Wouldn't a canister version have difficulty re-equipping warhead? Same rule applies. Keep the warheads away from launch platform to reduce risk of "accidental" launch. I think the "TNW" think going on is complete bull sh!te in that regard. The number of warheads needing security would...
Its all they got. When they get more funding and find softer targets, they'll hit them. Yet I can help but fathom that this negative approach towards Afghanistan as an occupied country that should be grateful to Pakistan is going to be the biggest hurdle for people to people relations despite...
Are you talking about Randi? Cause its randi to assume China is somehow going to save the Pakistani economy.
China support economic corridor from India-Bangaldesh-Burma-China. There is no or little money to be made with a direct link over the highest mountians in the world through no mans land...
Really? Thats true. But the weapons load and range with a F414 powered Tejas is pretty much the same. So what school did you go to that the Rafale is a god send?
I don't know if Pakistan wants to be in the race per say. Pakistan is better off buying such expensive systems from China if the need arise. However, for domestic production, a long range subsonic cruise missile with multi-platform support would be the best option. A saturated attack is the...
There is no difference in the weapons but rather were they are used that make them tactical or strategic. Yes, they can be detected by Indian air defence.
first 2 options are alredy being done. number 3 is only possible of Israel but even they do not pretend to have a nuke shield. Nothing is...
RCS reduction is not just whats in the F-22 alone. The YF-23 black widow had other stealth concepts incorporated which are being used on UCAVs.
As far as engine housing and heat reduction, the solution may arrive from the T-50/Pak-fa. What they some up with may be possible to have on the AMCA...
WTF are you talking about? Stealth has a lot of forms. The AIM of AMCA is 3 teir stealth.
1- RCS reduction
2- Heat reduction
3 - EW
All these are necessary for stealth. A F-22 flying alone is not stealthy. Because the F-22 would have to turn on its radar, which gives its location away to...
A heavier Tejas with F414 Engine can do what a Rafale does give or take with out the cost. So why wasn't it done?
Rafale is not needed, especially if they intend to build Tejas.
No they are not. Mostly held by people with money from Congress or people friends with Congress. Likewise the BJP and supporters also have their own media outlets that attack their opposition.
You wanna know where the media is state controlled? TYOu guessed it. Pakistan.
Despite Mushy...
I don't think it'll ever be what the Rafale is. The Rafale has twice the engines as Tejas. Electronic warfare and generation wise, yes they are very similar. Build wise yes, although not even close to the quality of rafale. However Tejas doesn't have that price and thats the reason why the...
Your calling me an idiot? Compared to when? IDK like the 80s when America needed China and Taiwan was on leash and SK and Japan had to please China for good relations and had american keen on developing relations.
Do you read history?
Cause after 1989, the Americans and Europeans put military...
Thats the big kicker.
What they track could be Indian or Russian. They can't know until its surfaces. The USN has enough data to identify at least the model via sound.
I think the LCA had been far more prepared to enter operation clearance than the JF-17 which is being pushed past critical analysis of the PAF. Think about it. PLAAF didn't want the FC-1, they opted to clearly for a J-10 which just costs more and gives more of less the same capability. Kudos...
Not for long. Its wrong that CCP takes the center spot light for China or rather East Asias development.
The Japanese had need to invest in SK and China after the 70 and 80s for political and economic reasons.
Economically though the shift is being made towards the other Asians nations...
Actually as far as RnD waste is concerned, Pakistan - China - USSR are far worse.
When your military budget is black hole, thats when you get enormousness waste. And thats what the mentioned 3 countries have.
India is mostly transparent. But not as many failures, aside the Trishul project...
Exactly. India and China know it. But they aren't the ones putting tactical nuclear weapons on a battlefield. Fears of Pakistan doing so is the scare, because when the warhead and the delivery is mobilised, it has a greater chance of being targeted not just because of the enemy but also by...
Yea thats ligit. As anyone creates an event, makes a mess, he/she is responsible for the public clean up. Not like its a private event.
However i'd like to know under what law GOI provides subsides to Haj pilgrims? This is absurd. Let alone any pilgrimage.
Thinks like this is probably why...
