A quick question. Did the South Africans do any work to alter the lack of wiring for the wings weapons bay. If so they might have wing designs and jigs which could be bought. I am just throwing it out there but these things are beyond my knowledge base. Help/ correction will be greatly...

I just fail to see the logic of it. What is the thinking behind this move? Please advise. A

Delusional rant not worthy of a response. Welcome to my ignore list, something which I should have done a long tome ago. A

You meant Albatross NG? Please advise. Regards A

Perhaps because in Chinese- better still in @Beast Language, anything that does not result in putting anything/ everything Chinese on a padestal tentamounts to anti Chinese rhetoric and therefore merits a response whether the knowledge base is there or not. The 054 missiles and their limitations...

@PanzerKiel. Can you update us on the stage at which the fencing is both in KP and Baluchistan if possible please. A

Regarding Ayub, he was disciplined and removed from service for migling with the political elite contrary to the orders of the COAS. He was brought back by Iskender Mirza so technically again he was already tainted. Regarding the political machinations we have the politicians to blame as well...

There needs to be a process. The problem is the selction process by the PM is dependent on the whims of the PM. I fhink your example is a mixed bag. If Kakar And Shareef were good ( I think we need to reappraise Shareef as there were potentially more better people around) then Musharraf and Zia...

The Turkish ventures are dependent on provision of engines which are ITAR free. This remains a bugbear for acquisition of Turkish platforms. PAA has been stung badly by the T129 fiasco to be drawn in unless: A. The Turk brothers are successful in manufacturing engines in house within the next...

If PAF does acquire it, the capability should be kept closely under wraps as exposure will take out the element of surprise in any encounter.

Thank you one and all for the discussion. I have a question. We are assuming a capability based on a picture which we cannot see. Our current knowledge base tells us there are possibly no single engined small platforms which are capable of performing the said function. Even as a single engined...

There is nothing wrong with having a quadroca instead of a troica. However, the scope of this involvement its limitations and extent should again be defined and entrenched within the constitution. Otherwise every politician will turn into a tyrant. My 2 paisas worth. A

Thank you for your post. I will again say we need a transparent process which is well entrenched within the system so government and outside interference is avoided. If you listen to Haider Mehdi he pointed out a lot of flaws with the appointment of both RS and QJB especially the later. A lot of...

Please remember this os not a fish market we are dealing with but our countryPakistan. I understand the process of appointment of Army chief. However Faiz Hameed is 6th down the line. There are 4-5 capable and more senior people ahead of him. IK should do what is right rather than a tit for tat...

Does anyone have any ideas abkut how the earlier Damen corvettes have been kitted out? Any news will be appreciated. I think this would be a frunch issue as PN'S earlier forays into integration of weapons have not been successful. A successful result would signify overcoming of this hurdle. A

But what he is saying carries weight. The muslim world led by Turkey and later along with Pakistan needs to overcome this hurdle and produce the engines in house. It maybe practical to produce engines on one site but divide work at multiple participating sites to save costs. This model was what...

Maulana Saheb. Aik moadibana sawal hai. Yeh paisay kahan say aain gay. Yaar we are on the verge of defaulting due to pay 25 billion next June which we do not have, we are going bhikari style with our pants down to the IMF or any lender who will help us. And you want 052s and Fremms. Other than...

I doubt it. You would need hea y modifications to fit cooling system for AESA and I doubt you have the space for it. With local build AESAs technically possible but practically not viable in my humble opinion. Whatever you do the M3/5s are 50s design with its own limitations which can not be...

Thank you for the update. Who do you think should have been the ACM in your opinion. Haseeb was too junior and the Indian incursion did not show him in very good light. So who else do you think was more deserving. To me at least he does not look very impressive in the ACM role but looks can...

Thank you for your post. I understood you fully the first time. If I remember correctly the appointment of the Current chief was not a Bajwa's behest but at the request of the outgoing Air chief . I think he happened to be the senior most officer in the AF so IK went with advice rendered by the...
