Q&A Session With Sir Kaiser Tufail

[baqai]

A Q&A session which was posted around 6 hours back on YT, always a pleasure to hear this legend

 

[Dil Pakistan]

Sir KT has mentioned 23rd March 2021 as the date for JF-17 Block-III unveiling.

 

[Signalian]

Few points he mentioned.

1. JF-17 cockpit is comparable to raptor's.
2. PAF wants more F-16 after sanctions are over.
3. PN doesn't need a fighter squadron since PN pilots turn to PAF for training and logictics.
4. Mirage-III is one the fastest aircrafts out there.
5. No comment on PAF pilots training on QAF Rafale.
6. C-130 is enough for Pakistan's cargo transport coverage.
7. Funding issues will not let PAF procure J-10, focus is JF-17 induction to replace all Mirage and F-7 and hints that any new aircraft for PAF will be inducted after all F-7 and Mirage are replaced.
8. LCA is a failed delta design.
9. Turning rate of F-16 and JF-17 are almost same.
10. F-16, F-18, Gripen helped in designing JF-17 and importantly, operability of F-16 helped PAF extend life and logistics of Mirage and F-7 in PAF.
11. F-16 Block 52+ have the best range for strike missions.
12. Floggers are no good against F-16.
13. China has never stopped military hardware and spares for Pakistan.
14. F-16 + JF-17 are answer to Rafale.
15. PAF has about 110 JF-17 and require 150 more JF-17.
16. Chinese AESA will be as capable as western radar.
17. PAF pilots fly 180 hours per month.

Point No 3 disappointed in this thinking, but not much can change them, and I feel PN will suffer heavily do to this.

Point 15 why we’ve not asked the Chinese to ramp up production, so we can induct these on a large scale, or is this to blocks II and III as it’s evolving. Even the US quickly armed their Air Force and did later upgrades.

Point 16 I hope it’s true but how would be know as PAF never flow with AESA to say it will be as capable as Western.

This clearly shows that there is no j-10 in karachi.it means rumors related to new fighter jets are probably lies.

He is not a serving officer but a retired guy. Wait for Air Force to clear things.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Point#5: time to panic for the IAF for even with Rafaels it might be again like "I ALWAYS FAIL"...

He says Mig 21 has no problem shooting down a Mirage.....

I think he was comparing the F7 with the Mirage III

 

[-blitzkrieg-]

i dont know why he is being apologetic on the question@ 53:53 what if they become very friendly tomorrow towards muslims.would that nullify the reason for existence of Pakistan..
just tell them on face that indians themselves are different people among themselves..and therefore Pakistanis are also different people..
i dont know why even indians popup such unrelated retarded questions on such a focussed talk..

 

[-blitzkrieg-]

I think he was comparing the F7 with the Mirage III

actually i confused the Mirage 2000 with Mirage III
they werent explicit

 

[Dil Pakistan]

I didn't understand one point:

KT says F-7 and Mirages are on the way out, to be replaced JF-17......yet we have bought Egypt Mirages with HORUS upgrades
