Syria downed an Israeli F-16 within Israel's airspace through S-400. The only Israeli aircraft lost in 30 years. So calling this an overrated system is hugely marginalizing it's value. US almost ended all it's relationships with Turkey and put sanctions on, when Turkey didn't stop acquiring this...
India is acquiring S-400 in heavy numbers, plus add EM weapons it would get by being in QUAD. Pakistan needs hypersonic vehicle like systems to turn the S-400 and other defense systems obsolete.
I have a friend who is retired from Pakistan's identity card organization. He told me this last year that there is no such thing as encryption in that system (that hosts all possible data about the entire population) and that people can get access to the system based on who they know. That's...
I think the drone warfare will become obsolete in front of EM weapons. So in that context, Pakistan should focus on EM weapons and count in the fact that their opponent will have some EM weapons that would negate electric systems of any remotely piloted vehicle / drone.
So buy / build advanced...
When you put dozens of billions into artillery (Flak like arrangement as you said) and you are fielding thousands per area, clearly, you are forgetting the fact that your opponents have extremely large air arms that can reach these and neutralize these, in addition to using stealthy missile. You...
I think an elementary school's child knows the meaning of www.....I changed it to match the post with sarcasm. Is it fairly normal to run conspiracy theories? I don't come here often. So I thought I'd ask if an open thread exists on the subject I'm interested in. Sometimes, things aren't as...
While I appreciate the input, will you also point me to any thread where any anti-missile / ABM systems may be getting discussed? Thanks again.
Didn't "ask" or "leak" anything. Just trying to do some research on a public website open to the www (whole wide world) :)
And to surprise you, I'm...
I am researching to find out if Pakistan is working on internal R&D projects to create a two layered anti-Missile system (or ABM directly). Talibans now have the basic rockets / missiles as reported today, with ranges like 20-30 km's. Per the history, it might be a real future threat to...
I wrote somewhere else today, there was a news that Taliban tested a rocket / missile capable of hitting targets 20-30km's away. This is most threatening to Pakistan I think (like the past). So, Pakistan should focus on creating an Anti-Missile system (or ABM), sort of modeled like Israel's...
You can't control India or her foreign policy, or Israel's pull in the US. That's a very unfair comparison. Pakistan in it's current state can't compete with India or Israel's economies or militaries. Having a strong military is not what runs the world. Military relationships can only go so far...
My post was simply an analysis of the situation. I'm confused reading the above post as it goes from WOT to some history (I think), to Russian invasion, to India and to the "natives".....it's confusing. Nevertheless, if there is an issue with my analysis, I'm standing by to discuss.
Lastly and...
This should now tell / warn Pakistan to start investing and building in ABM like Israeli Arrow / Barak ....... the 20 KM can be extended easily and in previous years, Pakistan took the most damage from these rag tag militias.
Have the dual missile ejector racks been integrated in Block-3? I've seen an image that was photoshopped years ago, wanted to see a full BVR loadout in B-3.
To what standard? Block II or III?
I think Pakistan needs to understand the writing on the wall. It's military relationship with the US is over (despite some small sales here and there, worthy of symbolic nature). The QUAD is the next world order and India after the US has a center seat in this new world order. India is also the...
Not really. Just by making edgy air-frame, it doesn't mean it's stealthy or a copy of the real thing to work like the original either. Just by looking at the airframe, one can tell it's heavier metal / aluminum. Stealth materials look like carbon fiber and anyone with experience can tell...
HUD only provides BVR engagement envelop (circle / square) and lock on credentials. Video is not recorded, nor splash can be recorded in a BVR engagement.
Was this for Pakistan or the UK? Looking at your flags, a little confused....
No offense but this seems as if it's taken from a book or a...
Why do you even have to care what their pilots say or not say? I've seen the videos, I have enough experience to use sense and see the R-77's intact on all 4 pilons. The fact that Indians came out on TV and said "an F-16 was downed and here is an image of the "AMRAAM", tells you the true story...
Ok, my friend, I am not 17, nor do I indulge in useless arguments. Under the agreed upon world laws, it is permissible to target the nearest and origination point of an attack by the retaliatory nation. So naturally, the retaliation on trees (like the attack on trees) comes under that. Neither...
It is my understanding (and anyone from the PAF can correct me), that lock-on's from across the border between the two nations are very common, especially when tensions are high. That's because of longer range BVR radars. But there are SOP's, so no firing takes place. If you take down an enemy's...
