Kindly go through the forum especially the JF-17 information pool thread before making sweeping statements like the ones highlighted above. Just an example, the F-16 block 60 of the UAEF, a legitimate 4.5 generation aircraft doesn't have canards, therefore (going by the logic cited), even the...

It was first rumored in June 2013 that a "full standard" variant (J-10C, K/JJ10C?) with enhanced 4th generation electronics including an AESA radar, which is finally available, and an improved glass cockpit was under development. The J-10C (K/JJ10C?) #201 prototype (later renumbered as #1051)...

Let me just quote one little snippet of information that many will find interesting. About the LCA Tejas " The first aircraft under the program was expected to be built by 1994. " HAL Tejas: Timelines, Capabilities, and Future The point being, lets not take the program timelines by the Indian...

A few pointers to consider: 1. Nothing is confirmed until we see the J-10 in Pakistani colors. We have had rumors regarding the J-10 that go back to the day we used to call it "FC-20" (almost 10 years ago) and it was rumored to be the more capable J-10B. 2. If let's say, the deal is done, will...

I'll take this news with a grain of salt, our politicians aren't exactly the best source of information as far military matters are concerned.

I don't know but is this the Indian attempt to preserve some national pride considering how its trolls have flooded the social media making content about how the LCA Tejas is so far ahead of the JF-17, only to see XYZ nations expressing interest in the JF-17 or placing orders ?

1. Just a recap, these are accepted by both sides. (1) IAF entering in to Pakistani airspace and dropping bombs. (26th) (2) PAF retaliating and going in to Indian controlled air space and dropping bombs (27th) (3) IAF loss of Mig-21 Bison. (27th) (4) IA loss of Mi-17 (fratricide) (27th) (5)...

Its getting embarrassing at this point. Giving an award to a pilot for a 'kill' when it has been categorically proven that no such kill was made by the IAF. 1. U.S. count shows no Pakistan F-16s shot down in Indian battle: report 2. Picture of all the missiles of the Mig-21 Bison shown intact...

I didn't know American engines, Israeli rarads/jammers/EW suites and not to mention weapons sourced from Russia/ Israel and the design inputs from France counts as 'Your Own' but whatever helps you sleep better. Indian chest thumping at its finest, you guys didn't participate in an airshow...

This is going to be a troll fest, but on the off chance you are actually trying to learn something, well -- here is an interesting fact -- Before the deal of the AMRAAMs in 2008, PAF actually had no declared BVR capability and was still able to deter the BVR capable, numerically and...

Correct, however my indication was the combo of Aim-9X along with the JHMCS. PAF operates the older versions of the AIM-9, not the AIM-9X. Another point that will most likely be overlooked in this discussion is the turn around time of the thunder. As far as sources of well reputed members have...

While many upgrades have already been mentioned regarding the block-III, it would be quite interesting to see the PL-10 & HMD combo aboard the BLK-III and its effectiveness in close, considering how PAF wasn't able to get the AIM-9X with the JHMCS on the block-52's. Add to that the more powerful...

1. The fact is that the Pakistani side never claimed the JFT to be an indigenous aircraft. It was our first go at a project and we were very clear about it being a joint venture, which it is. 2. On the other hand, it was the Indian narrative that the Tejas program is an indigenous program etc...

I have found this to be the trend with the Indian forces in general i.e. all the blame for failures is put on equipment/ technology and similarly all hopes and dreams are tied to equipment/technology. Pre-2019, SPYDER was an awesome air defence system from Israel, come 27th feb, the spyder was...

In my opinion, the M2k and MKI's with the rafales would've made for a better elephant walk. It would've certainly looked a lot better with MKI's and M2K's both being beautiful jets. However, as far as the intimidation factor goes ... its more or less imaginary considering what the PAF has...

The claim of the SU-30 MKI kill by the PAF and the F-16 kill by the IAF don't belong in the same stratosphere. 1. The Indian claim was that Wing Commander Abhinandan shot down the F-16. All of the missiles aboard the Mig-21 bison were found (none of them being fired) and were on display which...

Except the fact that the same aircraft violated an airspace controlled by you, bombed an area controlled by you, was part of the CAP mission against your aircrafts and went back with zero losses and following it, had no retaliation against it whatsoever. All that AFTER announcing that we would...

1. They don't have to explain anything. The JFT is currently in service with multiple airforces, where multiple countries have put their trust in the platform. That fact alone speaks for itself. 2. The same jet was one of the ones along with the PAF Mirages, which conducted the strikes near the...

Great point -- Explains why the LCA Tejas has completely replaced the Mig-21's in the IAF's inventory. :D

1. The claim of the IAF is bogus as PAF demonstrated that all missiles of the MIg-21 were found and the evidence is available that none of them were fired. 2. Analysts that heavily favor the Indian side (Christine Fair) also contest the same claim, not in some tweet mind you, In India, in front...
