[Super Falcon]

Every second squad is based on JF 17 thunder they are making IAF job lot easier for planning and tactic point of view

 

[SQ8]

That also signifies that finally the support structure for JF-17 operations is ready at Masroor,which was the cause of the delay in the first place.

 

[LonE_WolF]

good news. so this is the 4th operational squadron of thunder
waiting for some pics

 

[Paksanity]

So is No. 2 staying at Minhas or are they moving to Masroor?

Rashid Minhas Shaheed belonged to No.2 Squadron hence squadron calls itself Minhas. PAF base Kamra was named after Rashid Minhas Shaheed as PAF base Minhas. So JF-17 comes to the unit of Rashid Minhas Shaheed? I'm waiting for official confirmation. @Windjammer ?

And how much would that cost? You think you can spare some of the billions you might have lying around?

janab its cost 500mn$ and as we both know airbase may cost far less then this . they can do it in phase by phase .rather then losing expensive birds in hands of terrorists

PAF Base Minhas was named after Sir Rashid Minhas Shaheed but the Squadron to which Rashid Minhas originally belonged was No.2 and was stationed at Masroor. So that sqn was also renamed as Minhas Sqn but don't get confused with Sqn Minhas and Base Minhas, as Sqn No.2, Minhas is stationed at Masroor from beginning.

It costs $500 million to make the airbase, then another $500 million to move all the infrastructure, the equipment and the training costs to create landing patterns and have the pilots practice those.
