Hi, this is a bit over hyped and more like a Tom Clancy fantasy novel (in my opinion). However, it does show that Pakistan has some major bad press in the world, and with the inept leaders it currently has this scenario has been unfortunately overblown...

Hi, in the latest Air Forces Monthly issue it was also mentioned that the PAF was paying for a dedicated 2-seater trainer/attack variant of the JF-17. However, a PAF official mentioned that there was no rush, as the PAF had operated other platforms for years (A-5, F-7PGs) before getting...

Hi, fixed silos means a fixed target. With advanced satellites these days, a fixed silo missile site would be identified in no time, and would be hit on the onset of hostilities. Mobile and submarine launched missiles are better.

Dear all, let's forgo debating foreign sales of the JF-17 and concentrate on first seeing what the Block II version has to offer. Moreover, given the current imbalance stacked up against the PAF, the PAF should concentrate on inducting more JF-17 and FC-20s.

Hi, the current version of the JF-17 can carry a podded IRST on a hardpoint. But that is inefficient and one loses a weapons station. I can't wait to see the new version of the JF-17 (Block II). It will be interesting to see what has included.

Hi, the Kopyo-25 pod is the past and old. It was proposed a while back to upgrade Soviet era Su-25 Frogfoot ground attack fighters. Those fighters only had laser and night vision sensors in the nose. They had no radars. Their noses could not be redesigned to include both systems, and a cheap...

Hi, I wanted to add to a couple of points to what Mr. MK said. The Anza is a heat seaking missile and as such cannot be guided by a radar. The most you could probably use it for is on a helicopter to engage other helicopters or other low flying objects. The Stinger missile is carried by...

Hi, I think a shorter version of this video has been posted earlier. However, this shows a longer clip of the test firing of the PL-5EII.

Hi Mr. Mani2020, yes a JF-17 and FC-20 is useless against a terrorist. A lot of people are frustrated at the complete ineptitude of the current leadership and moreover, their blatant lack of concern of the suffering of the mases. It is also a national disgrace that over 30K people have...

Hi, the entire Pakistan leadership and Pakistan Armed Forces high command are a bunch of hijras. You give them a few dollars and they will line up to... /*************************************/ Pakistan returns U.S. helicopter from bin Laden raid - Yahoo! News Pakistan returns U.S...

Hi, this has overall been a good discussion. Let's not digress in the old JF-17 versus LCA arguments. Let's keep to the point, and moreover be civil to each other.

Hi, a lot of this is unconfirmed, but is great news if true. However, I do believe the projections for sales is a bit optimistic. Pakistan should concentrate on absorbing as much technology as possible, and also inducting JF-17s and FC-20s.

Hi, this image says it all. Pakistan needs to realize the threat to it comes from within, from fundamentalists and corruption, and not externally.

Hi, the US has every right to hit high value targets in Pakistan. Moreover, I hope they do, it will be in the entire world's interest and benefit. Pakistan has generally played a double game when it comes to this. I am not trying to start a flaming contest, but this is my personal opinion...

Hi, a P-3C Orion has been destroyed in the terrorist attack. /***************************************/ Four dead in PNS Mehran attack: news agency Four dead in PNS Mehran attack: KARACHI: Four people were killed in an armed attack Sunday by terrorists on PNS Mehran, a heavily...

Self deleted, as this article has been posted by Mr. Antibody in the main JF-17 discussion.

Hi Mr. Nick_Indian, please don't take anything personal here. This is a forum, and some people behave that way. I have never attacked anyone for who they are or where they are from, ever in my life. You make a good point also, in order to get to the bottom of this, the "news-wallah"...

Hi, some members have questioned why these planes will be assembled in China. If these planes are the new Block 2 versions, the the PAF staff have probably not come up to speed on assembling this version. Remember currently the PAF does not build the JF-17 100%, it still imports some stuff...

Hi, sure the PAF can shoot down drones. The PAF ACM has repeated said this, but has also mentioned it is a political decison. Given the PAF has AWACs now, it can easily detect these drones and vector in planes. You do not need a BVR F-16/JF-17 plane to shoot down a drone, unless it is an...

Hi, guys lets get back to the topic. The pictures of the jets scrambling were nice. Let's not get into a debate of NATO supply lines. We all know, the US will simply slip a few $$$ to the politicians, and the NATO lines will always remain open. Remember, you are dealing with Pakistani...
