You typically don’t get this, aside from a few loud mouth pilots/officers.

Not from Red Flag but from another Multi-National Exercise.

It didn't start well at all for the PAF as In the first week / initial days of the exercise, they took multiple hits, however at the end of the first phase of the exercise, they managed to salvage some pride and kept the score 50/50... Once the PAF Boys realised what they were up against and the tactics the Rafales, Typhoons and Eagles have adopted.... they regrouped, debriefed, re-planned and went on the offensive. Second week around the Chief Umpire made a special visit to the PAF camp as the PAF Falcons messed everyone up. Don't believe me? Ask the French Chief Umpire whose comments were:
"YOU PAKISTANI'S ARE KILLING MACHINES."

I'd be curious to find out if the PAF was invited to it this year. This year is extremely different and most complicated than all prior years. One side has all other platforms and -35's and the other side will have the -22. The experience gained this year would be nothing compared to prior years.

The only thing our boys lack is modern fighter jets. Jf-17s is filling in the gaps nicely however block-3 would hopefully cater to our needs to a true modern platform.
