Tahir Rafique Butt: 'New aircraft, new capability'

[Luftwaffe]

Means j-10 is still alive..yeh cheez

Not it means J-10 is history he is concentrating on Future Thunder Blocks.

He is saying no money no J-10 thus China has not offered any loans or there is going to be no arrangement from Chinese side...

 

[VelocuR]

Nothing new, not surprise.

Defense secretary and additional defense secretary told the parliament One Erieye lost.

Chief said, 1 ZDK lost. But ZDK isn't at minhas. They are at karachi.

Simple case of editorial error.

JF-17 surely has PAF excited. Its pleasing to read that PAF's prime focus is on a home grown solution rather than on overpriced toys.

K-8P induction is also a satisfying aspect. I'm glad to know that for the first time in history PAF would be using 3 Pakistani aircrafts in its service as a whole.

L-15 is in development so its 'wait and see'.
J-10B is all but scrapped as far as i read.

F-16ADF are being used for 'transition'.
F-16MLU-MIII going smoothly.
PAF happy with ZDK-3.

Does jf-17 block 2 have night vision strike capability? Does block 1 have it? Why PAF only uses F-16 to target TTP in N.Waziristan?

No , keep the nation in dark . Its nothing more than it because the people whom you are hiding it from , already know it . Maintain radio silence even when its useless!

Bhai he is talking about minhas base attack and the aircraft lost there was erieye... It has nothing to do with zdk-3. The reporter mixed it up. Occam's razor.

Pakistan has complete access to the ZDK-3 software/Firmware and integration of any new sensor or capability is easy and inexpensive. No such access for erieye.

ZDK-03 lost? Did not know that...

there was no ZDK-03 that night at the Air base. In fact the hangers cannot take in the ZDK03 due to size.

But sir will Thunder block 2 be good inuf to fill the gap like J10...
or is it possible that paf induct j10 in small num and when block 3 would be ready(mature inuf) induct it at that time instead of block 2

 

[Quwa]

Good, so the LIFT requirement is real and they haven't decided on what to acquire... I'm guessing that old L-159 news had a bit of weight to it afterall, but I wonder if others, such as M346, are on the cards.

 

[The DarkKnight]

Brilliant! Keep going!

That's because we have not yet evolved out of the colonial era mindset.... None of us has.

The article mentions that 1 ZDK03 was lost at Minhas, wth??

I thought it was the SAAB Erieye? If it really was ZDK-03, a replacement could be possible.

1 or two SAAB Erieye was destroyed in Kamra attack , this is known, however according to the article it means that 1 or 2 SAAB Erieye plus an ZDK-03 was also destroyed

Not sure, otherwise the article would mention Erieye as well.
