Air Force Question Thread

[raheelocelot]

The question is not how a UAV would fight against a fighter aircraft. The real threat would be on board jammers, early warning regarding the threat coming to UAVs in operation and Friendly assistance in the form of SAMs and aerial support. Nobody would leave a REAPER class UAV, unprotected...

I have a question here.
why JF17 have G-Limit less than +9? even F7PG Hvae G-Limit of -3/+9g. some sources say that It does not have negative static ability

 

[Manticore]

jf17 has 8-8.5G capability probably because of the underpowered enjine and less than 1 thrust to weight ratio.. [only in the first 50 jets]

That is not how you tell weight to thrust ratio Son. And I don't think most people know the exact WTR of JF-17. its way above you think.

Raheel I have a question for you. When you are on finals for landing and are about 5 miles away in a A-5. What call does a pilot give to ATC. Can you share that with us please.

 

[zavis2003]

what would be next option for PAF in terms of an engine

 

[jupiter2007]

85 Mirages were upgraded to ROSE standard, all ex-RAAF & ex-Arme de Air, with 20 under ROSE II & the rest ROSE I. ROSE II machines have the DART FLIR in place of the Grifo M3. The other Mirages are too depreciated, with the possible exception of the Mirage 5PA3/PA2s & their two-seater versions in the Mirage 5DPA2.

Does anyone know how many Mirage iii/V were upgraded to Rose-2 standard and how many were upgraded to Rose-3 standard? and what kind of Radar and Avionics, ew suites does Rose-3 has?

I have heard that ROSE-3 are upgraded with Italian FIAR Grifo 2000/16 Radar, has (ImIR) capability, ECM (Electronic Countermeasures), self-protection jamming pod, electronic reconnaissance pod, FILAT, Helmet-Mounted Sights, french avionics. Is this ture?

Mirage ROSE-III that can carry out surgical strike missions using long-range glide bombs.

Is there a way to upgrade Mirage III/V with RD-93 engine?

Here is the picture of Mirage III with Rose-3 upgrade.

Can someone please tell what exactly is the H-4 missile? and is it being used by the JF-17?

The news about it came in 2003 and there was a lot of confusion to what it actually is i.e whether a BVR or A2G. wiki (not the best source though) is reporting it to be a BVR.

Asalam o alikum to all members,

I have question about our jet fighters inventory.As we know we haven't get our Upgraded f-16 and f-16 C/D block 52.Our Jf-17 is in testing process and we also haven't get FC-20's from china.We have mirage rose III and f-7pg in active condition and i think mirage is better than f-7.
Can our members tell us about Paf mirage's That how much upgraded,radar specification,Is it Bvr capable,which Bvr missile we have for mirage and how much range is of it?

syedmobeenali;sir
i am not a concerned person on the issue!
but i guss, Mirage rose III plus F-7 PGS were the best for me, i guss its not just a plane, when we are talking about PAF!
but its more about combinations, maybe many commrades dissagree with me , & there answer goes to F-16s, but Mirage & F-7s are the most flyed combo , of PAF.
SPECIALLY Mirage rose III ,plus 5 were the most oldest airwarriors , defending pakistan's aerospace!
