Hi, Pakistan should simply license produce the T99 tank. The current AK at 48 tonnes seems a bit small compared to the newer tanks out there. However, I think the AK2 will be heavier. BTW these guys produce in bulk... pretty impressive. Chinese PLA Tank Production Line ~ ASIAN DEFENCE NEWS

Hello! Can we please stick to the thread? Bringing in India, or Bangladesh is not the topic at hand. Not to digress, Pakistan is much stronger militarily than it was back in 1971; it was very weak back then. My fellow Indian collegues always point that out, and yes that is true, but that was...

Hi, and old article, debated to death also, and not very true. Pakistan is in no financial position to teach any country a fiscal lesson. Pakistan is surviving on handouts and is struggling to not default. Just the sad reality of the current Pakistani leadership and their management.

Hi, I am guessing that the AK2 will have a similar turrent to the Type99, with much more protection in the front. The current AK has add-on ERA tiles added to the front of its turrent. Type 99 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Type 96 and 99 Main Battle Tanks

Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan Pakistan drugged out on defense and debt By Syed Fazl-e-Haider KARACHI - Pakistan is spending more on debt servicing than on defense, and seven times more on arms than on primary schools, according to a...

Hi, my personal opinion is that buying more F-16s whether second hand or new is plain and simple stupid. They are sanction prone aircraft and are dependent on spare from overseas. The PAF has still not learned its lesson.

Hi, this is nothing to be proud of. Rather it reinforces Pakistan's begging bowl, perpetuates its fiscal irresponsibility, and simply delays implementing necessary structural macroeconomic changes. Pakistan needs to improve its tax base and eliminate or vastly curb subsidies. Pakistan...

Hi, I personally think this is a stupid move by the PAF. They are buying sanction prone aircraft! http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_channel.jsp?channel=defense&id=news/asd/2011/03/01/01.xml&headline=Pakistan Air Chief Outlines Procurement Plans Pakistan Air Chief Outlines...

Hi, I wonder who the new customer is? I know Pakistan bought and now produces the earlier version. Selex Galileo gets new buyer for PicoSAR sensor-28/02/2011-London-Flightglobal.com

Hi, in the link it is mentioned the number of production docks will increase from 4 to 6. It also mentions 25 planes this year, but not more. Who knows if production will increase beyond 25 per year. Each JF-17 Block comprises a batch of 50 planes. Personally I think it would make sense to...

Hi, kindly please look at this post. The size of the antenna dish for the JF-17 was discussed or speculated upon. The Grifo-S has a size of 600M. I also calculate and compare the sizes of the antennae of the JF-17 versus F-16...

Hi, in addition, if internal equipment can be rearranged and/or miniaturized further, the radar antenna can be moved further backward in the nose. This will allow for fitting of a larger circumference radar dish, yet at the same time avoid an expensive redesign of the nose and its corresponding...

Hi, is this a joke? Rehabilitating a terrorist? Pardon my language for being blunt, but I will make an exception this time. If I was PM, I would hang these guys by their #$%@$% on a meat hook and watch them die slowly and bleed to death. These guys cannot be changed and should be executed at...

Hi, I agree with all the points, except asking for a bailout. Pakistan has the necessary resources to pay off this debt and become self sufficient. It has no real tax system, rampant corruption, to many subsidies, and money losing state enterprises like PIA, PakSteel Mills, Pakistan Railways...

Hi, this is a link showing the LS-6 PGM that the JF-17 will use. Also, unguided rockets are history in this day and age. They are unguided, have no stand-off capability and require low-level straffing attacks. The link does not seem to copy properly as it at j-a-n-e-s-.-c-o-m. Thanks...

Hi, here is a picture from Zuhai, showing this information. http://www.defence.pk/forums/jf-17-thunder/68207-jf-17-thunder-multirole-fighter-thread-4-a-98.html

Hi Mr Farhan_9909, if it is true that the JF-17 is using the RD-93MK version, that is very impressive. That is decent thrust, given 98KN = 22,031lbs of thrust, where 1lb = 4.448222N. Other than the picture by Klimov at Zuhai, has this been confirmed?

Hi, if I were the PAF chief, I would avoid any French stuff. The French already refused or stalled the previous deal, and looking back that was a great thing. China is much more reliable.
