Tail Choppers to re-equip with JF-17

[CHI RULES]

Personally I like the F7s. I think that PAF should raise a sub branch like air national guard which comprise of the F7s.

F7s along with Mirage 3s of PAF have high loss rate and dangerous to handle. Considering condition of old platforms the only feasible platform for national guard role is F7PG which may also require further upgrades.

Actually No. 9 and No. 5 are the oldest PAF squadrons respectively.
Some sources suggest that 9 + 5 = 14.....that's how No 14 came into existence as the third oldest PAF unit.

What happend to the ca. 40 A-5 Fantans ? Did they get a last overhaul in the F-6 rebuild factory befored stored, or are they parked to be rust down in the desert.

Good to see another squadron being raised. We need to raise 1 every year to keep a healthy replacement rate going for old F7 and Mirages.

That's a very good news. Have they able to increase the production rate upto 25/year? @Windjammer

Tail Choppers , huh ? Name suggest that they are Interceptors right ? JF-17 is Good for Interceptor Role ?

There is a history behind that name of no 14 Squadron, 'Tail Choppers'.

Congrgulations PAF.
So that's how many operational block 2s in total?


No, actually this name was given because a fighter from this squardon chopped the tails off (with machine gun fire) parked IAF aircrafts on an IAF airbase.

That's good info thanks...
