We can make each and every component of an F-16; including its engines?

I wish, I wish, and I wish again but wishing it alone is not going to do it.
Let me prepare some tea so that we may all wake up and start thinking clearly.
"If you have a problem with that link, simply dont go there..."
And I do exactly that and have been doing it since I grew up.

I have seen the working of AWC and PAC and they don't fall short of any international standards.
Their one main problem is funds but the F-16/Cobra/Other-US-Equipment rutt has been going on fo so
long I'm sure they have found work arouds or reverse engineered a lot of the F-16 parts.
I had also heard the Pak has stashed away smuggled F-16 spares that can see the PAF through for the next 5 years.
Even the company that I worked for was also thinking about getting cobra spare parts smuggled since the army is willing to pay good for it and it's hard cash

The following reverse engineered stuff I have seen with my own eyes at DESTO (Defence Science and Technology Organization)
Durandals - Anti Runway Bombs
PaveWays - Laser Guided Bombs
Mavericks - Optical Guided Missiles
AIM 9s - Sidewinders
ALL REVERSE ENGINEERED
Now this info won't be avaialbe on the web so I can't post the link these thing were shown to us when our college went on a visit but I'm sure there is much more
In response to this post if some bhindian starts jacking off I'll cut his little willy off so better not post your silly comments :red><

good luck to you sino.
your right there is more guess work and speculation in this forum than a bloody afternoon at the race-tracks!
some decent credible info would be useful. however, having said that, Pakistan has always operated under a shroud of secrecy with most of its defense related programmes. According to some people Pakistan had the capability to explode a nuclear weapon in the early 80's but no-one could say for sure until we actually did detonate the bombs.

U cannot compare flankers with J-10 and FC-1! different category... both J-10 and FC-1 are light fighters while the flanker is a huge plane.... it will definitely win out in aspects like combat radius, payload, radar range and others...I guess with each passing day the bullshiit on this AF forum has considerably subsided!

Thankyou Chinese su_27SK Flanker dude!![]()
Why don't you tell these kids here that the Chinese flankers are its most capable aircraft!! And will be even if the J-10 or FC-1 come into service! these idiots don't seem to believe me, and are in a third world denial!!![]()
but i think the J-10 is more advance compared to the earlier versions of flankers tt the chinese received... in fact in some aspect its comparable to the SU-30mkk!

Better than the F-16?????The officials said that the upcoming Super-7 would be the main fighter aircraft of Pakistan in near future and it would be formally inducted into the air force after five to six years. From technical aspect, the Super-7 will be superior than the F-16.

Well..a new twist in the story of FC-1 ..Game over PAF..game over..noow we're screwed for sure! God bless PAF
I do remember reading on the Internet a few months ago that the PLAAF has rejected this aircraft; however, the PRC will manufacture it to uphold its promise to Pakistan.
Indeed, I can see that this aircraft does hold a lot of promise!!
If it's better than the F-16, why the heck does the PLAAF not want it? Second, if it is indeed better, than it is probably ahead of the earlier versions of the F-16, of the types that fly with the PAF.
Folks: Please do note that I am not trying to antagonise anyone here. Peace O:)

Every new fighter takes lot of time for testing before induction. Hundreds of testing hours and several dozen test flights need to be done to certify it's capabilities. If some flaw is discovered during the testing, then it takes even more time to fix it. Super-7 is no exception. It's some patriotic people who believe that FC-1 will fly this june and and finish all it's test flights in about one year, well it doesn't happens that way.

I think you are not that wrong, the word of mouth from PAF I have heard is, 2012-2015 the formal induction of FC!.... after serial production and completion of trials.
I mean 2012 will be the final and formal induction of FC1 in PAF....
now since I have no Idea about the whole project details...
the level of progress
the logistics and channels involved
the amount and flow of finance
the teams and middlemen
etc etc etc... I am in no position to say yes or no to this date....
so I am as confused and speachless as anybody. :ermm

Posted 21 April 2003 - 07:37 AM
there are litterally loads of modern new radars they could use but they'll end up with crappy grifo 7.
I think you are under-estimating the performance of the radars that are actually being offered as opposed to the radars that are not being offered. The Grifo S7 is not the same as the Grifo 7PG or earlier Grifo 7, in fact the S7 is a suffix for Super 7 indicating that it's been tailored specifically for the FC-1. The Grifo S7 is a development of the Grifo M3 which is already installed on ROSE I Mirage III/5 which is based on the AN/APG-68 of F-16C/D.
Look we could easily get the radar in the Rafale or the Mirage 2000-9 or the one in the Eurofighter, all radars which can turn an air war, sure tehy'lll cost top dollar but what is the point of getting an inferior plane.
The Thales TC-400 is basically a modular downsized version of the French RDM radar on the Mirage 2000-5 Mk.2, & was promoted for the FC-1 but the PAF prefers the Grifo S7 radar. The Grifo S7 radar is grossly under-estimated, & the TC-400 was probably developed because the French felt that the PAF would (or would seriously) consider it alongside the Mirage 2000-5 Mk.2. It would have made sense from a logistical point of view seeing how they could handle the same systems & save on costs but the problem is, no Mirage 2000-5 Mk.2 sale eventuated.
Imagine the FC-1 armed with the Captor Radar, that can detect at 200KM, thats the flankers edge gone isn't it.
I doubt that the CAPTOR radar can fit into the small nose of the FC-1. I also doubt that it's for sale & even if a miniture version is, then it's likely to be of degraded performance.
USAM Posted:
I hope Super 7 have more powerful engine.
The RD-93 is a fine powerplant, & I think that the FC-1 should lose some weight. It has an empty weight of nearly 14,000 lb & this should be reduced to less than 12,000 lb if possible even if includes using composites. Trust me, the engine is fine, & new versions will be developed. A more powerful engine just consumes more fuel. It's too late to re-adapt the FC-1 for the M-88 or EJ-200.
Flanker30MKI Posted:
I'm more concerned about the ECM. And I hope it has an internal gun.
Good point, however, I think that a combination of South African & French systems will be selected just as for the ROSE Mirages. I would opt for Ukrainain systems as they would have a good idea of the performance of Russian SAMs.
As for the internal gun, I think that the FC-1 has one.
USAM Posted:
WE make the griffo 7 in pak under licence.
Yup, Pakistan does, you do!
But Super Giffo 7 is different and we do not make it and infact even Italian company has not finished the development of Super Griffo 7.
The Grifo 7PG you mean??? No, it's done, but weapons compatibility trails have to be completed. The Grifo 7PG is superior to the Grifo 7 in many respects.
But replacement for F 16 is Griffo 2000 so i think Griffo 7 will be more adavance then Griffo 2000.
No! The Grifo 7 & Grifo 7PG are designed to fit into the noses of the F-7P & F-7PG, they're too small, whereas the Grifo 2000 is desgined for F-16MLU programmes. Just look at Itally's F-16s, they're set to get the Grifo 2000 when it is completed.

Pro's:
As you say the transfer of technology and manufacturing expertise will be most beneficial to Pakistan!
PAF needs something urgent as no one else can supply any fighter even in the range of the FC-1/ F-16 Block 15 ADF!!
Finally the BVR capability will come! ( Even though it will be 10 years too late )!
The FC-1 will fill a very badly needed high tech aircraft niche in the PAF! there are only 30 or so F-16 A's/ B's ( Without BVR capability ) left to tackle the might of the IAF's frontline high tech 4th generation aircraft which now number close to 200!
Cons
As I said, it is 10 years too late! it should have been induced at the same time as the Chung Kuo! As it will be a very very similar aircraft!
It is purported that it will be able to launch the SD-10 BVR missile, but that's all up in the air currently! Nothing solid dude. Not even the first flight.
It is expensive at 15 million a piece. considering PAF can get the much more capable/ proven Su-27 from Ukraine, at 8-10 million a piece.
For China it is not atractive as they are concentrating full force on the J-11 series! You can see the FC-1 and J-10 have been neglected, as once again their original specifications have been largely superceded by the J-11!


I think I have quite clearly expressed the reality here. Although it is just my opinion, and I am entitled to it.
Also Kikki! Not to belittle China or anybody else, but I just don't have much faith in the rhetoric and propaganda that the J-10 or FC-1 will be up to snuff, fully keeping China's existing R&D and manufacturing expertise and engineering into perspective! It will not be easy for the Chinese to make something even like the Flanker, and with all reports pointing to the bullshiit news like the J1-0 will be superior to the Flanker seris, I think is a bunch of rubbish (!) ...We'd be lucky to see it inducted in sufficient numbers to justify its concept! Just like the many many failed past experiments. We don't wanna go there Kiki! But you get the point.........

Well most importantly it'll give us a fighter better than anything we currently have in our inventory and in substantial numbers.
Hopefully as some of it will surely be manufactured in Pakistan it'll create much needed jobs, and in all the learning process will be beneficial in the long term.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the Future...oops, BACK TO THE TOPIC.
Guys, one thing i never understand. We people who dont even fully know the ABC of Defence, especially Pakistan's defence, keep expecting and pretend as well that we know everything going inside and out in Pakistan and its defence. We will have to give up this attitude because we are not the all-knowers.
Ok, what is wrong with the statement that Pakistan now makes every single component of the F-16. Someone objected by saying "even the engines? (w00t) ". One must not forget that Pakistan is fully over-hauling (as said by the report) the machines, not building brand new. What they do is that they replace the parts of the F-16, including the engine OFCOURSE, with newer (reverse engineered ones?) time and again.This is my guess. So whats wrong with the statement?
Again, we dont know everything and we never will. We can just speculate and make good educated guesses. Thats all, isnt it?

i dun think anyone can judge on J-10's capabilities right now... due to the secretive nature of chinese military... but i do believe, from the many sources of the internet, J-10's should comprise some of the best tech tt can be found in china, and those are definitely more advance than those flankers tt china 1st received...Here dude! Let me run down the pro's and Con's for you.
Pro's:
As you say the transfer of technology and manufacturing expertise will be most beneficial to Pakistan!
PAF needs something urgent as no one else can supply any fighter even in the range of the FC-1/ F-16 Block 15 ADF!!
Finally the BVR capability will come! ( Even though it will be 10 years too late )!
The FC-1 will fill a very badly needed high tech aircraft niche in the PAF! there are only 30 or so F-16 A's/ B's ( Without BVR capability ) left to tackle the might of the IAF's frontline high tech 4th generation aircraft which now number close to 200!
Cons
As I said, it is 10 years too late! it should have been induced at the same time as the Chung Kuo! As it will be a very very similar aircraft!
It is purported that it will be able to launch the SD-10 BVR missile, but that's all up in the air currently! Nothing solid dude. Not even the first flight.
It is expensive at 15 million a piece. considering PAF can get the much more capable/ proven Su-27 from Ukraine, at 8-10 million a piece.
For China it is not atractive as they are concentrating full force on the J-11 series! You can see the FC-1 and J-10 have been neglected, as once again their original specifications have been largely superceded by the J-11!....Hence the coining of the series name J-11!
...It is quite obvious dude.
I think I have quite clearly expressed the reality here. Although it is just my opinion, and I am entitled to it.
Also Kikki! Not to belittle China or anybody else, but I just don't have much faith in the rhetoric and propaganda that the J-10 or FC-1 will be up to snuff, fully keeping China's existing R&D and manufacturing expertise and engineering into perspective! It will not be easy for the Chinese to make something even like the Flanker, and with all reports pointing to the bullshiit news like the J1-0 will be superior to the Flanker seris, I think is a bunch of rubbish (!) ...We'd be lucky to see it inducted in sufficient numbers to justify its concept! Just like the many many failed past experiments. We don't wanna go there Kiki! But you get the point.........
aerodynamically, J-10 is considered a modern design with a powerful engine... wat is not known is its avionics package, as tt will determine whether its worth investing in... considering the airframe is up to standard...
of course J-10 is a light aircraft while flankers are heavy type fighters, therefore certain aspects like combat radius, payload, radar range, etc will be superior for the flankers!
