I just made a thread in the aviation forum on aircraft prices brahmos. You might wanna check it out.
Yeah PJ apparently this is old news!! this was when PAF had sanctions and had very little options, Flanker is a high performance and a HIgh cost AC, its not feasible for PAF, PAF has always had poor poor funding, management of such AC's would of been a problem. But the Flankers were coming for cheapPJ-10 BrahMos said:Is it true Pakistan were intrested in purchasing the SU-27 "Flanker" a few months back from the Ulkraine
Gripen uses composite materials. Its semi-stealth. its electronic systems make it a very capable aircraft.mysterious said:You sure you're ok?? Gripen is a 'front-line', 'fourth generation' aircraft made by the SWEDES!!!! Thunder is a low-tech, BULK fighter (can be said to be of 3rd generation) to form the backbone of PAF in 'numbers'!! Two are very different things for very different purposes. A comparison would be unfair between the two. :smokingc:
theres too much talk of word stealth !!, well its stealthier not Semi stealth or Stealth. it probably has a lower RCS, but i doubt its stealthy in any way look at its huge air Inlet, someone jump inn and explain the concept !!Oqaab said:Gripen uses composite materials.

umair how can you say that !! 50 percent!! i thought the Thunder was simple non exotic high/med tech bulk fighter!! as claimed by PAF ACM. i doubt 50 percent of it would be Composite.umair said:Well the ratio of composites in the Thunder will be increased to almost 50% once production starts.And for pete's sake people" stop calling it a med tech fighter" :kar
