This visit is a good indicator, with good timing along with relevant assets which show what we desired.

Good to see the guy in orange. A good friend of mine, met him about three years back, he was doing solo aerobatics...

Sir the chief's statement that nothing going unnoticed and we have counter it.... What does it suggest..?

Bhai....significance....
CAS.....He's the same man, of the same force (PAF), which came out on top last year....
Location of the visit.....Occupied Kashmir in front with disputed Ladakh nearby, all within flying distance....
JF-17s....chinese platforms being shown in the video, again the same platform which did well last year as well...

Coupled with all this....
CAS' statement signifies that we are keeping a close watch on whatever is going on in the northern regions...there is also an obvious probability that IAF has taken the necessary safeguards in case there is some activity from Pakistan's side, maybe PAF has already countered THAT IAF buildup......

actually all this...visits, statements, PR....it increases the complexities for the other side.....they have to dig around alot in order to find out what PAF CAS really meant and what message Pakistan as a country wants to send.

This must be one of the few times I paid more attention to the background scenery than the jets. Gents and ladies, this is what we fight for, beautiful Pakistan.

Also at 0.08 when the young pilot lowers his head to greet the ACM is touching, such respect for your elders and men who have shaped the fantastic PAF.

That is indeed very good analysis but what I am assuming that chief's has given the indication of new platforms as well as against rafale etc procurements by India
