar" UCAV. Sorry, no sources, I don't care if you want them or not. I don't buy your post on...

I don't think 30mm incendiary rounds would penetrate tank armour, even 100mm anti-tank rounds are obsolete against modern tank armour aren't they? The latest tanks always have 120-125mm guns. They need the DU to guarantee a kill. Same thing, Thunderbolt II is official name, warthog is a nickname.

This is the reason why Typhoon is famous for high speed (supersonic) agility and extremely high thrust to weight ratio. Typhoon's ability to get in range to fire its own missiles, then get out of range of enemy missiles is better than any other jet, except possibly the F-22. JF needs a more...
