Paris Air Show 2019 - Thunders in Europe

Best ever video of a Thunder flying demo, do they use some kind of radar based auto tracker with the Camera to keep the jet in the middle of the screen?


From 20 years ago we had security cameras that autodetect movement, pan, zoom, and auto track. You could even set limits so it does not record anything outside your premises.

The same approach is now used in industry, e.g. safety systems that utilize a camera. you can draw virtual lines around a hazard and the system will stop the machine or do whatever you program it to do if/when the limits you have set are breached
 
Thanks for sharing the good thing is engine quality seems to have improved as no visible black smoke

is it a different plane? where is the green paint of pakistani flag?
No smoke means it is flying a chinese WS13 engine? am i correct to assume ?
 
What was the reaction of the croud and the local media ? any feed back ?

Nice display, but it needs something to wow the crowds and get attention, so it can win some export orders. Hopefully with the Rd-93MA or WS-19 and the increase in composites it can be able to pull 9 Gs. With the higher thrust to weight ratio it could try to out do a known performance routine by a much more expensive 4th generation fighter

Defense budgets are tight and while costs are one factor, most nations are winning to pay for the better performance because they know that little bit of difference can make or break a conflict.

When the Block III comes out, and when PAF/PAC and CAC want to go to the next Paris Air Show, they will need a full CGI marketing campaign like SAAB does. Technical information presented seamlessly in CGI with actual footage, and a nice musical score.
WS 19 or 13 ?
 
You must be living in a cave if you think "abhi tak khareeda nhi kisi ne".

NO, its same RD93. Using better fuel, have been discussed on the forum as well.
