The extra weight is used to sink enemy ships by lobbying the fatties onto enemy ships.

[khanasifm]

Looks like pn will add a new runway plus other areas like pn turbat station to accommodate sea kings, p3 and other fleet elements when needed and turbat is inland in case of severe weather forces pn to move inland when required

I hope they give central importance to base security. From the looks of these pictures, securities seems minimal. And I mean security against both terrorist attacks, and military attacks such as aerial warfare.

@WebMaster @Horus @Rashid Mahmood pictures such as the ones posted here only make the job easier for terrorist planners and masterminds. I wish the concern about base security could be raised with relevant quarters so it becomes a central part of planning.

Do it seems that PN is making another runway to existing air station

 

[Incog_nito]

I think PN should work with PAF to make this one as a combine operation Air Base with PAF. Moreover, why not use it as Souther/Naval base for CCS - Combat Commanders School?

One is in North as Risalpur, one in South as Ormara, and may be another one in some where in Balochistan's North Side that can be called as CCS - Central Air Base?

Someone here was asking the source someday back. Here's the source:

PN has already ordered 40 Block-II JF-17s for Naval Role...
