There are lot of issues that went wrong with max: - A unstable design due to new engines that causes the nose to pitch up due to changes to its aerodynamics. - MCAS software that implemented as a poor work around to fix this flaw and to receive a quick certification. - MCAS relying on single sensor ...

^ Those drones are likely operated by other Pakistani forces and they shot down their own drone. Or could even be a drone operated by civilians in the area.

Btw, does OFB make Smerch rockets in India ? There are a bunch of articles that it *would* in around 2012, but I didn't see that corroborated. I think the Russians refused to allow the local manufacture of the SMERCH. Probably a cash cow for them. On topic of Smerch MLRS even russians are moving aw...

They can be used for bunker busting but their short effective range and lack of mobility during engagement makes them quite vulnerable to atgm or rpg.

We can build our own general purpose missile corvettes like the Israeli Sa'ar 6 above. We can replace the 40 cell Tamir VLS with a 16 cell VLS for the naval derivative of QRSAM. Anti-ship missile can be 4 quad packs of Uran mid-ship or 2 quad packs for Brahmos-NG. The heli can be the Naval Dhruv. T...

This makes all Haft-1 missiles obsolete a smaller cheaper missile with similar range and more accurate in more mobile launchers means those Haft launchers easily get taken out by a salvo.

Keep in mind pakistan army used to politize and use US drone strikes as means to recruit more militants for Afghanistan. Well known they pulled civilian bodies from funeral homes to show that US strikes killed them and display it to public to antagonize them (also caters the western liberal media). ...

I know. I don't quote the desi cruiser anywhere else. But since it was brought up, I posted a link showing that it was mentioned somewhere down the line.

Looks like Pralay is our Anti Ship ballistic missile with a radar, otherwise a I dont see a reason for a Fused Silica Radar-dome Pralay will need a seeker for even land targets same as Brahmos.. For hitting stationary target isn’t more preferable and cheaper to use IR. Brahmos uses radar seeker bec...

Most of pressure is due to leaks that they been planning attacks on western targets in India which lead to US and Europe putting pressure on Pakistan.

During 2nd Iraq conflict I remember US fired about a dozen cruise missiles on one of Saddam’s palace with little effect finally sent some F-16s with bunker buster/LGB to level the palace. Even then as NBC news coverage was walking around and doing live broadcast the structure was damaged but still s...

I was referring the 800 kmph speed not to this debris but to a flightradar24 query few posts up Ok few in Twitter have mentioned that China has not started delivery of Wing Loong ii but that’s a lie. Pakistan already crashed one in 16 they claimed it was test trials but I suspect they have a few mo...

John

For my noob eyes this intake looks similar to Chinese drone EA-03/WZ-7 and speed also matches

I think it’s Wing Loong ii, I don’t believe the reported speeds been confirmed.

I believe it’s attempt to hit supply depot stole a page from Yemen, Ukraine and Syrian conflicts.

The drones will drop munition and leave, making it hard to determine with its accident, sabatoge or drone strike.

Video of wing loong ii. These drones aren’t cheap by any means fact that they got shot down so easily not a good sign for paf.

Yea It looks like most of leadership is a goner one of reasons you haven’t seen any recordings from any of them. Pakistan will claim he died “naturally” in a week or so.

I measured the building three attached buildings look to be around ~20k sq footage each ( assuming 3 stories it’s hard to say). The larger one looks to be around 40k sq footage. These are quiet big commercial sized buildings.

Breaking Trump meeting with Kim ends without a deal so I expect him to distract everyone from that by jumping to negotiate a peace deal here.
