To all who think that the PAF will be getting J-12s, don’t you think that you should aim for the J-10 first, China does not have the habbit of releasing its latest toys and the J-12 itself is years away from deployment with the PLAAF itself.
I dont see why we cannot compare the LCA or FC-1 to any other 4th gen fighter or each other, it is not the fault of any decent member that certain memebrs who live in paradise cannot take certain facts correctly and prefer to insult, they should simply be banned. Just look at who has started or brought back 2 year old threads again
40 or 50 have been ordered.
If the Kopyo is simply a rumour, then I guess that the MMR better be ready soon for weapons testing on PV@-3 etc?
Air Force One
Ok so the missiles of the MiG would not hit due to the advanced EW on Air Force One but then once 3 MiGs got into cannon range, the huge boeing was seen outmanouvering them and missing, then the MiGs were completely dominated by the F-15s, the F-15s had chaff and flare, the MiGs did not, and were easily blown apart.
hopefully they will design the AEW ac from the start with carrier operations from the future ADS in mind.
I was wondering if Brazil could be a possibility in providing the platform?
What would Russia be providing?
The Avro thing is a no brainer, the radar dome was way too big for the platform and this eventually resulted in the crash of the prototype and the loss of the lead scientists, I am still confused as to why they decided on the 748?
I don’t get it, why have this thread PLA, if you do ont like Harry, then you probably did not vote for him, majority wins, I am not happy about certain webbies as well, you do not see me creating threads and crying about it, grow up. Now Phrozenflam, can you please tell me why you have to bring India-Pak in every single topic, go post about aviation.

IAF to have new set of exercises with the USAF F-16s and AWACs
PV-2 LCA is supposed to fly by August.
Does anyone have an estimate on the Aster30, specs and price, has the IN expressed interest on the Aster30, any newspaper links?
We can assume that the J-10 will form the high tech branch of the PLAAF, as for the FC-1, the CAC website mentions that it is medium tech, dont accuse me of flaming for stating what the official site says. I do not think that anyone really knows what kind of avionics the Thundur will have for them to claim neat avionics either. Except for its price, there is nothing really special about the FC-1, the MiG-29As of the IAF have had BVR for years, I don’t see MiG advertising about BVR all the time as Wolverine said. You people must get a reality check, its good to be optimistic but the facts remain facts, 8.5G puller with 80% the aerodynamics capabilities of an F-16A for God’s sake as per CHINESE AND PAKISTANI WEBSITES. Noone is saying that the FC-1 will be garbage, its just not high tech. The tooling used by the Chinese is better than the design of the plane itself.
How about Sthil 2?
Pakistan should not have a problem with getting radars such as the Grifo etc, for 150 planes, many a company would want to do business, I doubt that Kopyo would be in the running though since the IAF is familiar with that family of radar.
You forgot the SU-30ks as well
