PAFs CAS changeover takes place every 3 years in the month of March. ACM Tanvir Mahmood took over in March, 06 and its a usual switch: nothing sinister about it. :disagree: At this moment we need someone who is head strong, less politically influenced and can take a stand on the principle...

IMO it was a superb display of handling in landing a fighter that too in an Emergency at an airfield that is otherwise considered unsuitable for the fighter operations. The runway length of a usual PAF airfield is atleast 9000 feet, whereas Qasim base has less than 7000 feet of usable airfield...

I concur….:tup: PAF is sending a very clear message to all the jokers who still insist they can violate our space without being tackled or without meeting any resistance…While some people have been severely infected by superiority complexes because of some new toys and gadgets they have...

You are welcome AG... Regards, X

Post 197!! I think it was a very candid response to your post 191. But you didn’t learn anything from it and came up with more sarcasm in your post 198….Mate, if you were still looking for a loving hug after showing that type of knowledge, then I am sorry that you asked for a bit too...

First this… And now this… :tsk: I think if you want yourself to be taken seriously on this forum, you better correct your facts first…..Such childish remarks will only incite negative responses . PAF did lose number of aircrafts in air battle and on ground as well …No one is...

Well, till now I have found your contributions quite positive and not really biased. But being not biased doesn’t mean that one has to suck up to the members and mods to remain here, this forum respects criticism that is backed up by the facts….Majority members are mature enough to take...

Give us a break dude…..Your above statement speaks volumes of your bias and naïve thinking…..:tsk: Please don’t pollute this thread further with your useless and BS theories ...:disagree:

Although not Zaid Hamid but here is another interesting angle .... YouTube - Webster Tarpley in Studio on Alex Jones Tv:of Things to Come

The IR missiles have lot of shortcomings….While ground also being heated, generates a good amount of IR and the missile can be mislead into. Similarly, another tactic was to put your aircrafts nose towards the sun and then make a break to spoof the seeker of an IR missile…..lots of interesting...

Zoom up profiles!!! IMO these are very old tactics and probably no more applicable in the modern air warfare against a BVR threat…. Remember, perhaps from your 10th grade regarding the popular Doppler experiment where you listened to the sound of a train as it rushes past you with horn...

Thank AG for the friends request…I love reading your posts too, very informative…keep up the good show Few books that I read and like to recommend are:- Air Warfare in the Missile Age (by Lon Nordeen)…One of my fav…He also gives a very detailed accounts on both...

A lot of people I know, sit, wonder and discuss what they would do if they won the lottery. I just get on with my life and work. For me, reality is King…..I cherish and enjoy what I have and don’t cry on what I don’t have….Its simple :enjoy: You are talking and mixing two issues here...

Najam one bit of correction here….IMO He is not Shahid Javed but Shahid Latif…Presently Vice Chief of PAF, Air Marshal Shahid Latif now…:enjoy: Tail # 601 is an F-16B… I wonder who was the other pilot in the rear seat ??? Unless he ferried it solo!! On a lighter note, next time Vice Chief...

The things you are calling junk are actually protecting your arse for last 20 years…While you sleep tight in your comfy abode, this junk is making sure that you wake up happy….. Your thread header states ‘Logical question…..’, but unfortunately I don’t find...

A pre-emptive strike by PAF: well it all depends that how a war builds up and in which sector… Before the 1965 war was officially started, the skirmishes had already begun since April/May 1965….PAF fully entered the conflict in September until the culmination of the war…I do...

Great Job Najam :tup:

Here are the original six: the pioneers of our F-16 gang…:enjoy: From L-R : Sami Toor , Shahid Latif, Shahid Javed, Gen Zia, CAS Anwar Shamim, Ahmad Kuli Khattak, Ovais , Muzaffar ( ???? ) Sorry for the bad quality of pic….

0 mph on the ground????? I don’t have a clue what you are saying here!!! :disagree: You are right that high altitudes reduces landing and take performances because the jet engine are big suckers, the less air you give them the more they will under perform…. Atmosphere thins...
