It's all about tactics that play to your advantage. The meteor has a clear advantage at low to mid altitudes. In order to realize this advantage, the enemy will try its level best to force you into a low altitude situation.
Let us review an incident from Kargil debacle when PAF Vipers were...
But we should also not get wowed by marketing gimmickry. Let us ask the question: is the meteor at a disadvantage because of using atmospheric oxygen? What would be its performance at 55K ft and beyond? Are the claims of its performance valid at all altitudes? These are questions you won't find...
So here is how many missiles increase range. They take an upward trajectory initially, and then use gliding to increase range. They then use gravity to increase speed as well. As you increase altitude, air becomes rarified, resulting in less oxygen available for combustion. Which is why missiles...
Let's be clear. Having no interest in political intrigue and having no trust from Imran Khan are badges of honor for this man. As for not having a plan and not being prepared in advance - you have to provide proof that Imran Khan made his unreasonable promises on Umar's advice. Did Umar propose...
JF stalwarts have usually been limited to AVM/AM positions, no? And that's because that is where they can contribute best. An ACM has a lot more on his plate than JF.
And you are thinking too narrowly. How about a transport flying over Persian Gulf/Arabian Gulf or Afghanistan targeting mainland India with standoff weapons? Take a look at these use cases:
And just to show that these use cases aren't outside the realm of possibility, here are some ranges...
May I invite everyone's attention towards this? @MH.Yang in Chinese technical jargon, is there a difference between max range and maximum attack range?
OP has asked a completely wrong question. Instead of asking whether we need to replace C-130s, we need to ask "Do we need to supplant C-130s?" And the answer is yes. We have a need to drop heavy ordnances in large numbers from a long range against enemy troops, equipment, and ships. There are...
My feelings are better than your feelings :D
Jokes aside, where possible international intrigue is involved, everyone goes by feeling, because no one has the ability to peer into another's heart. We can only look at actions and get a feel for the situation. And actions give a damning picture of...
So here is something to ponder on. Every single PTI fanboy on this thread talking about 'temporary pain', 'policy needing time to show result', blah blah has no clue about economics and monetary or fiscal policy. I have already shown how Imran Khan is an agent of IMF, working to keep Pakistan...
Whereas, if you consider the alternate point of view, UK authorities only started investigation when certain transactions were flagged as suspicious from Pakistan. This indicates that the government is trying to do a cover up on its own incompetence.
Now think for a moment. What if, in the next...
Excuse me, PTI followers have been cheerleading a traitorous regime as it systematically destroys Pakistan's vested interests by following orders from foreign masters. And then you have the temerity to tell me I am taking enjoyment? I am simply showing everyone the black face of Imran Khan.
