I had invitation for today's inauguration ceremony but due to very busy schedule I did not attend today's ceremony.

Insha Allah I will try to visit tomorrow.
I love you brother. I still remember you and saff shikan posting detailed threads on ideas expos.

Too bad I'm not in karachi and due to a wedding in the family couldn't make it.

Would have loved to meet you. God bless.

High speed wind tunnels model at GIDS stall.
@JamD @Oscar can you please give your opinion, if it’s an actual capability then what are we looking at (size, speed for the actual thing).

Existing infrastructure being advertised because wind-tunnel time is quite valuable - however, our wind-tunnels suffer from lack of accurate enough instrumentation. This is primarily because all our orgs are blacklisted and can't import crap. Also the SPD scorty prevents almost anyone from actually using these since they cause so many problems. If a non SPD commercial entity was spun up that wasn't blacklisted, maybe they could improve the instrumentation in these WTs to world standard and we could earn lots of money selling WT time.


Here are the WTs in question I think (coordinates in screenshot - near Islamabad)

High-speed WT:

The quality of the mockups is SO bad. Compare the video where you can clearly see that the wings are supposed to fold out since these are all tube-launched munitions but the mockups were made by baala denter - fixed wings.
