New PAF Squadron 'Saf Shikan' Makes Appearance

[GriffinsRule]

the warrior on the horse back is aiming an arrow someone behind, does it define the aircraft capability

Prolly just inspired by Turkish dramas =D

 

[Ghessan]

Possibly referring to getting behind enemy forces and breaking their rear.

that's a good explanation

well then PM should stop promoting them, PAF is taking influences

Yes yes it has HOBS missiles....another 500 pages now....!!!

 

[Trailer23]

The design is not finalized yet .. only one tail has been painted for test purposes

Be as it may, it won't be any different from what is on the one Jet.

Soldier + Horse + Weapon

Does anyone know whether we are producing the H-2 and H-4 SOW in-house?

@Hodor

Yes they both have been for sometime now.

Mirages have done their part, it's time to let them rest

Why? You need to validate your claim.

For example USA b-52s have been in service since 1950s. Age Is irrelevant if it serves its purpose effectively.

Saf shikan...would roughly mean breaking battle formations(old school warfare battle formations like for example the Greek phalanx)...
...since it's hard to portray such a concept in a minimalist form...that symbol is close enough.

A horse mounted archer...shooting backwards. Many light cavalry archer units are known throughout history to use hit/run tactics to harass infantry...to try to draw them out(and hence break battle formation and be lured into a trap). I think it's an appropriate symbol(given historical warfare strategies/units). Let's not criticize something without a good reason or without presenting a good alternative to portray that same concept of "saf shikan"

no not criticizing, my second reply was in a lighter mode

That has always been the claim, but I am skeptical. There has never been an official confirmation. We have never been shown the the production facility. It has never been exhibited at IDEAS.

I also haven't seen production facilities of say, Babur, Ra'had or Nasr weapon systems either. The original weapons are Designated Raptor 1, 2, 3.....where as those produced under licence in Pakistan carry the H series Designation.... H stands for HAVOC.

We have had official confirmations of their local production. None for the H-series.

So what was the official confirmation for then?????

The patch isn't official either ..

Also the horse rider is supposed to be Salahudin Ayubi

 

[monitor]

So it means all remaining and newly aquared mirage from Egypt will be transferred to newly form squadron. And existing squadron will be reequip with newly aquared
J-10C .

Question I would like answered is,
WHICH mirages are these ? |(@PanzerKiel )

Can someone confirm if these are the ones we already had in our AF ?

Guessing from the Squadron's name, I am guessing these will be the healthiest of planes, and they will be equipped with glide bombs and/or Cruise missiles.

Regards.
