What's new

It is confirmed Sri Lanka Air Force to buy JF-17s

Why? to fight those modified Cessnas? Dont you think it is ovderkill?

Who mentioned Cessnas? The hideouts of the rebels had to be destroyed using LGB's and this one of the skill which PAF has been practicing quite a while now. And yes they were sucessful and Sirilanks were obliged.
 
. .
I heard from a source that several PAF's F-7 and A-5 pilots have been transferred to SLAF for countering Tamil Tigers. And they were pretty successful.

I'm not sure whether they participated in "live" bombing missions or not; but PAF personnel did run training programs/courses for SLAF fighter pilots, especially in low-level strike role.

This is total bullshit, I've read the complete white paper Sri-Lanka's Force 2030. There is no need for the acquisitions of this asset to meet the objectives outlined in Force 2030 in the most efficient manner. In other words SL can maintain the required level of combat effectiveness in order to meet the threats outlined over the next 20 years without a major restructure of current assets.

And take it from me, I have links to the Secretary of Defence.

Unlike a lot of other countries who mindlessly/blindly acquire assets, completely loose sight of the primary objectives of the military that are combat effectiveness and combat efficiency.

Great news. Now we can pick it apart and see whats so great about it according to our Pakistani's haha

we don`t need air crafts for anything other than for training..shouldn`t waste money on these

If u had read properly post 14, u wont be replying such dumb buddy. Even IAF is enough to defeat SLA. But Indian govt changed stance. stopped supporting LTTE.
JF 17 is good for protection of SL Air Space. It isnt much of a threat for India

how come India manage to spend on wars against others when 40% of Indians(almost 500 million !) living under $1 per day ? India is not an america to run over other countries..its a 3 rd world ultra poor nation that has hundreds of problems ...apart from US only China has the capability to do the same but to a lesser extent...And some of u idiots are talking about donating and giving soft loans to the rest of the world ! live in reality..if even the scores of slums in Indian metros can`t open your eyes , its hard to imagine how dilusional you indians are

Hey baby baby don cry. U can always talk about Indian poverty in some other threads. Not here. Its our wish to spend the money to what we wish fa. We dont need whiners like you to advise us. Can u find any credible resources, where Indian poverty is 40pc, u shameless thing? First know about ur country. Whether its Lanka or China, they are way worser than India in human rights.
And ur reply to what i quoted is utter BS just like u. Learn some skills.

very true
but you are touching on the very small aspect of the expected reaction. the real loss will be much bigger and deeper

Iran is totally off limits when it comes to military sales or anything civilian / commercial that has duel purpose. we tend to forget that our foreign exports mainly consist of Europe and America we just cant afford to loose that and whats more our Arab brothers would hate it even more.

I am a little bit aware of the law in this matter, not only that PAC will get black listed from direct interaction with western companies but even the intermediaries will also stop trading with us.

until the unthinkable happens and the Iranian regime changes its stance and comes out of the time bubble of the late 70s. Iran is a no go area for any country that is dependent on the west be it exports, technology, training, military etc. I think apart from China or Russia India is the only country that can show the finger to the rest of the world when it comes to looking after its own interests but then again, the opportunity cost is too high if it goes for Iran because America is much better choice for now.

glad to see a pakistani see the reality on Iran. India has kept its distance from Iran due to Saudis and GCC states as much as the West. It helps that the Iranian government likes to shoot itself in the foot
