EARTH BREAKING CEREMONY OF PAF AIRPOWER CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE HELD AT PAF BASE MUSHAF

Islamabad 22 February, 2016: Earth breaking ceremony of PAF Airpower Centre of Excellence (PAF ACE) was held at PAF Base, Mushaf today.
Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman, Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force was the chief guest at the occasion. Principal Staff Officers and senior PAF officers attended the ceremony.

PAF ACE will be one of the very few airpower centres of the world and the first of its class in the region. The institute would link operations, research and doctrine to orchestrate air campaigns with air combat tactics. The institute would enhance PAF capability to undertake complex, demanding future challenges and counter terrorist operations.

While addressing the audience, The Air Chief said that establishment of this institution would be an important hallmark in PAF’s training regimen and it would pave the way for provision of quality training to PAF’s personnel. He further said that establishment of this facility would further strengthen the relations of Pakistan Air Force with friendly airforces of the world.

For those not familiar with these establishments, the ACE will serve as PAF Red Flag.

As i said like the US Red Flag or the Turkish Anatolian Eagle or even NATO Tiger Meet, this will be the PAF version where Airforces from friendly countries will be invited for training and exercises on a large scale....

Sounds like PAF is creating its own Top Gun school.

We already have that in the Combat Commander School.

Apart from obvious pilot training, with a new born aviation industry, in the country, such establishments become inevitable to push the own aircraft to its limits to monitor where it can be improved. This will not only expand the operational planning scope of air commanders but would also tell aeronautical high-ups about technical requirements in aircraft, sams, force multipliers etc. so that better acquisition and upgrading decision can be made.

Why spend $$$ for exercises abroad when you can do it at home. hopefully the standards will be high.

Potential visitors could be ME airforces, Turkey, China, US, Russia.
