Sorry I was away for a while, is it evidentially sound to say that PAC is looking at the F-23's design? I thought it was someone's dream... the last dream I had about war, I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he spoke to me - and a war was about to start - and I was in his army... although...

Instead of how old the platform is, if we look at the role that it is trying to fill the answer comes differently. If we are talking about slow moving aircraft - a helicopter is slower than an AN-2. So, logic would suggest the best way to approach the problem is neither with the date of the...

In the Punjab, there are many defensive barriers and natural barriers. It is hard for both sides to penetrate each other. In the north, the mountains make attack difficult. And the desert of Sindh is not like North Africa - they are impassable tracts that make movement extremely difficult...

The campaign so far seems a complete rehash of the Afrin op. Going exactly as before.

In my experience, as a defense contractor, there can be no generalization against or for chinese weapons. Completely depends on what weapons - manufacturer, etc. US weapons however are (very generally speaking), the best in the world. Not from a cost perspective, but effectiveness perspective...

I really like your idea of a mini-f-23. I personally would love such a stealth aircraft. However, my "dream" would be for a single engine - WS-15 equiped design rather than a twin engine. Costs / less complexity / lower maintenance / rapid operational turnover / etc make that more sensible for...

Landing will be a big issue for drone conversion. Mirages are difficult to land. I think the idea of a loyal wingman though, is a good one. There are many possibilities for a futuristic composite squadron structure: 1. Squadron size could be "reduced" to 16 aircraft per squadron, with 4...

Zarvan bro, are you sure about this? Given past history, not sure you want to get burnt again...

Apparently Greece and France are supporting Armenia, even sending men and materials, or so I hear from twitter.

Armenia not only ethnically cleansed NK of Azeris, they also took large number of Azeri territory outside NK - greater in territory than NK itself. These territories were also ethnically cleansed. There are a bit more than 800,000 refugees that are looking to return to their homes.

So, this is my speculation that the subs from China will include 2 SSBNs built loosely on the basis of the same platform. I would imagine they will be armed with something at least with 4000 km range.

I think a Pak private company could do a much better job than the government run programs of India... 6.8mm is the caliber of the future and being selected for the US next generation caliber. Although Pak should be brave enough to adopt a round even if the US didn't do it first - the mindset of...

Low cost, scalable solutions can be game changers, because they touch on the heart of the Pak/India dilemma - an over abundance of infantry and an overall severe underwhelmed armour situation. Here are some more ideas on mechanized / motorized improvements: 1. A tactical harpy-style drone...

FCS has nothing to do with AMRAAM firing ability. That probably shows you aren't quite sure about what you are talking about. Anyways, people can have differing opinions. My view is that the news of PAF F-16s not being able to fire AMRAAMs was released by the PAF. They could have simply left it...

The fact that the news came out that the ADF are unable to fire the AMRAAM, means exactly that they can fire them - as if they couldn't, it would have been kept as a state secret. It is not a big deal, just a software update. I remember during the sanction years Pak had hacked the F-16's FCS...

The idea of a UAV carrier is something I've been floating for a few years now. It is an intriguing idea - it would allow Pakistan to have a force projection capability at a very limited cost. The prestige of being able to launch a carrier to defend a gulf ally would give Pakistan a strong...

CH-4 or something similar would most likely be for shore based usage and not for a UAV carrier or a frigate launched UAV. They will provide an excellent recon and surveillance asset for the PN, as well as limited combat utility.

The easiest path for PAF - hinges or not - civilian oversight or not - is to give the block III avionics a marginal update and a new "somewhat 5th gen" body, use WS-10 / 15 engines and call it a day. Add a laser and call it 5.5. Evolution is a lot cheaper than revolution. JF-17 could evolve...
