I know you and I have disagreed over this issue. It remains my humble opinion that this might not be wholly possible. A. Is it technically possible to convert a 2 axis FBW into all axis FBW? A technical question to which I do not have ananswer. I cannot recall any aircraft that has done so. B...

The mirage sounds like the PAF's equivalent of the A10. Unliked by the AF till it found a niche and then all of a sudden taken over for the niche role. I think it is ideal for the A2G role and will be used for it. As to Cheetah modification my own feeling is PAF assessed rightly that even...

If you have denounced islam in a MUSLIM society then the punishment is death. So I would much rather take the 40-80 lashes as per different interpretations of the HADD than denouncement of islam and lose my Head. ONCE AGAIN , the Hadd is enforced in an iSLAMIC Society when the Sharia is enforced...

LEAVE THE SAUDIS TO THEIR OWN MECHINATIONS. What they do for their own country is their own business and they have not handed over their management to the Government of Pakistan and neither are we responsible for their foreign policy. Let us concentrate on the topic at hand

I dont think the engine has anything to do with FBW. "Fly-by-wire (FBW) is a system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires, and flight control...

Purely aesthetically the Rafale wins hands down. It is an amazingly beautiful plane.

Bhai No one loans/anybody anything without money or vested interests. Please rememeber that war in the Indo Pak context will nullify all these acquisitions. The lack of trust between the two will result in either no war or a terrifying Nuke exchange within days of initiation of hostilities. A

In addition to your post I would reiterate that the 4 decades of experience on the 16s, the scores of pilots who have had 100s of hours on the platform, the technical expertise for repairs and maintenance means the 16s are still the spearhead of our attack. This might change in 3-5 years but as...

May be the angle?

I think it defies the very logic of having figures on a website. If you are that concerned about hiding the basic figures then dont print them on the website. I agree with other posters that it makes a mockery of the whole system if your figures are messed up. I would rather they did not print...

The JFT is too small to be a stealth fighter. They will require a 140 kn engine to have enough space to house 4+2 missiles on the body plus have enough range to carry out its mission profile. I dont see that happenning on the JFT sized frame but the J10 sized frame might be enough. A The...

Which is why the current output of 12/year makes sense. A

Is the move temporary, ie visiting or more permanent. A

I want to go out on a limb and say that Imran Khan's latest visit to Russia, amongst other things, might be an ask for limited manufacturing of RD series in exchange for continuing to put it in the JFT. THE Chinese WS13 may be held as a bargaining chip to cajole the Russians into agreeing...

I fully agree with you. If you look at the last article on JFT, why would we be evaluating the engine and be on the lookout for an IRST and placement if we were not planning a further block? PAF has a history of exerting the maximum out of any programme, and given a Godsent opportunity like...

Great job. The irony is the dukaan dar still made money!

J10C has some ghairat. A

Make naqaab and jilbab compulsary for lady attenders. That aught to make them Concentrate a bit more. A

While I fully agree and support your point of view, there has been an increased western focus on all the faults within the Chinese system. This seems to point to an extension of western policy of bybrid warfare to exert pressure on the Chinese government. If there are faults and fully agree the...

Optics of international relationship. "We sent an envoy all the way to US to explain why our PM is going to Russia and we have no/intention to undermine your interests in the region." After this no one can turn around and say "we warned you and you still went". Optics are the essence of creating...
