Chaff can be taken out of a program, the program is upto the customer. We can request our own programs for the ALE-47.

25 25 of each I think or maybe its 25 50.
@Bilal Khan (Quwa) if only that leonardo DRFM decoy was available.

Yes compared to western it’s low but it was report in Afm article 800 hours compared to f-7p/pg engine of 300 hours

Not sure about mirage engine but assuming it’s in same range as f-7


At the same time rd-93 is 1/3 the price of pw f-16 engine

I thinks comparing Russia. Or even European eqpt to US is not fair US leads the industry’s standards in performance

Soviet could've made a better engine if they wanted to. Their doctrine was based on numbers rather than quality hence the low cost of the engine.

Leonardo was marketing it for the JF-17, but I guess end-user restrictions (i.e. the 'don't let China see' clause) and costs (it might be tricky dealing with this thing, i.e. knowing how many you need, the shelf-life, etc) might be issues.

This magazine a little different the current magazine on jf shown in various programs on video has 18 round per magazine and 4 total magazines two on each side
The magazine shape can always be adjusted accordingly as jf magazine is not rectangle

Plus two different size which can use existing magazine/dispenser

Simple flare for aim-9x ??

Is there any Shaheen VII planned for 2018?

@Windjammer @Oscar @Bilal Khan (Quwa)

Saffron is still in progress

Seems the switch over is a recent factor since we use to see individual release of flares....the same seems to apply on the JF-17 as well.

Number of flares dispensed can be set through settings...PAF normally uses single flare during displays..
The prgm and mode switches are used for this purpose... Programs are set in Data Cartridge.
