Hi,

Seems like paf is happy with the engine---it is doing a good job for them---why fix if it is not broken. A new engine will mean new headaches---new tools and a new batch of staff to train---what would a new engine bring to the table---not much I guess---stay with the old and reliable.

Yep no point to go GE if your fleet is PW based. Plus current engines of both companies a very similar in performance with the GE just a little ahead from what maintenance crews and pilots are posting on F-16.net.

Pakistani's don't worry about Indian defence budget, as its their business, but yeah when Indian members come here and come up with the lines which you just said, then in a counter attack the Indian defence budget and other Indian issues come to life, but as said they are as a counter. India is growing, so will their budget, good luck to them.

And as said, we have the resource and budget when it comes to that, meaning if something dire is needed.




Pakistan armed forces modernization plans are going fine, delays are always there, Pakistan facing it is not the first to see them. The unforeseen events of last 2 years, the military operations scale was not expected, but as thing are now coming to normal and major operations have wined down, the modernization would be on the track, plus major weapon systems have been paid for and the modernization plan if till 2019-20, still a decade to go.

Hope the oligarchs start thinking about the country, then hopefully, all the worries would be gone, but whatever the issues we are facing is due to the Oligarchs in power, once they get themselves straight or are thrown out, economy will be on track, so will be the modernization.

well pointed..
moreover do consider that they have a border almost five time bigger then our to protect and have also to keep-up with China!!

we cannot spend billions on defense just because India does so...

regards!

100-400 UAV would be great to petrol the border area and smugglers


F16 C/D + Thunder + J10B

Should be ample force for any air based intrusion
