If Pakistan and Afg. joined territories, Pakistan would become a huge regional power. No doubt about it, even from a trade standpoint. Very sensible post and makes sense.

So in the past 26 years of using Stealth jets in operations, one Gen 1 F-117 was shot down......(literally out of thousands of operations). So nations should spend billions on AD radar acquisitions hoping they'd down "another" stealth jet so you can give examples of? And no, I don't think I am...

I meant an arrangement like it is with Qatar, KSA, etc instead of weaponizing them with jets.

Too volatile of a nation. Take a look at what happened to $ 82 billion spent on the Afghan army since 2002!! Pakistan would be much better off economically to help rebuild Afghanistan, than selling weapons that could come back to haunt you. Past 20 years are an example. If at all required for...

A LOT of anti-US propaganda coming from India to seize the moment and "credentialize" itself as a growing super power in making. It's funny how our own dogs built by our billions, bark at us when they should stand with us! I'd have loved to see a strategic relationship with Pakistan and...

Do you or anyone else on here know close to real size of the US weapons Talibans have captured? I've seen many clips on youtube and on other sites, however, not one source can actually give a relevant size of munitions, weapons, vehicles captures by the Talibans. The US poured in $ 83 billion...

I am debating with you but it doesn't look like you have command over the issues you keep bringing up. Low band radars can't "vanish" the stealth jets. You need an equally powerful system in a Jet and then, in a missile too and that don't exist. The very few certain radars might "see" the...

In a high intensity conflict, the situation would be the opposite of what you are describing. The first target for both sides would be to "blind" each other, so the first targets will be C4ISR (so all your electronics). Whichever sides accomplishes this in whichever theater, will achieve air...

Common man. I hope that wasn't a serious question.

I've explained this a couple of times on here too. The USSR had a lot of issues and it was meant to go down, whether by staying in Afghanistan, economically, or through the states they couldn't keep intact. It was coming. Afghan war was just one factor that failed the USSR as a super power and...

Will they fit a 0-0 ejection seat in my sports car? I'd really like one in case I need to jettison. Just joking, you guys are getting too serious on ejection seats. Thought I'd lighten up the mood.

The reasons for Phantom to be without a cannon weren't due to the US back then thinking the life will only go with missiles, in fact, at that time, the Sidewinder version 1.0 had been out..... it was due to it being the "hi" of the tier and not intended to face off the Migs (USAF had F-86 and a...

Is that true? Is that why we've essentially given the most booming economic sector to India, aka, the Tech Industry? If the agenda was to just dominate the world, we had 13 million unemployed Americans in 2008. These millions of high paying jobs would have gone to them. But we worked with India...

Your post makes no sense!! Name to me a fighter jet that doesn't have cannons in the USAF, USN or USM? And I think the Americans are great at marketing of greater products! No two ways about it. Secondly, I still stand by the notion that the future wars will be BVR wars. But to win those, you'd...

Thank you. I know what you are trying to say. I was suggesting that the NEZ,etc, are just marketing purpose materials and are very subjective. For example, your Rafale has towed decoy that emits a similar radar signature as the radar of the Rafale. It can fool a missile (non IR) into exploding...

Is he going to sing a rap song? I've not seen this much bling on any military uniform in my entire life. It feels like he needs a Mic and he'd start hustlin' like Dr. Dre!

OMG! A fighter jet is much more complex, I can assure you. Take a look at the Chinese. Their economy is advanced, trillions of dollars worth of trade and a huge technical base, yet, they struggle with building an advance jet engine and this is essentially the biggest bottle neck in their fight...

What you truly need is a working economy and the private sector participating in developing such tech. No military does it's own R&D and produces the top line equipment as they are always under a budget. They rather pay advanced organizations who create jobs and have a talent pool, to come up...

Why steal information when you can learn from the Chinese? as well as use Turkey's experience in this area. An example? J-10C or a JFT redesign with RAM quoting alone will reduce much of the already low RCS. This is without too much effort. Obviously, a redesign would factor in other things...

Understood and thanks. I am really interested in reading about Gripen vs. J-10C. Do you (or anyone reading it) can provide post exercise brief on J-10C's performance vs. Gripen C/D?
