Man, I wish atleast we can secure the GE F110 Engines from that Turkish collab (if true). Azm need some reliable power into it and Turks can help with that
That meeting between CjCSC and Italian Defense Minister where CJCSC was convincing that Pakistan and can handle some medium to to high end technology & Leonardo has a fair share of ATR-72 in it whom just happened to have an Office in Pakistan. I wonder if the discussion was something from that...
I think It's a bit displaced Image of Thunder from the back. Front seems pretty much the same.
From the back, The Vertical Tail's Position is like UMMMM.... But Seeing the Drag Chute behind it, It has to be in the Middle. I won't get the Logic ElseWise.
No no, i don't think that's happening & that should not happen as well.
If that's the case, they should just buy it directly cuz there is no point in stretching your outlines.
If VTOL is there, it should be under PAF requirements, & that is what i was pondering about.
I will be very interested to know why the VTOL is being pursued.
Given We're not in an A/C Carrier Mood & I don't think Fighter Jet Landings could be an Issue since PAF continuously repeats the Motorway drill Exercises.
Only two reasons are coming into my mind atm.
1) It is strictly for the...
Well I think it will be very hard to satisfy a single frame that can excel in everything. Two Countries are struggling to perfect their 5th Generation Jet(China & Russia) both of them are looking for a 2nd main as well, having different attributes in them.
One can argue that they are making it...
I don't think it is plausible that PAF can afford a Single fleet Fighter Jet. Sure the cost and logistics can be reduced a lot more, & As you mentioned, China could catch up in Engine manufacturing & AESA department until the time Project Azm could be in final shape. But is it really viable to...
Yeah, that seems alot likely TBH.
Given the airframe is much inspired by YF-23(have to confirm the size though). The surface area is larger compared to its YF-22. So it could automatically allow more missiles to be carried even with simple launch system(Though it is complex on its own).
I'm...
There is definitely some credibility to the fact now that AZM will not be a (FC-31/J-31/J-35), assuming the manufacturing attempts are aimed (or rather inspiration aimed) towards different designs(i.e F-22 & F-35). (*lowkey having some patriotic feeling to it).
One of the things which I am...
Well think , Primarily they should look for NG because, YF-23(& because this seems a model close to it) was a very complex design, which actually was the reason F-22 Raptor won, because it had a simplified design(or they could explain it rather simply).
Complexities can play a factor and pretty...
My perspective was more from having an expert opinion and inputs regarding their development instead of shipping some materials from them. If it works, we can have certain "HEAD- START" of Western caliber. If not, (or even ties goes bad ) we will be developing them anyways.
Barring the Canards-ish thing . It seems a mere implementation of YF-23 "Black Widow"
The wing Canards seems from the same pivot too.
I only wonder though, Is there no chance that We can have Northtop Grumman can join in Aviation Industry Buildup(Majorly Focusing on this project though).
We did...
How the number sequence goes in the Serial no. given. Is the first 3 letters "310" are for Project 310 or first two letters for "31" for FC-31/J-31.
Additionally, assuming J-35 comes in as a successor for J-31, is it more a title name or will it be displayed on Serial no. as well, making it a...
Important thing could be that it is not the Drass Type Submarine(Although it has been mentioned that Pakistan bought 2 Midget Submarines from Italy)
This highlights the scope that they probably used them for study purposes & since this submarine(PNS Iqbal) is not one of the type of earlier...
I don't think we have a better opportunity in terms of getting "Freshers experience, While even developing the Infrastructure with than right now.
Ukraine is a proven Engine Manufacturer & China is a Developing Engine Maker.So, you can have a Final Destination Image(through Ukraine...
