Obviously there isn't a 24/7 physical presence, but i'm pretty sure the camera feeds are monitored 24/7.

I would concur. The virtual presence is indeed 24/7 as technology makes it easier to reduce the amount of physical presence needed to ensure secure monitoring.

Women should come forward to join PAF, other fields: Saba Khan

Tuesday, 12 March 2013 11:49 Posted by Parvez Jabri

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Air Force is the most respectable field for women to serve, provided they are given all pre requisite education and training.
These words were expressed by the Flight Lieutenant, Pakistan Air Force Saba Khan in a talk with PTV Tuesday.
She said that she was the first in the batch of four pilots in Pakistan Air Force with great support and encouragement by her family.
She said PAF is the best profession for women to opt for and she would advise girls to join this field.
She said PAF training is very tough as flying itself is very demanding and it's very challenging physically and mentally adding final handling training is really very tough in this regard.
She appreciated PAF's decision about women's inclusion in PAF and was of the view that what matters is the expertise and not the gender as male or female in any field.
She added that we are proud to be able PAF's graduate pilots.
She said although there is a tough training in this field but she never compromised on physical training and now she is one of the best flying pilot in PAF.

Thumbs up for PAF from Flight Lieutenant Saba Khan and a fellow female pilot.

It's odd PAF pilots deputed to Pakistan Navy are flying in skardu. Perhaps a traning sortie

It's important to remain level headed in times good and bad. Much like the j-10 wouldn't suddenly give us air superiority over the IAF, it's absence doesn't doom us either. Does it leave us in a disadvantageous position? Absolutely, but that isn't the end of the world. If your fear is based plainly on a one to one comparison, then it maybe a good time to remember those sanctioned block 15s of yore would have been mowed down by the MKI as well. We were outmatched then and we are outmatched now. Which is why any PAF posturing over the last 20 years has been very defensive in nature.

If we focus on the geopolitical reality of the subcontinent and the role of the Indian and Pakistani forces in maintaining it, then this should come as no surprise. Minimum deterrence has been the term thrown around often on this forum and it does accurately reflect the present PAF capability. The PAF can defend Pakistani airspace and offer a limited strike and CAS capability. In short, we can defend ourselves, until a diplomatic solution presents itself.

On a side note, to claim that our neighbor's pilots are inferior is a great insult to the PAF pilots who risk their lives by going toe to toe against them.
