Ahhh, F-4, Mig-21, far by the uglies planes around. Somehow I don’t like the Mig-23 either. F-5 is not so bad looking. MIII and Draken are beauties.

Ugly it may be but it sure is effective. Nobody called the skyhawk pretty did they?:)

Indian test and eval pilots have flown the Mirage 2000-5 and even the Rafale.
The latter a/c is deemed as too good to be true but hey it costs too much. 🙁 😎

Nitin, please, this is getting beyond the ridiculous, lets leave it here, there is now one single reliable source that will find the number of exocets in the inventory, as someone else pointed out, I can tell you the number of bullets the Pakistan Army has either! so lets just “assume” we have enough to equip our aircraft, just as we can “assume” we have enough magics of sidewinders to equip our fighters, this debate is getting more and more silly

Aaah, so when you “assume” kindly state its an assumption. Dont make silly blanket statements and then resort to personal attacks when caught out.
Funny that when I ask you to prove your position- its all attacks on Pakistan and this and that, and after all your bluster and bravura you finally admit that you had no sources to back up your assertion apart from mere feelings.

My feeling is that Demi Moore is gonna give me a foot massage. Aint got any proof, but thats my feeling and so its gotta be true. :rolleyes:

so can we get back to teh discussion or we just want to post crap now?

You are welcome to post crap. Though I dunno why you like doing so. :diablo:

It’s very unlikely the F-CK-1 will ever be exported. The first, which is the most obvious, is that it ****es off Beijing. Second, not so obvious, but equally important, is that the US will not allow you to second export its technology, especially when it can potentially compete with the F-16.

On the Gripen, I think one of the problems of its marvelous datalinks, is that you need an infrastructure to match them with. Used with a legacy datalink infrastructure, you won’t get any more benefit than let’s say, an F-16 with Link 16. Third world countries are very unlikely to have such a matching infrastructure and even some NATO countries don’t have either.

You will have to invest in a completely new datalink structure then. Most countries have very limited sensor -n/w integration in the third world, to begin with..

exactly thats what i want to know, many have claimed that abt the rejection of the A-50s by the IAF, still not yet found any public reports or articles abt that. I heard that there was something related to that on Janes, can some one dig and post it over here

There were no public reports, merely hearsay. 😉

Or enough bullets, or enough boots. Come on PAF, are you telling me you don’t know the exact number of comabt fatigues owned by the Pakistan Army?! Tsk you should be ashamed of yourself. 😀 😀

Now dont you start off old bean, otherwise we’ll be regaled with the astonishing inventory of combat fatigues and bullets owned by the Pakistanis and how they’d knock down the SHAR’s. 😀
