Hi mods a few of my posts were deleted a short while ago. Can you please explain why they were deleted.
or what those posts were so I can ascertain whether I was even at fault in first place??

Because posts have no value, adding nothing to the topic in hand or worth reading w.r.t. subject of this thread. Please avoid such discussion.

Regards,

In 2014 a bomb exploded while being dropped from a PAF F-16B. Aircraft was damaged and despite multiple systems failures and a non responsive throttle it was saved and flying in PAF after repairs.

CM-400AKG

This supersonic standoff missile was first on display at the 2012 Zhuhai Airshow as part of FC-1/JF-17's "complete" weapon package. Unlike most modern ASMs flying at the low altitude, the missile flies a rare high ballistic trajectory, powered by a solid rocket motor. It appears that CM-400AKGmay have evolved from the earlier SY-400 SRBM. Therefore the effectiveness of such attack profile is still unknown. Some specifications: weight 900kg, max range 240km, max speed Mach 5.5 (at diving stage?). It has INS during the mid-course and utilizes active/passive radar/IIR seeker with target-recognition capabilities at the terminal stage, which may improve its accuracy. CM-400AKG is speculated to have been designed to attack fixed or "slow moving", high value ground targets. Up to two CM-400AKGs can be carried by an FC-1/JF-17. A small yellow dorsal antenna was installed probably to provide the datalink between the missile and the aircraft. It has yet to see if CM-400AGK will enter the service with PAF. A recent image (July 2016) suggested that the program was still making progress with JF-17 seen undergoing weapon integration tests, possibly to meet the requirement of a new customer.

No matter what paf is saying in public, I believe pakistan got cm400akg in decent numbers

Did see a inventory/procurement document for the CM-400AKG. Can't recall number but PAF has a sizable quantity on order. Was unable to find the document again.

Saab notes AEW&C sales successes in 2017

Gareth Jennings, London - IHS Jane's Defence Industry

16 February 2018

Saab secured SEK3.35 billion (USD420 million) in sales for its airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) systems in 2017, the company disclosed during its annual results briefing on 16 February.

Saab secured two sales for its airborne early warning and control platforms in 2017, though the classified nature of the contracts means that few details have bene made public. Saab

The figure was secured across two separate sales announced in January and May of last year, valued at SEK2 billion and SEK1.35 billion respectively.

The nature of the AEW&C contracts was such that Saab declined to divulge further details on either deal, except to say that the first award would see deliveries from 2019 to 2021, with those for the second running from 2017 to 2020.

Saab did not disclose its customers in either of these instances, but it was reported at the time that the second SEK1.35 billion deal would probably cover three new Erieye aircraft for Pakistan. These would replace one Saab 2000-based Erieye aircraft that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) lost in an insurgent attack on its operating base in 2013, and augment the remaining three that were ordered in 2006 for a full-strength force of six.

If this order is for Pakistan, it is not clear if it will comprise the same Saab 2000 turboprop-based system as the country’s original order, or if it will be based on the company’s latest Global 6000 business jet-based GlobalEye that features the S-band (2 to 4 GHz) Erieye Extended Range (ER) radar.

While these latest two contracts have been shrouded in secrecy, Saab has previously publicised a deal for the GlobalEye with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the platform’s previously held moniker of Swing Role Surveillance System (SRSS). However, the company has consistently declined to discuss this contract since the initial announcement in 2015.

India abandons procurement of single engine fighters, will focus on twin engine types. so no F16 or Gripen on the horizon.

If made available then why not otherwise they will stick to their current type.

CFS was in Pakistan to exchange ideas on the latest instructional techniques the RAF uses for pilot training. A very successful visit to 2 bases and also to the Air HQ in Islamabad.

And they couldn't have sent any better guys there. The man on the right flew for the RAF Red Arrows as a pilot and he flew vintage aircraft for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The FIS course at PAF Risalpur was originally designed and modified over the years through inputs and feedback from CFS Cranwell.

Is this a news or a statement?
