Yes from that point of view you are right.

Are you serious sir? Anza is a MANPADS Short range system. And I believe Mistral MANPADS is already being used for short range defense or last ditch effort on board PN ships. China was building 2 per year until very recently!

thanks for the tag Bilal! Seems like a sound base is being put together to produce an a/c that can be a big help in bringing JFT definitive version if nothing else. We cant go wrong with this approach, it will pay dividends in the end.

with the designation of US Pacific Command as Indo Pacific Command....things are heating up in our little pond. In a standoff situation US will choke off the entry points to the Indian Ocean. China would not be able to enter Indian Ocean in large numbers to project force in this part of the...

Great news!

Terr. attack on one of PN warships

I don't think we will see AShM installed on any MSA ships, any time soon. Training of personnel, and keeping them up to date, missile handling, storage, and security are genuine issues for which standards can and do vary between branches of service depending upon their primary missions.. We...

So six active P3C's ?

MP was and still used by a lot of top line Special Forces units in CQB. So it was not a bad buy at all. However, as a section lead weapon it has little to offer and a 9 mm weapon was not suited for this role.

I think each operational airbase has no more than 2 SAR helos. most have 1. After a closer look both helos have some differences. In the first pic. notice the slight bulge underneath the pilot entry/exit door, the bulge over the rear wheel well, and the bulge under the roundel. All these...

in the past too. Puma, and Alloutte III

Northrop Grumman F-20 Tigershark....whose assembly line was to be shifted to Pakistan when we d ecided to but F-16 instead Does have some design elements/shape that resembles today's JF-17

Block III will have heavy use of composites and AESA radar, that is confirmed. Furthermore, the construction of the Block I was modular for ease of maintenance. This was a lesson learned from flying and maintaining the F-16 that was later on incorporated in JF-17 at design stage.

well.... if you say so....

Infact its facilities have been upgraded recently when it started hosting the K-Eagles (3).

Masroor is a nuclear weapons strike base. The base itself and its surrounding areas houses certain special handling facilities for nuclear weapons. The whole are area has become important after the construction of K2 & K3 power plants and it ancillary Fabrication Complex. So it wont be...

"Hunter/Killer" groups might be cold war jargon but what does a patrol group do......ward off evil spirits?? They patrol and if enemy detected, hunt and of possible kill the enemy. We can change the jargon but the tactics remain for most part the same. As far as multi tiered groups and using...

IMHO it is not. Western ships routinely do 30 knots. They have COGOG, CODAG, etc propulsion which generally give better response time at acceleration then CODAD. I believe Milgem will have CODAG; MTU Diesel and GE LM Gas Turbine. But the speed remain slow. In hunter killer composite group...

PN Classified Destroyer as cruisers, frigates as destroyers in the past. So would not be surprised if he is talking about the ADA. Type 54's would be build in China at a fast pace.
