So I am right? No deliveries in 2022 and more HAL promises for 2023? First Tejas was delivered to IAF in 2016 and first Sqd stood up. In almost 5 years IAF has received 31 aircraft? Congratulations......

This post of yours literally proves my point you realise that? "HAL will try to deliver". Newsflash, they never did deliver the planes this year, but still 3 days left of 2022, am sure they will surprise us.....

You are having trouble reading my posts it seems so will address it as a simple question. How many Tejas were actually delivered to the IAF in 2022?

Sorry, you just posted a load of links that mean nothing regarding my point. Well done for wasting your time. "cabinet clears", "deal approved" "another test flight" etc does not put aircraft in the hands of the IAF right now. Truth of the matter is no new jets are currently being inducted or...

Raises some very good points. It gradually seems that despite significant financial resources IAF has got the worse of both worlds. Indiginous efforts have not kept up with demand and foreign imports cannot be purhcased in desired numbers. This forum was certain a follow on order for Rafales...

Love the Europeans, great money making deal for them

Never in my 46 years have I seen our Army so embaressed. Bajwa has been a real stain on a great institution. It will take years to repair the damage.

My guess is around 18 Jordanian MLUs, giving us an A/B/C/D fleet of 93 Vipers. Then we upgrade all of them to V standard and order another sqd of 18 new Vs giving us a total of 121 F-16Vs split into 7 combat Sqds plus CCS/Aggressors unit. Add that to say 4 J-10 units and 10 JF-17 units you are...

Chief in DC meeting Def Sec Austin. I think supply tap being slowly turned back on...

Saudi AF is actually conducting entire engineering batch at PAF Academy?

One or two does not give you a capability. We would need 4 minimum.

No contract for this has been signed. Juts like the Rafale follow on order has been "imminent" for the last 2 years. Best wait till things are confirmed,

Definately interesting and a good ITAR free option, and certainly if we are going with Brazilian MPA jets then why not transports, but a few opinions here 1) Is it worth investing on boom refueling tech as when these are delivered (assume what 3 yeas if we order tomorrow?), how many years will...

Netherlands-based shipbuilder Damen has disclosed further details of the vessels it is building for the Pakistan Navy, which are derived from the company's OPV 2600 design. The first of the two vessels, which are a follow-on order to the country's Yarmook-class patrol vessels, was laid down on...

No big deal, just usual sustainment and support you would expect for a fleet our size, it does however make a possible "V" buy more likely in the future of we think a $0.5Billion investment in the fleet is worth it. Imagine how many JF-17s or J-20Cs that could buy....
