Yes, Kaptaan my friend but I lived in America and other English speaking countries most of my youth. As for Pakistan, it is my reason for being here on PDF. It is a pretty unique nation and I have a lot of interest and affection for one-offs, weirdos, misfits & rebels ... ... let's say for...

If the AdlA only gets a couple airframes yes Hanni! But that's what the govt wants, it happens despite the AF brass preferring a minimum around 4-6 ACs. Frames produced is always tricky to follow but just remember two things : Trappier ( DA CEO ) said that 2018 would be the year of the Rafale a...

Small complement of information here : Dassault has been retooling for over 18 months so the line in 2018 can pop up to 2.2 acs/month. At that rhythm, starting in Summer, export orders would be fulfilled by 2021's end. What's more, this article as so many others mixes up deliveries and...

Yes but in an offensive and so very coordinated way. I was thinking of a defensive position with the boats deploying from say Sur to Lakhpat and with satcom links for target designation from force multipliers. With such a set-up, a couple Vidyut, frigates or Arnala wouldn't make it back and...

Actually Xenon, that is the case today. I'm sure that you differentiate between the French FP and that of Austria or Luxembourg. It is exactly what allows our president to talk about a "personalized deal" with yours even though as a Euro-leader he rejects full membership for the time being. But...

Merci Ezerdi for providing that listing! post # 2396 Point in case, Algeria is more upfront than most about the details of its forces' operations. Very honest! :tup: :tup: Bonjour chez vous, Tay.

I'm a fan of the Houbei and of swarm tactics myself but the Dehshat fits Pakistan's needs if they come in the appropriate amount of hulls. Good day AzadP, Tay.

@BHarwana Can you correct the miliTARTY in your OP title please? Just remove that unsightly latter T as it makes for a sort of pun laughing at PA. And while you're at it, please remove the extra C in exercises? Sorry for all the job, have a great day, Tay.

It's so simple really : General Dynamics wants to make money so they buy the best systems available. Kuwaiti Guards want to defend their land so they buy the best product available. Israel wants to make money too and in the electronic warfare systems, they are on top. Classic nowadays with...

I sort of realize that but not the way you phrased it. Demonstration purposes? Fine! Except that then the Arihant is a demonstration sub until fitted with the K-4 Then the test of that 3,5000 km successor happened supposedly reaching 3 000 km and another from the Arihant got done but only over...

So, considering the size of India and Asia, it's a very local weapon in any case, right? Something in the class of a policeman's club. Too bad we don't sell M-51.2s cuz' there's a market right there ... Oh well, good convo all, Tay.

Wow Ghazi mate, just wow! As an avid mountain biker, I must respect mountains I can't bike. That first pic of those un-rideable peaks is just plain awesome! :-) The rest looks like standard heaven. Thanks, Tay.

YVW my good mate! Merci d'avoir répondu en français, Tay.

No, they are not, mate! Wärtsilä France is a separate entity exactly for the reason of allowing export without problem. What's more, the engine tech comes from SACM, an Alsatian company they acquired and the tech covering the turbo is from Turbomeca now Safran. So the V8X-1500 is still...

R.I.P. sir! Good night, Tay.

No offense but how is that news? Who do they usually give science awards to? I'm not trolling China here but PR/journos because, honestly, that headline is dumber than a 4th grader! Heartfelt respect for acknowledging intellectuals! 祝你过一个好天, Tay.

Na, Georg! I can't answer but for the AMX-30 B2 that was the main tank when I served ( even though I was a different type of cavalry, we were formed on all types ). The AMX had a full 5 speeds transmission both ways that allowed the low 65 kph in either direction. It was derived from the...

623 is the total planned production as of 2018. It does not even fulfill earlier Tranche 3B goals. About 570 aircrafts having been produced today, the real order book is 50+ incl. Qatar's fighters. That goes to 2020 but then the F-35 is coming, at least for the UK and Italy and BAe announced...

Are you happy to see me or is that a submarine in your dockyard? I'd say that Soumira's view is a bit of a stretch ... but it grows on you? Must I poke further? ETC. 8-) Tay. :jester:

https://www.ttu.fr/rupture-isr-bss/ Condensed : The launch on December 17th 2017 of Algeria's first communication satellite is a game changer. As for its brother Paksat 1R, Alcomsat 1 is a Dong Fang Hong 4 derivative with a 588 kg payload good for 15 years and carrying 33 transponders in both...
