Hi, moreover given the catch-up the PAF has to do in regards to having a sizezabe number of BVR capable aircraft, I would seriously hope the PAF concentrates on domestic orders first. The PAF should first concentrate on finalizing the Block II version and inducting a significant number of...

Hi Mr. TaimiKhan, very good response. I will leave it at this. I am a banker by profession and just wanted get some feedback by other members. I completely agree that Public Sector Enterprises, corruption, and lack of taxation (9% of GDP, lowest in the world) are the biggest threats to...

Hi, let's be serious here. The PAF will challenge IAF assets, but would not even dream of touching a US drone, etc. Why? Pakistan depends on US aid and the US vote in the IMF and World Bank. Pakistan is not financially independent. Let's consider if the PAF decided to shoot down a US...

Hi, a lot of members are happy about getting these 50 new aircraft. However, one has to also factor in the long term human cost. Just the ecnomist/statistician in me thinking... /***************************************/ JF-17 blunder? What else you can get for the price of 50 fighter...

Hi, I wanted everyone one to be realistic in this scenario. Some members have mentioned the PAF and PN should have a combined JF-17 strength of 1000+. Are you serious or kidding me? Where will the funds come from? For maintenance, fuel, weapons, modernization, pilot and ground crew training...

Hi, I wanted to respond to the previous post by Mr. Mercenary. It was stated "why is China only giving JF-17s". Well Pakistan is in no position to dictate anything. It is financially broke and not to be to harsh, "beggars cannot be chosers, they take what is given". In addition the...

Hi, let's tone down the rhetoric and stick to the topic at hand. Is it possible to get 50 JF-17s is a few weeks?

The May 2011 issue of Air Force Monthly, stated that the PAF was on track to induct and complete production/assembly of 50 Block I JF-17s by the end of 2011. These initial 50 aircraft comprised of 8 SBP (Small Batch Production) planes acquired directly from China, and 42 produced/assembled in...

Hi, this is a thread on 50 JF-17s jets. Let's not digress to bashing India/Pakistan. Thanks!

Hi, Mr. MK raises some excellent points. For years, the Pakistani public was fed this “bull” of the invincibility of the PAF. This raid brought that notion crashing down to reality. However, one should not be to harsh on the PAF though, they simply cannot compete with the USAF. There is no...

Hi Mr. Casino, point well made. Even semi-literate and half-educated would understand that loans at this point, is like giving a crack addict more crack. However, with the past and current leaders simply skimmed these loans and sent the funds overseas. Pretty sad. I hope the IMF cuts...

Hi, feel like I am beating a dead horse when I post this article. In a country of 180MM people, can they not find a single educated and honest finance minister? The greatest threat to Pakistan is its lack of financial independence. In another article, I read that of the 1.9Trillion ruppes...

Hi, the PAF and the Pakistan Armed Forces high command are a bunch of sellouts, and better described as hijras. They will do whatever for the right price. They still have not learned their lesson from the 90s. Keep buying those F-16s and wasting more money on spares. They only last as long...

Hi Mr. Vikrams, can you kindly please direct us to the article or evidence that supports your statement "Pakistan does not have hydrogen bombs and it does not have a delivery system,and will never have"? I understand this topic of who has more nukes gets both parties riled/worked up...
