Pakistan Air Force fighters practise landings, take-offs on highway
Farhan Bokhari, Islamabad - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
26 September 2016
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) ordered on 22 September the closure of parts of the country's six-lane 375 km-long motorway from Islamabad to Lahore to enable its fighters to practise landings and take-offs in case of an emergency. Among the aircraft flown by the PAF were CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunders, Lockheed Martin F-16s and Dassault Mirages.
The move, which PAF officials said was part of the 'High Mark' exercise, came amid growing tensions between Pakistan and neighbouring India following the 18 September militant attack on an army base in Indian-administered Kashmir in which 19 soldiers were killed and 30 others injured.
