PAF Future Acquisition Plans

[DevendraRajput]

I've read that it's blast radius is 1 miles which is still pretty decent.

Is there even anything that is non-nuclear that could annihilate cities?

There are different types of annihilations. If you want buildings to be all flattened, then no if they are all concrete. If most structure is wood, like a lot of places in North America, possibly with some large incendiary bomb like large scale phosphorous bombs. It will set things on fire. If you want to kill people only, many BC weapons can do that trick.

Chill bro, This is China we are talking about, not Boeing or LM. Reality is stranger than fiction. Study their track record with us. Don't look for the obvious, look for the NOT SO obvious.

Last but not least, do enjoy your weekend. Cheers!

Exactly this is China we are talking about. With China we don't have to always announce our deals on the very first day we sign them. We can keep them under the carpet. They cannot announce many things just on our request.

If within the next decade or beyond Pakistan equips itself with stealth fighters - it will definitely upset the 'balance of power' as the Americans have defined it.

So what will be the excuse cause for sanctions or suppression against Pakistan? They will have to react in some manner to reverse things and re-introduce a 'balance' into the playing field.

Decade is too long. You would see us equipping with them really soon INSHALLAH. Balance of power was already disturbed in our direction for really long time. Terrible planning of IAF combined with incompetency of HAL and DRDO and final touch comes with their slow as hell politicians.

Do we have a bomb similar to the MOAB? Basically like a city annihilator but without the use of nukes

Yes he’s called Zaid Hamid

I actually put the blame squarely on the Iaf planners and leaders
They should no the changing threat scenario and new military combat doctrines entering now and show evolve process and efficiency
Instead we get nothing

USA never mislead anyone on the F-35. The F-35s had issues. Nothing that was not fixable

None of us think Pakistan can build a 5th generation combat aircraft "Azm" when you cannot even build a passenger car. Sure you can always acquire one from China and paint it as yours.

I can tell the Indian Air Force is not impressed with the PAF. They are taking their sweet time on all their combat aircraft acquisitions.

Hi,

Your nation stated the same thing about the nuc weapons----.

 

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

Pakistan interested in acquiring TAI KAAN, Turkey’s first 5th generation fighter jet

 

[GriffinsRule]

Whether u like it or not it's nawaz sharif for next 10 years so let's pray he does it

Regardless good luck with the discussion..

If he dies within the next ten days, that will bring more stability to Pakistan too

 

[GriffinsRule]

Stealing uranium enrichment technology from Netherlands and getting a bomb design from China. I suppose it is a little bit of work. Keep in mind nukes never get used in a battlefield. They are tested rarely.

Do not be so sure about your 5th generation fighter aircraft. It will be hard to fake it.

Nothing wrong with stealing and borrowing technology. Besides it's 40s era technology that both countries have had for decades.
Nothing to write home about

It does not matter whether a nuke was borrowed, stolen or developed in-house. the fun thing is that it never gets used (hopefully). you get to bluff. hopefully your bluff never gets called.

the issue with combat aircraft is that they have to be flown and possibly used. it is little tricky to fake it

Why do some people think Pakistan will get both Turkish and Chinese stealth jets? This doesn't economically sound feasible unless you mean decades apart whereby then the world will move towards 6th gen already

People assume the cost of operation of stealth aircraft is low. With a $1.3 billion budget you cannot afford even to operate both. We won't talk about the acquisition costs

Because that is the official PAF plans. KAAN is our own project now. KAAN will be produced in Pakistan. And J-31 will be bought from China. And 6th Generation are really far away. J-31 is coming now and KAAN will join us in 6 to 8 years. @nahtanbob We know about the costs but it seems you have no clue how many inductions which we have done in last few decades trust if we look at our officially announced budget none of them would make sense to you.

The F-16s are courtesy of American taxpayers. The J-17 and J-10 are courtesy of Chinese taxpayers. Turks are not that rich to finance you.

Generalized BS as usual I see - you’re like AMTRAK - start out nice and then your national ego kicks in and derails to total nonsense.

So Im guessing you have paperwork or something to prove your claims.
