the most surprising in the list is Saudi Arabia. with such large coastline its navy is really small. In case of Pakistan its more than one factor small coastline limited economy and more focus on other services was a big factor along with the fact that we had a defensive strategy.
However...
the basic layout must have been decided by now. there should not be much surprise in it. A modern day new fighter development takes around 10 years any more is basically incompetence. and in at least two years basic layout is finalize. So not a big surprise if you see any model or artist expression.
i think duel seat JF 17 will defiantly remove second.
When we imitated ROSE program for mirages Pakistan did not had capability to produce a air craft. now things are different. an aircraft technically has three components air-frame engine and avionics.
if we change avionics and engine...
Mirage 3/5 are an icon in PAF probably more than F 16, but every thing has a limit. they probably will not lost beyond 2025. And with the introduction of duel seat JF 17 PAF is also thinking on same lines Mirage place will be shared by JF 17 and UACV.
Yes focusing on subsystem rather than...
I always believed PN should buy more medium size ships and development a network enteric warfare. with multiple platforms providing different weapons under joint control. such a arrangement will not only be economical but also disperse our assats which will make them hard to counter attack...
To start with one must always b ready for war. its an order for muslim forces.
" keep your horses ready for battle"
we may have some short comings like lack of equipment. I cant discuss much on that. but one thing I believe is that war is faught across multiple spectrums.
the first one is...
quite opposite to russian design the ratip of turret and chassis seems almost 1:1 it seems US will take out driver from chassis and put all human operators in turret
its too early to say the design has been finalized. most probably its just presentation of future concept. not sure they will release design details in such manner
Both the Chinese entries look out of plan. they are offering so many accessories in a low budged car. which makes it more expensive.
they must learn from suzuki. which is offering a strapped down models of every car.
if you produce a simplified version of bravo with cast around 650,000 in non...
looks more like a refined airframe (in terms of stealthy shape) of SU 57 but interesting designs.
And good option for PAF if Turkey decides to go for higher russian content it might be a heavey fighter. in such case Pakistan can go for single engine light fighter and complemented by heavey TAI...
building a ship is not that much of a problem its the weopens installed on them that is issue. we had the capacity to make a ship but weapons were problem. but now that we are developing a variety of missiles I believe that its not farfetched to think we may be able to build a decent warship in...
won't be surprised if we build a reasonable size of fleet of this aircraft. is quite logical to have a versatile platform for various versions.
further its been more than a decade since we inducted these. I won't be surprised if we have developed a reasonable capabilities to developed or some...
over the years since I joined this forum. not musch was discussed about the induction of strike specific aircraft.
our current strike aircraft are old and also doesn't have much payload. may be J 10 can give us something in that regard.
personally I believe that JF 17 and Project AZAM will b...
I don't have much knowledge about military and weapons.
but one thing I have doughts about is effectiveness of long or medium range air defense systems in such hilly terrain.
the short range ADS or even Anti Aircraft Guns seem more effective in LOC.
its a big vehicle most likely a APC good to see that local companies are working on a variety of products offring differant solutions insted of working on one single showpiece item.
PA will need different kinds of vehical. you will find various vehicles in a single convoy.
this one will site...
if you look at all the stealth fighters only one out of 8 developed or under development is differant I.e. PAKFA rest weather it is F22,35 j20, 31, TFX MCA or
japanies one all have similar diagram. only size or finer detail are different. so if PAF is looking at NGF dont b surprized if it looks...
