Sir, ab .. lol, people are confusing comm jammers with drfm self protection suites.. I had to say that. =P

Truck ki batti. :P SPJs don’t jam comms. And JFs specifically didn’t use EW that day. And for a good reason.

That they still do, Baloch 20 was over Turbat during the latest series of ops..

I doubt there's anything PAF can contribute in the short-term to the Turk program. They will in all probability do what they did with J10 program. That's to develop some internal knowledge base, have a team attached, then buy into the program once it becomes viable. OTOH, if push comes to shove...

And my take on this from pure logic would be that PAF will not introduce stealth to the region before IAF. PAF would not want to start a race, by itself. Hence the long game, either TFX will become a reality, at some stage in the future and PAF will buy into the program. If IAF, by some stroke...

As I said..and you already know. @JamD

Nah! They know they'd get effed up either Pak opts to buy into a fifth-gen program or makes one of its own.

If I see PAF starting centers of excellence within unis, or funding talent and research in-house. This would look plausible. You already know how current effort is going, don’t need to even go details of that. :) I see more chances of a home grown next gen air borne weapons program coming out...

You know my views on this already. #foreverskeptic :)

Majority of J10CP pilots are F-16 pilots. Incl those who first evaluated the aircraft.

They’ve still to answer to the fact … as to how did they even manage to locate the AMRAAM fired.. given the terrain unless they exactly knew where it went. :P As for MKI.. From Asian Raptor to Asian Dodger. :)

The first report out of India, was the Abhi yelled on the radio; Fox 3 and then got hit himself. This is before everyone was let on that Abhi could not hear crap... and neither could his controller from him. =P Imagine the bs..

Probably work of an intern. And not the first time that PAC/HIT information pieces et al have typographical errors. You'd see the banners et al on international exhibitions. As for keeping height et al hidden, I am fairly sure a human or AI with access to latest satellite imagery can calculate...

RD-93MA and WS-13E share a lot of commonalities as well if I remember correctly. @Deino should know more about this.

PAF .. seemingly is betting heavily with Chinese systems across the board, given that view and the future of Sino-Pak ties, won't be surprised at all if they opt for WS-13 over 93MA. Let's see, they're going big on Chinese systems across the board, older engines can always be replaced by WS-13...

I'd vote for WS-13, since it's already type-certified in China. Just see no reason anymore, why PAF won't opt for it.

So, how soon will we see an updated version of JFB3, with WS-13, now that J10s have shown up with WS-10B. I see no reason why PAF would not opt for a better engine here, given the chance.

JF-17s did not only undertake CAPs and sweeping responsibilities during SR but in the 6-8 grueling months of constantly manning stations as well in the aftermath of SR. The bird has more than proven itself.

That’s the job of a fire control radar.

God truly works in mysterious ways. Indians first reduce their order of 100+ Rafales to 36 odd jets. Pakistan keeps mum about another buy until the last very moment, while the world piles on orders for Rafale, effectively shutting the doors on a follow up order by IAF until the end of the...
