Lets think objectively.
If PAF is lying, what objectives will it meet? Keeping people cool on National loss and keeping its enemies guessing about its operational strength...or they are just covering up this arses?
The bold part can be covered up only till a small period of time, this...
If you are placing a smaller package of JF-17 (operating independently) in such scenario then this statement is fairly reasonable. But if you think along the lines of network centric way of war, you'll get your answer.
...I hope this discussion does not escalate to same IAF vs PAF.
Interesting points...so by showing "good boy" attitude by accepting all such demands means "do-more" or "NO more" demands? Indeed "the list is endless."
Both. Integration of new chip-set and microprocessors are part of on going development process. If some big change occurs,its gradually implemented in the operational aircraft. Even the new Block-I JF-17s are "marginally" better than the ones in service...but that doesn't matter, overall...
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
- Mary Frye (1932)
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow;
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain;
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush;
I am...
Were you sleeping since 2004, and got up today? It was Mushsharf's time when these strikes started. I clearly recall their statements, at first his Govt claimed that PAF is conducting air strikes. By late 2006/early 2007, drones were operating from Shamsi.
And the secret deals you are talking...
He is referring to the new techniques adopted by PAF pilots for flight envelope testing on JF-17. Some of the pioneer test pilots of JF-17 went to U.K for Advance Command and Staff Course (ACSC), which included exclusive lessons on flight testing, aerodynamics etc. These pilots later implemented...
Interesting visual analysis. Its not just hardware that needs to be state-of-the-art, Avionics,weapon suite and testing are equally important.
Congratulations to China, there is still a long way to go. But as they say:"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
Small?
Here is a different perspective.
Pakistan: Drone attack in Pakistan: 2005-2012
Following sources claims that out of 3004 total deaths 2393 were civilians. References are also posted in the table.

Yes, I think so. Tempest II posted a link (on JF-17 main thread) of SIPRI. It had details of almost all major procurement by Pakistan. You need to look into that for further details.
I think it was delivered to PAF in late 2010/ early 2011. The rest of question are answered by Imran on the following thread.

Following photo was taken in July 2009. Interestingly it shows transition from old to new serials on C-130s. Two nearest C-130s 3668(or 3660?) and 4282 are carrying COMINT antennas.
Now since its a Hi-resolution photo, I am expecting you guys to give me a count of C-130s visible...Spare some...
Due to the nature of the role assigned to these C-130s with FLIR, i won't be surprised to if one of them serves in jungle camou scheme.
Both Air Forces have different systems installed in their C-130. USAF EC-130s are truly for electronic role, they have various type of sensors and antennas to...
It was sent by SAAB, not PAF. Last I heard under evaluation in Sweden and pending delivery to Pakistan. SAAB (If not PAF) should have released delivery report in media or internet.
C-130E Serial# 3536 and 3702 are believed to have Star Fire EO/IR turrets. C-130E Serial#4282 (I think with old number 4727, as said by you) with lots of antennas underneath lower fuselage is used for COMINT (Communications Intelligence). Most of these aircraft are assigned to No.21 Sqn..which...
Sir you missed my question. I'm rephrasing it.
What disciplinary action will be taken of a unit/station commander makes illegal profit (or lets say succeeds in getting profit by violating laws) of the unit/station's money? (Of course he can use it to fill some pockets or can put it into good...
