do you see a similarity between Denel Targos & the Turkish SOM

[Quwa]

do you see a similarity between Denel Targos & the Turkish SOM

SOM is unique from most ALCMs in that it's smaller and lighter. I hope Pakistan develops a similar type of ALCM ('Ra'ad Lite') for use via JF-17s as long-range conventional SOWs.

what’s wrong with simply getting the SOM off shelf?

We have a lot of the same kind of tech via Ra'ad, it's matter of making a smaller version. This way, we'd have a turnkey supply of these light ALCMs.

Spice lookalike.

It looks like the prototype of the Sajeel PGB they developed for the UAE.

So mirage needs first overhaul at 1800 next one after another 2000 another one ... averaging about 2000 hours total life 8000 hours

Jf needs overhaul after ?? 1200 the next one another 1200 ? Or the cycle is tbd for now ?

Also the concept of overhaul is. different its inspections starting at 300 hours , 600, 900 and 1200 is major one ?

 

[Ali_Baba]

my understanding is that the total life of the JF17 is 4,000 hours. where did you get 8,000 from?

The "total life" is an interesting concept.

 

[khanasifm]

Analysis conducted by a EU firm with paf concluded fuslage life for mirage 3/5 is 8000 hours and wing 2250 hours but can open up and totally rebuild wing which is what paf is doing

Last Paf article in Afm on mirages 50 year

Jf-17 initial life is 4000 but with time extension like f-16 will extend it

F-7 total life is 26-2800 hours now getting slep
