It is currently 1:35 AM in PK, most people are either not going to respond if the news is true; relevant personnel would be busy.

What is important to understand is that the High Mark exersizes generate some of the highest sortie rates for an exercise that in cases surpass any carried out elsewhere. During High Mark 2010, pilots that had averaged 180 hours a year ended up hitting anywhere between 250-300; NOW; here is the more interesting part, unlike many airforces, the PAF has at least 2 pilots to 1 aircraft - which means that both these pilots have to achieve similar hours in the jet, which leads to the jet accumulating hours much faster than it would otherwise.

So far the news is confirmed but the fate of SL Rizwan isnt. Let us we all praye for him. May Allah return him back to his family alive. Ameen.

Airliners arent required to pull 7-8Gs regularly.. FYI.

They are built for higher tolerances but also experience much greater stress in shorter intervals than airliners do.

Okay....but just like you said they ARE built to handle that 7-8G stress so how can it break down before the end of its service life?

And Landing and taking off half a million ton aircraft puts a lot of stress on any airliner. Pressurizing to 8000 ft of cabin altitude and depressurizing the aircraft every cycle puts even greater stress on air frame, but a mechanical failure is not the same as structural failure. If a load bearing structure failed, sure we can say that's poor design or cause of pulling 7-8Gs on regular basis. Mechanical failure can usually be traced back to poor maintenance, or a design flaw, but since F-7pg is such an older air frame, would assume all design flaws are probably worked out. So that just leaves maintenance.

JF17 went down? not good. Lets confirm.

Another rumour another site...ocean search and rescue as part of excercise... scenario is being misquoted ??

Nothing is confirm till its officially confirm...

Praying

what your source bro their is nothing in the news at 4 am it might be fake rumors waiting to be confirmed

Again it shows if News Is true Pak should look for twin Engine Maritime strike Aircraft .

I hope the news is fake, or it was just an exercise part of High Marks 2016.

PAF should think better for safety of pilots. And all armed forces should undertake all efforts to recover our men quickly.

Couldn't they use PAF or navy air asset to detect any pilot in the sea ?

Is airframe the only thing on an aircraft?

The military rumor mill has it that it was yet another bird hit.

Please don't delete the thread like before as the news are legitimate and I take full responsibility.

Reportedly a JF-17 Thunder has crashed somewhere near Pasni, Balochistan while on a routine mission with Pakistan Navy.

Situation of the pilot, SL Rizwan still remains doubtful as some sources claim that his ejection beacon is still alive. Pakistan Navy has already sent out units for SAR.

Captured this picture a few minutes ago, outside his house. His family is stationed in PAF Base Minhas, Kamra.

hope the pilot is fine. this is the 3rd crash in a month, i know it's good to be prepared and do air drills, but when u loose 2 jets and 1 uav, u kinda have to wonder what would the situation be if we get into some conflict.
