Massive PAF exercises this month

Pakistan Air Force will hold its biggest exercises in the third week of this month. The exercises will cover the entire country, from Skardu in the north to Arabian Sea in the south. Sources told Dawn on Friday that High Mark 2010 would be different from all previous exercises because it would also feature operations involving army and navy personnel.

The sources said all new inductions, including the Swedish Airborne Early Warning and Control planes and mid-air refueller aircraft, would take part in the High Mark-2010 which was expected to continue for about 45 days.

^and just at the right time - i really like the 'integrated' approach which means that the PAF Doctrine written in the late 90s is being put to the test in this excercise. this excercise shd cost the defence budget to the tune of US$50-100m.

“The exercise would continue for 40 days and, for the first time, the JF-17 Thunder will also participate in the exercise, in addition to F-16s and other fighter planes,” the sources said, adding that it would be entirely an internal activity and no foreign nation would be invited to participate in it.

It is the main peacetime activity and will cover the entire country from Skardu in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south.

The exercise would also involve the army and naval contingents to show an integrated approach to deal with any eventuality in the time of war.

It would include joint operations with extensive participation from the army and navy, which would further enhance cooperation amongst the three forces.

Good to hear that. But we need PAF to grow not just in terms of professional excellence but in numbers too. In case of a very possible US-India joint attack under the excuse of defeating extremists or Taliban or jihadists or fundamentalists etc etc, we can't expect even the best of our jets and pilots to be able to maintain air superiority. We need atleast 150-200 new J-10s or similar 4th-5th generation aircraft to defend our skies better.
