@All
Radar. We have technical assisstance.

I think she was commenting about the platform not the Radar ....

@messiach ..... plz clarify

 

[aliyusuf]

Radar. We have technical assisstance.

So the AESA radar that will equip the JF-17 Block-III is made locally with foreign technical assistance? Just requesting you to make it crystal clear for all of us. As this is truly a big news for us. And if true then a moment to rejoice.

Thanks.

Major foreign technical assistance.

Would it be right to expect our NGF to have a locally developed AESA? Also, any idea how long before we are able to offer the JFT with local AA missiles - both WVR and BVR?

 

[aliyusuf]

Major foreign technical assistance.

Thank you Ma'am, you have certainly shared a very very significant news with all of us. A major milestone has been achieved in our brief aviation technology progress. Albeit with major foreign assistance. Had to start somewhere.

 

[Maxpane]

OK i would love to believe it but until i don't find any reasonable evidence or some PAF official making such statement, i won't believe it.
