No. 18 or No. 20 squadron.
I'm not sure whats the utility for PAF of such an investment. However, the idea sounds attractive.
It is not a hard and fast rule to replace an entire squadron of oldest fighters.
Peshawar and Quetta will get rid of F-7s altogether.
The displaced F-7s will join the existing squadrons at Mianwali. No. 18 and No 20.
There is a fair chance that No. 18. will retire the oldest F-7P's and retain some frames with lower hours.
Lastly, No.2 squadron is to be expanded. it is set to become the largest squadron of PAF as far as.I remember someone mentioning. The workload is simply too much and it might boast a strength of 30-35 jets in 2 years.
Why increase strength of No. 2 and not replace the maritime sqn mirages. Exocet stock can be sent to PN for use with Sea Kings.
