Agencies like RAW always have first hand informers inside the embassies and military circles to get them more neat information. What you said is hearsay. Let's not give PDF the credit it doesn't deserve.
Alright.
This is going to be a long post. I've tried to answer all the questions in this thread that were directed towards me.
I understand that Pakistan has suffered too many blowbacks in the past 10 years in terms of military equipment being canceled, embargoed, or delayed. It was mainly...
Dear all,
Thanks to @Blacklight, I dug a little deeper and was able to find conclusive evidence that indeed, 5 C-130J's are being acquired. The source of the aircraft is unknown, but 6 squadron appears to be preparing for it.
Also, there have been a 'number' of US bound flights being...
This is Anatolian Eagle 2006 Exercise, Konya AFB, Turkey. Not Bholari. Notice the dutch F-16s in the back
Also, we never flock our F-16s like that since its a high-value asset.
I'm sure it was eye candy for most of us. But cockpit footages are highly sensitive. You can potentially collect information related to callsigns, squawk codes and frequencies from the 'background noise'.
There was a strong reaction by the AHQ later towards the FO. It was for a reason.
I'm practicing already.
We have been looking for J's for a long time. But nothing is in the pipeline yet.
This is news to me and many others in the 6 sqn honestly. The Il-78's trip last month to US was to drop off COVID supplies and bring back F-16 and C-130 sustainment kits. These visits...
Two reasons.
Spiraling slipstream and the Torque effect.
Spiraling slipstream happens when the engine turbine is rotating fast and the aircraft is moving slow. For example, take off. During takeoff, air accelerated behind the turbine (known as the slipstream) follows a corkscrew pattern. As...
Its an avionics and drogue assembly upgrade. Nothing fancy. Wont make it any more lethal but a little more robust and easier to fly. It's pretty outdated for 2020 standards.
F-16 and C-130 related.
Also, earlier, PAF used Dover AFB for such logistics movement. Now it has been shifted to BWI. There is a PAF's C-130 currently at BWI as we speak.
I'll give you gents a hint. This is the BWI airport which also has a huge USAF Air Mobility Command logistics center. The following picture is from the same trip.
Hence, for a fact, it wasn't COVID related. The cargo was strictly 'military'
Tax dollars amount to nothing when Pakistan has paid with its blood and deserves everything your country lives and breaths including the very freedom.
Had it not for Pakistan, US would be largely irrelevant in the geopolitics. Pakistan is just unfortunate to have been plagued by money sucking...
NZ001 (1965 built)
NZ002 (1965 built)
NZ003 (1965 built)
NZ004 (1969 built)
NZ005 (1969 built)
Infact, NZ's C-130H's are world's first ever C-130H models. A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis has to come into play here.
