Hi, any updates on a SL Babur? I know there was something tested last month from a PN frigate, but the statements made by the PN were very ambigious. It is interesting, that South Korea has already tested their cruise missiles from a destroyer and submarine. South Korea unveils missile it...

Hi, I have the paper version of this book and have read it. It is very well written and shows how close Pakistan was to losing its nuclear weapons program. Kahuta suffered a major earthquake in the early 80's, that knocked out all their centrifuges, and Pakistan at that time had no HEU. If...

Hi, I will take the more cautious approach and believe it when they are delivered. Moreover, I highly doubt the K-8 is being retired. The PAF just upgraded the K-8s delivered in the early 90s to a full glass cockpit, for them to be standardized with the newer delivered ones. I think this...

Hi, your comment, while intended to be funny, hides the fact of this serious development. India is also buying Apache attack heliocpters. With the addition of this bird, Paskistan is at a serious disadvantage. These helicopters can decimate entire tank divisions, as was shown in the first...

Hi Mr. Zarvan, I understand your frustration on this matter. However, the simple truth is Pakistan does not have the money, even a few billion dollars to buy these machines. It is really sad how this current civilian administration has managed the economy into the ground. Just sad a...

Hi, extending the length or width of the wings on an aircraft increases the drag, and hence the need for more thrust. It might also affect other aerodynamic capabilities, and as such, you simply cannot make one part bigger without other penalties.

Hi, moreover the IAF just signed a deal for 42 more SU-30MKIs, which will put their grand total at 272 Su-30MKIs, not to mention their upgraded MiG-29s, LCAs, and Mirage-2000s. The PAF will get overrun in a few hours facing those numbers, even with JF-17s and 40 J-10Bs (if they can ever afford...

Hi, not to sound too sarcastic (and also not directed towards you)... How about choice C, Neither! There was an article in Defensenews.com, which pointed out that DCN and HDW did not advertise their submarines at IDEAS 2012, simply because Pakistan currently does not have the funds to buy...

Hi, more importantly, I do not think the PA/PAF is that backward to use unguided rockets on a UAV. It is an interesting article; I am sure the PAF is struggling with targeting systems, due to lack of a satellite system. However, using unguided rockets, I do not believe that.

Moscow Warms Up To Islamabad ~ ASIAN DEFENSE Moscow Warms Up To Islamabad Pakistan Army’s Chief of the Army Staff, Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, will be visiting Moscow in the coming days, following which Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a two-day official visit to Pakistan starting...

Hi, I did not mean to put the thumbs up, as I do not know how it even showed up. How can I remove it? I tried to, but could not. I simply opened up a post, that is all. Now, I feel really bad.

Hi Mr. Nishan_101, I opened a seperate thread about this. Moderators kindly please delete or merge it, as you deem fit. I just do not want to start a second discussion on this. Thanks.

Hi, according to this article the front end of a Saab 2000 AWACs was damaged. Can someone kindly please verify the reliability of this article? I hope this is not true, as the PAF cannot afford to loose a AWACs. Thanks! Analysis: The bigger questions surrounding Kamra – The Express...

Hi, the raised spline in the newer 2-seat F-16 version in more to offset the space that the backseat takes up, and where electronics and/or fuel would have been in the single seat version.

Hi, among all the tasteless threads, this one has to rank up there. How is having more nukes going to help Pakistan with its current problems at hand? There are two insurgencies raging in Pakistan, no law and order, no power, no water, and no revenue to pay its loans back, to name a few...

Hi, the third squadron might not be up and running, but rest assured production at Kamra has not stopped, so new planes are being built and pilots trained. In due time more squadrons will be inducted.

Hi Mr. Roybot, thanks for this comment. I laughed so hard. I mean seriously, can the original poster not do his research before claiming it is fifth gen aircraft and it has windows?

Hi, all I can say about that quote is Yeaaaahhhh!!! Okay getting back to the point. Currently I think the Naval Babur will be launched via torpedo tubes. Can anyone comment on how the US Navy launches its Tomahawks from its subs? Are they launched from missile silos or torpedo tubes...

Hi, just to reinforce what has been said above. I explicitly remember in an interview with Dr. AQ Khan, he admitted that North Korea did help in the original Ghauri version. However, he went on to say when Pakistan was past the learning curve, they started building their own "stuff" and more...
