    Zain Khan & Air Marshal (R) Masood Akhtar | Tactical Talk

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem I don't doubt he was probably a good pilot or administrator, but he talks a lot and does not say much - comes off seeming rather vacuous. Maybe trained that way to not reveal anything under interrogation by a talk show host. I wouldn't put much stock in his claims...

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Thank you and sorry for ending the discussion. Please note points 1 and 3 above, and apply them to air-combat scenarios as well (both Beyond-Visual-Range and Dogfighting). Coupling a Helmet-Mounted-Display/Sight with Active-Electronically-Scanned-Array Radar...

    Vixen-1000E AESA with IRST showcased at IDEAS

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Brother, you will get us both thrown out of this thread. Helmet-Mounted-Displays/Sights let you: 1. keep your head up during combat and increase situational awareness by displaying information such as thermal imagery, maps, and other data not projected on the...

    Should PAF be looking at EJ200 for Thunder

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Not as much aerodynamics-related - of course, you need a supersonic capable wing and airframe. You need a turbojet or very low-bypass (0.2) turbofan first, with the proper metallurgy and temperature handling ability. Proper inlets second. Very high dry thrust...

    Vixen-1000E AESA with IRST showcased at IDEAS

    plus the required software and electronics on the missile to process the data and implement the appropriate course guidance and maneuvering. That is why only the AIM-9X Block II has the capability you mentioned, not the original Block.

    Vixen-1000E AESA with IRST showcased at IDEAS

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem @Oscar 's field here. My own understanding was that Lock On After Launch (LOAL) capability was also required such as the AIM-9X Block II has but not the AIM-9M (even for the before-launch case you mentioned). "Testing work on the AIM-9X Block II version began in...

    Vixen-1000E AESA with IRST showcased at IDEAS

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Thank you for the clarification. I should copy-and-paste this everywhere also. Could you clarify on the myth of the PAF F-16C/Ds being limited from flying / targeting deep inside India, or the Saudi F-15s being limited against Israel. Thank you Hifz u kum Allah

    Vixen-1000E AESA with IRST showcased at IDEAS

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Oh, I advocate only buying a few more F-16As and getting them MLU'd (upgraded) in Turkey plus sticking with JF-17 development and production (the EW suites, AESA, IRST, HMD, HOBS capabilities being discussed for the JF-17 added to the plane's maneuverability...

    JF-17's ferry and combat ranges

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Had an excellent question on another thread why the aircraft in the first picture above was so dirty. Since this was a question very germane (relevant) to this thread and specially the unspoken question answered above, we will briefly look at the why of the dirt...

    JF-17 (2P29) arrives in Pakistan

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Part of the reason is the the angle of the ambient sunlight and the consequent need for under-exposure and shadow-lightening in this photo. Arsalan might know for sure on this point. Most PAF planes are maintained spick-and-span. However, this model is clearly one...

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Forgive my empty reply but your point cannot be repeated often enough. Maybe I should copy it somewhere and keep pasting it all over the military forums. Thank you for being a sane voice of reason. Humbly yours, Hifz u kum Allah

    Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions.

    Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Thanks for the great share brother. Any pictures of the PL-12G available on the web? Can't seem to find any. It seems the Pl-12D et. al. will be no-shows - US seems to be moving to dual-pulse and away from ramjets also. On an aside, gambit must be having a...
