I posted following in Irans loss of AWACs thread, copy pasting here for those who haven't read it. ... I don't think China will be providing Iran with any high end military hardware in near future. The thing we Pakistani's forget very often is that, although an Islamic nation, Iran is allied...

Ofcourse ... Spada is a beast ... Crotales are there to stop enemy fighters from making low level ground attack runs ... to force them to fly high ... where they are visible from far away (using ground radars) and also prone to emergency cap counter missions.

If India manages to acquire GE414 for LCA, it will be a real boost for the LCA program because it will not only increase the performance (payload and manouvering) of the LCA but also will provide LCA with an engine whose RAM (reliability, availability, maintainability) will be much higher than...

Dear , in international politics ... proof doesnt matter at ALL. Do you think the world doesnt have any proof of mass genocide of Palestinians by Israel, Do you think the world lacks proof of Afghan and Iraqi genocide at the hands of US soldiers. What matters is "INTENTIONS". Its not UN's/US's...

Yes, crotale is an OLD OLD system ... but i do remember some news about completion of an upgrade to entire crotale fleet, not more than a couple of years ago. Does anyone know what upgrades were taken with crotale system ?

I don't think canards play HUGE difference in RCS, both the Eurofighter and Rafale have them and they still claim to have pretty low RCS, in ranges of around 1m2. I may be wrong here, but i don't think canards will cause RCS to jump significantly.

You are correct in essence, but before reducing Su30's RCS, one must calculate which parts of its design are responsible for its huge RCS. My bet is that Su30s RCS is due to its large parallel tail planes and visible engine fans, also the very prominent tandem cockpit layout. If thats the...

I am confused ... do you intend to say that Su30 is difficult to detect using radar ???

I don't think China will be providing Iran with any military hardware in near future. The thing we Pakistani's forget very often is that, although an Islamic nation, Iran is allied with India and not Pakistan. Iran WAS allied with Pakistan at time of Shah, when both Pakistan and Iran were part...

Please remember that F16 block 60 is the first and ONLY exception ... it even says so in its info bulletins. Generally, Export variants are watered down ... you cannot build upon an exception and say that the "rule" doesn't exist ... consider an exception as an exception.

Well Su27 series programmes have started to mature into Su30s, Su33s and Su35s decades after its inception ... same is the case with F16 and F15, and judjing by the history, FC-1 will be no different. But one thing is for sure, Su30 IS and will remain one step ahead of FC-1 unless we produce...

man ... you really are a FAIR critic ... these days, its a RARE feat

Dear i am comparing Mi17 (russian) to Aérospatiale Puma, boith are utility helis with two engines each ... Mi17 has 2500 flight hour enigne life ... Puma has 8000 ... more over ... Mi17 is pain in the *** to maintain. Pakistan currently operates russian(Mi17), french(Puma)...

you are right once again ... IOC + FOC will still take long ... perhaps 3~5 years will pass before we have a seasoned squadron of FC-1 ready for ACTIVE service, while having developed pilot skills as well as war-time strategies. All we are talking here is the effect of FC-1 on Su30's pilot's...

yes ... russian stealth concept is different from boeing ... boeing's stealth exists for one

dear ... stick to tech debate ... this is not political forum ... i probably shouldn't have dignified your post with a reply

russian equipment fails your beloved RAM criterion inside and out (I am not saying that Chinese are better ... just that Russians are bad). Do remember that Pakistan has russian equipment as well. the Mi17 heli's with Pak Army are a pain in the @ss when compared to french Puma. I have an army...

sure ... you are correct ... shall i edit my original post ?? but do remember that Su30 will be aggressor and will travel from far away and will have to get back to friendly soil to land. FC-1 doctrine constricts it mostly to protecting its own soil (PAF will use F16s and FC20s as agressors and...

nice ... HAL following the footprints of Boeing, which after losing its mind (due to loss of JSF contract) decided to make F15 stealth ... here is a quote from F15 Silent Eagle report. <quote> The weapons-carrying fuel tanks, which are affixed to the aircraft with two bolts, and can be...

Only two things need improvement allowing FC-1 to be a potent threat to MKI in Indo-Pak scenario. 1. AESA Low Probability of Intercept Radar with good enough range (150km for 5m2). 2. Advanced AMRAAM with range comparable to R77-M1 / AIM120D with AESA sensor (for avoiding warhead jamming) (i...
