Bro can you clear this issue.

But there was one article which does make alot of sense , its not the machine mate which gets tired its the human within it actually .

Engagement of 5 mins in real combat surely can drain down enough energies from the pilot that he/she need to come back ..

Well Leviza that a fact indeed and its not always machine but the man behind it.

IFR isn't a big priority bhai jaan.

JF-17s role is ADA (which means to intercept enemy jets as they enter Pakistan's border).

So much fuel you need for that? From forward bases to edge of our airspace---JF-17's will need 10mins maximum--and then engagements will last, 30 mins or 40 mins MAXIMUM, with most engagements lasting 15 mins on average.

So JF-17 would have enough fuel to fly, fight, complete its role, come back and land safely.

At the very minimum, JF-17 carries fuel to flying 45 minutes to an hour per sortie. For ADA role in a small country like Pak--this is sufficient.

Hi,

One hour flying time is not sufficient specially when it is a small country----.

The same thing will happen as it did in the Ramazan war in 1973----.

The fuel should be enough for the time minus 15 minutes the oxygen supply lasts in the aircraft ----ie around 3 hours---.
