Hi all. I have decided to open this thread to track and discuss Dissimilar air combat training (DACT) Exercises where the JF-17 has been involved. While on that thought I find it odd that PAC and CATIC, for all their marketing efforts are not leaking more information on such exercises.

Can someone please help translate this? Thanks in advance.

Was going through the Russian export weapons catalogue here: RosOboronExport and can across this below page. For the first time I have seen the marketing guys separate missile performance by target type. We see it a lot for the radar but not the missile. I am assuming here that beyond 50km the...

I have been thinking of missile ranges and speeds and how these factor into a fight and realising how speed/energy means survival. I have tried some rough calculations using a PL-9 as an example. I am not claiming this to be correct but this is my logic and seeking discussion. The low...

Some data for different countries: INSS -

Longer range and more reliable missiles are coming along, and sooner or later, BVR will be the norm. High off-bore missiles also becoming standard, there will be less need for high-G turns to point your nose and shoot. AEW planes are a hive of long range, high power sensor and guidance systems...

... someone help and be kind enough ... please, please, please! ... ... :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall:

A quick question: If you have a fully qualified F-7PG pilot and you need him to start flying a JF-17, approximately how long should the conversion take? Roughly? I am assuming the theory is just going through the differences between the planes, then a few simulator hours, then onto the new...

We discuss aircraft radar cross sections and say the Gripen, Eurofighter, Rafale, etc have radar cross sections below one. We then discuss the “fact” (???) that putting any external loads on these planes suddenly increases the radar cross section several times fold. Considering that...

We have here and other forums threads discussing radars as primary sensors. However, with LO and VLO planes, IRST systems are getting more and more prominent as plug-and-play pods or as integrated systems that are designed and built as part of the aircraft from the start. Lets look and discuss...

Using pixels I have taken two JF-17 side views and estimated the diameter of the radar dome/cover. I got 850mm from one photo and 880 from another. Here is how: I cropped the photo so I more or less capture the height = 4.77m You will notice this gave me 303 pixel 303 pixels for...

Is this a J-7/F-7 or a J-8? Thanks.

... ... to understand its capabilities and limitations. I appriciate MKI and MKK are different somewhat but I believe the PLAAF will/could/do let PAF "strategists" "feel" the Flankers. ... ... Just a theory.

I took this photo today at 14:30 GMT as the plane was overflying Windsor castle, approaching Heathrow.

I don’t know much about how this website operates but I would like to suggest that some factual pages be set-up and maintained outside the forum. I don’t know if I am the only one but sometimes the forums feed on rumors and misinformation. I would like to suggest, if possible, that pages be...
