11sqn new patch. This has become a pre-requisite now, I don't see those 14 machines coming back any time soon. Both sides have become silent on the subject.

The induction of female officers in GD(P) was a bold move, and even bolder when most of the female pilots in intial batches failed to meet standards of fighter pilot in PAF, and were routed to liasion aircraft/ground braches. Which itself is clear evidence that 'quality' is not compromised in...

Good to see refuling probes on these Mirages, this project seem to complete by 2014.

He was a great man; a die hard patriot, outstanding leader, superb flyer, Go-gifted thinker,military strategist and above all a good muslim. May Allah bless his soul. Amen.

In simple words, Pakistan can never afford attition warfare (where as India can). Pakistan knows that it will never be be able to catch up with India's conventional weapons; therefore it puts its Nuclear and weapons program in the equation to balance out the odds. This discussion would take us...

Not so early. At least 3-5 years more. The point is that military wants techinically superior systems which would serve till at least 10 years (and in numbers). Some of the designs available in Pakistani/Chinese market are decent projects but when you look at the bigger picture; its still a risk...

Since your post is directed to orangzaib, I will leave the rest of post for him. Only one correction, the views of people on "Chinese stuff" is mostly based on house-hold Chinese items they have experienced. Quality standards on such items (which generally came with very low price tag) are...

Qaher-313's design look interesting, bubble canopy, single engine, possibly Helmet Mounted Display (as it has no HUD in this mock-up) and possibly some new research behind such small size jet with so big canards. Problems/limitations: 1. Its a mock-up merely for psy-ops, original design will...

The date is late 2014 (Decemeber may be?). The next two batches of MLUs (some 5/6 aircraft) will be delivered soon.

No all models, I mistakenly mentioned 52+ only:D. See the pictures of PAF F-16 in izmir air show, those A/B models have that as well. And Yes its part of standard training.

Please lets not start those circuling arguments about Minhas attack again. We all should stop this ego game now, otherwise we'll end up in repeating same points again and again.

Yes F-16s have them, you can see that hook present between the ventral fins (on the left of centerline fuel tank) in the following photo. @Windjammer, Kindly don't post references to copyrights violated photos. If people will start cropping pics from PAFwallpapers, I might have to...

@mike bennett, There is no way he or any other person can get account of such incident from people on Internet. He should contact Dte of Media Affairs, PAF via telephone (not email); the numbers are available on contact us section of PAF's website.

ZDKs are not operational yet. Zoom in and see for yourself which aircraft is 2nd from top? The last one after Saab-2000 is either one of AN/TPS-77 or EWTTR system. JF-17s already took part. The video is mostly not from this exercise, it has mix footage from other recent exercises. All thanks...

F-16 Block52 induction ceremony fly past. No.5 Sqn ‘Falcons’ Ex-RAAF Mirage IIIDF being escorted by F-16 Block-52 aircraft during its farewell fly past on 10 March, 2011. The same day; No.5 Sqn was re-equipped with newly inducted state-of-the-art F-16 C/D Block 52+ aircraft.

Damn, same old footage. Basically Exercise SB-2012/13 is now in ending phase and all that media release regarding AEW&C/CCS participation is released after few months of their round-the-clock use. Good thing is that such assets are now given special place in media release, not to satifsy PDF...

Garmin is one of the companies that provides cockpit-instrumentation for Super-Mushshak. Super Mushshak official patch.

I'm not sure whether they participated in "live" bombing missions or not; but PAF personnel did run training programs/courses for SLAF fighter pilots, especially in low-level strike role.

The PAF official history book, Pakistan Air Force: A story of saga, courage and honor 1974-87 has following text on No.1 FCU history (the only unit to get FT-5). That means FT-5 deliveries started in early 1975. However, there is no account of exact date of FT-5 deliveries to PAF; I believe...

Whenever the website's subscribers share anything, it will be shared with you all :) I believe some MLU's are expected to arrive from Turkey in Dec2012/Jan2013, not those 14 EDA F-16s. There is a possibility that Pak gets those funds reimbursed in some other form. That was a case with...
