New Recruit
Hi,
It takes a while to integrate a new fighter aircraft into the system---and paf has been going at a lightening pace persay in integrating this aircraft. I am pretty sure that they will stay with this engine or a more refined russian version of this engine for a while---rd 93 is seasoned---paf technicians will be getting well versed with it in the next 3--5 years time period---.
Now the question arises----when you just begun to know the engine well enough---when your ground crew can work on it with confidence and is just learning the ins and outs of this engine---why would you go for a newer and unproven system---that would not seem to be a very millitary like decision.
I think that the talk of the new engine is just to keep the opposition unsettled for a while---. This new engine is going to be for a new product.

people say it performed well at Zuhai, is there any HUD video available, does PAF ever release (on you tube you will find various USAF HUD videos).
the reason is that how do i know if it is performing well, HUD video will give some idea of tight turns and Gs it can pull etc.
nice pic .......
No ,dude we are not angry for that.but we have hard feelings for what France did to us on jf-17 deal ,for the reason they always run for money without caring about relationship with old customers,that is one of the reason they are facing cancellation of deals lately
