Il-78s are doing their work pretty well. Furthermore, PAF does not have the priority of strategic lifters. They are expensive to acquire, maintain and fly. I keep hearing about AHQ looking for C-130's because we need a squadron in Multan to take some duties off from No.21 and No. 6 sqn.

No. 18 or No. 20 squadron. I'm not sure whats the utility for PAF of such an investment. However, the idea sounds attractive. It is not a hard and fast rule to replace an entire squadron of oldest fighters. Peshawar and Quetta will get rid of F-7s altogether. The displaced F-7s will...

I dont care what your profession is. Chances are, whatever you do, you'll be at the bottom of the entire food chain. As for your conclusion of the investigation, I just hope you dont look as stupid as you sound. Otherwise, you'd be twice as useless. Still I'd say, hold your tiny nuts and...

No.17 and No. 23 sqn next in line to convert to JF-17.

Not everyone is intellectually dumb and numb like you. No one can and should help you if you are unable to swallow your misplaced sense of pride. Also, go back to school. This is the reason why you can't understand what torque is. Thanks for demonstrating your idiotic sense of purpose once...

The video clearly shows the elevators fully deployed and nose being jacked up, which explains he was trying to recover the aircraft.

It is being considered to only use JF-17 for future shows. But aerobatics will take place. This picture is very vague evidence to draw any conclusion. The lines can be severed for any reason. Whenever a transformer blows up, the lines do break. A transformer did fall down which means a few...

PAC Kamra has substantial experience in the manufacturing of critical components of SAAB 2000. It should not be a major issue. Yes. One is a passenger version and two are AEW&C.

Additional CASA's are in the design. I'm not aware of any orders that have been placed,

2 brand new SAAB Erieye AEW&C to join PAF this year A new squadron is to be raised of AEW&C at Bholari AFB to cover the eastern sector.

Chaklala; No. 52 Squadron has been raised at Chaklala to house CN-235s. The directorate of air transport has separated CASA's from No. 6 squadron due to operational reasons and in lieu of expansion plans.

After viewing some videos, Air Force pilots have ruled out the possibility of compressor stall or electrical wires as a cause of crash. Only if he had 10-15 more feet, he would have pulled up from ground zero.

C-130 #4180 incident on November 8th, 2018 Folks, the incident report is an internal document hence cannot be posted here. (and also because its the long one) I would, however, post (in my own words) declassified core details and causes of the accident in layman terms. The maximum torque...

Squadron strength is secret information. Some frames are with 29 as well.

Of the original 40 'delivered' to PAF. We actually lost '8' for different reasons. Leaving us with 32. How many were operational at that time is another matter. MLU update was bound to bring the entire fleet of 32 airframes to life. Then came 14 embargoed + 18 C/Ds + 13 Jordanian equaling to 77...

When blood leaves the brain rendering it unable to exercise logic and common sense. Altitude, speed, pressure appear irrelevant.

So, they were cowards? :D Have they been court-martialed yet? Ususally when defense is outnumbered, you send reinforcements. But your guys decided to bug out. Wow. What medal did you award them for this? Bunch of more vir chakras? Are they on sale at some thayla in Delhi? :D,

It is wise of you to edit your comment and remove that 'family benefits' accusation. I would have roasted you till either one of us was banned from here. And It would have been you most likely. I second this.

I don't know if it is true or not. There are loads of rumors going around in PAF circles too. Only inquiry will tell. However, the hydraulic failure theory makes sense because, in an event of hydraulic loss of power, the rudder and ailerons stop functioning, the avionics/onboard system fails...

You always disengage the AB at the top and then continue downwards. It minimizes the distance required to jack up. That tactic was followed atleast.
