No not Iran, Iran's a friend of India. You think who it is? Hint: enemy of India that sent its airforce pilots to fight Israel and later Israel wanted to destroy its reactor just like Iraq's.
65 was during Shah's time and it is a fact that Iran after the revolution can not be called as friendly as other muslim nations like Turkey could be called. It is also very clear that Iran is more friendly to India then it is to Pakistan. You have a point that we already have too many enemies...
A good news, better late than never however its time that we get rid of this being late habit and induct some big guns in quick secession. I have said this earlier in another thread as well that in a future war all three armed forces would have to fight as one team. It wont be something like...
The question is whether what is said would be done or face the same ending as being predicted? i.e. cancelled due to lack of funds. A lots of work needs to be done to strengthen the PN, in comparison to PAF and PA PN is the weakest link in Pakistan armed forces, like its said the team is as...
Something is wrong that page is not showing correct figures. PAF operates 76 F-16, they got

Yes I know all the IN ships are in Indian Ocean what you didn't understand was I am asking all the navy ships will be deployed on your eastern coast to blockade Pakistan and leaving your western coast defenseless? India geographically can't defend its eastern and western coast simultaneously. If...
Few frigates, yet to be designed sub and subs that are yet to arrive all will be used against IN but can you say that two dozen destroyers and frigates, nuclear submarines and 2 aircraft carriers all will be used against PN?

The route will save days, 45 days journey would be reduced to 10-12 days. Time is money so it automatically becomes economical for China. Moreover the second point is that with the current oil route USA with the help of India and Indonesia. If the route is taken from India to China that would...
That could happen, and if the relations with Russia are improving then we should stress on having an air exercise with Russian Air Force. If that happens and JF-17 performs good against a Russian jet flown by Russia pilot then not only Sudanese but a lot more countries would show interest in...
Well I personally don't want to see the 2 nuclear states fight and if they do USA would be the victor.
Indo-Pak war of 71 brought Bangladesh on world map Indo-Sino war could change the world map as well and I am not talking about Akhand Bharat.
PAF won't stop buying F-16 that's for sure, as most members here say its the first love of PAF that can't be forgotten so easily. When USAF would replace its F-16s with F-35 that would open a new chapter in PAF and F-16 romance as then many F-16 would be available not only from USA but Europe as...
You have got the idea of JF-17 whole wrong. JF-17 was not developed to match each and every fighter in the world it was built as per the requirements of PAF.
First goal was to get something of our own that is sanction free and very much affordable. (Achieved)
Second was to improve it. (Achieved...
No i don't think Sudan has Russian pilots.
Here again the matter would be:
1) Would Russians allow their Mig-29 to be used against our JFT?
2) Even if they do do you think Sudan will be willing to exercise with us?
3) Do Sudanese pilots posses skills comparable to IAF pilots? because if not we...
No one can buy F-22. US Congress has banned the export of F-22 to anyone even Israel, Japan showed interest and was refused. F-22 assembly lines have been shut.
It not just radar that decides whether you buy a jet or not. J-10 is not bad its one of the best. The thing is we have F-16 since a...
They always have and looks like they always will spend a large portion of their GDP. They are one of the largest importers of arms and have held the position for quite a time now.
Ok its defence budget is $136 billion so? US has more than 5 times the budget that China has. China's GDP (nominal) is $11.212 trillion where as India's is $2.308 trillion if we keep this in mind then China budget should be some where near $200 billion.
OK I understand China is becoming a threat...
