It could be a cross border violation by mistake, there are no borders in the air, no LOC marking helps at 30,000ft. GPS co-ordinates and flight path did, but there is always margin of error while operating close to the border. I'm not advocating NATO here but it looks like a routine matter, only...

Because operations in WOT are mostly directly funded by US. Cobras and F-16 should be put to good use, instead of utilizing rest of the air force assets in that. K-8 never got such attention in the past, because we had A-5s for ground role. COIN ops were turned into F16/Cobra's show. K-8's...

Its way bigger network. Other than a country's Intelligence agencies; each military has its own network of intelligence, which not only keeps eyes on personnel inside their own force but also focus on weapons procurement, operational status, attrition, deployments, exercises...or anything that...

This is 12 VIP Sqn's Museum/historic section....Some nice B-707's style architectural design. I have its complete picture somewhere.

...and what lessons Indians learns from US sanctions on military sale to Pakistan? This weapon sale is not about a country's ego and keeping his name high, its all about business...If US or any other supplier want to make fast money, they will sell weapons. US wants military balance in the...

They can be done, modified K-8 with structural modifications can be a good solution. A-5, i don't think so, its big and slow as compare to K-8 (A-5 speed 643 kts, K-8 speed 513 kts) , not good turn rate as well...it will be a sitting duck for ground fire. TAI Hurkus, no need for that, K-8 can...

In simple words, unfortunately its still the best solution for us. JF-17 is one, but we still need 3-5 more years to see the 'hard-hitting' JF-17 with all the glory you see in airshows/defence exhibitions. You need its 100-150 combat ready pilots, 3 or 4 times more ground crew and lots of...

1. depends on the type of posting, if its because of some natural disaster then there is no relaxation. A friend of mine's wife was posted in Kamra when floods came in 2011, she was posted for two weeks in Nawabashah and had to left her two kids at home, little one was 6 months old. 2. As...

It is already discussed in detail. Please go through following thread, especially posts on page 3 and 5. http://www.defence.pk/forums/pakistan-army/31365-concept-design-cas-aircraft-needs-pakistan-army-aviation.html

I doubt that PAF will go with increasing count F16 units . Adding more aircraft under one unit would save a lot of hassle, especially if in future Uncle Sam plans to stick his nose in such matters. Increasing squadron strength (of F16/JF-17 sqn) would create burden on sqn management and...

Thats a good point sir, will PAC/CATIC going for customers that keep the name of their fighter or will they prefer 'hot money' over that? Presence of Pak/Chinese personnel and development of related infrastructure for training and maintenance seems a good requirement. Countries like Nigeria...

It depends on the ally you are talking about....Pak-US relations have decades old history, If they have deteriorated to lowest level then its means one of them have seen enough of this "friendship". Now you should be thinking that this 'one country' is US? aren't you? Regarding China, one...

63 F-16s, 45 A/B models undergoing MLU, 18 F-16C/D Block52. Over 40 JF-17s in operational service (+5-7 undergoing evaluation).

No, we will possibly get 14 more F-16s (which will be MUL'ed later), no new purchase is expected. Regarding their comparison with Bk52, its avionics and weapon configuration that is pretty much same but F16 Block52 is way better in metallurgy and air frame. 60% of Block52 has modular design...

My friend don't get me wrong, but this is not the end of the world. You can pursue any career you want if you have the motivation to learn and spirit of work. There are very few seats in GD(P) and they have candidates from all over Pakistan, its natural that they will go for the MOST suitable...

...perhaps if people in India stop posting Hitler's quotations and his motivational graphics/fan-art on social media only then his 'growing' fans will decrease.

@AhaseebA HATF-V was last time tested on Dec21, 2010. The recent test is 10th test of this missile and for the first time such 'missile motor' or any other component has fallen on the ground during its journey to the target in Arabian sea...one can speculate that this time missile was tested...

Its less than that, 2/2hr 30min. Endurance varies from mission load and mission profile (Hi-Hi-Hi/Hi-Lo-Hi etc).

6-8 countries are generally named as 'potential customers' by PAC, there delegation have visited PAC number of times in past couple of years. Zimbabwe AF delegation at PAC.
