Aren't new JF-17 sqn's coming up - at Chaklala or Rafiqui?
Chaklala already houses a few fighters and acts a FOB. It is at risk to Indian artillery fire to house full squadrons.
I have no clue about plans for Rafiqui. Probably will remain the stronghold for Mirages.
Why increase strength of No. 2 and not replace the maritime sqn mirages. Exocet stock can be sent to PN for use with Sea Kings.
No.2 squadron has a large area to cover. It is better to expand an existing squadron than to raise another squadron which costs money.
JF-17Bs?Are all JF 17s which were launched recently operationalized?
