Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Moderator moved this here by mistake also. It was in reply to a discussion on the previous thread. I did not complain as the heavy bomber / light CAS asset impact on the psychological side of war had a slight relevance to what we intend to discuss later. Thanks...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Thanks but all the numbers are wrong. The massive amount of mis-information on the F-20 on-line threw me for a whole year. The material I have posted is the likely genuine Northrop marketing material (and even doctored versions of that are available on-line). I...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem It was very nice of Manticore to create a thread for me. These were very nice graphics put together by him and were one of the first striking things I saw, when I found out about this site (last year, I think). However, beware (through no fault of the very...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Thank you, brother. From what I have been told, the PAF pilots were given an option for more missiles or maximum fuel; they chose fuel. Let's examine this below: First of all, please note that the smallest-sized formation you fly is a two-ship, and there might...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Our analysis of the more likely JF-17 combat mission profiles has concluded. However, before MK posts pictures such as for the following payload validation flights and asks questions on them, we will for exercise's sake, calculate mission radii for them: JF-17...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem The final three mission profiles we are going to evaluate for the JF-17: --- Mission Profile VII - Close Air Support [CAS]: Internal Fuel + Two 1,100 Liter Drop Tanks + Targeting Pod + Four 600 pound Precision Guided Bombs + Two PL-5EII 28,000 pounds Takeoff...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Agree entirely with your assessment, brother. However, my understanding is that a primary public duty of armed forces chiefs (or the relevant ministries of defense and state in better-developed civilian-controlled polities) is to keep the morale of the people up...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem --- Mission Profile IV - Modern Medium Altitude Strike (Precision Strike/Battlefield Air Interdiction/Deep Air Interdiction): JF-17 Block I/II (14,500 pounds Aircraft Empty Weight) Internal Fuel + Two 1,100 Liter Drop Tanks + Targeting Pod + Two 1,100 pound...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem We will design the combat mission profiles for the JF-17 this weekend, Insha'Allah. However, the PAF requirement questions were mostly answered in the replies to MK's queries on the F-16. Kindly read them below; we won't be re-hashing the debate here...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Mission Wedge was incorrectly set up here. Please note the correction below: Mission Profile III - Long-Range Interception (/Air Superiority/Fighter Escort): F-16C Block 50/52 (19,700 pounds Aircraft Empty Weight) Internal Fuel + Two 370 Gallon Drop Tanks + Four...

from Wikipedia: "The possibility that Adolf Hitler had only one testicle has been a fringe subject among historians and academics researching the German leader. The rumour may be an urban myth, possibly originating from the contemporary British military song "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball"...

Can he reverse the ball as well?

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem People always take the wrong conclusions from two case studies, the Mitsubishi F-2 and the LCA Tejas. Lockheed Martin advised Japan on not enlarging the F-16 to make the F-2 design. What Japan ended up with was a heavier, twice-as-expensive aircraft with inferior...

Load of Hogwash. Author has no idea about fighter design.

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Brother, just talking about it the other day. The Sahih Hadith (narrated by Um al Momineen Aisha Siddiqa Radhi Allah u Unha) I remember discourages in inviting them into your house to mix with your women folk. Please note that Muslim laws were for primarily...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem My understanding was that the primary damage caused is by low-flying aircraft/missiles hitting the tethering cables or the balloon itself and crashing into the ground due to loss of trajectory control and/or damage to control surfaces. Impact fuses will probably...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem The B-1B is a strategic bomber but guess what the USAF mostly uses it for (and loves it in that role) - Close Air Support

From Hush Kit: November 21, 2016 The Rafale and Peter Collins Image: Dassault I was sad to hear that Peter Collins passed away this Summer. Collins flew Harrier GR3s with the RAF, Sea Harriers in the Falklands on exchange with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, and the VAAC Harrier (which was...
