PAF is the best

 

[LeGenD]

I take that as a compliment. But professionalism of PAF pilots might be second to none nonetheless.

Why USAF Chief visiting Pakistan? For "Do more" thing or something else?

Why USAF Chief visiting Pakistan? For "Do more" thing or something else?

Cause Pak air chief was in russia the other day.

He was invited.

He was invited.

Why he was invited? They are not playing friendly with us these days.

So you mean he is here with stick to keep PAF away from its available options?

I take that as a compliment. But professionalism of PAF pilots might be second to none nonetheless.

Any doubt....although we know PAF likes to keep a tab on these things.

My friend, our Chief of Air Staff invited him. The agenda of this meeting is not public knowledge yet.

Politics aside, armed forces perceive matters in a different manner than general public.

Our CoAS may plead for more F-16s and cooperation while showing them that we have option to avail.

Bro,

F-16 Block 52+ is an excellent aircraft. In capable hands (e.g. experienced PAF pilots), it can take on any 4th generation fighter aircraft in a battle.

However, exercises are meant for evaluating others and learning from them, but war is a different story. In a (modern-era) conventional conflict, a state's network-centric warfare capabilities and situational awareness will make considerable difference for it in the battlefield.

He's visiting at the invitation of PAF, just like our Airchief was invited by his Russian counterpart. Armed forces operate differently than the politicians, remember a PAF contingent is currently in US participating in Red Flag.

Actually it was the F-16A MLU model.

Exactly.

Fair enough. I suppose MLU is worth it.

So I guess they really were upgraded to block 50 standard.

Some say closer to Block-52. ???
