FC-1 RC plane display in Germany. Thunder now has a global fan club

Indian Air Force becomes the first air force in human history, who displays pieces of enemy missiles as war trophies..:D Incompetent Air force

Your air force officer just claimed two pilots from f 16 bailing out... your propaganda machine was perhaps also hit in yesterday's strike....its allover the place

Blatant lies from indian officers.... F16 fell inside pakistan but AIM 120 fell in Rajauri which is 10 Km away from line of control... u have to be as idiot as Indians to trust this

Aurangzeb RA was himself a sufi and connected to chishti spiritual chain (same as Nizam ud Din RA). Shah Jahan wanted to transfer govt to his eldest son i.e Dara Shukuah who had his own version of Deen e Akbari... Auranzeb wanted to spend his life away from everything but he had to fight on the...

Lot of open ended & divergent discussion on the thread. One school of thought making it a "PAF vs IAF" thread while others insisting JF-17 is not designed to compete against SUs & Rafales etc. JF-17 may form 40-50% of entire PAF, meaning that great deal of tactics to be deployed by PAF, will...

Interesting way to rank modern fighters http://www.defense-aerospace.com/dae/articles/communiques/FighterCostFinalJuly06.pdf

Good Point. There are some obvious strategic advantages attached if we had gone for rafale: 1. Versatility in the PAF arsenal, IAF would have to develop tactics for a new platform 2. Push rafale out of MRCA 3. Avionics deal for JF-17 could have been saved. (everybody knows the significance)

Its been a while since hearing some good news about the thunders

Fat bellies to create extra room for installing lion's hearts in 'sherdills' :D

Hi Mr. Zeee. I personally believe this is a very positive development. Buying western equipment puts the PAF and its sister services at the mercy of sanctions. China is more reliable. Yes, Pakistan is very corrupt and it is in a sad state economically right now. As such, given these...

That mean end all hopes of western avionics/missiles for PAF. Thanks to our economic situation, international politics and our corruption

it is called helmet mounted display (HMD), very similar to HUD in functionality, but gives pilot better flexibility to lock the target. Any specialist may explain the difference

Probably, you are talking about HUD (Head up display). Just imagine all information of your car (speed, fuel, temperature etc) being projected at your wind screen so that you can have all this info without taking your eyes of the road. The purpose of HUD is to give pilot all info without taking...

This isnt because of DSI as f18 doesnt have DSI but the vapors are there. this is because of LERXs (small round shaped wing ahead of main wings). LERX produce these vapors (vortex) to generate extra lift and to improve angle of attack. You can google "lerx" to read more. Length of vapours...
