Any deal with Iran would be interesting, isn't there sanction on weapon sale to Iran? What I see is that their war doctrine has too much dependence on their missile program. It gives them a good wild card to play against USA and Israel, which are way better than Iran in conventional weapons.

Long story cut short, Israel will never attack alone. There is a reason why west and Iran are sitting around dialogue table since almost a decade. Israel need US help in form of stealth bombers and stealth fighters to target Iran's underground nuclear stations. But what will Israel do if Iran...

Forget 100, he should not have delayed and dumped the 36 F-16 Block52 deal. That so called 'Earthquake rehabilitation' theory delayed delivery of 36 new +28 old F-16s deal. Today the Mirages and F-7s (not -PGs) we still see flying in numbers is because of all those things that happened from...

Indeed it is required, but that PR campaign works well if somebody from west conveys such message. ISPR have helped some local writers and journalist on writing such issues. Such people are also invited in seminars conducted by local think tanks on foreign policy matters or nuclear studies...

Its not ISPR that has to answer, our foreign office is the one responsible. It seems our Ministers, parliamentarians and other policy makers have become tired of replying...Its been long time we heard even a typical political statement on such issues. This silence is the reason behind...

Then please cross-reference material before posting. Social media websites are full of such inaccurate stuff, but here we have to maintain quality.

This has become a trend now, not a new thing... Pakistan has been projected as a naughty kid that gets blame for everything...what ever sh!t happens, blame that on him and no-one will ask further questions. Small solution for any problem isn't it?:D

Today JF-17 pilots are mostly the younger lot, the pilot at 1:41 is one of the few F-6 era pilots now flying Thunder.

That is close to total number of mirages bought since 1967. Not operational count. Out of 50 Ex-Libyan mirages deal, only few (6-10) aircraft were inducted in PAF (after overhauling them), the remaining ones were used as spares. As of today, total count of Mirages in PAF is way less than...

@Tehmasib Non-PAF F-16 photos are not allowed in this thread, unless they are posted for discussion purpose.

...because of the terms and conditions they were offered with. One of the key points was rolling back Nuke program and get 120 A-7s in exchange.

No, Its not. I have heard this from multiple sources, some of those pilots were deployed in Nuclear ADA of 98...perhaps @Sir MuradK, an ex-PAF officer can shed some light on that.

On a side note, KARF was re-named to Avionics Production Factory in 2011. Their role and tasks have changed in past few years, especially after development of avionics facility for production and testing of JF-17 avionics in 2010. Apart from modernizing ground radars they have done some fine...

If you bother to read posts or some senior members and Mods on this thread, this all might be something new for you. Just because people in your country haven't heard about attempts by IAF that doesn't change any facts. Isreal attempted a strike on Pakistani Nuclear sites at least 3 three...

Congratulations to all new JR.TTs, you all deserved this. Looking forward to see more of your thoughts.

I believe so. Producing one more extra air frame is not a problem, losing a precious member of the team is one.

Back then, such large number of aircraft can't be spared at one time. Even 4 was a BIG number, considering 28/30 operational F-16s. The incident narrated by Oscar was merely last effort, IF everything goes out of order and an aircraft with vital assets go rouge. You will be surprised to hear...

Not sure about that, may be on PDF PAF means Paksitan Air Force only:D
