Nice. Have to say they have a potent air force.

Pretty much all Gulf countries have.

Dont the US put severe restrictions on this kind of thing ?

Nope - the restrictions would be PAF pilots on detachments to fly the aircraft routinely without approval.

Exercises, backseat familiarization flights and so on are routine and really nothing that can be stopped.

Same reason PAF regularly flies with a Rafale customer - does mock BVR and WVR practice with them and gets some informal briefings on its capabilities. The French come in angry and say “you will NOT do this again” to the host country.. they say “Ok”… wait a few weeks and its back to usual

On Indian forums, according to them, apparently their Rafale has capabilities far exceeding other Rafales in any other air force, capable of defeating the J-20 and having the most powerful EW system.

Let them build it first . Tfx is 20 years away. Azam will most likely show up before that

Turks are like brothers . But without engine you will end up in another atak scenario
Turks are building their first jet they will take decades to get anything meaningful out
This pro American posturing will end in November after retirement package is secured

So so so so ooo negative

They’re just the most stupidly nationalist people I have encountered in my entire life and I see dumb Pakistanis, Chinese and Americans but nothing beats the Indian on a nationalist rhetoric trip.

P.S. Pakistani pilots have sat in on Israeli briefings on anti BVR tactics against modern Russian and European missiles. They just didn’t wear the flag then.

shame they couldn’t make it to Zhuhai this year. Once the blasted COVID thing is over hopefully JF-17 and maybe J-10C could perform.

They went for a first time appearance to the Bahrain International Air Show instead. They've done their share of displays at Zhuhai.

No samosa was a no show this year?

Who cares. It is important that PAF participated, that's what matters. No need for useless brownie points to bring in IAF into the picture.

But then all the hype deflates it really break heart.
