That's not sure but what's certain is that there will be a J-10D with WS-10B3 engine. (Don't ask what's specifications of this engine, I only know this much from CMA blog.)
1. A simple update like one we did back in 2018-19 about completion of first cycle of preliminary design phase. According to that update, 3 more such cycles were to be performed. Just an update if we are on 2nd or 3rd or final cycle. No one asking for giving out the details of changes made in...
1. No new update
2. Multiple design images released in various videos hinting that PAF is intended to get it but still no design finalization like it was in 2017-18.
3. Rumors that Stealth fighter part of Azm is already abandoned in fav of a collaborative project with TAI.
4. Lack of required...
Sir if you think there are 2 physical motors in dual pulse motor missile. You have absolutely no idea what dual pulse motor is.
It's basically a technique to avoid expensive and complex stage separation mechanism which will have to be there in case of 2 physical motors. Instead, dual pulse...
So, basically, we are standing right there where we were 5 years ago when we first learned about completion of first phase of preliminary design study in 2017-18,
In his speech, PAF chief thanked Army Chief for his support. I am not sure what sort of support that could be, but I think it's related to fiscal management of defense budget so that space for J-10C induction on emergency basis can be completed. Agreement was signed on 25th June 2021 (after...
To be honest, these CGIs are just statement of intent. PAF is pursuing a 5th gen aircraft program but whatever they are showing is just CGIs. Actually thing may be very different.
Pakistan needs to make the intent clear. This incident is not something that must be gone unanswered. India since 2019, has been trying to establish a new normal in the region. The concept of limited war under the nuclear overhang has been diluted in JDAIF 2017 and LWD 2018 doctrines to limited...
Many people are asking Where is Azm now. Let me say once more what I have said earlier in some other thread.
Pakistan's timeline for inducting a 5th generation fighter jet has nothing to do with Azm or TFX. It all depends on when India decides to disrupt the balance of power and inject new...
A rare commodity. A post full of strategic thought and wisdom. My views on your views
1. I fully endorse what you wrote there.
2. I think many people are picking one question PM asks in public about West's view on Pakistan and its policies and are completely ignoring other sentences of the same...
Spot on!
Actually it's not Pakistan taking sides this time, it's US/West's policies which are pushing Pakistan in opposite camp ... calling it camp is not appropriate as in 21st century US and China are the biggest trading partners of each other. Neither can survive economically without each...
