Interesting that the video says that the ACM thanked the efforts of security forces in timely and effective response which destroyed the evil designs of the enemy (rough translation) -- would he be saying this if 2 SAABS were destroyed?? Or are we to believe he and defence minister are lying as...
Errr .. yes I do expect Shahid Lateef to speak the truth -- He is a respected and retired officer with no axe to grind. While you say Paf has contradicted itself -- they have said 1 aircraft all along. 1 persons slight damage can be another persons substantial damage and both can be nose damage.
'hustle in PAF ranks' care to explain what this means?
Have you ever known a report of such an attack to be compiled and released within 3 days?
You have PAF statement saying 1 aircraft damaged and you have the Defence Minister saying the same with more detail of the damage / repair -- not...
I don't buy this -- how come every other media outlet reported the PAF statement as 1 aircraft damaged. Media has so far reported C130, refueler, Saab as the damaged aircraft -- shown pics of the Mehran attack and even a pic from Chengdu passed off as Minhas - hardly reliable source to prove...
You are saying 'Unfortunately the TTP thugs did not do their homework properly'!!?? Were you hoping they would cause more death and destruction!!?? As for the base commander - he can't win - if he had stayed in the control room pakistanis would call him a coward - if he leads from the front -...
Maybe it is. He was briefed - perhaps he was told that damage was from shrapnell and/or bullits. Regardless that is not the issue here -- the point here is -- 1 aircraft damaged -- to be repaired in Pakistan--not 2 'destroyed' and 1 damaged as has been portrayed by some -- based entirely on...
They do not make sense to you because they are the usual Pakistani sensationalist rumour mill in overdrive. See my previous post for what an official source says - and PAF has said all along -- 1 aircraft damaged -- now confirmed as will be repaired in Pakistan. If someone has an official source...
Here is a report quoting an official source -I would respectfully ask that people stick to official sources rather than rumour.
Surveillance plane damaged in airbase attack: QamarAug 17, 2012
Islamabad: A Saab-2000 airborne early warning aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force was damaged during...
You call me stupid and lacking in intellect yet you are the one who says - and I quote ' the next war will be between the united states and india---. A day will come when the u s will retaliate against the indians taking all the lucrative jobs in the u s' --- After that little gem - I don't...
What utter nonesense to suggest that you should ditch any ideas of developing your own fighter simply because it would take you so long to write the 'playbook'. The next gem is even better - apparantly JF-17 and FC-20 are a 'terrible mistake' and we should instead have just bought a load more...
The reason for getting a Chinese solution as well as the western option despite all the added burden etc etc was vey simply not to put all of the eggs (especialy when the eggs are key to future defence) in the western basket. If the relationship had completely crashed with the US -- and this has...
Great work. How about adding the sqadron patch --- I think that 'BLACK SPIDERS - THUNDER RIDERS' is an awsome slogan. Where can I buy one of these T shirts?
Understood -- but PAF ACM is on record as saying 40 odd FC-20 in PAF by 2016 (thats 4 years away)-- so there is time to sort funding out and it remains 'realistic and interesting'
Ok -- if you go to the main PAF page which lists all the PAF threads -- you will find a green icon at the bottom of the list which reads +post new thread -- click on it --- I'll even give you the web page link JF-17 Thunder . Now kindly start your 'F-22 better than JF-17', or 'India almighty'...
There are quite a few pics around -- and have been around for some time, of JF-17 PT-06 in China carrying SD-10's. Now given that Pakistan is the only country that operates the JF-17 AND PT-06 is known to be used for weapons integration and trials in china -- which country do the nay sayers...
