Inter Squadron Armament Competition 2019

[airomerix]

Nouman is OC of 9 sqn now.

Top Gun is with 11 sqn for 2nd time in a row
Sher afghan is with OC 9 sqn.

Maybe.

However, since he has served in 11 squadron as Flt Cmdr aswell. Wg Cdr Noman chose to take part in ISAC on behalf of No. 11 sqn.

You get a choice to participate on behalf of the either squadron you have served with for exercises like ISAC.

Lol, while being the OC of No 9, W/C Noman decides to represent No 11.....how strange.

The Inter Squadron Armament Competition 2019 of the Pakistani Air Force just came to an end and the winners are the Arrow's Falcons again! The best individual score was obtained by WC Noman Akram, OC of the Griffins Squadron awarding him the Sherafgan Trophy.

Congratulations to the winning bodies and we wish them luck for the never ending task of safeguarding our skies .

No, its doesn't work like that.

If Block 52+ is most advanced than why it didn't won the competition? Does that mean they don't have quality pilots?

Has happened numerous times before. Same aircraft type but the pilot gets attached to a squadron for an exercise. Quite some time some No. 14 individuals got attached to No. 16 sqn for a few weeks, that's just one example.

According to the source of this picture, this is the ride of the OC No 9 squadron. ISAC 2019

 

[airomerix]

No, its doesn't work like that.

I would suggest you to enquire this with someone you personally know in uniform.

Those who know, know.

This is one of the reasons why we often see Wg Cmdr Noman Ali Khan hopping in n out between No. 5 and No.29 squadron.

I did and that's why I'm telling you.

This patch came out 2 years ago. It does not relate to ISAC 2019 except they still hold the titile.

Just saying.

How do we explain 26 sqn pilots at Anatolian Eagle were apparently 28 Sqn went?

Can you tell me why Blk 52+ didnt won the competition? Arent they the most advanced we have?

A2G capability and its operational parameters of Block 15 and Block 52's are somewhat similar. Not much difference except Block 52's are harder to jam. They see farther and they have extended range. Some differences in weapons are there such as block 52's carry variety of stand off weapons. anti radiation missiles etc.

Where as ISAC leverages current capabilities and tactics currently employed by PAF in areas of strafing, LGB's, TV guided weapons etc. Hence the gap in the capability is not that much between the two fighters with regards to ISAC.

In exercises like Green flag which is very electronic warfare centric, Block 52's will find it easier to survive as compared to Block 15 MLU's.

 

[aliyusuf]

They see farther

Can you kindly elaborate how they can see farther than an MLU-ed F-16 of the PAF? Both have the same Northrop Grumman APG-68(V)9 radar?

11 sqn also fields a lot of operational IPs. Higher chance of having better scores.

It's no brainer that the competition concluded just a day or so earlier so the new winners patch with ISAC 2019 logo will come out in due course.....however the bottom line is they remain the Top Gun unit.

Is that because it's the F-16 OCU.
