Air Force Question Thread

[alimobin memon]

Guys, i'm kinda new on this forum (as U may have noticed by the number of posts i've made).

I'm just curious where this pic was taken & which aircraft is it that our boys are inspecting?

Note: I wouldn't of asked knowing full well that there is probably a topic about it - somewhere. But just the thought of going through 200 something pages (on each topic) would be a killer.

This is Photoshop image not real... However there are rumours of diamond nose shape jf17 been in test

Okay, now I feel like a complete *** for asking such a question. I will say this that whoever did work on this pic, went through a lot of trouble with the deatils such as shadows & all...

i don't want to be a nag....certainly the enemy may or may not have ways to observe what you did; but best to be safe than sorry

i would advise you respectfully to plz remove this kind of information; best to leave it for 'private consumption' only

Well, they were not really camouflaged or anything, neither placed in a secret corner.

I was on a commercial flight and saw them while in the plane and taxiing. They were right beside the runway.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

well im sure it was an interesting sight to see....was happy to see them inducted just a few years back

good system, for PAF's needs

 

[Jango]

I was really surprised to see them there, sitting right there, the radar moving 360, and the SAM's all positioned.

I came to Isl about a week or so back, and at that time, I didn't spot them. Must be a new position.

The shadows of the two personnel on the flank do not correspond to the lighting around the intake, which is an easy giveaway.

i don't see how i divulged any top secret info.

Some things placed beside the runway of a commercial airport, one on which Indian VIP flights also come do not constitute secret.

There is much more being divulged on this forum than this!

 

[MuZammiL Dr. s[1]n]
