I want to see this plane in Pakistani colors. Its sexy. Its capable and in hands of PAF, will do wonders.

I read somewhere but cant confirm that Pakistan pilots were involved in training on Saudi Typhoons too.
 
Qatrio ki napak sazish pakistan ko sikha rhe he Rafael urana
Since 2017. So by now, they are expert pilots...
In fact, PAF pilots have flown Russian MiGs and even shot down enemy aircrafts in their first time.

purchase of 24 Rafales (six of them two-seat trainers) in May 2015. A dozen more aircraft were added to the order in December 2017. Qatar’s Rafales differ in detail from those delivered to France and Egypt, and integration of the Lockheed Martin Sniper targeting pod and Elbit Systems TARGO-II helmet-mounted target designation system required extensive testing.

The first Rafale DQ for Qatar, a two-seater, made its first flight on June 28, 2016, while the single-seat Rafale EQ flew for the first time on March 27, 2017. The aircraft are being supplied with MBDA MICA IR, MICA EM, and Meteor air-to-air missiles and with MBDA SCALP-EG cruise missiles and a range of air-to-ground weapons, including laser- and GPS-guided Safran AASM (Armement Air-Sol Modulaire) Hammer missiles.

Qatari personnel will be trained at Base Aérienne 118 Mont-de-Marsan in southwestern France, Rochefort, and the Joint Intelligence Training Institute in Strasbourg. The first batch of pilots trained for Qatar in November 2017 were Pakistani exchange officers. Escadron de Chasse 04.030 was established at Mont-de-Marsan as the Qatar Rafale Squadron on Oct. 1, 2017. The Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, visited the Qatari Rafale Squadron at Mont-de-Marsan on July 6, 2018, accompanied by French defense minister Florence Parly.

Under the SOUTEX program the Armee de l’Air is training 250 personnel who will man the first Qatari Rafale squadron. This unit will initially be commanded by a French officer until later this year when command will be transferred to a Qatari officer before the unit transfers to Qatar in the summer of 2020.

Pakistan now knows detail performance about rafale before their Indian ccounterart. This experience might help Pakistan develop tactics how to counter rafale in Indian hand .
 
Indian Rafales comes with India specific customization.

Regarding the training, people should know that Singapore Airforce practices with IAF in India often and we also have access to F16's.

That's the difference between Pakistani and Indian pilots.. you couldn't do anything to F-16, and we killed your Su30..

Yeh tu iaf ka blatkar hoyi gova :yay:
 
Aw man this kind of info is better kept hidden we all knew of this. We should keep india in dark, surprises are good for battlefields

I hope we keep our mouths shut about co-operstions going on with USA, CHINA, TURKEY, SAUDI ARABIA, EGYPT AND RUSSIA. We have so much to loose if we make stuff public. But indians do have rough idea that we know almost everything there is to know abiut their capabilities and how to counter them. Plus a few things i cant say for the sake of national secrecy.
 
Lol, the Pakistanis here think that Qatar will allow Pakistanis to fly their Rafales against India in a skirmish.
