I can understand this in the beginning. But many short courses can be offered to train Pakistani labor like crane lifters, forks, bigger trucks and other heavy machinery etc., etc. It would make sure billions revenue stays in Pakistan. Vocational training is always one of the most critical...

What are you trying to say? That Taliban is now a bigger force then the US? There is no "bait" here. The US follows a rule and I've heard it many times: "when an operation goes bad, we shut it down, no emotions'. Secondly, as soon as Afg. operation was wrapped up, the entire focus went towards...

Your title says "staff" so I'd think you'd make very solid points. Let me cover two small one's and then the more important one. The US did everything inside Pakistan with the permissions of the dictator you guys had back in 2002 onwards. In fact, it surprised the US how much open access was...

Just curious, shouldn't there be Pakistanis working in majority of these roles and learn to do things themselves? 5 million is a very large number and what it's saying is that the Chinese won't do transfer of knowledge to the Pakistanis. Usually, it's 80-20 percent. 80% Pakistanis working under...

Oh la la, look...it's an anti-French gala! This is insane, the Australian subs contract seems to have worked as the tip of the iceberg. Now it's turning into a Titanic for the French! In my opinion, more nations would cancel French military contracts, including Mirage upgrades and Rafale's. It...

For once I found an Indian publisher on youtube who is being honest about the Tejas program. Hats off to this guy for being honest and speaking the reality: This sentence has a meaning? Care to give out "confidential" details behind this "secret" sentence?

The French are getting bad news almost on weekly basis. Similar situation like the one we witnessed with Australia. In this case, another superior product won the deal. -35 is much superior to the Rafale. It's time for the French to focus on other markets. No country would turn down -35 being...

US is working on adopting certain processes to speed up it's advance fighter jet development at a pace never seen before since WWII.

We are both saying the same thing on choppers with reduced wingspan for storage. The use case works for AC's and for LHD's, etc (including the Mistral class, although that's just one of many). On -16, back in the days, GD used to own all the rights to it. In fact, it was a General Dynamics...

The French will be JUST FINE in a few weeks. They want cheese, the US will provide them with little they need. Everyone will be happy again. Cheese runs the world! And just for everyone's education, Australians were looking to get out of that contract for a year now. It's time the French revise...

The bold above, storage, is the reason why the wing span is reduced. I guess I should've made that point clearer. -16 never had a naval role whether one pitched it for it or not, just like -18 never had a real role with the air force while the Canadians and some others use it as their top tier...

This is a paid report sadly. There is no way KSA is above France or the US or Germany. These nations are developed, have big economies with little to no dependence on just oil and these three nations produce and manufacture defense equipment that KSA and other nations buy. One can't be a top 5th...

Every vehicle, autonomous, piloted by a human or a robot, makes a U turn. What difference does it make if anyone says it was copied from the US? It's not a secret that China has copied a lot of stuff from different countries. But, at the end of the day, how many rich nations have a working space...

If anything, increased flight and more agility / AOA. Almost all of naval variants of jets and heli's have shortened wings, with the exception of F-14. It had moving wings to give it a semi delta wing shape for Mach 2+ performance and higher AOA. The only drawback back may be reduction of some...

This is a very well balanced write up. And yes, I agree with you 100%. It's great that an air force is designing a jet for it's operational needs and per the latest industry specs and this one venture would be cost effective too, as it's being designed directly by the professionals who'd use...

Without knowing too much about the JFT's airframe architecture, I can guess that hidden pipes may be linked to the air intake (one or the other). It would provide cold air enough to cool off the machine but without direct air pressure. It's not an uncommon arrangement, LANTRIN and other pods, in...

What does your post has to do anything with my post concerning the Mirages? Also, what you are saying here as if you represent the air force is actually false. I'm not here for fanboy statements. I'd like to engage in a logical debate to learn or share stuff and not waste time.

Read my question and please answer......

Will you risk your entire economy and growth over an Island that's in many ways more advanced?

WW3 consortium and ANSI! Before I go and waste time in answering such a childish question, without googling, can you explain to me how does HTTPS actually work? Do know a lot of googling would still be exposed.
