A new capital should be created, somewhere broadly in the middle of the current 4 provinces. All provinces should be divided into smaller administrative units. Balochistan - Makran Coast, and 3-4 more pieces Sindh - 2 new provinces Punjab - 2-3 new provinces GB - new province AK- new province...

A sudden and massive Turkish attack would catch the Americans off-guard and destroy all strategic structures / resources. Trump in election year cannot afford to fight back.

People in Asia won't understand or appreciate the process that Elon Musk has revolutionized. But it is this key process - not whether his use of materials impresses you - that will ensure they have the upper hand. And will ensure our programs - whether a nuclear reactor, Azm, Al Khalid, Agosta...

Interesting analysis. My only bother is that JF-17 Block 3 production will most likely end by 2025. Between that and 2035 or 2047 - if PAC does not do any manufacturing, it will be idling a lot of production equipment, and losing a lot of its skilled personnel. Also, by then the early block...

If Bilal is right and a true 5th gen Pak project is pushed to 2040-50, then something else will need to be built after the JF-17 run ends. I think here a larger, stealthy single seat and low cost design fits in. Something like a big brother to the JF-17 like the Hornet - Superhornet. Unless...

They have the last and best Sparrows. The same ones used successfully in BVR by the US in GWI

I just posted an article but yes, I agree with you, reliability is more important with engines. Unfortunately I have no way to verify if they are as reliable as the RD-93s.

However, Liyang company did not abandon WS-13 in this regard, and continued to improve and increase the engine’s thrust. Liyang company believed that JF-17 Block-III fighters would undergo major changes, and will use new equipment such as source phased array radar and integrated electronic...

Instead of raw marble, perhaps Pakistan can focus on refined marble products, like tiles. Sell the finished product.

According to messiach, the CFT on the JF-17 is different from what we expect from the F-16 ones. You may want to check the CFT on the F*CK-1 of Taiwan. It has a CFT version whose images are bouncing around online. I posted it a few days ago too. Not on this device I am using just now.

According to Messiach, (check her posts) CFTs are no big deal and have already been designed some actually built. They are to be integrated on the block 3s.

Thanks. There are a few engine options now (unlike during the JF-17 development program). There is the WS-19 and the WS-15. You could have two of the first or a single WS-15. The latter is the more mature engine, I'd think, given its going into the J-20. Hui Tong on his site notes: "The latest...

Generally shields are not designed to take on full caliber weapons. However, during WWI, German soldiers used shields! These were specially designed heavy shields that could stop full caliber weapons.

You can see from these European posters that they want to support dictators over democratically elected governments in Muslim countries, when it suits them. And they don't have a conscience and don't care about reason and logic and humanity. In these circumstances, it is wonderful to see Turkey...

I think posters are misunderstanding. By CFT you are saving that 88% drag from the centerline drop tank.

Thanks for sharing, the aircraft looks stunning in the other picture. PAF likes its birds with a single engine and has no experience with delta canards. So, this may turn out to be relatively close in the end. This though suggests twin engines, which takes us to the other options - J-35...

I think the gap is 1 year - within this year either side has a chance to make changes. After one year with re-armament on both sides, a clash will be inconclusive. Pakistan is more vulnerable right now until the Chinese equipment arrive.

Brilliant post. Deserves a positive rating.

According to messiach Pakistan is working with one foreign partner, which is generally believed to be Chengdu. XXXXXX Interesting article: Project AZM A successor to the JF-17 program to provide an affordable lightweight modern fighter, Project AZM is likely to undercut the operational...

I think USMC uses stingers with their AH-1Zs I'm sure Pak would too.
