Seeing our track record with the TTP, this might be a blessing for the PTI.

I have a hunch that the SSB might push for a single-engine fighter with an MTOW of 16-19 tons for carrier operations and, potentially, a lighter-weight complement to the MMU. The development of the TR Motor turbofan (120-130 kN) would be a key enabler to such a project. Moreover, I don't know...

They'll build plots in those regions. Problem solved. This can only happen if the leaders on each side had the intellectual capacity to envision, design, and implement such a plan. If they can't keep things going with the combined resources of all these provinces, then I will bet you, any...

It's a delicate issue because we need a disciplined rank-and-file. Let's say, hypothetically, Pakistan comes under the control of the ideal leadership. Wouldn't you want them to be at the helm of a disciplined army? I would. The key here is to have a source of reference that sets red lines that...

If the PAF wants a supersonic-cruising ALCM, it can acquire the HD-1A from China (just as the PN bought CM-302s for the Tughril-class FFG). A combination of the Taimor and Ra'ad-2 subsonic ALCMs (300-600 KM), AZB-V glide bombs (200 KM), and possibly HD-1A (290 KM) would give the JF-17 a...

I don't know about that pic specifically, but the JF-17 will get ALCM integration; definitely with Block-3, possibly Block-2 and B.

I think the alignment with the feudal class (i.e., an elite created by the British) was a toxic blow to the cause. The Muslim Empowerment movement fell apart after the Khilafat Movement fell, and we ended up with 2 polarized sides: Muslim League and the Maulana Azad crew. Sadly, both sides...

You need special zoning permits in London for that.

PML-N and PPP types will start calling the IMF, "Imran Monetary Fund" soon.

Indeed, the Chinese and Russians are driven by material gain first and foremost. The West, while also driven by material gain, is also concerned about shaping the world to run a certain way. To get to that point, they'll take a financial hit in the short term for long-term gain: aid programs...

One reason why I suspect the HD-1C could be on the cards (despite the CM-302 purchase) is that the Jinnah-class frigate has a 2x4 configuration (at least on the brochures), and it too is called "P-282." ...and this is the configuration of the HD-1C...also 2x4: Plus, the HD-1C has a direct...

I'd argue that there could've been a foreign policy interest in supporting Ukraine. For decades, the Russians have sold arms to India and, as a result, have contributed against Pakistani security interests. So, actively and openly supporting Ukraine does, technically, fall in line with our...

Actually, the PN Chief confirmed that the Tughril-class FFG is armed with the CM-302. I mean, doesn't change the fundamental point (that their munitions programs are Chinese-based), but I'm starting to doubt whether the "P-282" designation still refers to an ASBM. It's a weird choice for the...

It's worth noting that the elites in Pakistan aren't the same ones who led the land at the time of the Arabs, Delhi Sultanate, or Mughals. Those elites were killed off by the British and replaced with tier-2 and tier-3 people. Those guys will do whatever it takes to get power.

tbh, I think Turkiye will procure the Eurofighter Typhoon. Doing so would give the British government more urgency to release technology and IP for the MMU as there's a multi-billion-dollar fighter deal on the line. The T3 is also a good strike-capable platform.

So...are we guessing that the P-282 is a locally-built variant of the CM-400AKG or SY-400?

I think the negotiations are themselves a sign that Ukraine will eventually get fighter aircraft and improved ground-based air defence systems.

tbh if that's the reason the PAF is throwing around, then it's copium. Fine, Grade AAA Pakistani Copium. Toasted. Pind-packaged. Imported. @VCheng
