I think our goals might have moved on a bit since Kashmir. Think of Bajwa's meeting with Sidhu. The Indian Punjab needs to be freed and independent of India to give us a buffer. My thought on the matter. However to do it tactfully without inviting the ire of the mighty Indian force and their...

I suspect not. However the block 3 might go. Just my thought though. A

Thank you. To add to your post posters should also consider Pakistan's financial situation at the time which was dire. A war at that time would jave been crippling. A

Bhai.. Iam caught up to my eyeballs in work and another stressful situation. I have explained my view on the situation. You can agree or disagree with it. No disrespect to you and sincerest appreciation for your contribution but I genuinely do not have the time to be indulging in debates. I...

At least not wothout soiling a lot more dhotis. A

We are not the state of Israel. They have carte nlanche immunity to do whatever they please with noncompromising support from the US and EU. Comparing Pakistan with Israel is a great fallacy. Secondly, ( and this remains my firm belief) the fact that we had 8-9 of their ACs in our sights...

This war of words will go on. If we were to remain allies with the US would we have been any better off?. US Pak alliance has been a bitter-sweet experience for Pakistan due to transactional nature of the US and more importantly,our understanding of the western mindset. Whereas alliance with...

I feel it will give a very wrong signal and disrupt Pak USSR relationship. I think for the forseeable future we should continue with the RD series instead asking the red bear for minor component manufacturing locally. If they refuse we may have a genuine excuse to go Chinese. A

Look forward to your input. A

The dynamics of what gets replaced will be changed if and when we get the J10Cs in number. I agree that PAF intends to keep the mirages in their niche role as a SOW platform, in which role it appears to be in a class of its own. PGs may well go earlier if upto 60 J10s join us Most Ps appear to...

So what you are implying is that thd TOT might help in evolving the engines that we have currently got ie RD93s. A

We can't wait to see these babies

When there has not been a single encounter? I had laid down the conditions. I don't think one should get over confident. The F16 is still a very potent killing machine with an enviable record. The J10 has not seen any such encounters so one should be careful in one's assessment. If this was not...

Look at all possibilities. Why would China-share its engines for an AC which will become its competitor? The engine however remains the weakest link of any Pak Turk project. Our Turk brothers say their cumulative experience wipl help them build an engine but that remains to be seen. If they...

Thank you for your post. Firstly I agree we should all stick to the thread. Secondly no think tank has powers to move posts. If you look at Messiach's post it specifically said PAF will need TOT for FADEC from Lyalca Saturn. Now that got me thinking if we get TOT for the FADEC can we get it on...

And I respect yours as well. However, there is a subtle difference between having realistic or unrealistic expectations. You always design a stealthy aircraft from the getgo. No matter how many stealth features you include, once you hang the weapons/ tanks on external hardpoints., that is gone...

Nothing is written in stone. All we can say is there has been close cooperation with TAI. No one at this moment in time knows what the scope of this cooperation is likely to be. We have roughly 8-10 years in which a lot will become clearer. We will most likely have subsidiary agreements which...

I only refer to the statement. I think if you were to hold this contest tomorrow the J10 will lose out. If you were to hold it 3-5 yrs from now the J10 will stand a chance to win . the experience of pilots on the platform is an important factor.

These are still block2s aren't they? So where will block 3 go??

There has been chatter that the PLAAF has shown the PAF a third design of a stealth plane. What this design is and how it looks is anybody's guess. A
