Honestly, this is news to me. While I was there, not even a single facility had front fuselage being built. Infact the following photo from 2016 shows front fuselage being loaded onto a Il-76 of PAF at Chengdu, China. Maybe they have switched? Let's get to the bottom of this.

I've come across many like you before. Challenging without substance. Putting you on mute. A medal you were looking for.

Why dont we shut this forum down and follow ISPR press releases? Since you're so much into the disclosure of the complete information. Also if my sources tell me something is going on then it is going on. Your sarcasm and validation is the last thing I look forward to.

Front fuselage is being manufactured by CAC. You can roughly say, 66% at PAC (Wings, rudders, main fuselage, landing gears, complete assembly, 40% avionics, 70% hydraulics) This goes for the entire PAF fleet as well. We distanced ourselves from Mymaar due to ongoing genocide. But we still...

My contribution.

Ofcourse it is. What is not clear is the long term strategy with these airframes. The guys I asked were not related to Mirage fleet hence they didnt know for sure. However, the jets are definitely coming, it will be yet to be seen if PAF goes through the trouble of overhauling them at MRF...

It is definitely done. We do see increasing flights to Egypt by C-130's. I'm not aware of the cargo yet. But something is going on. Also, PAF is looking to increase its squadron strength. Hence Mirage 5's are here to stay for atleast 10 more years.

Below average knowledge base and above average rhetoric. Mix them and then we get posts like these. The maintenance costs you speak of are far lower than procuring, training, inducting and operationalizing any new platform apart from F-16s. You simply have no idea about the maths involved in...

Agreed. Lets play another game with them. Let's just say an F-16 operator named Azaan is missing. Only after the uproar, they find out it was a 3 month old nephew of a PDF member. :D All the puns of the world intended.

It is appalling to witness their logic, fear, and frustration. They would learn and google names of our F-16 operators all day and name them one by one to see if any of these is alive. What a shame. Gents, please tag our Indian friends here. I would like to get membership of this forum and...

^Clearly a training sortie. Probably as part of the red force interceptor package.

Shooting down an unarmed UAV is not exactly combat in true spirit. Infiltrating highly defended airspace, targetting military installations, jamming radars, fighting off bandits and returning to base after hitting intended targets is combat.

We never shot down a chopper of any Indian establishment in year of 2019. :enjoy:

US officials would have been the first to leak it if we had lost any F-16 at all. Pakistan is not liked in many sensitive circles inside US.

The last line says "It's a gossip in some professional circles, it can be wrong' Hence no sources for any of you. :D

This is where we are wrong. I dont know if you had a chance to converse with someone from lets say Pentagon or UK MoD, no one brought India's claim of F-16 shoot down. Pentagon has pictures of Su-30 debris. The day Modi will stop licking balls of US, the Pentagon will concede to Su-30 being...

F-16BM #606 fired the AMRAAM while flying inside Pakistan. It had to ingress J&K for homing the missile. It is not original. No airforce would give out original radar scans. It potentially exposes much about the radar based capabilities. Still much better than MS DOS based radar paintings...

Looking forward.

No 'event' has to take place to count the F-16s neither would the entire Air Force know it happened since there is nothing official about it. The manufacturer has 1001 ways to find out which airframes are active and which are not. Also, these volatile times do not allow PAF to flock multiple...
