[Ghost 125]

Damn you PAF for always playing hide n seek, Agar itna hi sharmila mizaj aj insanon mein hota to actresses dars derai hoti TV par. Ajeeb bewaquf banaya hoa hai

Allah ki qasam, ramzan me veena malik tv pe dars deti thi

 

[TsAr]

As of now, only one Blk III is fit for flying, rest all are standing assembled in the assembly area.

InshaAllah not long before they are also flying...

Oh sir gee, who's beat is Defence in Pakistan? Saray kay saray din/raat wohe Maula Diesel, wohe PPP, wohe N-League ko cover karnay walay hain.

Should we consider Alan Warnes as ours?

Pakistan main defence journalism hai hi kha bhai .... aik wajahat tha now he is also in USA .... so literally there is not a single Defence Journalist in Pakistan, Sumaira has started to report but her attitude is more towards reporting of Afghan affairs and Anti Terrorist Operations.

There was a woman member of this forum with Forum name @Spring Onion who is also a journalist (Members anyone of you know her real name) but not in the field Defence journalism. She was knowledgeable and had her aptitude for Defence matter but don't know why she is not interested in Defence Journalism might be because there is no scope in this field in Pakistan.

Don't worry about her. Worry about your own grave. We never look in the mirror. F the rest of the world

 

[araz]

why there is 9 hard points in the picture?

The 9th HP as you call it is/the gun . Block 3 has 8HPs.

It appears no ceremony, no nothing. The twitter accounts are in a race to break the news first. We all know, JFs are expected anytime now.. So perhaps it was her guess that induction or roll out ceremony will held today

 

[PakShaheen79]

If it was only 8 jets PAF got possession of, then I am curious about annual rate of production. Remember the assembling began exactly 1 year ago today.

 

[Amaa'n]

CAn't be her. Farzana was banned by PDF long time ago. She at that time was had the largest contribution to this forum... but someone from moderation team banned her. Reasons not known though. Her id was Jana

lol, i can assure you shes not banned from forum and forum administration is in contact with her

Are you sure we are talking about the same individual? She was banned before your joining date. May be she came back with a new id.

Some posted this response to an account on Twitter where Eagle's pic of BlockIII was shared.

Wrong image as the new Block-3 rolled out would be in just primer not in the grey camouflage finish.

Stand corrected. @The Eagle

There were never any established sources for the purported roll out today. And no roll out pictures or videos or official release was available today. So there was no roll out.
That is news! Is the third time the JF17 BLK III program has missed a deadline it had annouced just months earlier?
We know from the Sept. 6th media visits the Block III final assembly was in full swing and atleast 7 airframes were nearing completion. So why the delay?
Could it be the Chinese are still having trouble with the AESA? That is the only major confirmed change from the 2seater.
Did such a possible delay play a role in the J10C procurement?

If you are going to answer your self then no point asking others .
Pakistan tested a longer range Babur Cruise Missile last week but no pictures were released....does that mean no test happened.
The Roll Out ceremony did very much take place....
