Air Force Question Thread

[VOR]

Hi, would like to get PAF or Pakistani's view of PAF history. If you could recommend one book, which one would it be?

 

[BHarwana]

Can someone tell me how many F 6 (F 86 saber) we have in operational condition in Pakistan.

 

[Taygibay]

None to my knowledge, mate!

You're a bit late to the party with that one.
They went over 10 years ago.

Welcome to PDF and have a great day, Tay.

Dear @Bilal Khan 777 , Sir @MastanKhan and all Masters of Air Force, I have very important question:

What Type of air to air missile the J-7 and Mirage carries and what is the deadliest missile (longest range) which this fighter planes can carry and is in our inventory ?

Why are you calling the F7 the J7?

The Mirages come Matra Super 530 and 550 magic missiles. The Rose mirages are BVR capable but not sure we have a BVR missile for them.

The Pl5 should arm the F7s.

Both are capable to carry the AIM 9

Both can carry aim 9. Mirages operate typically with Matra supers and f-7 with pl-5. The mirages have bvr range, but no bvr missile is integrated with them from my understanding. F-7pg should hace limited bvr range (37km) but again no bvr integration.

Question: Does the radar or seeker in an air to air missile works the same way as it does for Surface to Air missile seeker? (not talking about infrared but radar guided)
I am reading a book in which they mention skunk works developed an ECM after Garry Powers was shot down in his U2 to counter soviet SAM systems. And it worked fairly well considered they developed it in late 50s/early 60s.
However they were only able to come up with that system after they gathered enough information through U2 missions over Russian defenses. They first had to learn all the frequencies on which soviet defense systems operated.
This brings me to two more questions, first is there a chance that we can learn and come up with our own ECM system after playing "war games" with China and their newly acquired S400? (I doubt they would reveal their operating spectrum but hypothetically speaking)
India is aquiring the same system that's why.
Second, do we already have a powerful enough ECM on JF-17? I assume the 52 falcons are much better off right now than JF-17

Hi,

Thanks for the post---.

For that very reason---we don't see the BVR's on the aircraft---everytime you hook them up---you reduce their life---and replace the gizmo to cool the seeker head ( a I correct on the last part )?
