What about the much hyped engine problem? Is it a problem at all or just an imagination by some here?

 

[TOPGUN]

How it was destroyed ? Enemy ground fire ?

Bomb exploded as it was on a terrorist op the pilot managed to save the aircraft and land it, later our boys repaired the aircraft and its back to normal flight status.

Issue is with export licenses. No problem with internal acquisitions.

That is most probably, bcuz majority are got free or subsidized via American aid to remain quite agisnt Israel as deal of 1.2 billion per year

Hi if they act on KSA advice for their defence hopefully LM will get additional contract to upgrade these f16 to some extent hopefully BLK 52 level Donald trump wins next time ( if he wins ) he might ask KSA to fund LM kind of industries
Thank you

Norinco GB-6 Glide sub-munitions despenser, it can fly upto 130kms. with variety of submunitions options,
Destroying an enemy airfield! Or wipe out enemy armoured Columns from stand-off Range. it can spread sub munitions over a wide target area. [emoji6] #JF17 https://t.co/YaLxuyHztW

They seem to have relatively straight forward options to expanding their fleet quite rapidly. PAF doesn't have the same support because of the F-16 / US debacle. Had PAF gotten some J-10s, they could easily boost numbers in an emergency from China.

I am more interested in knowing why exactly Pakistan Air Force has not opted for the J-10s? During Musharraf's era, there was growing interest in the aircraft. It cannot possibly be the engine, since the JF-17's powerplant is Russian, so that argument holds no weight at all.

Is the GB6 analogous to the CBU105?

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

Is the GB6 analogous to the CBU105?

It won't offer the CBU-105's guided submunition capability.

 

[AbsoluteEngineer]

It won't offer the CBU-105's guided submunition capability.

Does PAF has equivalent of BLU-114/B (Graphite Munition) with ability to knock out power grid? GB6 could offer a capability as a carrier to this kind of sub-munition with devastating impact on adversary's power grid.

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

It won't offer the CBU-105's guided submunition capability.

Anything China or Turkey has analogous to CBU 105?

cute!

 

[Thorough Pro]

That is why it is so important to have at least one or two common platforms with your biggest ally and that is why I am a big proponent of acquiring J10's instead of F-16's. The commonality of weapons between J10 and JF17 and in case of war we can easily loan 2/3 squadrons and use them in the war without any issues.

HI,

What you are not telling the readers is that modern fighter aircraft are a different breed---.

If china gave us the J20 on the day of war or if the US gave us the F22---we would not be able to do diddley with them---because it takes years to get familiar with modern 21st century aircrafts---.
