JF-17 Block III hasn't even been offered yet, so any comparisons at this stage is a moot point.

There is nothing to suggest that only rocket-assisted projectiles can achieve ranges of 53 km. As I've stated before, certain shells like the WS-35 can achieve ranges of 100 km; it depends on the specific model of the ammunition used, and since the older PLZ45 can achieve 39 km with base-bleed...

Please provide a quote or link stating that the OFB MGS can achieve its range of 42 km using standard ammunition. The older PLZ45 (based on the AH1 towed howitzer) can already achieve 39 km using ERFB-HE-BB ammunition, so there is no reason to think that a newer system will have significantly...

If production is to commence in late 2019, then prototype & first flight would have to be in early-mid 2019 at the very latest, which is in accordance with what @Dazzler has stated in recent weeks. This will provide the PAF with its first AESA-equipped fighter platform and also a competitor to...

Range is 53 km, according to ArmyRecognition. This is not counting the potential adoption of advanced shells like the WS-35 that have a range of 100 km.

Wait for an official announcement, as many so-called "military analysts" aren't quite the weathermen in this.

4-6 rounds/min according to ArmyRecognition. SH15 has a 52-caliber barrel.

And this is according to whom, the government or whoever it allows to have their views expressed? What about the numerous first-hand reports of torture and punishment-sans-trial at these so-called "vocational centers"?

As I've stated before, these overly-punitive measures are not only morally bankrupt but also ineffective at curbing the root of terrorism (instead, these give actual terrorists justification for their actions). The US should enact sanctions against the individuals who brought about these...

A very cherry-picked analysis; just because X and Y have a mutual Z does not mean X and Y are suddenly toe-to-toe with each other, especially when the author overlooks the additional sensors aboard the F-35 that provides additional situational awareness such as DAS.

"Helicopter" literally translates to "vertical-ascending flying machine" in Chinese, and therefore the "Z" in Z-10 refers to "Vertical" (or "straight").

Explain in technical detail which parts of the Gripen E is "better" than the J-10 (which variant of the latter are you talking about). I can just as easily claim that the JF-17 Blk III is "much better than the Rafale in many respects" if evidence wasn't required to corroborate that statement.

And yet this is an individual who founded his wealth upon the principles of capitalism and free markets. The irony.

Too redundant with the proposed capabilities of the JF-17 Block III, the first of which should be rolling out in the coming months.

Uncertain, but more likely in Pakistan since the system would need to face the climate and terrain of the region during its trials. There is also a photo of the SH15 being prepared for the IDEAS 2018 exhibition in Pakistan.

SH-15 howitzer (export version of PCL181) being trialled by the Pakistani Army.

I think it's Photoshopped; the reflection of light off the aircraft doesn't match with that of the desert below. The planes also looked somewhat cropped / unnatural.

Every country should follow suit.

Every single president in US history has maintained somewhat-cordial relations with the Saudis, as it is a major influencer of global oil prices and a hedge against growing Iranian influence in the region. This has nothing to do with Trump's administration and everything to do with balancing...
