Coincidence head of US 5th Fleet in Karachi at same time as Iranian general?

This complicates Indian planning greatly, even at a 250km range it means all stand off weapons bar Bhramos (of which they only have a few capable aircraft to fire it) will be out ranged. Even Brahmos will have to be fired at extreme ranges. Further it provides a 250km air defence umbrella around...

Typical Pak Armed forces, Indians been talking about S-400 for 10 years, not inducted yet. Total silence from Pakistan and the first thing you see is induction ceremony. 14th October 2021, another "surprise day".....

HQ-9P has arrived.

Can the C-17 lift a Arjun? Has it even been tested?

No way will you induct 80-100 Tejas in 3-4 year period. Maybe over 10 years. In short term this means a 10% reduction in IAF Sqd numbers.

That really is an oversimplification. Iraqi F-16s had no decent BVR and the fleet is virtually grounded due to lack of US support. What Pakistan is offering is a less sophiisticated and simple jet but with a decent weapons package, sanction proof and plenty of support from PAF/PAC. That alone...

Unsure they already know the ins and outs of the future AESA and the PL-15, or what makes you so certain

I do not want to comment on how accurate the reports are, but IF and it may be a big IF, but if Argies and Iraqis sign on the dotted line I believe we may have matched or almost matched the Gripen in the number of foreign users in around half the time frame of being in service. That would...

Embaressing that is one of the first thoughts that came into your head, I would delete this post. Phased out and replaced with French chopper now

Unsure how or why you derail otherwise interesting threads on PDF.

Indian Chopper down, 2 dead.

The above points I put shows it is important PN has a working relationship with the USN, visits are part of that, if your blind ignorance makes you unable top see that, then it's your problem, not mine

Excuse me but this is a really ignorant post. 1) PN still operate US equipment and will needs spare/replenishment (Harpoon, P-3C, OHP_ 2) US maintains a massive fleet very near Pakistan and Pakistan is a regular partner (and infact commander of) s CTF-150 and CTF-151 with PN staff stationed at...

Correct me if I am wrong but PAF and PA did indeed had an older more classic style of No2 dress (with tie and standard collar) but Zia phased them out, PN kept their for some reason

As per the report it says non will be returned to flying condition. Unsure how or even why you make up things

Z-9 makes no sense at all, we would have to reconfigure the chopper into something totally new to integrate it with systems and weapons on MILGEM

Smart move to get their hands on these. M2K spares are going to become a tough issue for India soon, as they did not make this plane in India, spares will need to be sourced from France, Qatar is retiring the plane as is Egypt leaving only Greece, Tawan, UAE and India as operators. 24 spares...

Not negative at all my firned, realistic, but it would still be a great acheivement, if Pak even contributes 25% of a pure 5th/6th Gen fighter, that is 25% more 5th/6th Gen tech then countries like Malaysia, India or Russia....

No nation outside US and China are building a true 5th/6th gen aircraft on their own (I do not count the Russian offering as up to scratch) UK is teaming up with Sweden and Italy and Germany is teaming up with France, even Korean and Turkish offerings are not true fully comparable to F-35. Even...
