Pakistani Engineers overhauled Cobra Gunship Engine - US objection

point is still for at least two if not more decades china will have to work over time to reach at the level where USA is right now there is no short cut to success and chinese are already doing it

coming back to the topic of the thread well this news suggest that after F16 USA also wants to pull the plug on spares and weapons on existing and promised cobra gun ships to pakistan and link them with handing over its so called assets and terroists in exchange as Obama has an obligation to show his voters something and republicans are fast truning againt Pakistan so

i guess @MastanKhan was right as he said something on similar lines almost three months back i guess he was right after all USA has after all made up its mind to say enof is enof and trade and tech sanctions are coming ... God Bless Pakistan
Well despite ALL those wishes, this is not happening anytime soon. You have to think of some other way.
US knows better then to jut leave Pakistan on its own. There are massive changes and shifts in geopolitical alliances but despite all the efforts, it is not going to get to that. :tup:

Plus the talks of how much China have to develop or how much Indonesia or Vietnam have to improve do not suite an under developed country sir. Best to start from own house rather then pointing what others lack.
 
.
if the US says no then should this not ring alarm bells with the induction of the zulus being unducted? what if they say no to that too? yes you have the z10 and the zulus are cost you guys nothing but should such riskd be taken?


If we want something similar to cobra we can get that from China through their reverse engineering and they will simply get few things from here and there and give us a good new helicopter

Now we should share tech of F-16 with Chinese counterparts. This should be a big lesson for US.


We have already. How do you think J-10 came into existence or similar to F-16

We need to get rid of USA and go for helicopters from China and Russia and when Turkey comes up with local engine for T-129 than from Turkey also.
Turkey will never come up with local engine for at least another 20 years. :enjoy:

Are you the one who insist on buying US super cobra , T-129 and USAF F-16? You are a shame to all pakistanis. Traitor needs to be hanged.
 
.
never put all your eggs in one basket. don't rely on china that much. USA will do whats they think is right for them. things are shifting here in ASIA. enemies are turning allies. Just like pak-usa on f16 deal. SAUDIA-USA on iran.
Pakistan should start working on indigenous arm industry relying less on foreign suppliers in that way we could easily save some cash and give employment to our people.
As far as zulu deal is concernend my guess it have very slight chances of completing .pakistan should go to those suppliers whose product dont rely on USA spare parts.
 
.
I wont say its a rant. You do tend to get aggressive and if you tone down the argument, it would be much more effective but what you said here is true and not a rant. Specially what you mentioned about Indonesian diplomacy and the need to learn from that.
agressive only when i need to yes but indeed true

@Arsalan
Sir,
Though not saying that the Honourable Minister is saying some thing that is not true, but it does not add up.

Pakistan has been operating the Cobra gunships for 30 years without trained engineers and mechanics? Very odd

The facility at Kamra was built for the purpose of engine overhaul and repairs of these engines. Yes some time back PAA had no night combat capability for the Cobra's, This was refused by US so Pakistan Army went to PAC and they said they have the capability to upgrade these helicopters. That was done with out the permission of USA and at that time they did raise issues.

All that matters for the China is to counter US and stand to them eyeball to eyeball which they are capable of... Coming to the F-16 deal and spare parts issue ...Pakistan is far more capable as it was in the nineties ...Different options can be availed if we are hit with any sanctions...We like US and western system for being easy to man and maintain ...but this option fails ...we can adopt to new systems on war footing ...Pak Def Forces are always trained to see it coming and accept it ...To be true ...Most of the Pakistanis are glad to leave the US camp ....Because of US we never had our own foreign policy ...!

JF-17 aircraft capable enough to meet defence needs: Rana
http://www.app.com.pk/jf-17-aircraft-capable-enough-to-meet-defence-needs-rana/

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain Monday said that the JF-17 aircraft were capable enough to meet defence requirements of the country.

Talking to reporters here, he said Pakistan had a fleet of state of the art JF-17 Thunder aircraft which carried all specifications of any advanced fighter jet.

He said Pakistan was at top among 10 countries having JF-17 fleet, saying that the country's defence was impregnable and had the capability to meet all challenges.

The minister said Pakistan was in negotiations with
Russia for procurement of MI-35 helicopters, expressing confidence that there would be significant development in two months in this regard.

Commenting on the country's defence production quality, he said Pakistan Ordnance Factory (POF) was producing and exporting small arms to different countries including US, Britain and Germany.

He said the Ministry of Defence Production was working day and night to meet requirements of the armed forces, adding that a proposal had been forwarded to the quarters concerned for separate budget of the ministry.

Answering a question, Rana Tanveer said Pakistan was in contact with US for delivery of F-16 aircraft, and in case the deal was not materialized, it would approach other countries for the purpose.

Replying to another question, the minister said a protest had been launched with US over the recent drone attack, adding that US ambassador had been called in by the Foreign Office. Besides, Civil and Military leadership expressed serious concerns over the attack, he added. –APP

امریکہ کے ایف 16طیااے نہ دینے سے پاک فضائیہ کی صلاحیتوں میں کوئی کمی نہیں آئی ، رانا تنویر حسین

شیخوپورہ(مانیٹرنگ ڈیسک) وفاقی وزیر دفاعی پیداوار اینڈ سا ئنس ٹیکنالوجی را نا تنویر حسین نے کہا ہے کہ امریکہ کے ایف 16طیارے نہ دینے سے پا ک فضائیہ کی صلا حیتوں میں کو ئی کمی نہیں آئی، امریکہ پر انحصار کرنے کی بجائے اب دیگر عالمی منڈیوں سے جدید ٹیکنالوجی حاصل کر ینگے،پا کستان غلام ملک نہیں، مسلم لیگ (ن)کی حکومت اور قیادت نے کبھی بھی کسی سے ڈکٹیشن نہیں لی، پاکستان کا جوہری پروگرام دنیا کے کئی ممالک اور با لخصوص ہمسایہ ملک سے جدیدتر ین ہے، پا کستان کے پا س دنیا کی بہترین میزائل و ٹینک ٹیکنالوجی مو جود ہے، پا کستان کا دفا ع نا قابل تسخیر ہے، ہم وقت آنے پر
ایٹم بم سمیت ہر ہتھیار چلانے کی بھرپور صلاحیت اور طا قت رکھتے ہیں، پا کستان کی فو ج دنیا کی بہترین فوج ہے جس نے آپریشن ضرب عضب کے ذریعے دہشت گردی کے نا سور کو جڑ سے اکھاڑ پھینکا ہے، امریکہ افغانستان میں اپنی پوری حربی قوت ا ستعمال کرنے کے باوجود وہا ں پر امن قائم نہیں کرسکا ۔وہ اپنے فارم ہاؤ س مریدکے میں پارٹی عہدیداروں ، ارکا ن اسمبلی اور یو سی چیئر مینوں کے مشترکہ اجلاس سے خطاب کررہے تھے ۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ پا کستان کے پا س ڈورن بنا نے اور گرانے کی مکمل صلا حیت مو جود ہے۔ امریکہ نے بلو چستان میں ڈورن حملہ کرکے پا کستان کی خود مختاری اور سلامتی کو چیلنج کیا ہے اس حملے کی وجہ سے خطے میں مفاہمتی عمل کو شدید دھچکا لگا ہے بعض بین الا قوامی طا قتیں پا کستان کے اندرونی حالات کو مخدوش بنا نا چا ہتی ہیں جو کہ کسی صورت برداشت نہیں کیا جا ئے گا۔ وفاقی وزیر را نا تنویر حسین نے مذید کہا کہ پا کستان مخالف قوتیں ،،سی پیک ،،جیسے قومی منصوبو ں کو متنا زعہ بنا نے کی کو ششوں مین مصروف ہیں چا ہ بہار بندر گا ہ کو بھی پا کستان مخالف قوتوں نے آپریشنل کروانے کی کو شش کی ہے پا کستان حق رکھتا ہے کہ اپنے خلاف استعمال ہو نیواالی ہر سرزمین پر اپنے دشمنوں کو ختم کرے ۔

Key Points:
*
8 F-16s will not effect operational capabilities of Pakistan air force
*Pakistan will consider other countries for high tech weaponry compare to US
*Pakistan have strength and
capability to use all type of weapons including NUKES
*Have strength and capability to build and destroy drones
*US response was not positive on overhauling requests of Cobras,after this Pakistan overhaul cobras itself.

India play dangerous game and it will hurt them. Leaving Pakistan less option means Pakistan will focus more on Nuclear War head and nuclear missile.
