It seems our good friends from across the border have been tuning in on Radio Pakistan and have all updates of the ACM visit to Skardu.

Guess, this press release adds more fuel to the fire of the possibly, new inductions.

Regarding the base, it's extremely important in strategic terms. Whenever I see visuals of the base, always hope that with all the surrounding mountains around the base, that there is adequate SSW presence/lookout infrastructure to ward off any malicious intentions.

I do not think the CAS is alluding to platform inductions if members are thinking that. That will come at the right time as per the force modernization plans and not rushed simply because the Indians have inducted Rafale. We have to keep in mind the MMRCA saga has been going on for about 20 years now and the PAF has a good understanding of what types of capabilities the IAF has been planning to induct. As such this will not rush PAF to 5th gen etc.

The key focus is on avionics and weapons capability enhancements within existing systems. I think the PAF can do more to maximize this aspect and we will have a pretty robust defensive capability even in the face of Rafale induction.

What about the impact of surrounding mountains? KT wrote in his blog on Kargil, that during that conflict, an emergency radar station was established at Deosai plain for monitoring IAF.

Exactly, that is a Giraffe radar. In our army, its deployed normally alongside one of our SAM systems whereby this radar provides target data.
