Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions.

[Taygibay]

Joe, on average between Pak and US,
Pakistan feels only the yoke while
America conflates misunderstood
motives that indeed often change
with disobedience/treacherousness.

Rand as usual starts from reality, not
a given perception of it and reaches
"purer" prospectives, better tools.
[ It explains why they remain on top,
almost a different breed if not animal
than modern so-called think tanks. ]

My interest is of course dissemination
of this type of view in the general pool
of PDF members because Rand's ways
could bear to be imported amidst the
fake news gala and credomination. *

Let's see where it goes.

All the best to you and yours, Tay.


P.S. * A gift of a neologism to you that
I made myself from the domination of
a strictly adhered to view over facts.

P.P.S. If I had to choose between a sole
provider for the PAF as you offered, I'd
go with the Celestials because they have
the good sense as with the CPEC to help
their clients enrich themselves to pay for
the jets whereas Russia pains to keep its
economy healthy.

Speaking to Jane’s on the sidelines of this year’s Defence Services Asia (DSA) expo being held in Kuala Lumpur, an official from the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) has revealed that preliminary talks have kicked off that may see the JF-17 fighter sold to Malaysia. While stressing that no serious talks have started yet, the anonymous official said that PAC was will to form collaborative partnerships with local industry in Malaysia through which technologies could be transferred to facilitate either localised component manufacturing or maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). Rumours had surfaced that Malaysia was interested in the JF-17 in 2015, but these had been previously downplayed by its defense ministry. This time, if talks were to mature to a further stage, the JF-17 may offer a cost effective solution to the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s requirement for a twin-engine multirole combat aircraft. The RMAF program, which was announced more than a decade ago, has been hindered largely due to a lack of funds.

I am very sad that they revealed preliminary discussions. I think this is a little naive on the part of whoever did this. Now there will be arm twisting to stop such a deal by everyone from the US, India, etc. The US tried every possible way to stop the JF-17.

And what's with always giving exclusive access to white AFM or Janes people? Why can't similar access and leaks be given to local or non-western journalists? Anyways, the news is a good one and I am very happy to hear this.
