Breaking formation

Unlike HAL, PAC navigates through the projects intelligently. The figure of 10-15 years you just gave out depicts your own experience with LCA. Heck, it is even more modest since LCA took well above 3 decades. That's a life time of a regular fighter aircraft. Lucky for us, we have 2 different...

I didn't get a chance to speak to anyone about the rationale for the serial no's. However, my best guess is, the dual seater F-16 Bllock 15s have a serial number starting from '6' ie. 92622. We might have as well adopted this series from there. Sometimes, such decisions are not clinical as...

I have a distaste for alarmists and unfounded good news. :D

It is a test aircraft and still stationed at CAC. Prototype 1 tests flight envelope whole prototype 2 is used for weapons integration and auxiliary systems test.

Highly unlikely. There is a reason why mission capability rates of PAF F-16s are above average. It means good maintenance, careful flying and fewer experiments. Not possible. Engineering mishaps happen. But in 99% of the times, they are hidden Such as hydraulic leaks leading to...

I'm afraid this is neither a PAF bird nor is this Qadri AFB. This is a HAF F-16 Block 30.

Erieye is the radar system which includes radome and associated electronics. You can mount it on an A320 and call it A320 Erieye.

Neat Jf-17s

F-16C Block 52 without CFT's in a dive bombing action.

PAF's Il-76 at Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshal Airport on May 18th, 2020.

So many Indians patting their backs. Mesmerizing.

Over skies of Fairford, England.

Interesting. I'd like the title of Defense Minister if you please.

A painting depicting 1 x JF-17 and 2 x F-16s from 9 and 19 sqn armed to the teeth with BVRs and WVRs.

Absolutely. Like they say. Those who know, know.

PAF has 2 passenger versions. One delivered earlier as part of 2006 deal (4 combat + 1 Passenger) and another one part of the newer deal (2 combat + 1 passenger) Here is the latest passenger one.

7th is yet to be received. This is the 6th one. Hence none of my statements are incorrect.

Quite alot to the airframe. Thankfully, the radar sets were saved on all 3 with a little damage. There is no difference between JF-17 - Erieye and F-16. - Erieye datalink performance. Erieye's talk directly with the assets. There are no ground based mission controllers involved when AWACS is...

Alright folks, I've been reading a few things about PAF having 7 Erieye's after this addition. It's not true. Here is the breakdown. PAF's Ereieye fleet 3 Survived from 2006 Order 2 of 3 Acquired from 2017 order. The remaining one is a passenger version. It is still flying without the radar...
