You guys may very well be correct. But sources in Pakistan are talking about them. Wonder what they are hearing is correct or not about TVC

Good posts above. Some changes in J-10b as compared to J-10A also include: TVC engine CFTs More advanced Radio communication equipment necessitating another anttenna AESA Radar (Probable) still not confirmed Optical Tracking system Laser Range Finder IRST sensor Increase in tail above...

India tried to block RD-93 and failed. Now it has once again attempted to block further increase in the thrust of RD-93 engine arguing that if the thrust (AB) is increased from 83 kn to 90 kn, its performance will match with that of IN Mig-29K/KUB . Watching all this China has been working on...

There has been very good news coming out about the number of JF-17 produced and additional units from China. What I am confused about is the introduction of newer avionics and weapons impact in the TWR. I know for sure hat the work is in progress to upgrade the engine either by installing a new...

Production of 26 JF-17 completed at Kamra PAF completes production of 26 JF-17 Thunder aircraft ISLAMABAD, Aug 9 (APP): The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has completed production of 26 JF-17 Thunder aircraft at Pakistan Aeronautical complex Karma so far during a period of two years. A senior PAF...

Hope they are used for the reasons they were acquired for. Pakistan has a history of using assetts not meant for. More than half of Police forced is used for dinatorories security and escorts. You will not believe that the ambulances at Jinnah hospitals were once used to get Nihari from Saddar...

Bhai! I really do not know about the canards. But I know for fact that China acquired one of the leading composite manufactuting company. Having access to it, we may see it in future as this aircraft further evolves.

While we all know that J-10B will have a rampless inlet and the new DSI, other changes are being talked about in Pakistan Air Force Circles. Change to DSI has resulted in reducing weight by 180 kg. Others changes they have mentioned and I cannot confirm them besides the known DSI include, an...

We need to be realistic. I do not think that China has 50 aircraft stashed some where in a roon and ship them in a week. It may realistically take at least 6 months if not more to produce 50 copies.

That is funny. Indians are in the same league. They call Thunder "Bandar". But they forget that by calling it Bandar , they are acknowledging it to be the Hanuman Devta which it will vary well prove to be against them

And if you read closely, it is for the basic unit. I am sure it will not fly in India. I agree this could be rubbish though reported widely by news outlets.

Khan Saheb, In this instance, the statement was made by senior Chinese military leaders and not the Pakistanis.

I think that nothing will come out of it. This may very well be a package deal offered and F-35 is only one part of it. God knows what the other things are in the package but they may come with a price which India may not be willing to pay. Then another party to this deal will be DOD. They must...

Relations between Pakistan and USA are deteriorating by the day and have become pretty nasty. Super Power US has started to engage in Tit for Tat policy against USA. After Pakistan put restrictions on US national.s free movement, US threatened the same and Pakistan caved in today and lifted the...

S10 No one has claimed that he sat in J-10B cockpit. Pakistan was interested in the J-10 but with a lot of changes. Pakistan called it FC-20. They were never interested in the J-10A variant. FC-20 changes were incorporated and the result is j-10B This argument is looking more and more like a...

Here is an article from Chinesemil. security blog. It provides details on several deals between Pakistan and China. What is really interesting that it mentions that Pakistan was interested in FC-20, an export version of J-10B and also about the 6 AIP submarinesI t That is one of the reasons that...

Notice the fixed probe

I think Fatman and others have answered this question before. But here again it means: 1.Surface Arm 2. Submarine Force 3. Naval Air Arm 4.Naval Marines and special forces (SSGN)

A fixed probe will have a minimul effect on the RCS, specially when the aircraft is loaded with external weaspons/systems. why would they put a retractable probe which will increase the cost, the weight, the maintenance and the design complexity of the system. Also, where will a JF-17 have the...

Cloud1018, Many are aware that I was part of the business development team for F-16s at General Dynamics Corporation but G.D> had no control of the decisions made by US Government. It was always a changing situation as to what would eventually be on the table until the last minute. General...
