What's new

Extremley cool and never seen footage from PAF

Complete footage of ACM flypast from takeoff to landing



Excellent footage!!! Did anyone get the clever message behind the in-cockpit live video :cheers:?? It was to tell the world that Pakistan has its own data link solution in place which can now link ground control (and external communication's equipment like the TV and Satellites communication mediums, which are primarily Chinese based), with the link 16 and its real time and word with all platforms, irrespective of jets being Chinese or Western :toast_sign:
 
Good find.
First ever video showing AN-TP 72 Radar
First ever showing under ground netcentric radar control room.
First ever showing Mirages refuelling in Hd
 
Came across these a few days back. Particularly like the close up of weapon delivery footage.
The Air chief's video has certainly caused ripples.

@ 0:16, The "Sabers Nine"

A striking feature of this 1964 aerobatics team of the PAF was that five out of these nine pilots were awarded the Sitara-e-Jurat during the 1965 War. Of these pilots, Rafiqui, Munir and Yunus attained Shahadat and M M Alam became an ace. The leader, Wing Comander Anwar Shamim, later became the Chief of the Air Staff.

The Team: Wing Commander M Anwar Shamim, Squadron Leader M Arshad, Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Rafiqui, Squadron Leader Mukhtar Ali, Squadron Leader Muniruddin Ahmad, Squadron Leader M M Alam. Flight Lieutenant M M Khalid, Flight Lieutenant Yusaf A Khan, Flight Lieutenant Yunus Hussain

Many thanks! but it's the same low quality one :/ The one in the video has an acoustic guitar being strum in the background, all the others don't. Maybe the video is using a remastered version?

Yes, unfortunately they haven;t released the remastered version
