Finally someone spoke the truth!! Yes, the Turkish asked for their money back from the -35 project. The US then proposed a few items, one of them was the deal on the -16 V. Turkey then asked for more upgraded kits. So the Congress and the Senate have to pass the additional upgraded kits to bring...

The little that I understand Pakistan's strategic forces, when the word Lahore is used, it's really 50-70 miles before it. Now if you drew the radius, you'd be surprised what it covers. Unless things have changed since my understanding of key installations. The Karachi does have the most...

Yes indeed. I was going to say that also. One of the biggest one includes Pakistan procuring the Hawkeye 2000 (it wasn't approved and thus Pakistan later bought the Chinese ZDK AEW aircrafts). Also, the comments about "hypersonic" and the link then to cruise or ballistic missiles is erroneous...

Someone from Poland is trying to teach me US-Russian relations lol. I love it. The US and Russia are not at war and nor are there any real tensions. In fact, Russia, a few years ago had started strategic bomber patrols coming close to Alaska and UK and were intercepted a few times. Even those...

Did Pakistan get HQ9A? There should be ToT and mass production of a capable SAM and a couple of BVR missiles.

Nope, this was actually the reality. The Russians didn't offer bases so the Americans can call them allies going forward. It was to fight against terrorism and related ops, and Russia herself is involved with similar ops around their homeland. Russia and Europe had a hot and cold relationship...

This is a great example of Russia getting closer to the West. Many here point out that the Russians are building a new block with the Chinese. That's inaccurate. Russia at this time is only interested in economic growth. They are connecting with Europe with direct oil and gas pipelines, selling...

This is already in place and the older active radar missiles / ABM's, are getting updated to counter hypersonic weapons using AI. For Pakistan, I keep saying, it's imperative that it build's under ToT it's own BVR and SAM weapons. SD-10 and HQ-9 should be great examples to start from and mass...

What exactly did you say that wasn't in my post already? Read up on the post before writing me emotional responses! If you have a counter argument, make it so it makes sense to others and me. Reading your post, it seems as you are rewording part of my post.

This vehicle landed 24 miles away from it's target!! A few corrections, Hypersonic vehicles are NOT faster than BM's. I've seen times and times on here where people think otherwise. Second, no ABM was avoided. Low orbit objects unless have a re-entry trajectory of Western hemisphere, they can...

USA buys other weapons not because it doesn't have enough quality and capability of it's own, it buys other weapons primarily to train it's Pilots and Military against the real thing they'd face in the future. Additionally, it buy one or more copies of these weapons to come up with Jamming, etc...

I get the "backyard" part and I think everyone else too. However, do you know the vertical launch capability that USN has? There are 8 CBG's assigned to Pacific region and usually a full CBG can have up to 30+ ships. I'm not counting aircrafts. However, again, we all understand that in China's...

I always discount the range as I know better what they are once the ignition starts and waste that happens. If you don't like it, please add 10-15% to meet the official numbers. If you already get the point, no need for an argument.

Is there a comparison between Erieye and Global Eye?

TVC is great for the 5th gen fighters, if they ever have to come down to WVR / close in fights, it helps the fighter maneuver very quickly and point to enemy's 6 at all times as it's turn would be instantaneous. While, a non-TVC fighter will have to do a full turn within 16-20 seconds. A kill...

This is a very well written response. So either the Russians sold them (probably working weapons) or the Chinese armed them, sort of making them a proxy? I agree, there is no way for NK to build these on their own. Hypersonic testing labs are a huge supercomputing nightmare and billions of...

Is the range for the next gen MBT similar to the Russian next gen tank being discussed in this article?

These will host about 35 -35's and a few combat / SAR helicopters. Is there a Chinese analogue to these too? Any VTOL projects in the pipes?

Interesting question. You think that sensitive agreements to this level are published online for the world to see? May be a few people on here know a thing or two. There are a lot of people on here that have backgrounds in various things.
