Well it seems to me that while it’s clear PAF cannot compete with the IAF on modern aircraft, they’re heavily investing in new capabilities like tankers, AEW&C, were the IAF seems to be slightly behind. The addition of electronic warfare systems from the US seems a bit worrying to me. They said it’s defensive only, but it would be interesting to know whether they only protect individual aircraft or if they can protect a strike package.

Everybody and their mum know that those arent for defensive purpose , but thats nothing new.Previously US have supplied paf with equipment like Sniper ATP , JDAM kits , AN/ALQ 141 etc.

The IAF’s mandate is to fight a simultaenous two front war.While IAf in its current state will be hard pressed to keep that mandate , if paf alone is considered its not a problem for the IAF.

Seems like an A5 pamphlet, could be A4 as well, but I doubt that the seeker would be wider than 8-9 inches, tops.

Should get atleast 30 – 40 km lock on range as per industry standards.

Yeah she is a beauty isnt she!
IN do have a requirement of atleast 6-8 SSNs…but majority of them will be indigenous.
And thanks to the Russkies ofcourse! Underlines the strategic partnership of our countries! Who else would have done these things for us! Cheers!:)

I don’t blame the officers who made the presentation, its not their job they should hire dedicated PR people to do it.

Doesnt seem like you have made any presentation at any decent conference.You dont have any idea at all!
This is not a product they are trying to sell that PR people will do it!!
This is an academic presentation done by a test pilot and an aeronautical engineer on their own experience!A slick presentation is good, but the content matters much more..and here it was quite interesting!
