Many of those engagements are recognizable as operations conducted by the USAF in Afghanistan. Obviously the F-7 strafing runs are PAF though.

In my opinion, before the JF-17 platform sees success in the export market there are a few KEY features which it needs (some of these are well on their way): 1. Air to Air refueling probe IN ADDITION to a larger internal fuel tank 2. Minimum of 9 hardpoints 3. Dual seat variant. 4. AESA radar...

Good Ol' Texas.

Yes, to implement a mechanically retractable refueling PROBE is very costly and in most instances would also require a redesigning of the aircraft's fuselage. Not to mention that Pakistan simply does not have the expertise yet. I cant obviously tell you exactly how much it will cost to add such...

Too expensive.

There will come a day when the American people realize where their dollars are going and something drastic will happen. I just hope it comes soon enough.

This man is the key that the United States is missing. It's unfortunate that the corporate scum that run that country will never let him in power. Truly an American.

They don't want it to, they need an excuse to launch the god damn atrocities that they do.

What sort of an escort is without armaments? Thank you for the pictures btw.

This was said about the Mirage 3s and 5s some years ago. But look where we are. There are 2 things which I believe will go in Pakistan's favour: 1. The AWC's Mirage Rebuild Factory 2. The presence of many PAF and Pakistani personnel in the UAEAF.

In all honesty, I have admit that I'm against taking the Mirage 2000-9 route in favor of the 18 new optional F-16s which were a part of the original contract signed back a few years ago. But of course, both platforms would be wonderful to have in PAF arsenal.

^This is not a TuAF vs. EAF thread boys.

That second photo has to be one the best pictures of our armed forces that I have seen in recent years. Also, I believe these might be special operations soldiers.

707 Has to be the most photogenic F-16 in the PAF inventory mann. That sexy beast is in every other picture :P

This thread has nothing to do with KSA. Stop making every post of yours about the KSA. As for why the KSA is incompetent in doing something like this.... well we don't have to go too far to know the answer to know about that do we? :azn:

I remember reading your posts and appreciating your point of view. The fact that this was 7-8 years ago should help you in understanding how much exactly I used to look forward to reading your posts. It's nice to see you here, hope you post more often! The Indian government has been trying to...

What armament can the ATR-72 carry? Also, of the following, which are considered to be the best MPA platform: - ATT-72 MPA - CN-295 MPA - P-3C Orion - new SAAB 2000 MPA

Whoa. Are you the same ReichMarshal that use to be on defencetalk long ago?

Quality over quantity my friend. Most of the budget is thrown into the Air Force which currently possess 72 Typhoons, 250+ F-15's and a little over 100 Tornado's. While I know the Tornado's aren't exactly the most expensive of jets today (except for maintenance), those Typhoons must have cost...

I think of the 2 batches of the UAEAF Mirages, 30 were delivered in the early 1990's and 30 in the early 2000's. If the UAEAF is acquiring 30 F-16 Blk 61s, I believe they will retire the first batch of the Mirages that they received in the early 1990's. This is bittersweet for the PAF, but...
