I think we not only need anti tank missiles that are ground launched but we need a potent platform in skies as well that can work in anti tank role. What I mean is we need something like Mi-28 or AH-1Z.
China is working on the powerplant, if everything goes as per their plan soon we'll see WS-13 powering both JF-17 and J-31.
If you think so then you should read about Sino-Pak relations, there is a reason why people call Pakistan China's Israel.
Keeping in mind that Pakistanis allowed the...
If we are getting JF-17 Blk 3 by the end of this decade and J-31 in sufficient numbers,we don't need J-10B that desperately. I am not saying J-10B is useless for us but the amount saved can be used in other ways that would benefit us more.
China is reluctant to give J-20 like USA does not export F-22 to anyone, however J-31 was meant to attract export customers. However when you talk about Pakistan and their relations and the fact that a strong and stable Pakistan is vital for China they might make the exception. However the...
USA would not have asked for Indian bases. The sole purpose of India from day one was to disintegrate Pakistan, they would have urged India to wage a war against Pakistan and given guarantee that USA wont interfere. So an Indian attack backed by Soviets would have meant Pakistan would have been...
What I have understood is that you are questioning the possibility if we had refused US our bases? Well in that case USA would have somehow pull India in and then using India as a base attacked us and support mujahideen simultaneously. Well this is what I think you may disagree.
It is wise if they are offering 3 engines but out of those 3 only 1 exists. I don't doubt Turkey's capabilities but making jet engines isn't as easy as it may sound even China is struggling despite the resources and expertise it has, in a thread here I have read that the reason they are...
2 super powers fighting on our soil you imagine yourself what would be happening. USA used Pakistan to launch an attack on Talibans, they only used our routes and few bases and the results we are seeing till this day. When USA is getting ready to leave we are cleaning the mess they created. USA...
No way we would have survived, USA was so serious about defeating USSR through Afghan Mujahideens that they offered us F-16 which was the tip of their spear at that time. Even if USSR would have come close to defeating the Mujahideens USA would somehow have found a reason to jump in directly and...
So you are saying that Russians wont raise an issue if J-31 powered by RD-93 is sold to Pakistan? Moreover I have even read that the reason why PAF has delayed the purchase of J-10B is because Russian don't want their engines in Pakistan's hands, may be due to Indian pressure.
Well at the moment everyone knows that Pakistan neither has the budget nor the technology to built a 5th generation aircraft so they'll be more than happy if they are able to get their hands on a 5th gen aircraft in a couple of decades.
Well its high time now and Indian should understand that Pakistan is very serious regarding this corridor and if India tries to mess PCEC this thing has the potential to start a war. And the attitude Pakistani armed forces have shown when they straight forwardly pointed out RAW's involvement...
If China fails to develop WS-13 and continues to use RD-93 like JF-17, will Russians allow the sales of jets that use their engines and compete with Russian jets in the market?
Finally something sensible, leaving Rafale would mean LCA will not get the attention it requires. However if we look at the 42 sqdr requirement then Rafale is the ideal choice since LCAs would need time to be built.
It is a twin engine fighter, in jan 2015 Aselsan announced that they have signed a deal with eurojet and TFX will use a derivative of EJ200(engine currently used in Eurofighter). With the use of EJ200 Turkey intends to give TFX supercruise capability just like Eurofighter. Moreover ASELSAN is...
