Pakistan Army Aviation Possible acquisitions

This question seems like a bait. To assume that the guys at MRF are clueless, about Al and Composites, is absolutely incorrect.

The few inquiries I made, the response I got is no heat treatments take place in the rebuild process. I didn't ask a question in my post - bringing out an interesting and important aspect that PAC appears to have missed.

Bro, how reliable will be answers given to civilians, forget foreigners?

How did you notice that? were you physically present when they were doing that? or did you read some official PAF document that states that?

One thing I noticed is when Pak rebuilds Mirages, they don't treat the metal for fatigue using metallurgical techniques. Some of the ways this can be done even I have learned via personal research. There are ways to get some reduction in fatigue using metallurgical processes but Pak engineers didn't learn or use them.

They seem to copy how the Americans work on their F-16 rebuilding but they miss out an important point - F-16s have advanced materials, composites, which is very different from all aluminium airframes of Pakistan's airframes. The treatment metallurgically of these later types is a lot simpler and effective, while the former has no case for such treatment and need replacement.

The inability to think, research, learn, and be dependent on copying goras is a critical weakness that shows up everywhere ultimately.

I have had the opportunity to visit the Mirage rebuild factory, admittedly a long time ago. Additionally, I've managed to talk to PAC folks more recently. Mirage airframes don't go through heat treatments. This is what is known and you can attempt to confirm. There is a video somewhere showing the processes that the Mirages go through as well.

Btw do you know the source/website the page uses.Previously radarbox 24 had this layout but its no longer there and radarbox 24 changed name to airnav radarbox but doesn't give this levelnof detail

i don't know but it seems they operate on twitter regardless of any website. they are UK based they were probably the first to track the coordinates of IAF Netra AEW and IL78 refuller on the morning of 26 Feb last year.

I really want to find the website they use.The sources they quote on the bottom of the image dont give the level of detail found in the pic

may be they compile data from all those sources mentioned and post but that is hell lot of work for any flight to come up with and for thousands of aircraft in air.

IF any cargo a/c lands in the Azores, it means it is a re-fueling stop, due to a full load. Otherwise, they can skip that point.

 

[Nightfox]

Did it land in the Azores though ?

I dont I'm asking you, since this is the normal SOP.

Sir the source i shared just shows jets leaving or entering airspace.The source does not track them.Its a twitter page,cant expect much info from it other than the pics it shares.
