Sancho is spot on about SU35 for IAF. su30mki of IAF is effectively around 85% of the SU35. IN OTHER WORDS the russians have used the massive success on MKI as the design improvements on the SU35. for IAF which is committed to buying 230 mki it makes sense to go striaght to 5...

The Vedio is impressive. For a developing country india seems to be spending a lot of time and money on its military industry for the future. I will be amazed if indian,s 1 million man army all obtain F INSAS status by 2020. I think it may be just say their strike corps prehaps 6...

I think The Indian Military Top Brass have already decided that it will not be the mig35. The Massive issue of Gorskhov Price hikes and 70% domination of Russian military hardware has made india THINK carefully. The indian military now wants WESTERN technology. BUT only those that...

luftwaffe India & China do not have any where near the Hostility level towards each other that india & Pakistan have. There is virtually no chance that PLAAF will engage IAF at the same time as PAF. WHICH MEANS in a indo pak conflict 90% of india,s planes will be stationed to...

Declining How. Surely Pakistan spends more now in $$$ then it did in 2003. Are you referring to % on defense of GDP. ???

Israeli technology in Radar Electronics UAVs Survaliance is As good as it gets. Russia want Western technology. They cannot get it from USA so like india they go to Israelis. PS The cold war between RUSSIA AND USA is over. The new cold war is between China & USA.

The JF17 is only just nearing Initial Operational Clearance... There are only 8 Prototypes in service and the first order of 42 planes as just been made. Before PAF/PAC start to consider block 2 improvements SURELY IT MAKES sense to fully intergrate the JF17 block1 INTO PAF doctrine...

A PAF which is proficient and well trained will not engage SU30 MKI with JF17 in a 1 on 1 SITUATION. Just has in Kargil War PAF will only engage IAF if they have 50% chance of surviving the engagement. OTHERWISE they will avoid the scenario. USA & Israel only engage wen they know...

Staying Ahead or Buying Technology from Abroad takes serious money. In many cases even money is not sufficient to get you the technology because their are some technologies that can,t be brought even by your close allies. eg RAF & NATO will get only a downgraded version of JSF...

The MIG29 should be scrapped BY IAF in my opinion. The Airframe & engine are a major handicap. 70 planes at $10 million each = $700 million to upgrade. by 2011-2012. Better IAF put this in MRCA pot of $10 billion or induction of TEJAS mk1

How Accurate is the figure for China at $69 billion per year. The USA believes China spends more then they let on. " closede door policy" India much more open and that $29 billion is probabley right .

China,s Problem re Stealth Technology is NOT MONEY. They have more money then USA !!! Their biggest weakness is They cannot buy or share technology from West. The WEST is running Scared of China.

Good Point Corzair. F16s Today easily the best war plane in PAF. in 5 YEARS TIME not so vital with J10 arriving...

In 2017 indian military should fear China by then China will be the second most powerful nation on Earth. Both in terms of GDP might and increasing military might es[p Navy space & Air force. But in all honesty in the West many believe india is china only major rival long term both in...

Would be surprised and real coup for PAF if china TOT for J10 production in Pakistan. Thats like USA allowing JSF production in say Japan or UK . New technology can be transferred but at huge cost eg RAFALE to india with 100% TOT will cost $12 billion.

Munir. From your statement can we assume YOU TOO like alot of fellow board members feel that USA aid and F16s re no longer needed. That China can forfill all and any gaps that USA reducing support to Pakistan may leave. " One thing i have realised even the UK where i live is a...

CIA will be looking for Indian intel on Pak /Afghan border, WOT,, ISI and Taliban. RAW although inefficient will stil have some good local knowledge better then CIA pentagon MI5 etc.

Without American Aid Pakistan would be left with a defense budget of approx $6 billion About the same in FOREX. Without American Aid for Pakistan Economy where will the Growth come from. ??? OBAMA wants results on WOT and will scrutinise every thing in SWAT. He will use as they...

F16block 52 ARE VITAL for PAF they have the better radar and the AMRAAMC5 BVR missle which the J10 cannot match. J10 will develope but i,m sure even the PAF wud rather have the F16s with AMRAAMS

Ae the Israelis Replacing F15. i THINK NOT. They have ordered JSF approx 40 to begin with. These are due to replace F16 blocka/b (The oldest F16s in IDAF since 1982) The F15 will go thru a MLU will remain in IDAF service till at least 2025.. Even USA will retain several...
