Forgive him, sir. Other countries have their own "flags" exercises. Canada has the "Maple Flag", which is very similar to Red Flag, with the same enemy (USAF Aggressor Squadrons). The only difference is, it's a lot colder. From Wikipedia: A typical flag exercise year includes ten Green Flags (a...

You are correct, we must ensure the meat is Halal. However, you are relying on hearsay, so you cannot definitively say the meat is Haram. Let me see if I can find out where the meat is coming from (I would welcome the help of anyone in the US).

Pakistan's worst flash floods in decades, which have left more than 1,500 people dead, have provided an opportunity for the Obama administration to repair the tattered image of the U.S. with a crucial ally. U.S. officials on Wednesday spelled out the administration's efforts to help those...

The fuel doesn't begin to transfer until the probe has formed an air-tight seal with the drogue and locked on. This means that, if there is a fuel leak, it won't be a huge one. If a little bit of fuel ends up in the engine, it's shouldn't pose a serious problem, and at most, you will end up with...

In order to fly the F-16 in Pakistan, you must first display tremendous skill in flying one of our other platforms, namely the Mirage III/V, F-7 or (previously) the A-5 Fantan. It is considered to be a great honor to fly the front-line fighter of the PAF. Hence, the only group of pilots that...

The current Block of JF-17s has neither TVC engines nor an incredibly high TWR, hence I doubt there will be any STOL without external assistance. As far as I know, the PAF doesn't use JATO and doesn't plan to either. If, however, the WS-13 to be incorporated into JF-17s has TVC, maybe things...

I've really enjoyed this thread a lot over the past few weeks. Some terrific photography and very interesting information has been shared. Thanks to all the contributors, your efforts are much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Hello members, I apologize for not being active in PDF for the past few months. I hadn't forgotten, I kept checking back from time to time, but have just been unable to spend any significant amount of time here. I am writing to ask a very specific question. Is anybody aware of the names of...

Recent news that Israeli covert operatives were probably responsible for the murder of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh does not come as a surprise to anyone who is aware of Israel's past. What can be astounding, however, are the double standards applied to different countries of the same region...

Israel's new war on Islamic sites In a move that appears to be a celebration of the 16th anniversary of the massacre of 29 worshippers by the terrorist Baruch Goldstein, the Israeli government has proclaimed that the Ibrahimi Mosque in Khalil (Hebron) and Masjid Bilal ibn Rabah (mosque) in...

This problem could be overcome with an AESA, as it required no room to move, don't you think? Pakistan is currently evaluating European, and possibly Chinese, radars for later block JF-17s. Surely, there would be no point of negotiating for a more powerful radar if the range was naturally...

It took you this long to realize? WebMaster is Big Brother, and he is watching you...

"We know how to deal with you, India warns Pakistan" Can you get any more desparate than this? It's a new low in Indian foreign policy. Who needs "diplomacy" when you can throw a hissy fit!

On a lighter note, I think Gen. K will need to get the hair-transplant guy's number from Nawaz Sharif. If he gets an extension, he'll definitely be needing one. The grass on that pitch definitely needs some curating.

I had expected the Green part, but not the Blue part. But, now that I think about it, it makes sense. All the pilots that have been transferred over to the JF-17 so far have been ex-F-16 pilots with many hundreds of flying hours (unless I am very mistaken). Hence, our current crop of JF-17...

Great advice, but a little late. We forgot about the Flankers about 15 years ago. Enjoy our left-over grapes.

Yes, my contact has confirmed it, the SLIPBM was tested. The new Inter Planetary Ballistic Missile, known as the "Na-Mumkin" will keep the Indians in check, even if they decide to colonize Mars. Oh, did I mention that these were stealth missiles, i.e., they are undetectable by anti-missile...

According to my sources, they tested a Ship-Launched Inter Planetary Ballistic Missile (SLIPBM) capable of carrying a 50 tonne nuclear payload, and two Underwater High Energy Laser Torpedoes (UHELT) with a kill radius of 100km. I'll try to confirm that for you. Sleep well.

The Vancouver Olympics didn't pay for themselves. or Thank God for NORAD. or I knew it! The wiring schematics look exactly like the Avro Arrow! or Oh Canada!

The official History of the Pakistan Air Force mentions this as well. Both Russian and Ukrainian Su-27 Flankers were offered and evaluated in the past. Other sources close to the PAF have also confirmed this. The deals fell through for various reasons, geo-politics, internal politics, finance...
