Who cares. It is important that PAF participated, that's what matters. No need for useless brownie points to bring in IAF into the picture.

Of course it matters. They are competing in the same category of light weight fighter market. So not having the other guy show up is not just brownie points, not to mention India's soft power projection.

With respect bhai..I f around..but I have a masters in aircraft design from Cranfield and worked at DRAE Farnborough subsequently did stressing for BAe and research into combustion Chambers. So I know a little about flight envelopes. Engines and what can and cannot be attached and if a suzuki mehran can be fitted with wings for the PAF.
This place is a place to mess about. I have never learnt anything here.
Have a lovely day...plus I hope yoh enjoyed the cricket today

Sqd. Ldr. Sibtain had the same rank when we bombed Indians during Op Swift Retort. Apparently this photo is also older. Is his current rank confirmed??

My little qualification in this field is that I can distinguish various fighter aircraft.
Must say have seen very few and far between aircraft supporting CFTs. Maybe 3 to 4 in numbers. PAF did experiment with their F-6s by designing what was called Gondola tanks.... Whatever benefits it may have added however it did stop the aircraft from applying its main air brake.
Missed the match however the result was certainly pleasing.
Take care.

Bro you do an amazing job with your posts. Much love and respect.
One of the things in life I have learnt is - a problem is only a problem until a solution is found.
I see the very valid issue of airbrakes and Gondola on the f6.
For the jf17 the solution would be similar to the f16. The experience is there so they should experiment at least. Providing the PowerPoint is enough for additional fuel and stores on the underwing freed pylons.
