Would not be training aircraft, it should be training mission.

I can now confirm the name of the Pilot , since the loss is a bit personal as well, Sqn Ldr .Bilal Hassan Babri , my one year senior at PAF College Sargodha ,and one of the most smiling and larger then life individuals I know has embraced Shahadat. May ALLAH ALMIGHTY reward him ...amen ,... Babri (as we used to call him) keep smiling ...

May he rest in peace and God will have mercy on his soul. I have a question, since this is like the sixth accident (or more?) in less than a few years, why does the PAF not ground the fleet of F-7 for a complete review? My understanding is that some of these airframes are not that old and were sent from China around 2002 standoff with India...?? It's sad to see so much ongoing talent loss!!

Hi,

6 Sqdrn ldrs dead in air crashes----that's a serious issue---.

Please define "fair share" as the Armed Forces already get a quarter of the budget, which is about eight times health and education put together (roughly). What seems "fair" to you, my dear Sir?

May the fallen warrior rest in eternal peace.

Budget allocation announcement and transfer of funds to their rightful owners are two different things. Generally most of the allocated funds are 6-8 months late, and military has 6-4months to put them in use before the files of PAC haunt them.

Regarding your point about 'quarter of budget', its less than that...you can find statement of COAS on this topic.

Jacobabad - Pakistan’s army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has said that only 18 per cent of country’s total budget is allocated for armed forces while wrong facts and figures are quoted in TV talk shows in this regard.

Never mind the COAS. Please read the official document:

I stand by my assertion of 25% defense expenditure.

very tragic...
The aircraft belonged to No.25 Sqn, most probable a Mirage-VEF.
