The only customer for the new Gripen in can think of is Brazil. The gripen, Rafale, and Super Hornet were shortlisted for FX-2 competition. I know a couple of countries are leasing the Gripen with the option to buy them. I would assume that they would take the Gripen NG once the leases start to...

I might be wrong but isn't the RBE2 the Rafales radar? There is a AESA version being built for the French Air Force and it would be on the Rafale if Brazil or India or UAE chose them. I don't know if its for export though. When the secon JF-17 batch comes out it would be brand new so i don't...

My roomate is Indian im not. My posts haven't had any Indian bias in them for the most part. What i said about companies offereing India the lastet in everything is true. Its mainly happening because India has the money to pay for all of it. My uncle works for boeing and he was telling me...

If the lca block 2 can have the elta aesa the new engine and the weapons Integration done then it's definetly 4.5 gen it's on the lower spectrum but it's still a solid 4.5 gen aircraft. It has the avioncs but the radar and engine are letting it down. I don't know what the by deal is about havng...

I'm typing this on my iPhone so I'll make this quick and write a longer post later. I think we need to wait for the mrca winner to be announced. This will tell us the new weapons package India will recieve. The three short listed plnes should be the rafale super hornet and the eurofghter. The...

Who on earth would shoot long range ballistic missiles at india? The missiles China and pakistan could potentially launch are not Long range ballistic missiles. The countries are too close in proximity to India. Who else would attack India. I thought i read somewhere about THAAD potentially...

It didn't get bungled up; Qatar wanted an ungodly amount for the Mirage 2000's. I believe it would have been almost the same amount to have new ones built instead of procuring them from Qatar. They waited too long though.

I don't know how many of the Mirages are being upgraded but they should be upgraded to 4th generation status. They can't become 4.5 gen aircraft, but it doesn't mean that they won't be potent. They should serve another 10-15+ years with the Pakistani air force.

Sorry dude but there is no way Pakistan can get the Rafale or Mirage 2000 aircraft. Mirage 2000- where would they buy these. The UAE is getting rid of about 60 of these and trading them in for the Rafale but they will most likely go to India as a stop gap measure for their dwindling squadron...

Hopefully no one gets offended but it is not possible to make the Jf-17 a Fifth Generation fighter. This would require a 100% re-design of the aircraft. The Two major things that set the Raptor apart from every other aircraft is that fact that it can super cruise and Internal weapons bay Unless...

It is really 22 Billion considering the MMRCA is 12 billion of those dollars. But still that is a huge amount. I wonder what they are considering to procure? I read that India might have Russia build another batch of Krivak III Frigates, Also if the Indigienous missile efforts fail would they...

The Mig-35 is not the best aircraft. Price wise it still isn't (Grippen NG is cheaper and more capable) The problem is Russia would literally control all of India's main fighters except the Jaguars and the Mirages. That is too big of a risk for the government to take considering how weapons...

Unfortunately there aren't many countries to buy Mirage 2000's from. UAE is getting rid of 60 those might go to india as a stop gap measure but besides that no Mirage 2000's would be available. In a couple of year countries without a lot of money will probably have only a couple of options to...

The Mig 29's were shot down because of a bunch of factors.It was like 4-1 odds against the Mig not to mention Poor training, poorly maintained, no awacs, didn't have latest weapons.... Also the Federation of American Scientists have said that the Mig 29 back then had superior maneuverability...

With the dwindling squadron levels I wouldn't be surprised if your government went ahead with the option for more aircraft. They need it badly. Hopefully they are smart and have the deal signed by the end of the year. Also no one is taking into account the 50 percent offset clause, when...

How many plants are producing the JF-17? If its just one like it is for many aircraft that seems like an awful lot of aircraft to be churned out so quickly. Im going to assume that the were partially assembled kits from the Chengdu factory that's how 18 aircraft will be built so quickly.

I think that the price reflected is reduced for the pakistani military only. There is no way that the export version would be that cheap. But then again China can make things ridiculously cheap. It is a fourth generation aircraft comparable to the F-16 block 40, its no eurofighter...

The only aircraft that the S-400 wouldn't be able to bring down would probably be the Raptor but then again when would it ever have the opportunity to test it. Pakistan need a new generation SAM but i doubt Russia would sell this to them b/c of India. Are there any European/ Chinese SAM's...

The MTCR doesn't apply to Air to Air missiles. Missile Technology Control Regime The KS-172 doesn't fall into this category. Bhramos does b/c its a cruise missile. Moscow: Do you know how far along the JV has progressed? Also do you know what the new set of weapons will be.

Honestly every aircraft except for the Mig-35 is a serious contender. The Eurofighter is the real dark horse in this competition IMO. Yeah it costs a lot of money but it's well worth it. Its A2A capabilities are second only to the Raptor. And considering Pakistan and china won't have...
