Let him post pictures, please. PDF is less fun without him. :D As for KT, he is a respectable man. But just like Shahid Latif, all he knows about PAF has been either written, or already been told to the media (excluding secret information)

Ranks have nothing to do with color of the wings. You will see certain 1/2/3 star's with a blue wings too. It is all about the flying hours. White: 0-1500 hrs Blue : 1500-2500 hrs Red: +2500 hrs

Not correct. CJCSC flew in a Block 52 while CAS flew in a Block 15. Also, the side panel sills you're referring to have a certain function. It is related to the significant amount of electronic capability integrated into the rear cockpit of Block 52. (hint: heat/radiation related). These...

These highway landings have more to do with the mobilizing of the ground crew for preparing the launch/recovery of aircraft. Hence it is not aircraft specific. Secondly, F-16s/JF-17s are not used for two good reasons. Highway ops involve a certain degree of risk. Hence we avoid allocating jets...

This is not even near to the JF-17.

Both were initially Kamra based. One was transferred later on to Masroor for sea view/IDEAS exhibition duties. A very worked up airframe

a. Self destruct mechanism does not work the way you have put it. It is never autonomous. It is the pilot who switches it. Furthermore, the C5 variant does not have a self destruct mode. It was tested somewhere in late 2006 and it came standard in C7 variants. b. PAF does not need to release...

Excellent post. Similarly, tactics evolve regularly. Post swift retort we have also learnt significantly about enemy's training, tactics and doctrine. Hence there is no reason to be confused about these changes that actually represent progress. @Dark1 @Marker

Post swift retort, PAF has seen a major change in the curriculum where the training doctrine has been tightened like never before. More pilots are being disqualified due to a new syllabus that has been recently innovated. For example, to qualify for section leader, let's say if there are x...

I have been saying for quite some time now that the front fuselage is built by CAC while the rear is built by PAC. And finally, we have a video where the officer validates it.

Pilots do get these 'khoobsorat' larkian in many cases to be honest. It's a glamorous profession.

Thank you for your kind words. My credibility is as good as any other old chap here. And our information is as good as our sources. Speaking of sources, if you notice, the information I provided dates back to April/May 2019. We were barely few weeks into the fall out of the skirmish. Which...

Pakistan never got access to Block 60's. F-35's are a far cry. Also, UAEAF doesnt let contractual or foreign pilots fly the Block 60. It is restricted to Emirati's only.

This is a classic case of 'chopping own feet' in the quest for face saving. The timing of f-16.net cry and this is interesting nonetheless. However, for those who view these matters from a purely critical and technical standpoint. Some facts remain to be analyzed. And the onus is on IAF once...

@Trailer23 Great work. Loved the news recordings. A vivid representation of 'actions speak louder than words'

JHMCS by the virtue of its popularity can be taken as a industry standard in HMDs. Its features include engagement with other aircraft with first-look first-shoot high off-boresight weapons, such as AIM-9X. Followed by night vision that allows the pilots to accurately cue the onboard weapons...

JHMCS is a product and belongs to HMD family. There are HMD's with targeting and then there is HMD that just displays flight Information. What you just said means: Sedan =/= Car

HUD: Heads up display HMDS: Helmet mounted display system (Like JHMCS)
