PAF F-16B Fighting Falcon model with AIM-7M Sparrow missiles presented to an official in the early 2000's.

Good angles. I think it was originally uploaded with another track.

True. Flt Cmdr Ops is currently acting OC 9.

Everything requires congressional approval. The idea of additional used F-16 C/D's, used C-130J's, Ex Australian P-3's, release of Cobra Zulu's, warships was discussed with Ex Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter at Global Strategic Threat & Response conference in Islamabad. FM Quraishi met...

JF-17 Block 1's and 2's have been 'certified' to carry PL-15 AAMs. A shipment of hundreds of PL-15's came in from China days after 27th February. 2019 along with hundreds of SD-10's, PL-5's and A2G stores. JF-17 Block 3 and JF-17B will employ PL-15 as a standard AAM for decades to come. The...

Jamming a radar is not a walk in the park. APG-66 is a 'relatively' older system and hence prone to forward jamming. And these F-16s are known as 'khokhas'. Younger pilots are transitioning to 19 sqn for conversion. This has enabled 11 and 9 sqn to focus on combat and advanced training roles...

There are atleast 4 to the best of my knowledge.

JF-17 price list Block 1 For PAF - $16.1M Block 2 For PAF - $20M For Export - $30M Not sure about Block 3 prices yet. Heard a rough figure But, it was no way near $42M. It is quite low compared to this.

It would be interesting to know though. To my understanding, the moment PAF fighters would be vectored towards US assets, all hell would break lose and all these Growlers, super hornets and Eagles would enter the fight to save these assets. Pakistan is not walk in the park for US like Iraq...

The debate is not whether F-16s retain the capability to shoot down the Chinooks or not. It is, Whether did it happen or not. Even if we agree that the chase took place, for a fighter to lock any slow mover depends on its range form the target. If the range is linearly appropriate, it is...

With people like Pasha, Kiyani and Zardari sitting on top, I dont think Pakistan had the luxury to make any move of an 'unpredictable' nature. According to someone in the Air Defense branch, we ordered all radar sites to switch to high level or shut down mode so the crew may not even 'see' who's...

I see your point. However, Pakistani F-16 pilots are not just average everyday trainees. They are seasoned pilots with lots of hours of training which includes close air support. The problem is, while these choppers were sitting inside Abbottabad for 20-25 minutes, they could have been taken...

With USN F/A-18 Super Hornets lurking alongside the Afghan border, Rao Qamar Suleman barred the F-16s to engage with the choppers. Two F-16A's were on CAP at that time. This fool thinks the F-16 couldn't engage his slow moving rotor aircraft. These matters were decided way above the pay grade...

True. Every movement at Chakala can be recorded by ground based radars inside India. Also, it is surrounded by the civilian population. A huge security risk for any military base.

You have the audacity to give him a negative rating after calling him an ignorant frenchmen? Who gave you a right to go around racially profile people and then get offended when they make a similar comment? Even though I would disagree with most things he has written, but this is an abuse of...

Maza agya.

Chaklala already houses a few fighters and acts a FOB. It is at risk to Indian artillery fire to house full squadrons. I have no clue about plans for Rafiqui. Probably will remain the stronghold for Mirages. No.2 squadron has a large area to cover. It is better to expand an existing squadron...

Beautifully explained.

Before transfer to PAF (92729) Before transfer to PAF. (92730)
