ISLAMABAD: The promotion of three officers from the rank of air vice-marshal to air marshal was approved on Tuesday, the Government said in a statement.Air Vice Marshals Syed Noman Ali, Zaheer Ahmad Babar, and Javad...www.geo.tv
But he will retire on 3 July 2022 ?
I don't recall seeing a VCAS being picked on the same day as the CAS. Either the VCAS news is fake or something new has happened.I suppose that seniority won the day.
Good choice by the PM.
Good to see that HP will be VCAS. The PAF needs the experience of these veterans.
The lessons of Swift Retort will go a long way in making the PAF even more lethal.
Hopefully the new CAS will take the PAF to greater heights.
