We got about 200 of these, not bad for a country of 9M :) Most likelly the last of the Swedish warplanes - in the future we'll join the pan-European projects.

We've also got a few C-130s and a AWACS-type plane based on a SAAB-plane with an Ericsson radar up top.

btw - the Sweish airforce has only done real combat missions once - over Katanga in Congo (Kinshasa).

Yeah, ok. Israel isn't the best in the world, hate to break it to you, but you Jews need to realize that. German airforce is just as good if not better, and there are plenty other countries.

Israel's airforce is the one with the most practice, except, perhaps, the american one.
nothing to be happy about, since it means that we have had the most wars...

US Air Force: Stealth Bomber, nuff said.

US Air Force: Stealth Bomber, nuff said.
Many ppl dont know this but Russia also has stealth fighters and bombers. It is rumoured that they are superior to the US ones as well.It is interesting but they use a electro - magnetic plasma field around the aircraft to make it stealth.

here is an article about it-
here (http://robocat.users.btopenworld.com/su37.htm)
and the old plans for the bomber
here (http://www.aeronautics.ru/nws002/awst039.htm)

My favourite plane is the F14 tomcat and i also like the F-15 eagle. My fav airforce is the US and also the Russian. I was going to actually become a fighter pilot but i didn't have 20/20 vision :(

http://www.usaf.com/yf23/airto2.jpeg
Btw this plane doesnt exist anymore. It was the YF-23 'black widow' and it lost to the YF- 22 (now of course F-22 as the y denotes a prototype). Great plane have some advantages too.

I think that the new SCRAM technology for engines will be the way for the future.

I think in past 5 years only Russian, US, Israeli and UK air forces had to fire in anger, it gives you an indication how much we think of wars.

And to be frank this are not Israeli fighters, this are American aircraft, if US wasn't so generous (I just don’t ce reason why would that be) in giving Israel each year 2bnUS$ worth of hardware for free + surpluses) , I think Israel would have never be able to afford aircraft it has now in its airforce, it is mediocre country with stagnant economy high unemployment and no progress in peace with Palestinians.

Lets ce how long current ceasefire holds and hope we ce peace in middle east ,I say Israeli's wouldn't need such air force, don’t you think...

Being Brit I am ashamed of my country going to war for oil and feel I have nothing to bragg about killin inocent ppl in Iraq or anywhere else for that matter, if we where attacked fine but we havent, so whats the use...

Sorry for being political no offense to anyone....

Sep. 22, 2003 | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israeli air force pilots handily beat their German counterparts in "dogfights" in the first ever air force exercise between the two countries, an Israeli military official said Monday.

The Israeli F-15 pilots, aided by special technology that Israel does not share or sell to other countries, beat the Germans by more than 100 "hits," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In the past, Israel has beaten American air force pilots by similar margins, the officials added.

Israel purchases U.S. warplanes without battle technology, installing its own locally made systems into the aircraft.
The exercise was conducted over the past two weeks in the skies of Sardinia in Italy.

no, it is the JSF Joint Strike Fighter (lockheed) but the last made US Bomber is the B2 Stealth.

Well, that's quite depressing. One of the pilots in one of the pictures was on the same University Air Squadron as me, flying Bulldogs - obviously he made it to the front line whereas I clearly didn't... :(

yes but you have over a thousand posts - and how many does he have? You so own him ;)

And I like to say think of peace ppl we should talk infrastructure and economy, growth architecture not wars, just a thought…

Sorry for being political no offense to anyone....

Please don't tell people you are a brit unless you start to use the english language as a means of communication, not confusion. It gives us a bad name.

War for oil? The two tax paying british oil giants Shell and BP have just announced record profits. They have no oil fields in Iraq or previous contracts with Saddam Hussain. You'll find that the adamant anti-war brigade of France, Russia and China do however have such interests, so for them, it was about oil. For us it was about international security and liberation from tyrany.



The UK forces are getting the VSTOL version of the JSF to replace the pioneering and amazing Harrier (A british plane that can take off and land like a helicopter. The only plane ever imported by US forces. 28 of them were sent to the falklands to defeat the entire Argentinian airforce of over 200 aircraft. No losses against 27 kills in combat with the Argentinian Airforce who nicknamed it 'Black Death')

OMG! The most impressive air force I've ever seen!!! :eek2:

Indeed, no airforce could give a shit to this.

lol shit!

Many ppl dont know this but Russia also has stealth fighters and bombers. It is rumoured that they are superior to the US ones as well.It is interesting but they use a electro - magnetic plasma field around the aircraft to make it stealth.

here is an article about it-
here (http://robocat.users.btopenworld.com/su37.htm)
and the old plans for the bomber
here (http://www.aeronautics.ru/nws002/awst039.htm)

My favourite plane is the F14 tomcat and i also like the F-15 eagle. My fav airforce is the US and also the Russian. I was going to actually become a fighter pilot but i didn't have 20/20 vision :(

http://www.usaf.com/yf23/airto2.jpeg
Btw this plane doesnt exist anymore. It was the YF-23 'black widow' and it lost to the YF- 22 (now of course F-22 as the y denotes a prototype). Great plane have some advantages too.

I think that the new SCRAM technology for engines will be the way for the future.

keyword rumors? truth is both of us have no clue. lol.

^ well acutally its more like an educated guess. It only because the tech the USA use determines the shape of the plane, hence limiting its maneuverability. The Russian rather doesnt rely on the shape at all, rather the plasma field is used. As you can see with the su-37 its shape would make it highly maneuverable. It doesnt need to be flat or at certain angles.
Anyway its great stuff for fighter plane fans like me :)

Please don't tell people you are a brit unless you start to use the english language as a means of communication, not confusion. It gives us a bad name.

War for oil? The two tax paying british oil giants Shell and BP have just announced record profits. They have no oil fields in Iraq or previous contracts with Saddam Hussain. You'll find that the adamant anti-war brigade of France, Russia and China do however have such interests, so for them, it was about oil. For us it was about international security and liberation from tyrany.



The UK forces are getting the VSTOL version of the JSF to replace the pioneering and amazing Harrier (A british plane that can take off and land like a helicopter. The only plane ever imported by US forces. 28 of them were sent to the falklands to defeat the entire Argentinian airforce of over 200 aircraft. No losses against 27 kills in combat with the Argentinian Airforce who nicknamed it 'Black Death')

yhea right, :weirdo:

Swedish air force, UAV
http://www.saabaerosystems.com/images/18.1ab11b0ff453ffcd87fff139/sharc.jpg
The SHARC technology demonstrator is developed in cooperation with the Swedish Defense Administration. The first flight took place in February 2002, and in September 2003 a 20 km autonomous flight was performed. Autonomous take off and landing capabilities are planned for 2004 and, within five years, the demonstrator will be fully certified to accomplish operations on its own.

FILUR
http://www.saabaerosystems.com/images/18.1ab11b0ff453ffcd87fff138/filur.jpg http://products.saab.se/PDBWeb/GetFile.aspx?pathtype=ProductFiles&filetype=Images&id=5823
FILUR is a low-signature UAV demonstrator developed by Saab for the Swedish Defense Administration. The main objective of this technology program is to develop stealth capabilities and evaluate what is feasible today in the area of radar signatures. The first autonomous flight is scheduled for 2005(this year)
http://www.saabaerosystems.com/images/18.1ab11b0ff453ffcd87fff178/male.jpg
In 2004 Saab also initiated development of a Medium Altitude Long Endurance UAV (MALE). The MALE is designed for combat, surveillance and reconnaissance operations covering larger areas and high altitudes. MALE can be used for long-range surveillance, electronic warfare or combat missions, and for linking communications, traffic surveillance or other public services.

Neuron
In cooperation with French-based Dassault, Saab is developing a UAV with combat capabilities. The Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) is initially intended for evaluation of future cutting-edge technology, for example: advanced avionics, autonomy, stealth technology, weapons, and adaptation to network-based defense systems. Saab's main focus is on areas like avionics systems, airworthiness, stealth, autonomy and multi-payload capabilities.
First flight is planned to 2009.

"UCAV" stands for Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle.

TUAV
In 2004 Saab initiated development of a Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV). The TUAV will be an affordable and cost-effective combat and reconnaissance aircraft certified for controlled airspaces. The TUAV can be used for short-range surveillance, electronic warfare or combat missions, and for linking communications, traffic surveillance or other public services.

yhea right, :weirdo:

Check it out then you thick cunt. Or smoke pot and pretend you know it all. Either way I don't care.

For us it was about international security and liberation from tyrany.

yeah I mean saddam hussein was just about to press the button and lauch his massive arsenal of millions ICBMs armed with sarin when the american troops found him in his hole/top secret battle command station. lucky for the UK... the UK was his primary target. :cheers:

It was the :weirdo: sign that he included, suggesting I was talking shit.

If he'd care to check his facts before questioning mine then there would be no need for such a response. I mean, if I called you a weirdo for saying the earth was not flat, then you would want to call me a thick cunt for sure.

When there are military dictatorships in charge around the world, then the world is less secure (=> INTERNATIONAL SECURITY)

Saddam Hussain Murdered thousands of his own people and was the cause of crippling sanctions on his country whilst he lived in palaces. He would have developed ICBMs and Nuclear Capability had he been given the freedom to do so (=> TYRANNY)

I suggest you go and visit the Kurds who were gased in Halabja and think about your comfortable life in Dubai. You'd have been far worse off if 'we' hadn't got involved in the first place (where after Kuwait?)

Now thank us because you'll sure as hell be asking for our help if anything like that ever happened closer to home.

Probably not all that much, I do believe in "black programs" such as USAF's Aurora SR-X (replacement for SR-71 Blackbird) and X-33 though.
Aurora SR-X is believed to have a top speed of Mach 20+ and is fully piloted, while the X-33 is not.

"Aurora was first heard about in 1985, where, in the Pentagon's budget request, a censor's error left an item labelled "Aurora", with a reference to production funding starting in 1987. It was located to the SR-71 and U2's production costs. (Two other spy planes). The Pentagon refused all requests to comment on it, and has never been mentioned since."

^^^ When the drop the tag "ROYAL".

^^^ When the drop the tag "ROYAL".
clarify your sentence please

^^ MAY I KNOW WHY THEY USE THE TAG 'royal'

Well you should know this

even India used to hold the tag RIAF but i guess you guys got rid of it right away.

Pakistan kept the RPAF tage after partition for sometime because of the heavy British influence in our airforce at the time mainly because of Karachi airport which was the hub of the South Asia. Anyways it was given the tag by the british ACM in charge at that time.

a quick side note

the pic below is a picture of the FC-1 which is the co produced(China and Pakistan) fighter. Its currently being upgraded and is almost on par with the block 45 F-16. PAC is getting ready to make these in Pakistan and export them to other nations.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/cheenamalai/cac-fc-1-jf-17dr.jpg

have they dropped that tag now...

Not sure 100% but i believe its faded away

btw some still call it RPAF

anyways i like to leave it at PAF/RPAF

Its PAF now I think. I dont see anyone calling it RPAF anymore.

Well i guess it can go both ways just a prefrence?

Good airforce there

PAF needs more aircrafts in their quest for world power status

Good airforce there

PAF needs more aircrafts in their quest for world power status
We dont need weapons of destruction when we olny have one enemy on the east and PAF is modernizing anyways its the quality not the quantity

PAF needs more aircrafts in their quest for world power statusI don't think Pakistan has any intention to become a super power.

^ A worldpower need not be a Superpower too . eg : France .

Pakistan is the savior of Islamic world - being the only Islamic nuclear power and the 2nd most populous muslim country .

Pakistan definitely needs more F-16s and likes
Pakistan's India fixation has to go and Pakistani youth should perceive themselves as an Islamic power

After all , Pakistan is the 5th most populous country on planet

Hmm i think we are getting new f-16s from USA. 86 in total. 75 new ones and 11 used ones if i am correct

Pakistan's India fixation?

Dude we dont even equate our military with yours!

We equate our military with superpowers like China

India is far behind and in 2010 you guys will be blown away anyway after we get more advanced equipment from both the US and China including the AWACs killer SAM and the TPS-77 Radar

And Indians are the ones with the fixation on Pakistan hell this thread proves it as well where the Indians just had to come and make unacceptable comments.

^^ Pakistanunited cracks nice jokes

Yeah those statements are exaggarted.

Anyways, those 75 new f-16s are F16 C/D block 52 and rest 11 are used.

^^ Pakistanunited cracks nice jokes
Really have any info to prove me wrong?

And superman has no clue what he is talking about as he doesnt know anything about the military.

UK ready to sell Type-23 ships to Pakistan

Pak Observer

London—Chief of the Naval Staff Shahid Karimullah said on Monday that Britain has offered to sell three Tpye-23 ships to Pakistan. Britain showed its interest in selling the ships and “we have shown interest” in purchasing the same, Admiral Karimuall said after talks with his British counterpart Admiral First Sea Lord Sir Alan West. Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Britain Dr. Maleeha Lodhi also attended the talks.

“Now onward we are going to discuss the funding aspect, price aspect and once that is completed then a final decision could be taken,” Admiral Karimullah said.

The Chief of the Naval Staff arrived here Sunday on a 6-day official visit on the invitation of his British counterpart, who had visited Pakistan two years ago.

Replying to a question, he said the focus of his discussion with Sir Alan West was basically on “the training aspect because the maximum training acquired by Pakistan Navy is from the Royal Navy.”

“Pakistan Navy requires more surface ships and that is the reason why the Government has now concluded a contract with the Chinese for more ships,” he said.

Answering a question he said Pakistan’s role in the fight against terrorism had been internationally recognized and appreciated.

He said his visit to London would further cement friendship and understanding between Pakistan and Britain

The Admiral said two Pakistani ships would be participating in the UK celebration of Battle of Trafalgar, which he called “flag-showing diplomacy” of the Navy.—APP

Concept

The Type 23 frigate is a true child of the Falklands War, as it represented the first occasion in which the painful lessons of the South Atlantic could be applied to a new class of ship.

The Type 23, or Duke class, was conceived in the late 1970s as an anti-submarine warship which could hold its own as a general-purpose weapon platform - in other words, a specialist submarine hunter but also a good all-rounder.

At about the same time the idea of the EH-101 was emerging from the wreckage of the WG34 programme, and these two resulting machines - the Type 23 frigate and the Merlin helicopter - progressed very much in tandem, with an eye to their combined capabilities.

When the first Type 23 orders were placed in October 1984 with Yarrow Shipbuilders at Scotstoun on the Clyde, who acted as designers and lead builder, the Duke class was to be first and foremost a series of ultra-quiet anti-submarine ships.

But the Falklands War of 1982 had a crucial role in the evolution of the design - for example, the major elements of the Type 23's weapon fit were not finalised until after the construction contract was signed, so rapid was the development of weapons systems.

Among the areas of particular concern were the ships' survivability, and their ability to defend themselves in combat. As a result, the Type 23 packs a bigger punch than many similar-sized ships, and its structural features qualify it as a genuinely 'stealthy' vessel.

The class remained, at the bottom line, an anti-submarine ship, and the Dukes were expected to patrol the deep waters of the North Atlantic with a towed sonar array which could pick up and track the sound of Soviet submarines.

Confused sonar patterns in shallower waters were to present fewer problems to the Type 23 than to earlier ships as the frigate's propulsions system was also designed to radiate as little noise as possible, both to avoid confusing the ship's own sonar, and to prevent the Royal Navy warship being detected by its prey.

The need to operate the Merlin helicopter - a bigger and heavier aircraft than the Sea King - was a major factor in the size of the vessel, and the fact that an aircraft is available for operations to a much higher degree when there is a sheltered environment in which to maintain it determined that the frigates would have a hangar.

As the design became crystallised and the time approached for the cutting of steel at the Glasgow shipyard, the Type 23 was expected to become a mainstay of the NATO fleet as it sought to contain Soviet forces in the far North, and to contribute to other operations in the Atlantic and other, shallower, seas.

It was certainly designed to form the backbone of the Royal Navy's surface flotilla, making up around half of the destroyer-frigate force - the workhorses of the modern Navy.

Stealth

Type 23 frigates were the first ships designed for the Royal Navy as stealth vessels, and as such, 'signature reduction' - the elimination of as much noise, heat and reflection as possible - was an important factor in the shape of the hull and installation of machinery.

The two principal signatures addressed by the Duke class are noise and radar cross-section.

Modern anti-submarine ships need to be quiet to avoid interfering with their own sonar systems, both hull-mounted and towed, and so the need to cut underwater noise has been paramount.

The choice of propulsion system - a combined diesel electric and gas turbine layout - is unusual for the Royal Navy, but fits the bill perfectly.

When required to sprint, the two Rolls-Royce Spey gas turbines feed 23.2mW through a GEC gearbox to two shafts, allowing the Type 23 to reach speeds approaching 30 knots.

But while tracking a contact, when silence is vital, the ship is powered by two GEC electric motors, connected directly to the shafts and turning two big low-speed revolving propellers. This means the noisy gearboxes, lubricating pumps and other linked machinery can be shut down, eliminating clutter in the sonar picture.

All noise-generating machinery has been identified and isolated by insulating material, or by being placed on acoustic rafts, and hull vibration equipment monitors unusual noise to help identify particular problems from within the ship.

Meanwhile the radar cross-section - the size of the target the ship presents to an enemy radar operator - has also been addressed.

The strength of the echo a ship presents is not directly related to its size - modern radar reflectors on small yachts and fishing boats present large radar cross-sections - but to other factors such as the wavelength at which the radar illuminates its target.

By reducing this cross-section, the chance of an enemy radar-guided missile locking-on is reduced, and there is consequently a better chance of decoys distracting the incoming missile.

Because the main threat was perceived as being from sea-skimming missiles, with a single combined transmitter and receiver low on the horizon, the geometry of the Type 23 was designed to prevent radar beams being reflected back to the missile.

The superstructure has a seven degree slope to all vertical surfaces, and all edges are rounded, while the 133-metre hull is noticeably flared along its length; this means the horizontal radar beams of the enemy missile are scattered harmlessly into the sky or sea, and not back to the weapon.

Just as importantly, deck fittings and equipment have been reduced as much as possible, and that which remains is designed to present a minimal signature; all the good work of the hull and superstructure design could have been undone with a poorly-designed locker or housing.

Anti-submarine

The Duke class is an effective submarine hunter - and when it finds its target, it possesses the ability to do a lot of damage.

Towed sonar arrays - Type 2031 in the first ten of the class, with the remaining six expected to be fitted with the new Type 2087 from the middle of the decade - and the hull-mounted Type 2050, in a bow dome, pick up the sound of a submarine at considerable distances.

Towed arrays are most effective when streamed out behind the frigates at a low speed in deep, quiet water, and contacts can be cross-checked against known surface shipping in the area to refine the search for an enemy boat.

Merlin will add the icing to the cake by providing a fast, long-range pinpoint capability - it can fly off to check a particular sound with its dipping sonar, and data from the aircraft will be sent direct to the ship, effectively extending the anti-submarine clout of the Dukes by hundreds of miles.

If an attack is deemed necessary, the Merlin can deliver up to four lightweight Stingray homing torpedoes or depth bombs at some distance from the mother ship; if the contact is at close quarters, the Duke class can also fire Stingrays from two sets of twin launch tubes.

Top of Page

Self-defence

Again, the Falklands War provided a painful reminder of the need for effective self-defence for any ship, and the Duke class reflects that lesson.

Type 23 frigates now operate worldwide as singletons - on their own, maybe with just a small Fleet tanker for support - but can just as easily be called in to act as a close escort for a task group.

The first line of defence for the frigates is the electronic warfare (EW) suite and air-warning systems, vital in an anti-air warfare (AAW) scenario.

The latter is centred on a flexible, three-dimensional radar system, Type 996(1), which scans for and identifies both high-level aircraft or diving missiles and sea-skimming threats, linking in to the ship's combat system to allow such threats to be dealt with quickly.

Merlin, with its Blue Kestrel 5000 radar, can also act as an airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft in such situations.

Once identified, an aerial threat will most likely be dealt with using the vertical launch Seawolf system; the vertical launch pattern is particularly useful in that there is no 'blind spot' on the ship - any missile can be handled by the most convenient fire-control tracker, whereas older systems tied a missile to a particular tracker, which might be at the wrong angle to counter the incoming missile or aircraft.

Seawolf missiles are situated in a rack of 32 canisters just forward of the bridge, breaking through the cover of the tube when launched and clearing the ship before discarding the launch booster motor and turning to meet the threat.

In addition, ships of the Duke class have two 30mm power-driven anti-aircraft cannon amidships, and the Vickers 4.5in gun forward of the Seawolf launch system can also knock aircraft out of the sky.

Passive defence is provided by a Sea Gnat decoy system and electronic jamming devices, and a towed torpedo decoy may be deployed.

Attack

In addition to the anti-submarine warfare capabilities outlined earlier, and those systems primarily designed for self-defence, the Type 23 frigate has a number of attacking weapons.

The Vickers Mk 8 4.5in gun is primarily fitted for naval gunfire support operations, banging off 21kg shells to a distance of more than 12 miles, and it can just as easily be used against ships.

Duke-class frigates also carry Harpoon missiles as the principal weapon in dealing with the threat from other warships or surface targets; these missiles carry a hefty warhead more than 70 miles at close to the speed of sound, using radar to home in on the target in the final stages of the attack.

If a Lynx helicopter is carried, then air-launched Sea Skua anti-ship missiles are also available.

The ship's company

A warship, as the Royal Navy will never tire of telling you, is only as effective as the men and women who fight it, and in the case of the Type 23 frigate, they are a highly-skilled and select group.

For a ship of its size - 4,200 tons, when fully loaded - there is only a modest requirement for up to 180 people, of whom just over a dozen will be officers. The Duke class are a good example of the Royal Navy's lean-manning policy in practice.

Extensive automation means that many of the critical systems are computerised - from the weapons and sensors, through the main engines and electrical distribution systems, to the catering accounts and pay and personnel records.

The ship's company is divided into various departments within the ship, with the Operations Department being at the sharp end.

The Operations Department is itself split into five distinct divisions: missile, sonar, radar, electronic warfare and communications.

The Missile Division man the Seawolf and Harpoon systems, and - somewhat anachronistically - the 4.5in gun.

Sonar Division are responsible for manning the submarine detection systems, while Radar Division looks after the radar displays in the Operations Room ('Ops Room') and plot data received from other ships and aircraft.

Electronic Warfare (EW) ratings analyse electronic signals of all kinds to identify which ships, aircraft or other sources are transmitting them.

The Communications Division (Comms) keep the ship in touch with shore-based headquarters and maintain tactical communication with friendly ships and aircraft in the immediate area.

The Ops Room is the heart of the Operations Department, closely linked to the Sound Room. In these two areas all the incoming data from sensors is processed and displayed, allowing the ship's commanding officer, the Principal Warfare Officer (PWO, pronounced pea-woe) and the Command Team to gauge the bigger picture - the whereabouts of friendly and enemy units in an area stretching for hundreds of miles.

Any direct threat to the ship, or to the force of which the ship is a member, can be assessed and an appropriate course of action taken - which could mean bringing one of the weapons systems to bear.

The ship's aircraft - Lynx, Sea King or Merlin are all possibilities - are also manned by Ops Department personnel

The Marine Engineering Department is primarily responsible for running, maintaining and repairing the non-weapon equipment, which includes everything from the main propulsion motors to the sanitary services and domestic facilities.

Apart from the engines, described earlier, the ME department looks after four generators which supply power for all the departments on board - whether the means to run a sophisticated missile system or simply to switch on a bunk-head lamp.

All fresh water used on board the frigates is produced from seawater by the reverse osmosis method, providing water for drinking, cooking, washing and cleaning.

The department is also responsible for the distribution systems by which water, fuel, oil and ventilation are delivered to the point at which they are needed.

And while integrated circuits and other modern technology means systems are controlled and monitored automatically, the computer age does not mean the human touch is redundant - highly-skilled artificers and mechanics are needed to operate and maintain the equipment.

The levels of knowledge required in both electrical and mechanical fields means the ME department contains some of the most highly-trained personnel in the Navy.

The Weapon Engineering Department maintains the ship's sensor, communications and weapons systems, which in the Duke class includes the Vertical Launch Seawolf close-range defence system.

Seawolf consists of two tracking radars, one forward and one aft, and a silo of 32 missiles which are launched automatically.

The Type 23 also has a magazine torpedo launch system, allowing Marconi Stingray torpedoes to be fired from within the ship itself through doors on either side of the hangar superstructure and then reloaded automatically.

Among the sensors under the care of the WE Department are the 996 radar, Ferranti/Thomson Sintra Type 2050 bow-mounted sonar, and the latest in electronic warfare, the UAF system, which passively monitors and identifies radar emissions which reach the ship.

At the heart of these systems is a computer-based command system, which not only communicates with and controls weapons and sensor systems, but also allows these systems to pass information between themselves independently of the command system itself.

Finally, the department is responsible for the ship's integrated communications system, which gathers and distributes incoming messages, and transmits information from the ship via satellite or radio links.

Once again the men and women in the department are trained to a much higher level than has been needed in the Navy in previous decades, and they use a battery of diagnostic tools to ensure all defects are rectified immediately, and all maintenance is up to date, to keep the ship fighting fit.

The Supply and Secretariat Department provides logistic support, administration and 'hotel services' for the ship.

It is split into several sections, including the Stores Accountant, Chef, Caterer, Steward and Writer specialisations, as well as the civilian roles of NAAFI canteen manager and laundry manager.

Stores Accountants are responsible for six major store rooms which contain up to 18,000 different items valued at well over £1 million.

The majority of these spares are vital parts used in the maintenance of the frigate's weapon, propulsion and ancillary systems, and to help them the SAs have a computerised stockholding and stowage location system.

The Chefs, supervised by a Petty Officer Caterer, ensure the ship is fully stocked with the food and drink needed to provide a balanced and varied diet for the ship's company, and once again they are helped by a bespoke computer system.

Cooking is undertaken in a single galley, from where it is served to the two dining halls or transferred to the Wardroom.

Stewards ensure the day-to-day smooth running of the officers' mess on board, although they are also responsible for the organisation and presentation of formal functions on board - during a deployment, they will be expected to rise to the occasion on a regular basis as visiting VIPs and dignitaries are welcomed on to the frigate.

The Ship's Office is the administrative centre, where Writers co-ordinate pay, cash, personnel records and correspondence, and once again computers now play an important part in the organisation of their work.

The two civilians on board are the NAAFI manager and the laundry manager.

The NAAFI manager runs the canteen services for the ship's company, stocking everything from shampoo to beer and chocolate to shoe polish. The NAAFI is also regarded as a good place on board to catch the buzz - find out what's going on around the ship and beyond.

The laundry manager provides a same-day service on cleaning services on a repayment basis.

Now please do not ruin it.Go check the topic for yourself and see what you posted. And what were you guys thinking when you ruined those topics and now asking us not to ruin them?

I did NOT ruin your whatever vs threads. You said some crap abt our cities and I defended it. Now this is MY thread. Do not ruin it with further argument.

Well i think you should talk to your Indian forumers since they started it

I did not said crap about your cities, it was your forumers who brought up India in those topics. If your Indian forums hadn't brought up India in those topics, you wouldn't see me so pissed off today.

double post

The Aviation Scene:
By Thakurani Veena Kanwar

The Light Combat Aircraft, notwithstanding all the protestations to the contrary is as dead as a dodo. The Kaveri Gas Turbine Engine has failed and has still not been test flown. The replacement, the Watt and Pratley, GE 404 engine, which had powered the F-4 is no longer being produced in United States of America. Thus even if the American sanctions have been lifted this engine will never be available. The Air Force has also given up on the aircraft and is now talking of a new aircraft which they have termed the Medium Combat Aircraft which would have greater weapon load carrying capacity. That means that the entire exercise will have to be started de novo.

the LCA, a great achievement for which the country has laid down Rs 5,000 crore (US $ 1.15 Billion at US $ 1 = Indian Rs 43.44) investment so far. The IAF makes a show of being interested, but its equipment plans are aimed at strangling the programme.

Pakistani Built indigenous FC-1

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/images/fc-1_1.jpg

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/7831/JF-17-Deftalk29.jpg

Why is it written in Chinese if it is supposed to be Pakistani built indigenous FC-1. BTW, isn't FC-1 supposed to mean Fighter China-1. So how exactly is it indegenious.

Why would they name it Fighter China. Wouldn't they name it Fighter Pakistan or something like that.

Well i guess someone is pissed lol

Its co produced Pakistan sent its scientists and basically using China's facilities to build it but everything except the engine will be built in Pakistan. Now try to be smart and answer my post.

^ If what you wrote is to be believed , its a blessing in disguise that they wont be spending taxpayers hard-earned money on more such aircrafts before eradicating poverty in India .

As for Pakistan , since its the sole saviour of Islamic world, it definitely needs to elevate its defence budget and grab more aircrafts , ICBMs and expand their existings arsenals :)

I take inspiration from this cartoon :

To PU :Built yeah, but is it designed in Pakistan. I won't dwell into further problems regarding that.

Anyways, if you want to have a disucssion in military stuff, see the link in my previous post. I think people over there can answer you better(not that I cannot, but I won't coz, I don't want to ruin this thread with discussions, I just wanna see the pictures of AF's of different countries :). ) This thread has been doing great till now.

Hey PU, if you are intrested in military stuff, here's a nice international forum for you.

http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/
That site is run by a racist fool

We contacted key publishing and threatened to report them to the FBI racial profiling unit and the owners said they werent aware of this and how Pakistanis were immediatly banned and Indians were allowed to flame Pakistanis without warning. And that moderator Harry who deleted all Pakistani posts. I hope thats not you or else i will have fun doing some stuff.

We have no intrest in becoming a world power all we want is peace in the region by balancing the power and then strenghthening our economy.

This topic is not to flame towards any other person or forum. It is just to get other posters informed about one sided bashing on an international forum. I received several personal posts from menbers of this forum about the negative treatment they received. I think it is time to collect that info.

This is the forum:
http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=5

The forum is lead by a webmaster David Morfee ( david.morfee@keypublishing.com ). For the rest there are three mods. Arthur (a dutch journalist), Google and Harry (an Indian that used to bash and flame towards anything related to Pakistan). It was a shock to find out that this Harry was elected as a mod cause in the past he has been very fanatic nationalistic person. He still thinks that Indian weapons are superior compared to anything in the west. And anyone, including seniors from western forums, are getting some tough time if they want to show that Indian products are maybe not not the best. Harry allows other Indian members to attack and if one reacts one finds himself warned or banned even without evidence. It is very strnage that in the warned or banned post only Pakistani posters are listed. It is strange that if asked no evidence is given. It is strange that one gets personal mail from Indian posters and they know your real name, IP or an ID you have been used some 6 years ago. I don't find it a problem that Indians think that their products are superior. We all know that they think that LCA and Gripen are comparable. Or the fact that Brahmos is entirely Indian. Let them. But the fact that posters are personal bashed and banned without a reason is wrong. I have been asking them to correct an Indian poster called F18 hamburger for using offensive signature. No correction. After that another Pakistani poster posted the same about Indian poster and it was corrected within a day. Let us even add that Indian posters use several nicknames. Some posters are just starting and know everything. They openly admit that they are on AFM forum to flame. Even then they are not warned or banned. A guy like Nitin or Infinity has been real flamy poster. Somehow they receive full protection. We can accept that and sit and wait. I don't think that keeping it unreported will help. AFM forum is well known and the mag is very popular. Just ignoring is not the way to solve this matter. We should all report here the bashing and banning. I know some posters say that we should ignore. Well that did not help much, did it?

Can you answer my question?

Are you harry?

no doubt that USA and Russia make the best platforms

^^^ :yes:. But the French also make decent stuff. The Dassault Rafale is supposed to be really good.

^^^ :yes:. But the French also make decent stuff. The Dassault Rafale is supposed to be really good.

i'm talking about platforms, planes, helicopters, ships, submarines.
the best platforms come from USA Russia and joint european projects like Eurofighter. of course many coutries specializing in some areas, some in avionics some in optics, aome in surveillance etc.
btw, what is Dassault Rafale exactly?

Well they shouldn't. F18 is not a good plane (Good on paper but in reality....)

Harir your language is very close to persian. You have writen O my land O my land. DOnt cry i will dry your tears and stuff didnt you. You have also said something about a war. Am i right??

I dont think you will see India buying many more planes after this year. They are expected to join up with Russia and create a new 5th-Generation Fighter jet. It will the next version of the Su-37 with some features of the test plane Su-47.

^^ Actually they are looking for around 126 Multi Role Combat Aircraft, to replace the Jaguars, Mig-21s and Mig-23s.Currently Superhornet, Mig-29(being marketed as improved Mig-35), Mirage-2005/9 and Jas-39 Grippen are in race.

The 5th generation plane with Russia is a totally different project. I think they signed some kind of an agreement for a plane called PAK-FA, but dunno when will that PAK-FA come out :dunno:.

Actually, it does have something to do with nation. Although it does not say anything about tears and all.
