[Major Sam]

ISLAMABAD: Due to financial constraints and non release of funds by the federal government, the Pakistan Air force (PAF) has suspended its up gradation and development plan called “Air Force Development Plan 2025,” says a report of the Senate’s standing committee on defence Thursday.

The committee quoted Air Chief marshal Tahir Rafique in its report, who, it said, told the committee members during its recent visit to the air headquarters that the AFDP 2025 programme was launched in 2003/04 by former president Pervez Musharraf aimed at making it at par with modern air forces of the world.

He said under the plan, the PAF received money by the federal government till 2007.

“After 2007 PAF did not get a penny from federal government and had to shelve the plan,” the air chief was quoted as saying in the report by its Chairman Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed.

The report further said that due to suspension of the development plan, PAF had to close number of projects which have affected the overall up gradation in the country including air bases, jets and other facilities.

The report also quoted air chief as saying that the PAF was also not given full share in the defence budget and it received only 60 per cent of the whole budget allocated for PAF.

I doubt the IAF bigwigs are that war hungry, besides if the common man knows that the first 100 kms (or so) into the Pakistani side from the IB is networked with air defense systems, do you really believe IAF leadership, knowing that would, in all their wisdom (and at the rare moments..the lack of it) follow the way of some of the keyboard warriors here?

Now is the time for top Paf officials to shun corruption, reduce their lavish lifestyle, take pay cuts, pay rent on the premises the reside in, get rid of multiple vehicles for personal transport and we can save huge amount of money that can be invested back in to paf.

PPP gobbled it all...

The military already got $6.2 billion out of the $33 billion budget last year. What more do they bloody want?

Why would we ever want to do that? That is as long as you mind your business.

 

[MJaa]

unlimited corruption by Mr10% means limited budget for the defence projects where he has no share of his own

 

[Kompromat]

yup easy to blame the ppp, the sindhis but never blame Punjab Muslim league Nawaz who have set all records of corruption, money laundering etc etc etc.

Its not about sindhi or punjabi la la la.... its about who had the previous government.

 

[dexter]
