According to one of the PAF's previous air chief AM Tanveer Mahmood, Block 52+ F-16s will be based at PAF Shahbaz airbase.
And kindly would you please tell me in which city it is located

I thought Shahbaz Airbase in Jacobabad was being used by the US? And the US Military stopped Pak Army from entering the base some time ago. Stopping our own Army in our own country, it's unbelievable.
I suppose even if the American have left Jacobabad, they must already have done extensive construction and repair work at Jacobabad and that's why it's now being converted into a main operating airbase. Otherwise, Rs. 7 billion is not enough money for the kind of facilities we are hearing about.
if i am not mistaken then US still runs the jacocabad airbase! so i don't understand what this commotion of upgrading is all about! when clearly that base has since the cold war era been kept as a US launching pad!
anyhow going with the theory that we are developing this airbase for our BLK52s i think it has more to do with india's cold start strategy by which indian army main thrust will come from rajhistan and into sindh!

SO how are they going to bring the aircraft up, like those special platforms in aircraft carriers?
it is mentioned that the money has come as a loan.
what does loan imply here?
the Air Force is supposed to survive on the money from the govt, how will it pay back the loan?
