Any future conflict between India & Pakistan won't be just between us & them ?I've said it many times that Russia is going to Pakistan with full package, there is no India or Indian influence to stop it. Similarly, same for goes for the US, the UK, the French and all. They've learned from India that there is no loyalty, its pure business. Well, the business now includes an upcoming economy and futures top 15th most powerful country on the map, called Pakistan. All these big powers will now deal with Pakistan on her own basis. India can kick dust, scream, cry or jump up and down, it doesn't matter. The relationship has been de-hyphenated since last year!!!
You probably heard it from me as I've written about it a few times already, including yesterday and you are right, the work on the Sixth gen fighter and future Stealth advance B3 Bomber has also started. The flying terminator is coming......
I'd imagine by 2020 we'd be seeing prototypes and by 2025, flight testing and production would probably start.
Why is that? Mirage carries one Exocet. The JFT can carry two anti-ship missiles and even two BVR missiles and 2 WVR missiles (when more powerful engine is added). Currently is can carry 2 anti-ship and one BVR or two WVR missiles.
For Pakistan's coastal defense, you can fly the JFT on one fuel tank. If you get out by 50 KM from Karachi's short line, your anti-ships can lock on a target over 300 KM's away from Karachi. I think that's a huge area the JFT can cover. Ideally, you should have J-11D in numbers but SU-35 is also a great choice. I hope they get these in 60-80, but let's see.
first off, good news! Gives PAF more options!
secondly, you can't just say these are just "rumours", today's news isn't coming from a "source", it is directly coming from the deputy FM!
third; India will be sweating on this news & the fact that Moscow is coming closer to Islamabad
fourth; I don't think money will be an issue as our economy is getting better, & such deals are not done on up front cash basis lol people with zero economic background amuse me, specially these Indian kidsThese are long term defence deals! soft loans!
Now why India must be really worried? I've already said on PDF that Russia will become an important ally of Pakistan! why? Can India give access, to Russia, to warm waters? NO. Russia, & other central Asian states, will gain more from Pakistan! energy pipelines to India will go through Pakistan
but they didn't fire first? EFT can use AWACSs data link and fire well beyond 100 miles away, with MBDA Meteors and Mica combination. Its one of the best out there.
This is a feel good video, the AWACS and the EFT's were getting tracked
Similarly, the ship they showed, couldn't detect the incoming jets from like 300 miles away? Had no ship defense system, CIWS or anything else? What happened to the outer layer of AD? I am assuming the Russians tried to show a NATO ship as always but there is a combat air-cover that extends out to 300 miles. Not to mention in a CBG, there are over 35 ships with each one having multiple high power radars. So there should've been a volley of missiles fired at the SU, in this video, the SU's almost come head on with the ship, fire their munitions and right before their munitions hit, the ships fires two missiles. That's lame, what Navy was it? It wasn't NATO or the USN for sure...the Chinese or the Indian or the Bangladesh navy??
