The equipment being discussed is what was given to the Afg. Army. Not what the US troops had and brought back.

Right here is what I am saying too. There needs to be a diplomatic effort to the US through some polished and credentialized diplomats outlining similarities in interests to the USG, so to preemtp any further rift in relations......

I have a theory on this. I think in the next two years, these heli's, etc, will be flown by them. I think the Chinese will come to rescue and also to gain a foothold in Afg., replacing India. They'd supply the maintenance parts while getting access to these heli's and other US equipment as...

Thanks for your analysis. My post was in response to a totally different subject of US leader's thinking Pakistan is an enemy. I wasn't commenting on the situation in Panjshir....

I've been saying it for a while on here. With Indian influence and add the fact that the US withdrew (and constantly told Pakistan for double standards), the tide will turn against Pakistan. There is no hiding there. Your adversary's lobbyists are in these people's heads 3 times a week. This...

I'm shocked. Indian folks are usually very smart. Why do I just see either denial or refusal to accept the fact that some other nation in India's category, can make advance weapons? I used to read similar comments about the Pakistani JFT and missile tech on here too and how none of it would ever...

Thank you. County wide coverage is critical and so is the fact that Pakistan should develop her own SAM and BVR missiles. I like that idea on getting a medium range / cheaper system and batch produce it in iterations with longer range. The draw back is, it would keep you years behind your...

HQ-9 or S-300 is my guess. If I was Pakistan, I'd ask for TOT from the Chinese and mass produce HQ-9B/C. Large area denial capability is an extension of your existing forces.

While I agree with the notion that JFT's market will hit the sky if it downed a Rafale tbh, but the reality is, Pakistan - India days of hostility are over and done with. India has China in mind and nowhere does it focus too much on Pakistan outside of propaganda. So I doubt the PAF will see the...

I don't think this current discussion is useless. I think TVC should become relevant with every new block being built. Regardless, those were my two cents.

I doubt the 3000 number with passion. Let's divide the world for a second into tiers: Tier 1: Countries who can develop jets better or similar to the JFT. Tier 2: The Middle East (predominantly American hardware), TurKey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Serbia and Tier III: Africa, Bangladesh, Myanmar...

Ok, we aren't asking them to pull COBRA at all times. They just have to point their nose faster than the other aircraft taking a full turn. F-22 does this too. You can never get rid of it, that's why it had scored over 100 kills with 0 loss. Energy management is only a big issue when a has jet...

I've seen some simulated dog fights and trust me, you don't want to be on the other side of the SU-30 and similarly, the other TVC jets in that category. They can always keep their nose towards the circling aircraft post merge and can easily obtain a lock. In BVR, different story all together...

I'm really confused. I thought it's supposed to have an AESA radar, doesn't it? Similar / miniaturized J-10C's radar? Which means, it should have similar antennas too? Unless it would have an internal swash plate type of an arrangement?

Man, It's hard to debate with you with focus on a real theater, speaking about wars. Infrared trackers don't give out sub-par performance because a smaller army uses them. The devices do their job. Thus, the hyped about IR and then IRST came about after downing a Gen 1 F-117. How come another...

Not sure who said it. But my question was, where are the side antennas......and if it's not suppose to have them, how does it complete the 360 degree coverage?

Reconfiguration of the assembly factories takes time... If it's Block III, where is the AESA radar's side antenna?

I am well aware of HOBS Missiles. But the post was relevant to the JFT as I don't think it has HOBS right now. TVC has it's place and used correctly, no matter who the opposing jet is, you can always keep it within your HMS or by pointing your nose to it. I agree with you on India. Here's the...

In addition to the question above, can anyone tell me if there are plans to introduce TW in JFT? Even a 2D TWC would help tremendously in going against the SU-30 and other aircraft with TVC. As long as you can turn the jet's nose with the other moving aircraft, you have higher chances of taking...

This is beyond disgusting and disturbing. I hope they capture every one of these SOB's and put them in jail.
