@Windjammer Hello sir. This is my first ever post quoting you. Therefore, I hope that I do not end up sounding like a buffoon in asking/assuming that PAF intends to supplement it's viper fleet by placing yet an other order for Block 52s in future and, later upgrading them to "V" standard? And...

Hi, I do not have much to add to the discussion except raise Viper101's POV about Chinese developing J-18 to get away from JH-7s and, commend the OP on starting a very pertinent and educational debate. Thanks and God bless you all.

In my humble view Vipers are ONLY viable if we get them in V version. If not and, those 8 jets on offer are Block 52+ then, hopefully they come with AESA radars. And if even that's not happening then, I simply fail to see the advantage(s) that F-16 has over Su-35. Just my 2 cents. . .

I've questions regarding PAF's plan to go for 5th Gen: platform while skipping advanced/semi-stealth/stealthy 4.5++ Gen: aircraft and, I'd really appreciate if senior members can ans and alleviate as much ambiguity as possible. Questions are as under; What's the viable no 5th Gen: aircraft that...

PAF also has excellent relationship with Selex. Why haven't they sought electronics and Avionics suite from them? Why France only?

Thank you @Madali for kind words and @Horus for breaking the news. After reading your post the only emotion I had was happiness and, with a smile I thanked Almighty Allah. God bless us all :-)

It's not even a parade ground as per say. Rather a PUBLIC PLACE built for trade exhibitions etc. Occupying it and then, planning to permanently station 111 Brigade -which has historically been the key to Army take over- the omens certainly aren't good. Or at least won't be viewed with any love...

Shahbaz Airbase is in Jacobabad, Sindh. Not in Balochistan. Our dear friend Alan might have confused the geography a bit I guess :-)

I hate these articles when they abstractly imply the "Shia" uprise or sectarian violence/divide in Pakistan IF, we were to intervene in Yemen. Although, I'm not saying we should. As a matter of fact, I'm a strong advocate of neutrality as Houthi backlash in Yemen is majorly due to 40 plus years...

Indeed. Yet it does. And as per yesterday's news, the so called Houthi(Shia) troops -being funded and supported by Iran- had taken over the presidential palace along with the capital itself. So any talk of consequences is far fetched in my humble opinion. And to further add insult to injury...

In a way, same could be said of Pakistan in Iran since they're actively supporting the Houthis in any and every way. No?

A very positive development indeed. Let's hope positive and a fruitful outcome of His Excellency"s visit. Fingers crossed! This is the diplomatic role that Pakistan should be playing and, thankfully is playing.

April fools joke. Let's hope it doesn't get out of hand on PDF today :cheesy:

Hello Tay. . . Great to see you brother. How are you doing? It's truly a great feeling that it's you who happen to reply me just like my first ever quarry/post you addressed on this forum :-). Although I'm sorry for my late reply to your ever so informative ans. Now let me start by first...

Hello all respected members. Hope everyone is doing well. I was hoping to gain a better understanding of what defines an air superiority fighter and, why Pakistan chooses multirole over air superiority fighter? Furthermore, what encompasses avionics suite? An elaborate and detailed ans will be...

What's a next Gen: tank? What attributes a tank has to have to be called Next Gen?

What was the name of the ongoing S.Korean effort to build their own indigenous 5th Gen Fighter aircraft? Any chance of Pakistan partnering with them or contributing or cooperating in development of 5th gen technology to be used in Thunder?

I'm not intimately aware of Indian Constitution but after the 18th amendment, the constitution of Pakistan grants the autonomy to Provinces to enter into such accords with public or private enterprise(s) of both, domestic as well as foreign origin. Since India is more mature and flourishing...

LOL! Good one :).

@Contrarian, if what you say indeed proves right -extension of pipeline from Jalandhar to Lahore- then, its a contract either between the two Punjabs or Punjab and India (Provinces can make such deals after the 18th amendment). And it will strictly be for northern Punjab including the center or...
