PAF seem to be advertising some of their air-to-ground stand-off weaponry (Ra'ad, H-4) but are keeping very quiet about their latest air-to-air weaponry - the only AAMs we ever see on their fighters are Matra Magic 2 and AIM-9L, even during the recent tense period. Having said that, we never see...

Hafr-1 and 2 (Pakistan) - Jane's Air-Launched Weapons

They are already developing the twin-seat model which will be turned into a dedicated ground attack model, according to International Assessment and Strategy Center > Research > Chinese Dimensions of the 2007 Dubai Airshow

It was originally 6 Erieye when the order was first signed in ~2006, but they later reduced the order to 4 and signed up for 4 KJ-200 (a Chinese AEWC, PAF will call it "ZDK-03" ) as well. Some links for you to read: Pakistan Surmounts Sanctions To Revive Airpower - Defense News - talks about...

Thanks again for bringing us this info sir, Crescent Arrow is a good name. If they have other members of the Darter family then they will almost certainly have U-darter too and perhaps A-darter when it finishes development. Please forgive the skeptics sir, they clearly do not know of your...

Can I just ask, why did you name yourself after a non-stick cookware company?

Has that federal info minister been sacked yet? He's supposed to be representing the Islamic Republic of Pakistan...

Thank you for this information PShamim sir. Air Cdre MuradK has been telling us again and again that India's BVRAAMs are not a big deal, PAF has counters, us civilians don't know how advanced PAF's missile technology is, etc. I think PAF have had their AIM-9 Lima and Magic 2 missiles modified...

No problem buddy, send a message to MuradK (Pakistan Defence Forum - View Profile: Muradk) or x_man (Pakistan Defence Forum - View Profile: x_man), they'll sort you out with any info you need. Good luck.

Did they test the weapon over the sea in South Africa or in Pakistan? If they did test a BVRAAM, where is the proof that H-2 is this BVRAAM? Why were radars first put in aircraft? To find enemy aircraft. Why are radars upgraded? To improve the ability to find enemy aircraft. The upgrade...

Of course they could have tested BVRAAM(s), where is the evidence that H-2 and H-4 are BVRAAMs? Actually yes, they could have tested PGM over the sea. Test ranges on land are often protested against by civilians. Firstly, one of the main reasons ROSE I have good radars is PAF had no fighters...

Isn't it pointless to make a stealthy hull, add stealthy VL air defence then leave the anti-ship missiles in exposed box launchers? What VL AShM options would be available to the PN and what about stealthy CIWS options? Or am I going overboard with the stealth thing and VL air defence is nothing...

Seems to be a better solution than using a joystick to keep the target designated as in the PA's RBS-70.

If you can buy and operate 2 F-20 for 1 F-16 and 2 F-16 for 1 F-15, can we assume PAF can buy and operate 4 squads of J-10 for 2 squads of J-11? Would the cost justify the capabilities? J-10's airframe has some differences in the vertical stab., wing and canard shape to the Lavi and Chengdu...

An armchair cyber general calling a USAF officer an armchair cyber general? Now THAT is funny.

No mystery, they are glide bombs. More info: PAF adds new bombs to its arsenal -DAWN - Top Stories; December 18, 2003 Tecna Corporation: Defense Products and Technologies > Aerospace The South African Air Force - Raptor I (H-2) The South African Air Force - Raptor II (H-4?) Some people have...

The model behind the JF-17? I think it must be the FTC-2000 (JL-9):

My bad, I got mixed up. He knows I can't prove anything with concrete english language sources. This is pointless, I shouldn't have bothered posting. Please continue your China-bashing fest, fellow posters.
