Hi PAF Fan….

you have not included the ADS-37 in the list…..

YAHOO25 was saying something about the ADS-37 on some previous thread…. that its better than the russian S-300 and that India now has a reason to worry…..

Got any pics of the ADS-37 ?

actually pakistan has a significant export potential for this system…..

China has been buying significant Nos. of the S-300(variants) from Russia…..

if, as claimed by YAHOO25, the ADS-37 system is better than the S-300, then Pakistan will be getting significant orders from its all-weather ally- China…..

dumbing down the quakity of the forum!?

is the above in english…. 😀 and yes can someone please explain what it means ??? “quakity” ? 😀

If you read properly I think it was stated that the MIG-21 Bisons and SU-30s were escorting the MIG-29s…

Mig-21 bisons and Su-30s for escorting an “air-superiority” fighter ??? 😀

“….escorting the MiG-29 !” 😀 😀 :rolleyes:

The MiG-29 rules it is a quit good fighter

FULCRUM RULES !! :dev2: don’t know about dragons though…. 😀

What has foldable wings, auxilary intatke, IRST and air refuelling has to do with modern design. Modern design means reduce RCS and drag.

yeah sure…. 😀 don’t need them…. don’t require them….. 😀

just need a fighter called FC-1….. and when engaged in a fight…. just need to shout on the mic “hey !!! its THE FC-1 here….”
and all the fighters, Su-30mki included, will run away…… 😀

and yes…. IRST, Air to air refuelling, auxilary air-intake, foldable wings are WWII vintage….. “ANCIENT” :rolleyes:

and compared to the MiG-29K, Su-30MKI, the FC-1 is the ultra-modern fighter….. 😀

EDIT: err… forgot to add…. that the FC-1 is modern because it is not ancient and does not have any of the features that “ANCIENT” fighters have….
also since it is modern…. it humbles the raptor, JSF, F-117 etc…. by quite a wide margin due to its low RCS…..

also the drag of FC-1 is so reduced that its Cd~0.000000000000000001 and this allows the FC-1 to have unimaginable range……. 😀

Anybody who knows anything about the region, minus the Indians, knows that the Talibans never left afghanistan nor were they defeated per se or dealt at least what would constitute a conventional military defeat. They just took off their black turbans (trade mark of the Talibans) and blended back into the population.

All the smoking out of the cave rhetoric as well as the precision guided munition raining down on the archaicaly armed talibans and the B-52 being called in by the spec forces to flush out unusually stiffer resistance ended up mostly targeting wedding parties, fleeing civilians and in worst cases Afghans settling their personal scores and the noble americans all too giddy in their enthusiasm to avenge the murder of 3000 of their compatriots, righteously obliging. In very few instances were the Talibans on the recieving end of the american wrath.

Fact of the matter is that the real power is wielded by the warlords; Dostum, Ismail Khan, Masood’s protege Fahim and his co-hort Qanooni and all the rest of ex-commie NA lot would not allow a relative new comer and oil company prospector Karzai to attain any meaningful control in the long term. They had after the ouster of Taliban temporarily yield and will continue to do so until the situation is right for their traditional and long term benefactors in Russia, Iran and India to exploit for their benefit. Meanwhile look for opium production to progressively rise and Karzai to continue in his innocuous role as the mayor of Kabul.

you talk as if you are a remnant of those talibs….

been there…(afghanistan)
done that…..(took turban off & blended with local population)
