Any body please conclude what was the summary of red flag participation of PAF. Either the american pilots have same comments about PAF what thay did say about indians a year ago

Is PAF shown there best skills

Expert opinion is required Plz
 
by the way about the video against IAF participation in RED FLAG was LEAKED not officially launched, that was a stupid move of some white guy. :|
these exercises have no results for publicity. its like demonstrating your expertise on international level where you will face friendly enemies.
if these exercises stars to announce results on international level like how many kills and loose!, it will leave a bad impact on low scoring/loosing air force.
so no air force is degraded, thats why when IAF video was leaked so many countries pointed their fingers towards IAF.
but what i know wining team is defiantly awarded.

PAF had many scores over USAF, following two are two of them.
but PAF had loose too.

NO. 8 SQUADRON'S "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE" SUCCEEDS
1500 HOURS - 30 MAY 1995

Flying a few feet above the Arabian Sea, the two Mirage pilots are impressed by the awesome silhouette of the nuclear-powered Abraham Lincoln as the carrier looms gradually above the sea curvature, dead on the nose. The mission: To penetrate successfully the Carrier Task Force's early warning and perimeter s and, to deliver a simulated Exocet guided missile attack on "the world's largest warship". The memorable sortie was flown during "Inspired Alert" - a Pakistan-US joint exercise. O.C. No. 8 Squadron, strictly following the ground rules, planned and led a simultaneous multidirectional attack profile against CVN-72, in an attempt to overload its . As two of the three Mirage pairs turned away, the lead Mirage carried out a simulated Exocet "launch" from several miles away, without meeting any of the ship's fighters. The Squadron Commander and his wingman later did a friendly fly by at the carrier's side, perhaps just as surprised as the Lincoln's crews, at the missed interception.

None publicly, red flag briefings are confidential.
the much maligned USAF officer was just conducting a press day.
It is expected for all participants to show their best.
 
PAF at its best always second to none baby always ;)
 
ok so first of all PAF f-16s carried out bombing missions, they didn't go up against any aircraft.

"Interdiction
92 FS, RSAF (F-15S)
9 MRS, PAF (F-16B)
425 FS, (Singapore, Luke AFB, Ariz.) (F-16CG)
VMFA-225, MCAS Miramar "
