Btw Danger zone.. I agree its the job of the PAF to decide the name it wants to give.. and most likely it will be called the FC-20.. since the F-6 was never referred to as the farmer by the PAF personnel...and I have yet to hear an informal name for the F-6 as well.. unlike the FT-5 which I have heard as being referred to as "Kodu".

On the subject of popular name giving..
the first US shuttle was going to be called something else.. but on the insistence of hundreds if not thousands of Star trek fans it was named the enterprise.

Hi,

Numbers are the best names---non personal----no humiliation attached---no degrading factor attached.

Let say----we name a system Saifullah---the sword of God---which is taken out by the enemy T90 or Arjun on regular basis ( just an example )---now you have allowed the enemy to make fun of the Sword of Allah---you have made the enemy make fun of our God---.

But why some of us looking for arab sounding names----don't we pakistanis have our own pakistani heroes-----are we lacking in our local heritage and heroes---are our pakistani heroes any less than those arab heroes---isn't the heroism of our own warriors of the same level as any other hero.

Why must we kowtow to an arab name.

Maybe bcz it's part of our traditions to name our tanks, ships, jets according to the famous battle's, historic heroes as they were the first fighters & defenders of Islam and Muslims.

Yes, its can be named FC-20 Waheed Murad.
But jokes apart, jet fighters have been mostly named after a predator, like Tomcat (F-14), Eagle (F-15), Falcon (F-16), Hornet (F-18), Raptor (F-22), Tiger (F-5), Nighthawk (F-117) etc. Or it has been named after a force of nature like Thunder (JF-17), Lightning (F-35), Tornado (B-45, GR1), Thunderbolt (A-10) etc. Therefore, it is unlikely a jet fighter will be named after a person. Although, personally, I thought Vigorous Dragon was a perfectly suitable name.

See the pics and what is super ugly.
vulture - Google Search

so u see nothing ugly in those pics???

a bald, leather neck freak is what it is......nothing majestic, beautiful or even remotely cool about that bird.....and again it eats the dead scraps left by other more respectable predators....... not the kind of lazy a$$, honor less image one wants to have associated with ones own FIGHTER aircraft

Hi,

What tradition----who gave then a right for a tradition---those battles were not fought by us---we had nothing to do with those battles---they are a part of islamic history---and that is where it ends---.

Our birds are fine as they are---the names are as suitable as they can be---pak needs to change the names of its missiles and take out the names of the afghan warriors----as well as the battles---unless they are ours---.

There are many a naval, army, air force, rangers, FC men who laid down their lives for the nation. It is their right to have something named after them.

Be pakistani, have pakistani identity---have pakistani integrity---have pakistani recognition---be someone---be a pakistani.

Why not name it Phoenix.


A phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.
