[blinder]

Please find enclosed an article on the K-8 in Scramble (in separate parts).

There are a lot of assumptions (coloured red) but it is an overview of most information available in public sources, packed into one space.

Far longer than you and l would like. Remember just got ~35 tweets donated by TuAF recently, which will probably used for spares.

No. Just got the fleet upgraded in the last few years.

I would've preferred the Sherdils to be equipped with the JF-17. It is a more powerful jet and is more strongly associated with Pakistan so it carries great symbolism.

But the K-8 Karakoram is a lovely plane too and an asset for the force.

JF-17 has more expense per sortie than k-8 moreover SHERDILS are k-8 operators so...!
