Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[The Accountant]

Is it confirm it was a thunder?

Is it confirm it was a thunder?

Nope. Senior journalists are saying that it was F-7P. I dunno what happened. My sources deny to claim anything so far.

 

[Imran Khan]

The aircraft was PAF No. 14 "Tail Choppers" Squadron JF-17 Thunder. The squadron is based at PAF Base Minhas, Kamra, Attock.

That wreckage looks more like F-7 not JF-17. Every JF-17 has number written under the flag, whereas F-7s don't.

Thunders are the only ones with straight stabilizers. The pic shared above is showing a thunder but if it is a latest pic that remains to be seen.

 

[ARMalik]

Well I guess only time will tell what aircraft it was.

 

[AMRAAM]

If the crashed plane is JF-17,then there is a possibility that the crashed plane was on test flight and flown from PAC Kamra.

This makes sense. It could be one of those newly built ACs undergoing testing.

This should be the latest picture because JF17 were inducted in "Tail Choppers" in 2017. and last crash of JF17 on land was back in 2011.

Seems JF-17 from the stabilizer and rudder.

No. The back of the vertical stabilizer is completely vertical in a JF-17, and seems to be the same in the picture of the crash. Number could be missing as it might not have been assigned to a squadron yet or simply not painted on yet.

Lets hope PAF discloses what crashed unlike last JF17 crashed our Arabian sea it was pure silence and in the end people realizes that it was a thunder . Indeed a sad incident

 

[CT-9914 "Snoop"]

Who came to the conclusion it's from the 14 squadron, last I checked the 16 squadron was also colocated at Kamra.
What SAR squadron operates in the region tho? Because if it's using the AW139, it means another squadron has also transitioned on to it.

 

[ABBASIA]

Jf-17 by wreckage and total count of down aircrafts now is 3

Probably you are right. This is near minhas air base and only thunders are operating from minhas air base. So uptill now three crashes of thunder out of which atleast 2 are from engine failure. One was over the Arabian sea and this was on the road. Good thing is pilots are safe opposed to accidents of mirages and f7s. Apparently thunder has a much better ejection system.
