Don’t know how many of you noticed but there does appear to be a bullet hole at the back of Gen Ranbir’s helicopter.

All ADF Vipers can fire BVRs. In fact they were designed for US air national guard units precisely for defense of US airspace & hence configured for multiple BVR missiles.

All ADF F-16s were designed for air defense by US national guards units. This required that all of them are capable of carrying 6 sparrows or AIM-120 AMRAAMs Jordan's Peace Falcon 1 ADFs that PAF now operates are no exception. By the way, PAF does have sparrows in it's inventory.

Thank you for your response. Is it possible, in theory, for these AESA radars on the ATRs to be used for aerial surveillance too though?

Don’t know whether you know what happened at Balakot or what your definition of “successful” is but you clearly don’t seem to have any idea. The only reason their jets “successfully” left Balakot with their tails between their legs is due to PAF interception. SOP’s developed by PAF are...

At the time, the Aim9X was still a fairly new concept with very limited operational use. There was no known bar on its purchase but PAF may have simply gone for a more established variant. The block 3 will make up for its lightweight through quantity. A pair of JF-17 Block 3s coming at you...

JF-17s don't need to carry drop tanks if they can connect with the tanker after taking off with a full load like US carrier jets often do. PAF designed the JF-17 to fulfill PAF's basic air defence requirements along with a stand off capability for anti-shipping etc. When we get overly critical...

Considering that there’s an AESA radar on board i am wondering if these ATRs will work as airborne warning systems for the PAF too..

JF-17 is more than capable of taking out a Sukhoi in both WVR and BVR modes.

Nice! Didn’t know PAF F-16s were configured for these chutes..or has the PAF done so locally?

No. It was briefly used for training but then put back in storage. Later transferred to PAF and upgraded in Turkey.

Mullah Baradar’s team’s here. Let’s see if there’s some progress. If there is then the gunships might start coming otherwise we’ll have to pay for the entire lot ourselves.

Seems more likely given that the PAF had given a detailed briefing to the PM with important cabinet members present at AHQ before his US trip.

India violated-among a whole host of other international legal norms-the Shimla accord which called for no further change to the status of either sides’ portion of Kashmir irrespective of the fact that neither side accepted each other’s claim. Technically therefore the LoC is now a ceasefire...

Any news about the C-130 that was recently involved in an accident during landing? Written of or being repaired?

Shouldn’t we be getting the first Type 54 and Hangor sub by the beginning of 2021?

PAF made people believe it was interested. It was actually evaluating those jets to see what features could be replicated in the JF-17. Shahid Latif in a recent Youtube interview explained how PAF had been able to get it’s hands on the likes of Gripen and Eurofighter by making them believe we...

Any idea when will we receive the first of the MILGEM, 54AP and Chinese subs?

Taiwan's order for 66 new Block 70s (along with other goodies) costs around $8 billion. I am guessing that even if Pakistan goes for 20-24 new jets it would take at least somewhere in the ballpark of $2 billion. So don't you think the rumours about an upgrade of the entire fleet are a little far...

I understand. Only asking because Block 70s won't come cheap especially if bought new & with PAF working on JF-17 and other projects it won't be easy to arrange funding if US doesn't support through CSF.
