Keep it aviation linked. It is pretty norm,al that some posters try to get this blocked. About the F16 deal. Yea there are PAF pilots trained in USA. And yes the latest block F16 for the UAE will be flown and maintained by PAF personnel. With or without the F16 Pakistan is becoming pertty well armed. Not to become dangerous for India but to become a moderate islamic state that is able to stop terrorism. Whether that is from fanatic arabs or from the neighbouring occupation from its territory.
What about the derivative of the RD33 for the FC1?
The negative pr towards Iran is started. Just to move away bad publicity about Irac. Whether they will attack? I doubt that. Iranian answer will be different compared with Irac. And we know that Iran is busy with nuclear toys. That makes it comparable with NK.
I thought there was a tender for 125 planes? With Kaveri not finished it will make some extra problems if India starts inducting LCA by 2007. Knowing that US engines are very good but expensive and boycottable…
Still it is not finalised deal. Even with mr Bush going for another long anti Iran period we will have to see what they want in return for some F16’s.
I don’t think Pakistan would mind getting Flankers or spare parts of Flankers through China. I doubt China is not happy with export. The only reason for so much Chinese parts is to get not again the indirect Indian stop. We all know India is asking Russia not to deliver anything to Pakistan. Even if it is indirectly through China.
Looking at the numbers of arrested India illegal fishers inside Pakistani territory shows that not only do these products stop terrorist but also normal criminal activities. With the modest funds PN is able to setup a decent force. With those extra planes and vessels Pakistan will be able to clear the territory much faster.
AOA of just 20 degrees? Is that normal to do test this slow?
Say what you want, but I love Chinese copying. Cracking up the DVD code and bringing up a series of cheap and yet reliable chips that put the price level of the codefree DVD/DivX players to some ridiculous 50 EUR level is one of their greatest contributions to the mankind.
Thank You, Mainland !!!!! 🙂
anti chinese posts from Indians. Another way to show that those that try to flame are never listed.
Why so much non aviation non technical posts?
Let me help you out guys. Maybe China television showed something. Maybe even they tested such planes to compare with other planes. But the comparing with non aviation objects is just the evidence that these posts are not serious.
I think the hawk has evolved a lot more. I am looking forward to see it inducted in the IAF. The K8 is basic and simple. The most important selling point is that it is cheap. We cannot say that about the Hawk.
Leaking of oil (just in front of belly tank) isn’t PS… 😀
links with awacs/other fighters? Ground coverage? There are still alternatives.
accepting critic is an option. Blaming personal not. I remember Joshua Kucera doing the same about Pakistan.
