I hate to say "I told you so", but... No actually I don't in this case. The PAA loves this platform and, more importantly, the people behind it. Let's wait for something official to come out.

Well, cm dispensers are a basic necessity. I they have been installed, but the bottom shot doesn't show it. It could be that they have ben moved from the trailing edge extensions (as in the prototype and F-16) onto the insides of the fuselage (not the square panels, but to the right of them)...

Possible chaf/flare dispensers?

My cousin's friend died in this. He was one of the people to get run over. At those speeds, even a pebble on the road can potentially be dangerous. The driver lost control of the car. If this race was illegal, then everyone involved should be punished. If, however, the race was legally...

Largest Mosque has to be Masjid al-Haram in Makkah Mukarramah, Saudi Arabia, with a max capacity of around 1 million people. Largest enclosed Mosque would have to be Masjid al-Nabawi (SAS) in Madinah Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia, with a max capacity of at least half a million. I don't even think...

They're on the rear-fuselage it seems, the two visible squares (may not have been installed in this model?). That look like flare/chaffe dispenser to me. I can't see anything else that looks like a countermeasure dispenser, unless you look at the little area just above the bumps in the intakes...

Dear MastanKhan, Information warfare is as much about revealing the right information at the right time than it is about withholding information. It's not only what your enemy doesn't know that affects the way he thinks, but also what he does know and then perceive from it. I remember in the...

I see weapons being loaded onto the F-16s and F/A-18s using loading vehicles operated by 1 or 2 people max, whereas around the 4:30 mark, Pakistanis are loading the Mirages by hand with 4 or 5 personnel carrying one weapon. Do we not have loaders or is the Mirage's belly too low for...

Here is the full text of the particular cable being referred to: A few things to note are: - The fuel under question is not "highly enriched weapons grade uranium" but rather spent fuel from a research reactor (Chashma, I believe). - The Government of Pakistan agreed to the transfer of the...

Consider this: Can you imagine the international response if kill-switches were ever activated on American equipment sold to "allies" such as Pakistan and Australia? The Defence industry is the United States' largest domestic industry and generates the most amount of revenue. The US is also...

I do not have the power to ban him. I can only delete his posts, which I've done.

One word: WikiLeaks. Alright now, control your emotions. Without some of these Generals, Pakistan would not exist today. It is one thing to be critical, it is another thing entirely to be insulting. It is, in fact, a General who is the most popular leadership personality in Pakistan right now...

This is one of my all-time favorites: It's not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog. - Mark Twain

Well, political and long-term availability considerations definitely go against the Cobras. However, there is no doubt that the PAA thinks highly of the Cobra platform and is extremely comfortable with it. The PAA would be more than happy to continue on with the Cobra/Super-Cobra into the...

I understand your point, but don't you think the argument made by hasnain009 still stands? Ideally, PAF would not want to use relatively new fighter-borne AESA tech on the JF-17. There are already many untested systems on-board the JF-17, you don't want one of your most important systems to be...

I've stolen it already! Great work.

I believe this news is slightly faulty. I think Pakistan Army Aviation would be a lot more interested in Mi-38 as an advanced add-on for heavy lift capabilities. I highly doubt the Mi-35 would be very useful, it just doesn't fit into the PAA doctrine. It's everything the Cobra isn't. Pakistan's...

Indeed, that could be the case. Thanks for that.

American military personnel are present not only in FATA, but have also been conducting operations in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. In one of the WikiLeaks Us Embassy Cable, Ambassador Crocker requests that the UN request to ban JuD be delayed until American military personnel are out of AJK and...

1. (S) Summary: The Pakistani Army has for just the second time approved deployment of U.S. special operation elements to support Pakistani military operations. The first deployment, with SOC(FWD)-PAK elements embedded with the Frontier Corps in XXXXXXXXXXXX, occurred in September (reftel)...
