    Capabilities of PAF Dassault MIRAGE-III/V.

    Someone is doing one to one replacement which makes no sense as x+3 or so number of M-III/V are needed to make sure one is available, not sure to the availability rate for F-7s in PAF service. With higher availability rate for JF-17s / J-10 the need drops for needed numbers.

    Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

    Seems to be standard 600 Gallon Drop tank, makes it as nimble as B-747 perhaps tad bit better.

    JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

    May want to look at the L-15 hinges, the type PAF should have gone with. As some one in PAF would say, Sir, "its a cheap aircraft."

    Mirages being turned into ew ac

    Question here was M-III being converted into escort Jammers, in that case JF-17s out classes it by miles. Yes, indeed E-1000 type jet would be perfect for PAF, heck imagine E-1000 type Jammer both in PAF and PN use ( wishful thinking though as PAF would never touch E-1000 as it has been selected...

    Mirages being turned into ew ac

    vs M-III / V ? in the EW specs the M-III wouldn't come anywhere close to JF-17 in range unless it receives multiple AARs. JF-17 with two inner wing tanks should be able to stay up for easy 90 odd mins if not more while M-III with no fuel tanks ( lack of hardpoints ) will be long bone dry without...

    Pakistan Army's VT-4 Main Battle Tank | Updates & Discussions

    Are we sure about that ? my understanding was that to produce further A-90Bs the steel had to be procured from France or elsewhere as Pak Steel couldn't make HY-80 or similar type. If they can now then awesome news.

    Pakistan - Turkey (PAC-TAI) Collaboration for NGFA-TFX 5th Gen Aircraft l Updates, News & Discussion

    Lessons of 71 says otherwise. Lessons of 2/27 say / repeat about the same as PAF along with IAF struggled in the end to keep up the sortie rate and IN Air Arm wasn't even involved.

    JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

    They did and a stealthy version too called the J-31. Off course they had to modify the tail, wings, main fuselage, nosecone etc to accommodate twin engines.

    Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions.

    Ok, I always thought that F-7PG with it's GRIFO Radar was an all weather Point Defense fighter, or the PG didn't get the Grifo Radar ?

    National Aerospace Science and Technology Park Launched

    It can still be great retirement home for them as long as they let the competent folks do their jobs, win win for all. it's the <beep> superiority complex that is the bane of most if not all the issues Pak faces.

    Turkish Deputy Minister of National Defence: "We will be discussing with our Pakistani counterparts to officially include Pakistan in our jet program"

    That looks like a fixed main landing gear, the wing layout would likely won't be able to stand the Mach 1 or higher speeds, the sonic boom will rip those wings apart. If that Main landing gear is fixed then the max speed is likely close to 150 - 180 Kn. PS: However, someone with aerospace...

    One man Raj, just like rest of the Pakistan, will Pakistan go the PakDef route ? I hope not.

    CPEC 2.0: full speed ahead

    Don't think they care, Nation Sold to the East or to the West, it don't matter much to them, at the end the Sheep just want to have food, Shelter and Clothing, rest don't matter. GHQ will always be able to negotiate DRIP at some cost not matter what, lucky today Pak has India to the East that...

    Mid life upgrade of Zulfiqar class frigates

    It requires long term thinking, something lacking at times in Pak case. Sadly for PN, they get short end of the stick most of the times and then end up with just bread crumbs when it comes to Military Inc funds. I do hope that this time they are able to pull 10 odd Sea Sultans platforms with as...

    Mid life upgrade of Zulfiqar class frigates

    I agree with you, Sea Sultan should have all if not most of these capabilities you have mentioned. PN has extensive experience with P-3C and the PN P-3C platform performs quite a few of the tasks that you have mentioned. It would be surprising that the PN doesn't opt to have all if not most of...

    Can Pakistan build one of these ww2 u boats or something better today? completely in house

    Most Likely could, Economic of Scales is the question here along with kickback issue as it's hard to convert Rupee into $ when it's $millions then to just get $ deposited into a foreign account directly.

    A letter to COAS Gen Asim Munir

    /Chuckle, This letter just endorses Military Inc ( Raja ) Raj, tell them to go back to Barracks where they belong, Guard the Frontiers and let Civis ( good or bad ) run the Government. HH with all his faults have called the Spade a Spade in this regards when it comes to Pak Military Inc (...

    Damn, where would the failed err I mean over looked upcoming retired Military Officers will go for their cushy posh jobs ? or will there be a clause that requires hiring of recently retired military personal ?

    How Akinci &MQ 9 fit into Indo Pak theatre?

    Pak Miliatry Hardware is usually / most of the time funded by $ earned by the Military Inc, Friendly Foreign Gov'ts or Foreign Military Aid. Ask MK about the $5 Billion PAF doled out by cancelling 18 F-16 C/D after 2005 Earthquake and what came of it '$.'
