PAF participates in "Red Flag" and "Green Flag"

[blain2]

I have already asked the same question and I was informed that Pakistani Pilots have been flying UAE F16-Blk60 for last several years. So these planes aren't new for us. PAF is already at home with these birds

Its mostly hearsay.

Had this been the case, the PAF would not have had 8 or so pilots in the US undergoing conversion on blk-52s currently (they have been there for a few months now).

Lets try not to over-exaggerate own capabilities. Everybody has to learn and do so constantly. Every time gents here put out claims of PAF having everything under their belt, they are actually undermining the image of the PAF and setting themselves up for a disappointment.

I agree! But PAF didn't make it public. Why would they? It is against the the terms UAE signed with USA. Heck! USA hasn't even provided all the source codes for F16s AESA radar. It is like a secret mission There are credible rumors of PAF pilots flying UAE F16s.

Underestimating own capabilities is also not right. Our forces have the capability to repel any kind of aggression. It is always our pathetic leaders who disappoint us. Have faith bro

What pakistani fanboys also often forget is that PAF is not spending millions to go there and show whos the daddy but instead is going as humble students to learn from the daddy himself.

great posts gambit keep them coming

Yaar indestructible,

There are just as many (or perhaps more) Americans advising in the UAE as Pakistanis. If Pakistanis were flying the blk-60s, the Americans would have brought this up and secondly we would have known about it more openly.

Familiarization flights on a blk-60 is one thing, flying them regularly to maintain hours on the platform is an entirely different thing. If I am not mistaken, we have done the latter on the Mirage 2000s but not on the blk-60s. The UAEAF has enough local pilots who do the flying on these aircraft. They have been very generous in inviting PAF for bi-lateral and multi-lateral trainings for the past few years in which we have interacted closely with the blk-60s and that is the extent of our familiarization. Once we have blk-52 inducted and have built a pool of pilots who are trained on it, then there would be a possibility that if UAEAF ever wanted to (I do not see any specific reasons) have PAF fly their blk-60s, we would be able to do so quickly.

Well....never though of that You are so correct! So this brings up my question to top again....Why PAF is going to RED FLAG then? And how/which many planes they are taking with them?

I recently heard that PAF hasn't given any answer to US invitation to red flag. Any updates guys?

No updates or schedule as yet.

As far to my knowledge and having talked to some fighter pilots, Red Flag is no mere serious exercise, its coordinated and thought-out. Its more of a social event instead.

To correct you bro, there are no PAF pilots on UAE F-16s, I know from my experience with UAE Air Force.
