Why Indians are trying to discard the theory that Hydrogen was not responsible for the initial explosion in the submarine. Answer is that Indians had insisted to use the Indian produced batteries in the sub, Indian produced "EXIDE" batteries were thus installed despite concerns and fears...

Well IN is quite and no news coming out. That points to something that they do not want to say anything more than it was damaged. They cannot hide the loss of 1st submarine but trying to hide the damage to the 2nd. I am not saying that the 2nd sub was burnt and sank. But I am quite confident in...

India has suffered a disaster. Loss of Sindhurakshak and more tragically the loss of precious human life during the peace time.For Indian Navy who calls it a dent in its efforts to build a respectable fleet of subs for its defence has really suffered a disaster. Its main and most modern sub is...

Very true. A very thoughtful post.

I must add my voice to that. AB, you have done a fantastic job by posting matured and informed posts. Thanks for your good work.

No this is not IRST. It is an optical pod

Totally agree. If a carrier version is developed, it will be China specific and will need a stronger engine. Chinese are capable of changing aircraft structure and are already developing new engines, much stronger than the RD-93. These new engines may be introduced in the naval version...

I value and very grateful for the sentiments shown.

You may call me crazy for dragging the Thunder in to PLA Navy carrier. Briefly,one of the simmering issue at present is how far J-10 can be improved and upgraded. J-10 is reaching a point where further upgrades may not be possible even though it is a great aircraft. JF-17 is not only...

Pilot role and data handling capability, various discreet sensors, data fusion and ability to transfer it to pilot's display using different images with use of different sensor etc. Hope this answers your question

All JF-17 are capable of flying at night

I doubt it. F-7Ps will need to go throuh major structural changes. But I do hear that there are major changes proposed for later models. I do not know if it is true but rumors are that in the future, there may be two models, one strictly for Pakistan and other for export. In addition, it is also...

Faruqi Saheb, Please forgive me for saying so but You really amaze me. You do not know what a Beidu sa is but ready to give your expert opinions on aircrafts and which ones will be better than other. I think you need to grow up. I do not know how old you are but you are coming across as a young...

Pakistan purchased 500 C5 version at 2007price . Pakistan paid a lesser price due to large for an overstocked inventory which was going to be replaced by C-7 and D version. It did get a very good deal because of the prevailing situation in AFPAK region at the time. It was a FMS sales and not a...

No, that was a typo. I have revised my post. Please read it again. Thanks No N version is different that the B. I cannot verify. It seems to be shrouded in mystery. I had heard that is has only 25km range but a maximum tange of 50 km with boosters. Cannot confirm but they did say that it was to...
