You should be ashamed for making a baseless accusation. When word came of Pakistan's assault rifle program on this forum, I didn't publish a thing about it on my website until ISPR leaked the footage. When people on this forum were learning about Pakistan's interest in the T-129 and Mi-28NE, I...

So a new ALCM is there as a further out need, something that isn't a priority today, but as an issue has been accounted for and will be addressed when necessary.

I was referring to the nuclear strike package too - Ra'ad is integral for that. Basically what I am now reading is that standoff strategic element sits with the 50+ year old Mirages of ours. What happens when they're gone? We either find another platform that could carry the Ra'ad, create a...

CH-5 hasn't been cleared for export, CASCs waiting for the Chinese government.

So ... we would basically have to secure or design an ALCM around the JF-17's weight and clearance limitations? And this is not something on the roadmap because we will use the Mirages for strategic LACM strikes, but use JF-17 for conventional stand-off range attacks via PGBs? In the case the...

Definitely.

Kuwait agreed to pay around $9bn U.S. for 28 Eurofighter Typhoons. Granted, the batch they're getting are going to be equipped with a new AESA radar, and they may be picking up a hefty support package along with it too. But with all that aside, can we expect anything less than $10 billion U.S...

1. I don't know 2. I am stating the facts as they are: the PAF prefers working with CASC on drones as opposed to CAIG. This is why there is a higher chance of the PAF selecting the CH-4B over Wing Loong 2. 3. They're direct competitors, similar.

This is what Zarvan wrote on my Facebook wall in January (I edited out his picture and last name). I could disagree with someone, but I wouldn't make fun of them for it, even if they are wrong. Might make an exception for a really stupid case, but that's rare. If I recall correctly, it was...

Not yet cleared for export.

Profit is the money PAC gains, but the cost to Myanmar for production, parts and maintenance will translate into work for Pakistanis. It's a stimulus the government of Pakistan doesn't have to foot for.

The profit matters, but a much bigger chunk of that money will also translate into work for Pakistanis, especially in terms of the long-term if maintenance and servicing contracts are secured. That said, however small or large the profit for PAC, I hope they put that money back into more...

Pakistan rejected the Wing Loong I in 2010, I don't think it'd be anything less than Wing Loong II. It's worth keeping in mind that when it comes to drones, Pakistan seems to prefer designs from CASC (the maker of the CH-4 and CH-5). The Wing Loong is made by CAIG. I think Pakistan was...

There are no heavy ground attack aircraft akin to the A-10 on the market. That role has essentially been adopted by fighter aircraft such as the F-16. With the right armaments - e.g. laser-guided air-to-ground missiles and rockets, small diameter bombs, etc - the JF-17 can serve as a ground...

One of the main reasons why Pakistan spent money on developing the JF-17 was in order to get maximum freedom in terms of integrating its choice of subsystems onto the platform. The JF-17 has its physical limitations, but the ability to integrate your choice of pod, radar, avionics, air-to-air or...

I reiterate - this is all analysis and guesswork. Your conclusions are sound, but we can't take them as fact unless they're verified as such (especially the SLCM bit) by the authorities. We're only talking about Ra'ad and Babur because knowledge of these systems was disclosed by the armed...

Funny ... because in 2015 that same guy told Sputnik News, "We have signed a contract with Pakistan for the Mi-35, deliveries will begin next year," Sergey Chemezov, Rostec general director, told RIA Novosti in Dubai (link)

Let's re-phrase the question. "Can you sell Pakistan the stuff that has your brand on it?"

There's a news clip from Hurriyet somewhere in this thread, at 4:00 they say it was Pakistan

We didn't induct the Wing Loong the first time, I take it (if this was a test flight) it won't be for the second time either. @Arsalan
