Just wondering why don’t we see many pictures of the Panther towed howitzer we got from Turkey

Airbus has just successfully tested the C-295 as a tanker. Alan Warnes retweeted an official Airbus video showing a successful drogue connection. May be PAF can look into this considering we already operate the shorter version for transport.

This is fake news. The Israelis have said that these aircraft will be repaired and put back in service soon.

Surprised that people assume Jordanian Vipers are not BVR capable. It’s no secret that the batch of Jordanian F-16s we have were initially Air National Guard units & were designed specifically for long range air to air missions with the ability to carry 6 AMRAAMs

Some of these JF-17Bs have MAWs as well. So it does appear they'll be used for strike role.

Any idea if the engine is the same or a more powerful powerplant has been added?

Were the other FACs not made in Pakistan?

Interesting article on USAF using the Sniper pod for air to air role. http://amp.timeinc.net/thedrive/the-war-zone/21081/the-usaf-has-quietly-added-large-multi-function-cockpit-displays-to-its-f-15c-fleet?source=dam

Issue has been resolved after Trump lifted sanctions on Turkey. Was discussed on this forum in detail a couple of weeks back.

You’re not going to appoint a Joint Chief from the smaller arms at a time when half a million Indian soldiers are deployed in Kashmir.

Thanks any details?

Naiza 125mm. Not sure if we developed or acquired any other DU shells apart from this.

Given that Jordanian ADFs are built to carry as many as 6 AMRAAMs they may be kept for air to air role and not just for training. Just my speculation..

I think the notification means that Jordan is getting various parts for 15 F-16s. Not 15 aircraft.

The Mig in Kargil was brought down by army air defense teams. The wreckage was often displayed at 6 September shows held in the Pindi Race Course/Polo Ground. I saw the wreckage and met one of the guys who shot it down on the 6 September show all those years ago. No idea where it is now.

The current mood in the US is simple: fund your items yourself. Had the US been unwilling, we wouldn't have logistics and engine support for our F-16s either. The latter was approved recently. The problem is whether PAF can arrange the requisite funds. The same issue has kept the AH-1Zs held up...

By ground designators do you mean Pakistan has the capability like US JTACs for target designation from the ground?

US has no issues selling anything to Pakistan as long as we pay from our pocket. The problem with getting used F-16s from outside the US is that we will need Congressional approval. That however, should not be too difficult if we can work out a way to get them upgraded from Lockheed which will...

US has no problems as long as we make the entire payment from our pockets.

US may approve if PAF opts for certain upgrades giving US companies some business.
