well the writing say recovered from tail of Mig 21. does this means it was fired upon. And it opens up a new debate. was there a dog fight or it was from ground based gun.
Going through the discussion it seems that 2047 time line is being taken as some sort of planned deadline.
If we take the third person account of conversation as true still we are missing out the point.
2047 is going to be 100th independence day. So what AC said is by the time Pakistan turns...
The problem here is that we are not directly hearing what Air chief has said rather we are hearing from third person. so what is said may get little bit distorted.
The issue is if PAF will start induction of first air craft under AZAM in 2047 I.e 27 years from now and 30 years from start of...
2030 will be too late. it won't be possible to build or purchase 300 to 400 5 G plans in and integrate with operational tactics and philosophy in 10 year.
PAF will most likely start indicting a 5th Generation aircraft by the end of this decade. in ideal situation there will be three phases of...
we will need to replace AL zarar pretty soon. they are already more than a decade old upgrade and would not last long.
technically PA looking at formation with maximum commonality over longer term. VT 4, AK, AK 1 all are pretty much based on same design and share certain commonalities.
AK 2 is...
as far as I know badian road is towards east. it will be more useful to build a new stadium at the junction of new Lahore multan motorway and Lahore sialkot motorway interchanges on M 2.
it will give access to not only Lahore but also to cities on M2 sialkot motorway and multan motorway...
The problem is what will you do with a stadium having capacity of 60,000. even the current one can't be filled in 99 % games.
The design is one of the best in the world and unique. it blends well in Lahore traditional buildings. and space is also limited maybe they can add an additional upper...
PN is looking to have 2 to 3 different force structures in future. on the west coast it will mostly be OPV and Older ships mostly performing anti submarine function and coastal patrol.
While the larger ships and submarines will be assigned open water operation in Arabian sea.
The most...
I believe that PCB should look to develop at least 8 new ones. as most of our current ones are passed their further development capacities and are situated in congested areas with no parking and traffic problems. Furthermore the strict security makes the matter even worse.
You need to develop...
Really amazing to see some comments about a cricket stadium effecting Islamabad's greenery. As if there are no concrete structures their. for those who are unaware their is a huge concrete athletics stadium in islamabad and lots and lots of concrete buildings etc.
Stepping aside Rawalpindi and...
Definitely agreed we need to develop whole coastal areas. it's not too much. Pakistan navy already has base in Ormara and a city with decent port can be deployed similarly passni is also a good location. these three ports along with two in Karachi and additional on in kati bandar can be linked...
Based on recent interview is PN now looking at this ship again. may they are having a second thought about damen ships or maybe looking for additional corvettes.
They might go for both. PN can operate both from different ships.
AW159 being smaller than Z20 csn be operated from Milgem and daman ships while Z20 can be operated from Type 54. While some can be operated from land for shallow water options.
Important addition to what outgoing Chief said is Helicopter, Corvettes, which was still not finalized, but surprise was shallow-water attack submarines. the word attack most likely means its not the midget ones. I believe PN is looking for a west as China still has no such subs on offer.
Also...
Overall three main culprits
1 Un sincere bureaucrats
2 corrupt and self centered political parties
3 Opportunist business class.
the primary fault was sincerity.
What was required was a simple central northwest route. Starting from the new propused route from yarkhand via muzaffarabad than...
Well this road is under review and planning for some time. Last year I visited Astor and people were talking about it. some even said that some sort of work is already under way to drill a tunnel in mountain which will connect Astor to Muzafarabad.
Its good that now focus is shifting to build...
well it doesn't make much sense if Jinnah class is an extended version of Milgem. We are already getting it as per our specifications. an VSL and local ASM or LACM.
Further when PN is getting Type 54 why go for a similar size ship from another source instead of customization of same.
On both...
well initially PAF was looking at around 150 JF17 + F16 100 + and keeping Mirage till some thing new comes along.
but things changed in 90s than came 2000 and things started to change but along the line it all changed again.
Throughout this JF 17 also evolved from 150 to 200 to 300. and yes...
The notified range itself shows that its being mis reported for obvious reasons to keep ambiguity. 2750 why not 2500 or 3000 as is the case with all other such missile world over.
As it has been point that in order to target furthest region of Indian the with its current stated range missile...
This whole debate on concealing the range is kinda absurd. Keeping in mind that most of our enemies have much better capability and sources to assess actual range. So the idea that we deliberately test a missile with shorter range so as not to pinch uncal Sam or Jews is foolish. Yes it gives a...
