    The problem is not introducing newer partners. The problem is the engine. Turkey says it has a viable programme for engine-development set to mature inate 20s. The chinese engines will be matured by then as well. The rest of the hardware can be acquired the engine remains the major bugbear for...

    PAF speeds up fighter force modernisation with JF-17 Block III- Gulf News

    Hi TP. The information on the net has always been that the J31 has not got any support from the Chinese military and was a private SAC project. What is written is 2 projects were developed simultaneously and PLAAF chose J20. The SAC decided to develop J31 from its own resources and so the...

    PAF speeds up fighter force modernisation with JF-17 Block III- Gulf News

    I think there are some complexities here. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am writing from memory and some conjecture from my side so happy to be corrected. The J35/31 project till recently has been a private venture. That means the Chinese had not committed any resources to the project...

    Petition against PM Imran’s marriage dismissed

    That is a totally different matter and if iddat has not been completed then marriage is not allowed, But the problem is no one is saying that. All sorts of drivel is being presented to raise an issue which is none of anyone 's problem. A

    Petition against PM Imran’s marriage dismissed

    Man will you guys leave him alone. Whe the ayat of khula-were revealed in 2-3rd yr hijra, there is no provision on whether the woman is a mother or not or the reasons for the khula. This lady for whatever reasons took khula-from her husband and then after her iddat accepted a proposal for...

    Pakistan's Artillery Upgrade Discussions

    People on an open forum are allowed to express an opinion based on what they know. @iLION12345_1 has merely exercised his right and when questioned has presented the reasons for the opinion. As explained earlier Pakistan's choice of a weapons system is not only based on the best in the world but...

    Pakistan-Turkey 4 Milgem Ada Class Corvettes Contract - Construction started

    It does not need to be any faster than what it is. You develop your industry based on the demand. The reason the Chinese are so quick is because their navy has a huge requirement for build up and all of their produce is mostly absorbed locally. No one can produce ships as quickly as the Chinese...

    JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

    PAF will possibly have 11-12 platforms to show by march, and if lucky 1 squadron. However since it will still be in testing the best you might see is a flight of 4. PAF will not do a demo with Block3 just yet.50 block3s is a pipe dream and the writer probably him/herself did not know his/her...

    JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

    The idea while good in principle has many issues. Firstly fitment of hardware is a complex issue and in many cases will not be allowed by the providers. Then there are issues with fitting space as the nose cone may not have enough space to take the radar for instance. You will then have to find...

    Pakistan's Artillery Upgrade Discussions

    Have you gone bonkers or something? No one is biased. However people are allowed to express an opinion which reflects their experiences/knowledge. The Chinese have made substantial progress in their armaments industry and some of their products are good. In other areas they still lag behind. You...

    Pakistan's next generation national warships: Jinnah Class Frigates

    There may be clauses to the TOT requiring that we buy material from Chinese sources. The excuse would be maintenence of guarantees of quality. Often such clauses which we never read but are intentionally put in contracts are what are the reason local industry flounders. That along with a couple...

    Should General Bajwa get another extension?

    When Bajwa has openly said he is not going for an extension, why has this topic even arisen????. I think it is high time PA had a newer leadership carry things forward. I agree with posters that as a General rule of thumb, extensions are a bad thing and in extreme circumstances, not more than 1...

    Ukraine Delivers First Upgraded IL-78 To The PAF

    Great joke and enjoyed it. However joke aside do we know what upgrades have been carried out on the ILs.? Help appreciated. Would also give an indication of how PAF wants to proceed with upgrades to other platforms of the type. A

    PAF conducts national air defence exercise along with Army air defence command.

    Sorry Allama, I would actually say that your analagy is incorrect as that is exactly what happens sometimes. However I fully agree with you on the need for posters to concentrate on the topic at hand and not on their gripes about the armed forces , regarding which there are separate threads...

    Lata Mangeshkar passed away.

    I have a problem with your post and I mean it with the deepest of respect and consideration for your right to have an opinion. On a world stage, my most humble opinion is that talent should be separated from Personality and religious beliefs. We have had people like Prof. Abdul Salam, and Faiz...

    Pakistan's next generation national warships: Jinnah Class Frigates

    I think there have been a lot of gaps in PN knowledge base over the years. They tried fitting weapons on the type 21 and encountered fracturing of the surface and could not do so. With the Agostas it is wrong to say they did not get anything from the TOT. A lot of CAD software and its...
