Fictional Joint Aerial Exercise between Pakistan Airforce and Egyptian Airforce Jf-17 Block 2  over the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza . The Egyptian Jf17 , i ve drawn here in EAF's high visibility camo, their early F-16 A wear . Could have used the recent one , but this looks cooler . Though its similarity to a target drone like USAF QF-4 Phantom jets is also startling .

Why Egypt use such high visibility camo for its fighter jets ?

F-35 Joint Strike Fighter For TuAF Turkey [HD] wallpaper

The Joint Strike Fighter, which is being built by Lockheed Martin as the F35 Lightning II, will replace the TuAF F-16 falcons and vintage F-4 Phantoms from 2016. Although Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor, the TAI is a Level 3 partner with the US and a number of British companies, including BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce, will have extensive involvement in building and developing the aircraft.

Turkey receives its first F-35 Lightening II

A historic flight. Turk Hava Kuvvetleri replaces its F-4 with its brand new F-35 5th gen fighter .

[Military Photoshops:News Desk] Konya Airbase Turkey : The first Turkish Airforce F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft has been received here at Konya Airbase today. .

The conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft, made its debut flight on June 01, 2016 , Lockheed Martin announced Monday.

A series of functional flight checks were conducted during the flight that lasted for 45 minutes.

The jet will undergo a series of flight trials before being handed over to the Turkish Airforce which will then use the 5th Generation fighter for training and operational tests at the Konya Air Force Base, beginning later this year, Lockheed said.

While a final decision on the total number of F-35s it will acquire is still pending, the Turkish Government is now reconsidering its decision to buy the F-35C carrier variants of the jets and may switch back to ordering the F-35A CTOL variants as decided originally.

 These aircrafts will replace the F-4 phantom bought from theUS in the 70s and 80s .

F-35 Lightening II for Japan JASDF

WASHINGTON (Jiji Press)--The U.S. Defense Department has notified Congress of its estimate that the planned acquisition of 42 state-of-the-art F-35 stealth fighters by Japan's Air Self-Defense Force will cost a total of 10 billion dollars.
This is the first time that the overall estimated price for the sale to Japan of F-35 jets, built by Lockheed Martin Corp., has been revealed.

The revelation will likely add to controversy in Japan over the introduction of the fighters at a time when delays in their development have raised worries about deferred deliveries and a rise in prices.
According to the notice to Congress by the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency, as of Monday, the total estimated cost includes the F-35 aircraft bodies, satellite-based electronic warfare systems, spare and repair parts, and personnel training expenses.

The bureau said Japan is "a key ally of the United States in ensuring the peace and stability of this region." It also said the proposed sale of the aircraft and support "will not alter the basic military balance in the region."
Last December, the government selected the F-35, jointly developed by nine countries including the United States and Britain, as the nation's next-generation fighter to replace the aging fleet of F-4 fighters. It plans to deploy 42 F-35 fighters and set aside outlays for the first four units in the fiscal 2012 budget.

Under the budget, Japan earmarked about 8.9 billion yen per F-35 aircraft body. By contrast, the U.S. estimate means a unit price of 238 million dollars, or about 19.1 billion yen at current exchange rates, more than double the Japanese calculation, though the U.S. figure also includes ancillary equipment and training expenses.

The Defense Ministry intends to choose the F-35 fighter jet, jointly being developed by the United States, Britain, Australia and six other countries, as the next frontline fighter plane in the Air Self-Defense Force's arsenal, it has been learned.

The ministry will officially name the advanced F-35 as a successor to the ASDF's current F-4 fighter jet Friday at a meeting of the Security Council of Japan led by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.In the budgetary request for fiscal 2012, the ministry has posted 55.1 billion yen as procurement expenses for four F-35 jets. The ministry eventually plans to deploy about 40 jets in the future.

Japan has not participated in the joint development project, which is being led by U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp.

In the process to choose its next-generation fighter jet, the ministry and ASDF were drawn to the F-35's technologies that include the latest stealth capability that enables it to more efficiently evade radar detection, as well as its ability to inform F-35 pilots about key information gathered from various sources including ground radars and Aegis-equipped vessels.

Though Japan is not a participating nation in the F-35 project, the U.S. government has stated it disclosed some classified information about the jet's body to its Japanese counterpart. This means Japan's companies will be involved in the F-35's manufacturing process. The Defense Ministry believes the introduction of the jet will help the country to maintain an understanding of the F-35's basic technology.

There is concern that the first of the jets might not be available during the ministry-set deadline of fiscal 2016 due to development delays caused by a U.S. defense spending cut.

Despite this, it is said that the U.S. government has promised that the jets will be delivered to Japan during fiscal 2016.

This is the first time in about 30 years that the Defense Ministry will choose a next-generation fighter jet. The ministry has been evaluating the F-35 against two other candidates--the F/A-18E/F, which is mainly manufactured by U.S. firm Boeing Co., and the Eurofighter, jointly developed by four European nations headed by Britain's BAE Systems PLC.

The Defense Ministry and the ASDF graded the three jets using a 100-point scale on four aspects: performance, related expenses, influence on domestic industries, and ease of maintenance and repair.

What IF ? Sukhoi T-50 for the Pakistan Air Force

[Military Photoshops : News Desk] As tensions between Pakistan and US grow to a melting point, Pakistan has, in move which baffled the world politics moved away from its partnership from US in every aspect of IR from Trade to Military Co-operation. This moved has been welcomed by China and Russia alike. Pakistan is now looking to develop its trade relationships with its neighbouring countries, something which shouldve been done half a century ago. Russia in an unfathomable display of trust has permitted the release of its top most stealth fighter Sukhoi T-50 . Russia has also assured to play its part in resolving the Kashmir issue. Indian reservations have been buffed aside in part due to her recent honey moon with US and European nations and because Russians believe that if Kashmir Issue is resolved peacefully, India and Pakistan would have no reason to war any longer .

Republic Of Korean Air Force Chengdu J-10 S photo v2.0

This is the revised version of the Republic Of Korean Air Force Chengdu J-10 S , earlier  it of which was posted here.. Most of the changes here follow the tips given by Erik Simonsen on our Facebook page Military Photoshops . To quote Erik :

•   Nice PhotoShop work - however, a couple of details -- ROKAF pilots have gray camouflage helmets with larger visors & green camouflage flight suits. ROKAF uses air-to-air refueling booms, not hose & drogue. The 03 (2003) number on the tail for the service date, probably too early for a J-10S export from China. Erik

So i removed the hose & drogue Refueling Probe, and tried to add a F-16 style boom fuel point on the spine. Changed pilot helmet and uniform colors. Added some stripes and arrows to add some detail. The Radome is still Black though. Cant seem to find a work around to change the darker original radome color to a lighter grey shade. Tried, to paint one over it but it gives a plastic feel. So i dropped it for now. Black looks cool too, Not my fault if China colors its jets radome black ! Also on the no. part. It isnt a real story, so no.s dont really matter. more over i had already rastesized the Type layer and writing a new layer was too much a trouble to go through . hehehe
