There are several PIA ATR-42's written off because the ROI for their repair towards a return to commercial service is not viable. It can potentially be repaired by PN and returned to join the two ATR-72's. Just a wild thought.

One policy is to stay away from the borders. Since the past 8 months, no IAF air activity has been observed with in 35 nautical miles of Indo-Pak borders. Speaks volumes about the 'risk-averse' policy you just maintained.

It's a milestone then because US denied Turkey PAF IP's back in 2016.

It's not like pilots do not do anything at all. Pilots are responsible for making sure the 'crew' has done its job. May it be pre flight, post flight or run up. There are some checks of crew chief which are only done by him. Then there are certain checks of pilots which cannot be done by...

They could have very well waged war. But they did not for whatever reason. And it is not about what they would abide by. Every adventure has a mission. They tried to execute theirs and do we did our job. They mess again, we bloody their nose again. No, it does not mean that. They did...

I dont know. Even if it's true, this wont come out without materializing. We are not like indians who beat war drums even when their pigeons take flight. We keep the noise low.

Israeli's are not idiots to send a pilot to fly with Indians. An airforce known for its sub standard pilot training and high fleet attrition due to maintenance mishaps.

He is a dishonorable officer. The first thing you are taught in the academy is not to lie, cheat or steal. He has supported his state with lies and accepted a medal for a false claim of shooting down an aircraft. So many other Indian officers deserve that medal more than him. How will he wear...

Was found burnt along with his co pilot in the Su-30. Had SAR chopper reached on time. He might as well have survived with 3rd degree burns. Sad. For the chopper too.

Pilots only double check a few things before take off. The ground crew's area of responsibility. ADA jets have already undergone preflight as soon as the pilot is assigned on the ADA.

Well said. Too many arm chair DG MO's on pdf. Laughable at best.

Flying C-130 is a treat of its own i'm told. Plus the survivability of herc's surpasses everything in the PAF's inventory. May it be engine flame outs. wing losses, C-130's glide effortlessly and this is something ZDK's and Saab's cannot do beautifully.

It is usually less related to front line fighters especially US made jets. I heard exchange pilot training and Mushak's were the major subject. No news from my side. It is an interesting thought though. Will try to find out.

Nope. Incorrect. I was questioning your IQ and subsequently deduced the lack of it. Just one of the few reasons why you couldn't attend a college and speak intelligently about issues related to security and defense (yes you do need a college education to debate on that atleast. Do give me...

They are trying. They need a PAF's jet down in their territory (and it is easy if act foolish) Just last 23rd march, IAF hacked into our radio network of fly past aircraft and tried to cause confusion by giving instructions to the formation. The instruction given was to go into a holding...

BS. It is easier for you to sit on that arm chair and supposedly raise the bar. Instead of counting vipers on a foreign base, come to Pakistan and raise the bar here. And be at risk of a war at all times before wishing for an all out conflict. Why didnt you work with the Russians for their...

AHQ sent a request to Turkey for Solo Turk for the eve of the 23rd March parade. It has been accepted and Solo Turk is coming to Pakistan in a week's time. :bounce:

Eyes are ears of Alpha 1? Poor chap couldnt even see or hear anything. At least nothing in any audible language.

These pirates usually have hostages, money, large cache of drugs and weapons that are to be traced back to the origin. Hence such anti ship missiles are never a weapon of choice. Missiles like C802/Harpoon are best fit for military targets such as frigates, submarines, minesweepers. Rocket...

Rightly so.
