Does anyone know why Indians keep insisting that F-16s attacked them???
Because this will make our JF-17s combat proven which will greatly bolster its export chances!!!!!
Amraam is a bvr missile and is supposed to be fired at longer range targets and if a dogfight occurred in Indian J &K then it must have been a wvr encounter in which it would be more appropriate to use sidewinder missiles.
Also what happened to the target it hit or it just missed and blew away...
This is not a good enough reason.
There should be more radars in C, Ku, S, VHF/UHF bands so we have different wave lengths, better detection with reduced jamming.
Why do we have almost all radars in L band???
Why don't we have other band radars to have a layered surveillance system???
What happened to an AESA radar being developed by an Islamabad university under a research program???
Excellent design concept.
Lot of safeties.
2 man Crew is safe at the back.
If front independent tracks are blown by mines the rear tracks can still push it.
Very low silhoute.
etc.
Just a few days after India-Russia inked $5 billion S-400 air defence missile system deal, there were speculations suggesting the US might impose sanctions on India for signing a deal with Russia. Recently, the US has reportedly told India to but F-16s from them in order to get a waiver on...
I doubt that this venture will go beyond few steps as after the recent deals of S-400, 6 atomic power plants, 4 frigates, etc. CAATSA will kick in sooner or later.
Also how they will integrate S-400 & critical American technologies in their aircrafts?
now India should not ever even dream of...
I pray that it is an addition to the active force plus a few more for a total active fleet of 6-8 vessels to keep clear 2 ports in Karachi, Ormara & Gwadar at the same time.
FATA was always the territory of Pakistan in international terms, whatever has changed is an internal thing. We dont have to go & tell UN or anyone to tell them that FATA is now a Pakistani territory.
FATA = Federally Administered Territorial Area, i.e., it was administered directly from...
Kindly stop this fantasy.
PA would never penetrate deep into India including Kashmir as it does not has the resources to hold them & keep supplying them thru long and exposed supply lines.
Besides it will be expensive to maintain specially equipped forces for this purposes only & not...
I think China is working on 2 bomber projects, 1 blended wing long range subsonic intercontinental strategic bomber & 2 a medium range supersonic tactical bomber to go upto 2nd island chain.
TB will be used for AA/AD & to keep the threatening navies carriers far away while the SB can be used to...
As I had predicted ice is melting on both sides as the situation requires changes.
USA has the chance to squeeze our balls as both PPP & PMLN governments have accumulated so much debt we will have to do many things they require & in return we may get some scratches to show for something.
In due course the US will change its policy.
I mean after elections the same setup with a fresh mandate or even new people the back story remains the same but there could be democracy dividends.
Besides they don't have a choice & Trump strategy will not work.
Does anyoane think that this subject may have been discussed the Jordanian King Hassan's recent visit?
I believe that Khawaja Asif's disclosure of US refusal is a smokescreen & may not be real.
I believe these 15 will be a great addition & together with previous 14 ex-Jordanian ADFs at Bholari...
Yes now there are 20 combat squadrons excluding transports, AEWs, EW, etc. and CCS units.
We should be inducting JF-17Bs to phase out 18 OCUs F-7Ps.
After that Block 3s would be available to replace 3 PG squadrons.
After that Mirages could be replaced by FC-31s & then Azms
