Tahir Rafique Butt: 'New aircraft, new capability'

[genmirajborgza786]

So it means PAF is interested in buying L-159s and replacing the T-37s and later K-8s. Also there is now lesser possibility of dual seat JF-17s as PAF will be buying L-15s.

I think this gives clear chance to North African countries to join the programs which Pakistan is backing off.

@genmirajborgza786 I think PAF is backing out from Chinese things. Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco has a clear chance to take advantage of it.

PAF should go for j-10b as we desperately need a solid medium weight platform, we have only 18 f-16 block 52, the rest are MLU upgrades

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.

Recently I asked someone in the Air Defence and I was told' ZDK is better than SAAB ...SAAB's radar has some problem ...

ZDK-03 lost?? at Minhas airbase?? well this is a new thing now, no one was talking about this. I highly suspect it is some editorial error because am not aware of ZDK-03 at Minhas, they house Erieye.

Any suggestions? what do you make of this report?

@Oscar

We have discussed this, how may destroyed, how many damaged to death and i hope this new report do not spark up another conspiracy. Also there is no denying the fact this whole saga have been a bad bad public relational effort on part of PAF and have let them down. Should have come out and ad

Could be just a typo.

There is no sign of 004. It was supposed to be delivered last year

nothing new except the army financed the F-16 deal with Jordan which is a good sign indeed. the ZDK03 attrition is a mistake by Alan Warnes.

 

[TheFlyingPretzel]

Alan Warnes does not make mistakes.

 

[shaheenmissile]

Alan Warnes does not make mistakes.

On this occasion he did.

 

[Capt.Popeye]

More than one AEW platform was lost.

Shhh. The poor Awaam should be the last to know, don't let 'the cat out of the bag' yet.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Means j-10 is still alive..yeh cheez

on the contrary JF-17 should be our go to aircraft
that is the take away from the article. its later blocks should provide what J-10 can offer and then there are always F-16 purchase opportunities available.

 

[shaheenmissile]

More than one AEW platform was lost.



Which you dont, which is why its not coming. the Focus is on the JF-17.

Please read this month's edition of Air international. they have given account of all country's erieye fleet. You statement here is wrong.

Shhh. The poor Awaam should be the last to know, don't let 'the cat out of the bag' yet.

Ok fine, the entire bloody fleet was shot up and currently the AEW role is being performed by balloons. Happy now?
