Sargodha, First Line Of Offence !

[StormBreaker]

The Mirages are going to fly till at least 2025 and possibly even beyond.
With the ROSE upgrades all of them have they’re much more potent than the F7Ps and PGs and they Have a better safety record, hence the F7s are being retired firsts (the Ps have mostly been retired and the PGs are next). After that it’ll be the mirages.

I was referring to mirage 3 specifically and i think Mirage 5 will remain even after 2025

Mirage 3s from Lebanon are barely 20 years old air frames. They will be flying for some time.

We badly need more new F16s... can’t rely on JF17s in the event of India’s aggression with Rafale and S-400 backing it up ..

No, we need J31s.

I think this picture is from a recent visit by Russians. It's kind of a homage to the guests for the sake of a nice picture. Nothing more.

We are currently producing 16 JF-17s every year, however, having two in the line up is interesting.

JF17B + JF17A i reckon ..

That's odd since the image only appeared on a Chinese website..... I am under the impression that it may be a similar photoshoot as was done for JF-17s, although that was mostly air to air .

JF17B + JF17A i reckon ..

Yes it seems one is a Bravo version.

 

[Windjammer]

One source says that all the units in the image operate from the base.
If true then one JF-17 is from CCS the other must be from Aggressors.
Also shouldn't Erieye be part of the package. !

Possible a photoshoot similar to the one in the 90s.

Seems like PAF were more diverse back then. Now we only see F16 and JF17.

No, we need J31s.

We actually need 2 types of planes we need a single engine beast hence the f-35 would be an outstanding option but uncle yank beer donald would not dare to sell it to us.

another type of aircraft that we need is an air craft capable of strike & jamming which can also fight its way out after the mission hence the Duckling is a very good option I bet tons of EW equipment can be put up in the galley of the SU-34 (replace the bathroom and kitchen area).

But the down side to Russian equipment is spare parts RuAF cannibalizes its planes for spare parts the problem with the Russian is that they will sell you the best looking fighter on the paper to you for a cheap price (compared t west) but will Bash you with lack of spares and then when they do have spare its expensive as hell their doctrine is different from us .

How is that, Five of the aircraft in the image are Chinese including two trainers.

It's really annoying as some half a dozen various sites are displaying this image without further explanations.

#Rare satellite image from #Sargodha airbase #Pakistan captures a possible multi platform airforce demo on site, all units are suspected to operate from the base - cc @sbreakintl

 

[Windjammer]

Sources now claiming that this image was captured by a satellite....usually if you google Sargodha, you be lucky to spot more than a couple of aircraft parked around.
