Can you please tell the numbers?

Sir Ajit Doval would be pleased with you.

You can reply sensibly or not at all, decision is yours and reflects your character, not mine.

Question to you , @airomerix and @Raider 21

I have seen Azman sb wearing Anti G vest (similar to one below) in one of the videos. However, I don't see it normally being worn (at least in pictures).

Does the F-16 community use it in PAF or was it just a one off personal item?

Probably a personal item from his time when he flew F-16s in USA

I'm dismayed to see these tall brick walls on every PAF base, whatever protection they may provide to the aircraft, during a raid say an enemy rocket strikes these walls, the falling debris could still damage the aircraft parked below.
i like the Malaysian approach in this manner.

And what is the Malaysian approach? It would be really grateful if you could explain. Your reply is much appreciated.

They seem to use Aluminium or metal dividers, a rocket or bullet would pierce through it without much debris.

Very smart I must say.

Pakistani F.16's don't carry sparrow missiles.

Yes posted that a few days earlier...some are of suggestion that they are JDAMS.

GBU-38s are indeed JDAMs.

J-DAM kit is required to convert unguided bombs into guided ones.
