If you’ve been following his posts you should have realised by now that he’s “landed” practically every jet in existence around the world apart from F-22 at a “secret” PAF airbase that no one knows about.

Two questions: 1) Is this a significantly different system than the A-100? 2) Are the launchers being used the same as the A-100 or are they indigenously produced as well?

In a parallel universe the Block 72s, C-130Js, J-15s have all landed in Pakistan and even PAF high command is unable to detect them due to classified stealth technology.

ADFs are so sexy! Shame they can’t use our AMRAAMs

🤦‍♂️

I thought a few times before sharing it. The reason I did was because the boys were all resting at a service station with hundreds of passengers in plain sight..the exact location I won’t share but it doesn’t really make any difference because everybody there was taking pictures. Not everyday...

Passed a column of at least 10 of these coming towards Lahore on the motorway yesterday. Very poor picture quality and since I am not an artillery expert I don’t know what kind of gun this is.

Fakhar e Alam shared the cockpit image of the Puma as well. I was surprised to see the full glass/lcd makeover. Didn’t know our Pumas got cockpit upgrades.

I dont think we should be expecting anything more on the Su-30 front.

To be honest this looks more like a photoshop to me. My finding was based on the information available on ADF's and their ability to wield these weapons. Perhaps someone else can chip in here.

This might be slightly off topic but since the IL-78's are also carrying out cargo ops, won't we require additional tankers with newer jets like Block-3 and (possibly) J-10's arriving?

Yes I do believe they did ask for upgrades but the Jordanian jets we acquired have not gone through any upgrades to enable them to carry the C's. Structurally they can carry the missile, its the firing that's not possible as the AIM120C is a significant enhancement over the previous versions.

F-16 ADFs cannot carry the Aim-120Cs that PAF has in stock. The ones we acquired from Jordan are the basic ADF versions designed to carry upto 6 AMRAAMs of the older models. We do not have the AIM-120A or B. These jets are modified Block-15s and without any upgrades are not capable of firing the...

There is no need to keep a state secret about something that is widely known to anyone who can google ADF F-16s and their capabilities. News came out because the individual units of ADFs we bought from Jordan are all OCU versions of the earliest blocks and did not go through any MLU...

Perhaps in dogfighting. Since it does not have the capability to fire the Aim-120C in our inventory (unless the radars were upgraded discreetly..which is highly unlikely) there is no way it beats the JF-17 in BVR combat.

Some senior members had said a few weeks ago that Noman Ali Khan was in the US with a group of other PAF pilots. Since he's back now..is there any update on the reasons why he was there?

My God..it looks brand new. They've got some talented folks there in Kamra.

No one answered anything. It could mean the issue has been resolved but most likely means that things are being negotiated.

His response was quite evasive. All he said was "there's progress". That could mean anything.

What did the DG ISPR say that makes you come to that conclusion?
