Yes, maybe cost but Z-20 looks like a big and expensive machine, it will bring yet ANOTHER helicopter type into Pakistan armed forces though.
I thought it may of been a good idea for all of PAF/PA/PN to standardize on the AW139 as their medium lift chopper but PN has thought otherwise....,
Well I guess I go with the press. Anyway, his real identity will be revealed soon, and the real sad thing is you can no longer be in denial about the hate your countrymen now export abroad....
The video is social media and not reliable, the reports in the press state Indian Hindu, and indeed a Indian national is on police custody. I do realise you are desperate to convince us otherwise, but truth is in last few years more and more Arabs are realising what exactly is going on with...
If anything I would say Russia/Ukraine scenario is giving IA some sleepless nights. If they go on the offensive with T-90/T-72s like Russia did in country side against well placed anti-tank teams (and Pak Army has invested heavily in heavy and light anti tank weapons), it shows these tanks will...
"“The restaurant manager in Bahrain, an Indian Hindu, refused entry to a hijab-wearing Muslim woman. Bahrain authority decided to close down the restaurant."

Again, your BS is laughable, Indonesia ordered tiny batches of SU-30s, as did Uganda and Belarus. Before asking people to "read up" maybe follow your own advice?
You still need gas, and if anything the price has gone up, so unsure what logic (if any) you are using here.
No orders of anything, even if you ordered tomorrow it would take 3 years, till then IAF continues to age with no new aircraft in the pipeline, we have been hearing about MRCA for 15...
Not really, Feb 27th proved that PAFG retains the upper hand, unless of course you have secret info that your father's friends, dog handler told you? Right now Pakistan's closest ally is considered a world leader in military AI/EW so I am going to call BS on your statement.
Let us see if they can afford it, right now LAC stand off is costing Indian forces massive amount in $$$ not to mention a lot of wear and tear on aircraft and equipment that would usually be facing Pakistan. They just cancelled US Predator drone order for lack of cash so be interesting to see...
Unsure if strategic bombers are required considering the relatively short distance in the sub-continent, may be more of a liability (trying to protect them) than an asset. IMRBMs and Cruise missiles should suffice. Evening maintaining a small fleet of bombers is very expensive. I agree, with the...
Straight from the horses (IAF ACM) mouth. Looks like major issues with SU-30 and MIG-29 fleets where some will start to be retired. This on top of the MIG-21 and Jaguar retirements is really serious for the IAF. 5 years from now a PAF bigger then the IAF!? :-)...
As far as I know the naval variant has not seen widespread operational service unlike the Wildcat. Yes, we will tailor it for our needs but that will cost time and money, the western choppers are ready right now to fit in with the MILGEMs.
Nothing would make me happier then seeing India go for the F-15. 36 planes please, to add to the 36 Rafales. IAF will end up with small fleets of MIG-29s, Rafales, Mirage 2000s, LCA and F-15s. Weapons, traning, logistics and infratructure needed for all of them. As a result you will get...
