PAF IN 2015

[mysterious]

Even though it sounds sweet of PAF in line to receive Block 60s; I'm not getting excited about all these claims by the article before I actually see some of it happening. It does make quite sensationalist claims. HighSea pointed 'em out correctly. As for his use of CF-1 instead of FC-1, I'd say its probably typos because the article uses FC-1 as well (maybe he wrote it in a hurry :? ). Anywayz, lets wait and see what part of this article is really in the offing and what part is not.

I take this article with a grain of salt. What was your source?

I think It's from another forum - Key Publication in the UK.

One Pakistani military officer, reportedly at one-star level, noted on April 18, 2004 : "China has added several features [to the FC-1/JF-17] that were directly reverse-engineered from a US-made F-16 Falcon jet fighter provided to Beijing by Pakistan. The Pakistani F-16, sold to Islamabad during the 1980s, was given to the PLAAF as part of a secret military trade deal between Pakistan and China. In return for the US-made F-16 jet, Pakistan received a deep discount on the purchase of Chinese-made M-11 ballistic missiles. The new Chinese J-10 supersonic fighter is designed to take on and defeat US-built F-16 and F-18 fighters that make up the bulk of American airpower."

If you see the footnotes, this actually was picked up from a pakdefence chat-room!!!

Good to know, can you add more bits to your info, i like that, and iam excited to hear about this more, thanks.

It lacks a little in credibility - some of the claims are a bit fanciful.

caveat emptor.

Thunder, the news was first published on "early bird" website. Which is only available to people who access it from .mil domains. Most of the stuff as GF said is fanciful and one should keep their doubts before believing anything.

Oh, God help us if the Reserve Officers Association is getting their news from 14 year old kids in chatrooms!

:lol :lol :lol

 

[webmaster]

And surprisingly no body noticed that on airforces montly forums! :roll

 

[srirangan]

Wow! So they are actually reading what we write.

 

[webmaster]

They picked it up from pakdefence chat room, I don't know if they read DT.

Thats why emphasis is put on being professional and respectful to one another. You never know when you'll be quoted.

I can't help but wonder if this was his forum rank, not his military rank... :lolol

nfloorl: That could very well be a valid point highsea. :smokingc:

 

[adsH]

Guys guys it sounded abit far fetched that the reason why i put the damn news on here to see how many of us would be willing to take a shot at it, it is hilarious at points. does PAF have one star or the star system in ranks.

 

[P.A.F]

this in my point of view is realistic!!!!!!!!!

F-16A/B 25/15 (all upgraded)
JF-17 150-200
F-7P/FT-7 90/10
F-7PG/FT-7PG 75/20
A-5 Fantan & Mirage any if left over and not retired : (joking)
Rafale 60

that is all the PAF could manage for the mean-time. however if we have 1 or 2 billion left over then we should buy a few mirage 2000-5's just as a starter fleet. we can buy more later. or if not that then just go for the j-10. also can anyone tell me why the PAF still has 39 FT-5 (MiG-17) aircraft stored????

 

[mysterious]

Probably as a backup till more K-8s arrive in the advanced jet trainer mode. T-37s and Mushaks are used for primary training if I can recall correctly.
