PAF All Combat Squadrons and their air crafts

[khanasifm]

17th, 18th, 20th and 23rd on priority basis. That will be 64 JF17 Block 2 and then 7th, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 25th and 27th that will be 96 Aircrafts with probably JF17 Block 3. Lets see what actually happens. We do need another Aircraft line maybe F-16, J10 or Russian probably.

Each sqn starts with 16 plus later on attrition update expect averaging 2-4 additional Ac so 250/20 equals 12.5 with ~10 with ccs sqn and 12 sqn averaging 20

250/18 (16 +2 attrition replacement ) eq almost 14 sqn

250/16 almost 16 sqn with no attrition replacement

6 mirage 7 f7 plus 2 a5 equals total 15 sqn

4 f-16 sqn plus 1 Fcu sqn plus 15 jf sqn equal 20 sqn total CSS will only have jf and f16 (borrowed from no 14 sqn )

Unless paf opt for more f-16 (used Jordan etc $ or indict new type (1-2) in 5 year time less likely

I agree no life left in f7s even pg with 2400-2600 total life and paf adding its own package to get additional 100-200 (guess) hour per aircraft

Mirages will keep going as its fuselage and wing are being rebuilt now basically kind of SLEP and paf is using majority of Libyan Ac for spares

Not sure where is this min. requirement based on paf plans or data or your guess ?

India had total 42 sqn of fighters requirement (reality its 30-32 today with bulk old 21 etc ) so paf will maintain min. Of level of 20-22 , or half as a force as I know but my guess

@Windjammer @Side-Winder @Khafee @The Eagle

Was feeling board. I usually used to get confuse in names and numbers of Squadrons of PAF time to time, so come up with idea to arrange them in one place. Corrections are welcome.

Seriously we have a squadron named BANDITS !!!

It safe to say that next sqn is in the process of being formed on jf by end of the year or first qtr of 2018 they may have a flight already on the type

No.15 flew F-6s from Peshawar air base back in the early 1980s. Was famous for its entrance logo that read "WELCOME TO COBRA COUNTRY".
