Wheels within wheels. 🙂
Eventually, Congress will not block something that the President really wants. But they can make sure that if Pak gets F-16s, India gets approval for Arrow. All in the name of balancing.
let me guess you are one of the guys who still believes the fc-1 is a myth :D. You still dont understand he. first 50 with chinese avionics/electronics for speeding up proces, evaluatig the new possibilities which have entered the “market” after sanctions where lifted. Your reasoning is low and only meant for flames, so Yahoo dont take his invetations any more.
Wow, you can read people’s minds? :rolleyes:
So you are saying that they are accepting radar and avionics that tyhey don’t really like but just put in something to speed up the process. That’s not different to what I’m saying.
BTW, could it not be likely that a Grifo-S7 or an RC-400 plus Western avionics would have made the cost more than the under $20 million quoted?
Also, Grifo and Thales were been there to work with since two years ago. Grifo even made you a radar for the FC-1 didn’t it, as was noted in the same article.
Essentially, it seems clear that PAF accepted less than what it wanted just to meet timelines. That’s what you’re saying.
Very interesting that you seem very keen to defend yourself with regards to lying – but don’t seem remotely bothered by the allegation of selective misquoting – any reason for this?
It includes both. But lying is a serious claim.
As to quoting the rest of AVM Lateef’s comments, as soon as Phrozen quoted it in the foirst page, I acknowledged it.
My question still stands.
Mods, Golden Arrow is totally not intrested in the subject. If I say the same about LCA then the topic is editted but somehow Chinese or Pakistani topics are allowed to be discriminated. Let is be fair. Compared with LCA the FC1 is much more in the news. Within a few years there will be production planes. And looking at the past they increased development very fast. From paper plane to flying example was extremely fast. What the exact reasons are is not clear but speading up further is probably the motto. Some Indian posters just cannot handle the fact that their LCA isn’t fast. So they start to… Isn’t is strange that Indian post negative topics about pakistan and they are ruling this forum for past few days? Well. Google? Don’t you even try to be fair here?
Don’t bring up other planes. This is a thread about FC-1’s avionics and radar.
This post and subsequent arguments made along these lines are hilarious. Anyone who has a copy of the article from which the above extracts can check and will see that the same Shahid Lateef in the same article – after stating the above goes on to say that – the chinese rose to the challenge posed by Pakistans requirements and have now put a package on the table which is being considered. (I am not at home at the moment so I will post the exact wording later on today)
I wonder why the above poster – while diligently repeating the negative comments about Chinese systems totaly neglects to mention the positive conclusion of Lateefs comments in the same article. Perhaps he stopped reading half way – or perhaps the rest of the article didn’t support the biased point he is trying to make.
Kindly READ my posts.
My question is – “What exactly has changed in the 2 years in Chinese avionics.”
BTW, read the PAF #2 guy saying in June 2004 that PAF WILL NOT accept Chinese avionics for FC-1.
What has changed since then to make Chinese avionics acceptable to PAF? Did they come up with a miracle?
Or is it likely that PAF just diluted its requirements?
He has done that on almost every Pakistani thread, be it selective misqouting or plan lying. Unfortunately there are no rules against such manipulation.
The tactic , like that of a few other posters, seems to be to come into a Pakistani thread, use selective or imaginayr qoutes to disprove or mock someone then start flaming.
I challenge you to PROVE your claim that I lied. Either prove it or let it be known that you don’t have the auqaat to face facts.
Mods,
This is an unwarranted personal attack.
See my post above. IF the same person or organization change views it means they have some evidence to support it. There is also many things explicit in that interview which you chose to ignore.
Nope it could mean many things:
1. They cannot afford what they want
2. They have no choice
3. They are desperate
etc. etc.
By your logic, any product PAF buys automatically becomes better than the ones it did not.
So now if PAF looked at Rafale, F-22, JSF and then bought J-10, you’d argue that J-10 is better than Rafale, JSF and F-22 :p
two years or now only Airforce official evaluated it. So if they say so it means that it is good now. At that time only PAF give the opinion and this time only PAF gave opinion. So your views does not even matter because only they are the evidence.
So in June 2004 your #2 man did not want Chinese stuff, what about that dude? 😀
Hint -> If you are in a hole – Stop digging 🙂
Grifo is not some grand dream. If 50 mirages and over 150 F-7 can be equiped with it when PAF was under complete sanction so Grifo S-7 is not grand dream for JF-17. It is your desire to put down that Chinese avionics and radar when the evidence to support is not there.
If it is not a big deal then why have PAF officials said repeatedly – “FC-1 will have Western radar and avionics”. Why was Grifo-S7 featured in AFM’s report on FC-1?
Your PAF #2 man said in June 2004 that FC-1 will NOT have Chinese radar and avionics. It cannot get more explicit than that.
Then it all changes and you and your ilk spin it.
BTW, I’ll keep in mind that you have made a rule for yourself that new news trumps old news. Let’s see you stick to that 😉
Why AFM is not reputable source. where they are clearly saying now that it meets our requirement or these are the words of some body else?
It’s not AFM man, its your guy. What he said is what he said. I can have a Mali Air Force chief saying his planes are super-duper, but without independent reporting its BS until proven otherwise.
Your guy said Chinese tech was crap two years ago but okay now. So what has changed? Care to share?
Why recycle old stuff from AFM when the new news have clearly superseded it? Now PAF is saying new avionics and radar meet the requirements which before cannot. So that is the only news of relevance.
What BS and hypocrisy!
On this thread, you posted an old report from April to “refute” a latest Jane’s report on RD-93 but here you change tacks.
You are a piece of work man. :diablo:
With time things changes.
Yes. With time, PAF realizes it has to give up grand dreams and settle for what it can get.
I like your 2 year logic which you keep repeating. Did they mentioned any percentage of capabilities achieved versus the year? Like 50% in 1998 and 80% in 2002. when later in 2004 they said that they are impressed and satisfied with the progress. So in 2005 it will be 100% according to specification. You have one point just repeating without having any data to backup.
What data dude?
You keep BSing about 2 years from 2004 = 1998. I don’t have any such voodoo data.
In 2002 it wasn’t good enough. He clearly said he was “not impressed.” That doesn’t sound like an 80% satisfaction to me.
You pull this % satisfaction out of somewhere now that your BS claims on 2002, Russian tech and others have come to naught.
Now try again. In 2002, PAF thought Chinese avionics sucked. In 2004 they accepted it. What has changed?
Don’t give me the BS that “WE accepted it so it must have changed.” :rolleyes:
Post reports from JAne’s or reputable sources.
BTW, you yourself posted 2 reports on FC-1 from Jane’s and deny that there are any such reports? How idiotic is that!
BTW, here’s an interesting quote by PAF Vice Chief in the same June AFM.
You better see this. after 1998 sanctions they went on tour. there is no mention of 2002.
See What?
I’m not sure what you want to show me, but to most normal human beings, if a person says “two years ago” in year X, it usually means he is referring to the year X-2 😮
In the same interview it was mentioned they tour J-10 factory around 1997 to 1999.
Irrelevant. Any person can visit any place more than one time.
Try again.
