    Mid life upgrade of Zulfiqar class frigates

    That is absolutely correct, I'm not sure if you noticed, but Yarmooks are getting equipment from here and there, defensive equipment is being stripped from Tariqs and then installed onto them. Alongside this, missile integration costs are likely to be in the tens of millions, it is not as...

    Mid life upgrade of Zulfiqar class frigates

    because the money wasnt there, nor is there any urgency, you dont need a genius to tell you that war isnt on the cards and hasnt bee on the cards for a while, allowing for some form of complacency/relaxation of guard. Aside from that, the PNs main punch is the subsurface fleet anyway

    Mid life upgrade of Zulfiqar class frigates

    This isn't actually true, The PN is arming them, they are being prepared, i suspect PN dockyard is operating on a priority basis as funds are dry at the moment- hence the delay in the babur launch, since it is launched, ksew will then hand it over to PN to do its sensor and weapons fitting...

    Mid life upgrade of Zulfiqar class frigates

    You are all seemingly forgetting that the actual tender outlined by the PN included all of this. It was for a jet-powered LRMPA that can take on ISR, AEW etc. Its very clear the PN will seek MPA based AEW like they did with the p3 e2c hybrid they wanted to buy

    JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

    tbh, i dont think the jf-17 should be turned into anything. What i think is the way forward is focusing on one thing, we dont have enough money to diversify, what we need to do is identify an area and work on that, i.e missile tech. We could focus our institutions on development of very high...

    Pakistan Navy’s 2300 Tons OPVs launched by Damen

    Because the hulls are as cheap as chips. The cost is in the sensor fit. There is no hull as cheap as the damen ones in the PN. What platform in existence can do the same thing? What pipeline platform can do the same thing? The closest is the Yarmook, which Yarmook batch 2 is based off of anyways...

    Pakistan Navy’s 2300 Tons OPVs launched by Damen

    once again, the "opv" classification means nothing. There are OPV's capable of BMD and ones that have greater displacement than any PN ship. Just two units- for now. There is no difficulty in customization, Damen builds platforms like this, they are all going to be ffbnw to some extent, its...

    Mirages being turned into ew ac

    A bit off-topic here but if you've GaN based radars then why not consider upgrading your entire fleet of non-B52+ F-16s with them? Especially ADFs. Isn't Ozgur basically this. the US will just say no. But, the PAF will likely upgrade JF-17s with this, you can find my posts on a 'block 4'...

    Mirages being turned into ew ac

    no, not VS anything, just full stop, it's not enough, 90 mins is a very short time, I cant talk comparatively, but large, draggy pods will certainly decrease that further, it's just not the ideal platform or one even remotely suited for it. Id argue that the standoff jammers based off of bizjets...

    Mirages being turned into ew ac

    low range in terms of fuel. Pak has domestic GaN based radars anyway, thats not the issue, the issue with a jammer JF-17 is it just doesnt have the loiter time

    Mirages being turned into ew ac

    Post 1- its literally just ad revenue farm. Post 2- Technically, why not, there are some VERY small radars out there and they keep getting smaller, Infact, the first aircraft in the subcontinent to receive AESA radars were the IAF's Jaguars, which have TINY nosecones, these radars also designed...

    Turkiye's Minister of National Defense Guler: Agreement with Pakistan for KAAN is about to be signed

    PAF aimed for 110 F-16's, something which will probably be mirrored by KAAN yes, maybe even more airframes.
