If I could find the Dawn paper from time long past then I would but alas I don't have it, here the great 'Nur Khan, RIP' wrote an article that PAF made a blunder by buying F-16s. He was of the opinion that if PAF hadn't bought F-16 then IAF wouldn't have gone on and purchased M2K and Mig-29...

BARQ is the Missile, I think you mean Burraq UCAV. First Flight Summer of 2009, when Pak needed UCAVs and no one was willing to sell one and in-house was still either design or conceptual phase. PS: As per another poster, I got a chuckle that a MALE can be designed at home. I am sure that if...

That is 2.2 lb, the avg cost of Cherries in US markets varies from as low as $2 on special deals to $6 / lb, that is in the New England Areas or North East USA. We are talking about Bing / Rainier class.

There are better alternatives. J-16 is not available so far, so why throw that as an example ? J-10 can't carry the load of JH-7 so again not a good example even though it is available to PAF. LRPM may not be able to carry the load of JH-7s and will be slower and far less nimble then the JH-7...

One should watch the movie 'Vice', it shows as to how things get played out in real world sometimes. I am not saying that this is the case here, just that the real world is a lot different to one you are likely used too. PS: Who is to say that this didn't happen without the blessing of IK ?

What better alternates that are available to PAF or the ones that PAF can afford ? I am no fan of JF-7s, I am of firm believer that time of its induction into PAF has long past gone, but am still interested to learn which platform can deliver what JH-7 could / can for PAF ?

Only makes sense if PAF / PAC piggy Backs off the AVIC, that is if AVIC has such a project in pipeline or in future. If it is just PAF / PAC then I am sorry, its going to be one very expensive VTOL ever built, if it gets built.

If 40% of JF-17 are grounded then IAF should feel very froggy, I guess it's leap time again, last time they leaped they got bit.h slapped.

Spot on Sir.

Thank you, duly noted

"Shahid Khaqan Abbasi", wasn't he used to be in the PAF ? F-16 Pilot or something ?

Looks like KSEW done a good job, like ADA class perhaps.

No SeaHawk as the name has been taken by SH-60 long time ago and are in service with IN.

Sorry, Akula IN has is / are SSN, not SSBN ( Typhoon class. )

I was going by the posted article: Please see the below, paragraph taken from initial post. I will highlight the sentence that prompted my response. Sorry if my comprehension is not at the same level as others, in that cause my sincere apologize in advance. === "Comparison of strike range In...

Stopped reading after the strike range :) oh joy, only if F-16 could truly strike at range of over 4K KM.

Above in response to question by: Tair-Lahoti said: Is PL-15 shorter than pl-12? ====== Deino, Wording of this post is the cause of confusion, I read this as that PL-15 is the export designation of PL-12, while your post afterwords says the SD-10 is the export designation of PL-12. PS: I do...

055 for sale yet ? PN may go for the 055 in future and we are talking about a decade or so from now. PN is adding quite a bit and it will take time to absorb all that and train enough manpower to operate them properly. Rest will likely depend upon funds and more so on Geo-Politics of surrounding...

PAF will sell them for scraps and then they will be turned into Razor Blades. In near future when you are shaving ( if you shave, that is,) you can wonder if it was made from one of the PAF F-16s. That Titanium is good for Razors /wink

Airbus stopped converting A310's in favour of A330's. In what sense of the world is the A330 an "older plane"? A330 is favored over A310, not that A330 is old. You can have Ukraine do the Hose conversion, yes for Drogue you need Airbus / IAI / US. With CFTs on F-16 the need for Drogue goes...
