It might be a controversial take, but I still believe that Pakistan doesn't need to make such an investment which it can't hold for long. PAF is already procuring J-10Cs and has plans for indigenous JF-17 variant, why take on another new platform in such a haste? Do we have any deficiency in our...

Air Marshal Nambiar (retd) was the first IAF pilot to drop a laser-guided bomb on Tiger Hill, obliterating a Pakistani post. At the height of the Kargil war, 25 years ago, Indian Air Force Mirage 2000 jets, which were used to hit Pakistani posts, locked onto Pakistan Air Force F-16s and could...

The later, Likewise, Majid Khan, the cousin of Imran Khan, was also a pushtun and one of the best batsmen in the world but was also born and raised in Lahore. The real persona to Pushtun Cricket was brought by Shahid Afridi who was the one born and raised in FATA (Although he later moved to...

"Inspectors from the department foiled attempts to mix liquor with dettol to change its colour and con customers into thinking it was foreign liquor," said spokesman of anti-drug department in the eastern province, Col Salman Al-Nashwan. 😁😁😁😁 It was clearly not just targeted at just the Indian...

It might be contravesial, but for me there is only one definition of a Pakistani national. The one holding only the green passport. Geography doesn't matter.

I believe it all started after Shahid Afridi. He has been the icon of cricket in KP and responsible for a whole new generation of talent coming from KP.

Context: Report from exercises Flacon Strike 2015 WVR engaments: The JAS-39 performance was at its worst inside the within visual range (WVR) envelope. Over a two-day period, PLAAF pilots shot down 25 Gripens at a loss of only one Su-27. The Su-27 has an advantage over the performance of the...

Another simple answer could have been that we didn't have the sufficient SAM coverage to intercept the missile. The missile launch was tracked but with its speed and point of heading, but there was nothing in the area capable enough to intercept it. I'm 300% sure that had there been even a close...

Turkey is benefitting from the technical telant coming back and delivering but given the current economic situation in Turkey, I don't know how long they'll be able to keep up. Pakistanis never really thought of developing the necessary technical talent pool by enhancing mutual cooperation with...

The way things going, after 10-15 years, PAF=P(LA)AF. PAF is not even evaluating non-chinese platforms via competitive process. The credit based purchases of Chinese hardware are driving the competitive acquisitions out.

Not a lot of impressive hardware on display at Dubai. Somehow showing that either Jeff still cant exploit the full range of PL-15E (Which seems implausible since KLJ-7A AESA is also expected to the mainstay of upcoming J-35) or PL-15E is an exclusive offer for J-10C. Likewise for PL-10E offering...

I don't know why didn't they try implementing CFTs on JFT even in Block III. There aren't many hardpoints available and fuel tanks , in a strike role, take up to three of them, leaving not enough space for omnirole capabilities.

Lo Bhai logs, some sort of official confirmation bhee gaye hay. The race is still wide open.

I think it's not pointing to the trail, but the area (yellow one) which I guess was targeted to be cleared by the SEAD Operations using CM-400AKG, allowing the fighters to get close enough to the enemy AWACS for BVRAAMs Engagement. The missiles can be seen making mid course correction towards...

To me it looks like they're not targeting the SAMs but rather the AWACS using BVRAAMs.

JF-17s needs a more powerful engine and in the absence of European and American ones, the engine has to come from China. It's better for Pakistan to take an engine manufacturing facility with ToT from China as the force would be working with 200+ Chinese platforms in the future. PAF's J-10s are...

I got your point that HoBS has been a game changer. But the newer platforms also offer much better situation awareness to make use of this, alongside proper power. For example, Typhoon not only has HOBS, it also has a world class HMD and a competent enough sensors suit to allow the pilot with...

O Bhai, JF-17 already has integration with Aselpod and should also be able to deploy Turkish weaponry. Hurjet is a trainer and light attack, JF-17 is a full fledged fighter. Hurjet can't carry the kind of weaponry the JF-17 can because both are aircrafts with different purposes. If Turks would...

It appears that Chinese aren't out of the race yet. CATIC regional director for South America met the Argentinian Defence Minister last week to discuss the cooperation potential. Plus they just gave 6.5 Billion $s to Agrentinians a couple of days ago. I think this might be the reason that...

High off boresight missile is pretty standard on rather well powered aircrafts like Typhoon, Rafale and Eagle. But having a high off boresight missile at your wingtips don't undo the eternal rule of airial combat i.e. speed decides who lives and who dies. Even PAF's affiliated pages acknowledge...
