Air-to-Ground weapon testing range.
Aircraft bunkers..
Air-to-ground??? Like, fired from air??
This place is right next to hangars and runway.
Maybe for block 52's.
Look wide enough to accommodate 2 aircraft. But there are no markings leading up to them. Yellow lines.
And the top is probably sand.
Aircraft bunkers..
But the entrance is unusual, how will the aircraft come out of the hanger, how will it turn like there is no roam for the wingspan??
Sir, a question that rises in every Pakistani's mind that ARE AMERICANS NECESSARY ON EACH BASE WHERE THERE IS ANY F-16..?
Can't we send them back to their soil?
I thought we were going for used Norway F-16s. Any news on that?

PAF buys old and used a/c and with strong, one-of-it's kind maintenance, they increase the life. Won't be difficult.they are junk yaar used over sea many years and all are very rare dear just look at them . and used very bady by them PAF rejet them already
I doubt this is a weapons firing range.
Type PAF base Jacobadad on Google Maps, and you get to Jacobabad Airport. However, you will notice that there are aircraft storage sheds right next to runway, indicating PAF aircraft stationed there.
The picture that NuclearPak posted, shows a total of 9 shelters in line, with two ways/paths out of them, leading to the taxiway, indicating 18 such ways leading to the taxiway. We just got 18 F-16s there, so maybe these sheds are for new F-16s there. However, again, see on Google Earth, these sheds are lined up pretty far from the main and the only runway. Maybe they will construct a newer one close to these sheds in the future?
Please check GoogleEarth for a complete view of the base. You can also see two MI 17 helicopters parked on the Apron.

Nice observations. PAF Base Shahbaz was building new and modern hangars for the Vipers, and they were not just 18 hangars but close to 50. JF-17 Block II is planned to be placed at the same base.
