There has to be engineers, metallurgist somewhere in Pakistan or have they all moved to USA or UK and are working for Pratt and Whitney! Rolls Royce!
As for it makes no economic sense - JOBS! JOBS! for engineers and other allied industries or do we just do Sweet FA.
What is the point of having universities research departments? If they can't design or even reverse engineer one! There must be an aviation engineer in Pakistan who could built one principles of design is available on YouTube.
The biggest weakness I can see it is the engine if PAF need a decent engin design a new jet engine then every thing will fall in it's place, tha is the next step for PAF
I know it doesn't mention Pakistan but some how it will always involve Pakistan! Check the use of U2 spy planes - Afghanistan in the 80s, WOT etc...
What ever DIA or CIA etc... does will always involve people of Pakistan or it government agencies whether it is in Middle East, China or Central...
No one has mentioned Pakistan in this after all I believe Pakistan scientists are involved in helping China with modernisation never underestimate Pakistan's engineers with their know how experience.
Is it possible to arrange a Q and A with COAS Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. We could all participate in asking questions, if is possible live!
What do members think?
From photos of PAK Army Soldiers I have seen are PAK Army replacing their combat helmets with copies of PASGT Helmet?
Are the helmets made in Pakistan. Are they copies or made under licence!
Just a thought - If Israel Air Force bombs Iran's nuclear sites. If some how Pakistan gets involved in striking Israel Negev Nuclear Facility?
Does PAF train for long range bombing/strike targets and does it have experience in long range bombing with current aircraft. Can PAF come with a plan...
Just a thought - What type of back ground do PAK armed forces officers come from? I would like to know as in Britain mostly they come from Public Schools such as Eaton, Harrow etc...
Did he also compare USA and Russian aircraft their advantages and disadvantages especially PAF Pilots experience in flying every type of aircraft. Did they learn anything! My guess is watch the next generation of Russian aircraft they will probably will have PAF help!
How about setting up an volunteers maintaining these aircraft as they do here in Britain they usually tend to be ex-air force who volunteer their time and experience. By creating a charity we could donate funds to maintain these aircrafts.......
Does PAF have a memorial or a historical squadron or flight? Used vintage aircraft from PAF inventory to commemorate Air Force pilots and aircrew who gave their lives?
This is an earlier comment
Pakistan has many intelligent people who if given a chance could make Pakistan equal to any country in this world, resourcefulness of individual Pakistanis is unlimited if it is capped and used can you just imagine what would happen!
Self interest groups will...
