Praise should be given where due, keeping own people interest first. Our current gov is so much in gratitude to US that they are not following up on cheaper purchase of oil and wheat from Russia which is how India managed to lower fuel prices despite global increase. Fuel might be still cheaper...

Pakistan doesnt have any animosity with the US, Musharaf had a third option to stay neutral but the higher ups saw an opportunity for US dollars/aid which for which only a fraction of the promised amount received so went beyond what was being asked to do. We could have just allowed US to have...

First need to have a strong economy where the gov doesnt need to borrow any money to run its affairs. Only then it would be practical.

Had Mirage F-1 been still in production post 1992 it would have been a good contender too. Its too much of a legacy fighter now but wonder why PAF never considered buying used M F1s while it was procuring used Mirage 3/5s since they had commonality and there are decently upgraded ones still...

PAF Museum gift shop in Karachi

There actually is a market potential for new F-5s, specifically the two seat variant, it not being in production was the basis for a lot of next gen trainer programs. This is a excellent aircraft for Iran and would fulfill its workhorse requirements while freeing up funds for a advanced top...

This is where Pakistan's indigenous Link 17 datalink comes in. It is supposed to be integrated among all three branches and collectively redistribute radar, drone and satellite information from the various origin platforms of all three branches...

"Pakistan contributed greatly to the J/F-7M program: although Pakistan did not purchase any F-7M and later returned all 20 F-7M's to China after evaluation to require China to provide a better fighter (which eventually resulted in F-7MP and F-7P), Pakistan did provide important support for F-7M...

PN is compensating for that via a strong submarine force. Also for deep sea air delivery of missiles the future Sea Sultans would be even more threatening than shore based JF-17s, because of the added loiter benefit.

PN is going from from a defensive posture to a offensive force. Thinking strategically this would give Pakistan a greater bargaining leverage. Imagine in any future conflict, while shore based missiles protect our own ports/seas, PN assets deployed deep to enforce a naval blockade of supplies...

PAF took delivery of PLAAF spec J-7s on lease till the F-7P was ready. Possibility that same approach be taken for J-10C till J-10CP is ready. If its a rush purchase the same approach is a possibility. But again it's speculation work and already stated that getting J-10CP so its a customized...

Some can be answered by common logic. 1) will j-10c fly from China straight over skurdu and on to chaklala? Or will they be carried in the belly of some y-20s and/or il-76 They will do a ferry flight on own. With IL-78s or other transports carrying spares and weapons. 2) what will be the...

Path clear for Bahria Town Egypt

IL-76s in general have a terrible availability rate. These upgrades should make our IL-78s more efficient. Ideal induction/replacement for PAF will be KC-390s as same aircraft would also be the ideal successor for the C-130s in PAF.

Creating southern Punjab will be a catch 22 situation for PTI. They want to do it, It has to be done but when done you will have strong PMLN majority in northern Punjab which would hurt their projects to gain more confidence of the people. While no doubts they will go through with it, its a...

We were expecting 2 JF-17B3s this year turned out to be 10-11

End of the T-129 saga

End of the T-129 saga

Been hearing that for years and I think will eventually happen. Masroor has high bird strike issues plus the commercial disposal of land would generate good money.

PTI Dharna: Election recount and corruption evidences not being pursued by relevant departments, legal channels being stalled because accused in power. PDM Dharna: We don't like IK. Only thing in common for both is dharnas have always been and will continue to be unsuccessful in demands. Only...
