Not really a like for like comparison, yes, Bholari is austere, but Shabaz is very similar in layout to the above, as is Masroor.

Look at the links between runways, HAS construction and camo, siting of support structures- everything is superb. For Shahbaz or Masroor which are main bases you must compare with Tel Nof or Hatzerim.

An image of IDFAF airbase at Ovda. A peripheral base but look at the level of layout, design and overall quality. In comparison our own recently built Bholari is plain and rustic.
Just my thoughts, by the way

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but what are the chances PAF will induct High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites into it's inventory,? They're dirt cheap compared to a real satellite and can provide live imagery of the battlefield.
They can be a game changer in counter-terrorism operations as well as border management. From live imagery of an area, to providing secure comms to troops....

I'm thinking something like the Airbus Zephyr, NASA Pathfinder or Boeings SolarEagle.
A squadron of HAPS could be a game changer.

We need half a dozen such bases in Baluchistan to curb stomp the terrorists there, such bases can be used for drone and CT operations.

They will cost alot... it very unlikely to have such number

Airbus Zephyr costs 5mil, can stay in air for 90 days.

This is upfront cost ... maintenance, running, infrastructure and training cost need to taken into account

I mean, it's still going to be cheaper than a fighter jet.

When pride exceeds ego's grasp, then patches like this come up. They should stick with the originals and come up with better ones.
