Suffa, no offence, but I'd advice you to please preview your posts before posting them. They contain so many spelling and grammatical errors that its hard for one to concentrate on what the post is actually trying to say. Thanks.

Yes that is the way to go forward. Apart from working for the PAF, PAC should also concentrate on the viability of its operations for commercial use. The Boeing deal would certainly boost its confidence and standing among internationally recognized firms. It should integrate more in to the...

I think videos should be put up in some sort of a video gallery and not in thread posts. It is makes the thread open slowly and at times the video doesn't run. I'm sure some other people might be having this problem as well.

Well in the Spruance Class, the VLS tubes are designed particularly to handle Tomahawk cruise missiles in use by the US forces and given the fact that Babur resembles the Tomahawk in more than one way; it would be interesting to note what PN technicians learn from the VLS tubes and apply to...

Its not just about maintainance. Bomber aircraft are somewhat like an aircraft carrier in one's navy; they need protection which is provided to them by escorting fighter jets. Pakistan does not have a large enough airforce to conduct bombing raids with fighter jets accompanying bombers deep...

I think its better we keep the mid-air refuelling option open and on the ground we should establish more temporary airfields (dirt strips or a little better than that) that can be brough in to use in times of hostilities. Some more permanent airfields should be brought up in areas farther away...

That is what I said. SSG units and regular army units contain 'dedicated' snipers whose job is only to snipe at enemy positions and nothing else. And yes its a two man team, the observer and the sniper himself. In certain SSG missions, the observer is taken out to lessen presence on the...

The reality check for Pakistan is that it is no China or India. It has to try and come back to its founder's, Jinnah's vision of a welfare state from its current 'national securty state' status. It has to collaborate with bigger powers to earn favors and thrive in the process...

How does this last post relate to this thread?

The thing is, with the LCA project well on its way, the Indians got news of Jf-17 and how it would be more advanced than its Mig-21s and other mid-tech fighters; so they decided on reveiwing the LCA stats to bring it on par with the Jf-17. Thats 'one' of the reasons why the project is...

Yes that might be the logic behind acquiring the old Spruance Class destroyer. To learn more about its ability to fire cruise missiles and with some critical thinking and innovation, devise ways of launching ballistic missiles from sea-borne vessels.

Yes they are. They're the Daphne Class subs renamed by PN to Hangor Class.

Musharraf decided to go slow on F-16s because of political repurcussions, not because of finances. His political standing would've taken a bad hit if he had continued with the purchasing. $5b has already been earmarked for the PAF's modernization. When I talked about 'finances...

Did I miss something here? How did 'motorway refuelling' come in to an aviation refuelling thread??

I hate to do this but a lot of people on this forum go on to make claims that they cannot back up with facts and/or statistics based on credible sources. Lets see now, Thunder, what on earth are you going on and on about F-16s being 'somewhat' aid to us and all? I thought I clarified...

Currently, an agreement is being negotiated up on which would enable DP World to take charge of Gwadar port's operations and manage it.

It doesn't depend on just the missile being customized for naval use, but also on the capabilities of the vessels in the naval fleet. So far no PN vessel can accomodate ballistic missiles on board (cruise yes but not ballistic) as far as I know.

Well depends on which side of the fence one wants to be on. There are certain countries with good arms export laws which means they just don't sell because they want to sell and make money.

Finances are there, just like they are there for the PAF; which is why all this is happening. The induction of missile boats, design work on new sub, etc. What we ought to do is use those finances more efficiently and on effective systems. Given your chain of thought, I think then all...

Thanks for repeating what was already stated in the article(s). Anyways, so far these 'new' Missile Attack Crafts sound similar in features and capabilities to the 'Hamina Class' missile boats of the Finnish Navy which, if it turns out they are influenced by or a result of PN...
