If currently all 4 Eryes are fully operational then after the addition of these 3 new ones PAF will have enough eyes in the air to cover from North to Central areas upto Punjab-Sindh border. The ZDKs will be operated over the seas which means that there is a gap from Bahawalpur to Bholari for...
This is a good idea that if it is possible then PAF should acquire all the UAEAF Mirage-2000-9s as well as Qatari AF's Mirages to form 4 combat squadrons. These will be a good replacement for Mirage III/Vs.
However, this may not happen.
Just look at today's picture of HH Sheikh Mohammad Bin...
It's not a machine gun but a 23mm calibre cannon.
PAF will never let go it's tradition of having a cannon on any combat aircraft no matter how sophisticated it is.
WVR combat is an inherent part of PAF's doctrine & will never drop it.
So forget about it's removal & find other ways to put more...
Oh yes after visit to FATA Sen. John McCain & his many colleagues are favourable to Pakistan. Also remember that just ast week either US Commander or Centcom Commander (don't recall exactly) visited with good remarks.
If given a chance PAF will still like to have more F-16s new or used. This is...
I say do the following:
Instead of asking for 8 Block 52+ get a full squadron of 18 aircraft but with SABRE AESA & internal IRST, i.e. a Viper version.
Upgrade existing Block 52s to the same standard.
Get the remaining 12 Block 15OCUs currently being operated by USN Aggressor unit & upgrade...
This is my stall at the IDEAS-2016.
Am supplying tinned food. Remember the guy in uniform? He is the same tall guy behind the CLS General at Nowshera on the 2nd page of this thread.
In Sindh which is facing the main threat from the SWAC of IAF which has tens of squadrons both interceptor & deep strike and is operating from 10s of air bases, PAF has only 2 MOBs Masroor & Shahbaz with about 5 squadrons & a huge airspace to defend with many VPs and transport / communications...
Key Points

STM is prime contractor for the Agosta 90B upgrade

Good victory for Ex-President Gen. (Retd.) Pervaiz Musharraf.
I believe that in view 2 worst things ever happened to Pakistan were Zulfiqar Bhutto & Iftikhar Chaudhry. Why? Because:
ZAB instigated Ayub Khan for war with India in 1965 when we were cruising along for a prosperous future & we...
Am late on this topic & have not seen all the pages but have a few questions.
How much ammo these terrorists are carrying to fight the full might of the Indian military for 2-3 days?
Do Indian forces always have to take 2-3 days to kill all terrorists in almost all major events?
If Indian...
PAF should build more air bases to fill gaps & act as backups during wars so the enemy keeps guessing what aircraft are currently based where?
In peace time its not necessary to base any aircraft there but in war even 8 aircraft at an air base would be a safe strategy.
In my opinion there is a...
India building secret nuke facility: Foreign Policy
WASHINGTON: India is building a top-secret facility in southern Karnataka to upgrade its weapons that could “deeply unsettle” its neighbours, says an exhaustive report in international magazine Foreign Policy.
It says work on the project...
No its not a straight line.
Look at the no. of IAF SW Command bases & squadrons it will face:
Squadron Base Equipment Notes
No. 20 Squadron IAF Lohegaon Air Force Station Su-30MKI No. 2 Wing
No. 30 Squadron IAF Lohegaon Air Force Station Su-30MKI No. 2 Wing
No. 15 Squadron IAF Bhuj Air Force...
Does anybody has the exact location as I know the general area?
Also can anybody deduce the air base design from the portrait given to Def. Min. Kh. Asif?
This should be an urgent priority for PAF & the Govt. as once operational & perhaps long range fighters deployed it will counter major IAF bases both old & new & will cover the whole Indian Southwestern Command in Rajasthan & Gujarat.
It will also close a major gap between Karachi & Jacobabbad...
Pls. remember the following speech:
