Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

L-139/159 is also a candidate.
I really actually like the PC-21 as a candidate for LIFT as well. It can actually replace the K-8 even as its performance is actually on par with it.

The real purpose for a LIFT is not performance (speed of the jet etc) but actually helping pilots transition from a basic aircraft like the Mushshak/K-8 to more complicated jets that have a full fidelity avionics and stores management suites to replicate all the functions of the new advanced fighters that the airforce has in order to prepare the pilots before they get to their OCU squadrons. That means onboard avionics that allow all the functionalities of a new generation fighter but with a flight regime and handling that is much more forgiving.

L139 is alot cheaper than Hawk T50 and M340 and no issue from czech Republic.

I think though it is far less expensive, the M346 could be looked at as part of a package deal with Italy.

It can be packaged with CAMM-ER for PAF and PN and Grifo-E on the block 3 if european weapons like Meteor and IRIS-T can be sourced. Get KLJ-7a or LKF-601E) for the block 1 and 2) along with PL-15/PL-10.

IF European weapons cant be sourced then get the chinese package for block 3 but get the M346 along with CAMM-ER and maybe Britecloud DRFM for JF17. Basically use Leonardo as a diplomatic in with Italy, which, has far more to offer Pakistan from a technological level than Czechs ever could... And they are somewhat in need of cash and have had good dealings with Pakistan (Spada 2000, Grifo M, Grifo-7, and Seaspray 7300E). Leonardo even has opened offices in Pakistan. They will likely be willing to invest in local industry as well.

An unfortunate loss. Sadly we may never know what really happened. Sincerest condolences to their families in this difficult time and may Allah give them patience...

that's how the corrupt politicians lead to a poor economy and adversely affects the military capability as well. paf is forced to fly 50 year old junk today as the government is unable to provide for them newer more capable platforms against an enemy which is spending billions on its military. if we look at the top 15 air powers of the world we will find PAF to be flying the most outdated air crafts. even other muslim countries like turkey, saudi arabia, egypt, UAE and Qatar have better air crafts in their inventory. we are mainly relying on 76 F-16s out of which only 18 are new and about 110 JFTs, an air craft still not at par with F-16, mirage 2000, F-15, rafale etc. as the world is going towards the fifth gen jets it seems PAF will be more handicapped but unfortuantely who cares in this country.

PAF jet crashes near Shorkot, pilot safe
Web Desk On Feb 7, 2020
JHANG: A trainer jet of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) crashed near Shorkot, district Jhang of Punjab, said PAF spokesperson on Friday.

The Mirage jet was on a training mission, when it crashed near Shorkot, Jhang. The pilot of the aircraft remained safe, while no human or financial loss was reported.

Meanwhile, the Air Headquarters has constituted a committee to find out the causes behind the jet crash incident.

Back in year 2018, a trainer aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had crashed while landing at the Peshawar Air Base, killing two pilots.

According to a PAF spokesperson, the aircraft crashed when it was returning from a routine training mission. Two pilots of the aircraft were martyred in the accident.

“Pakistan Air Force reports with regret that a PAF FT-7PG trainer aircraft, while recovering from a routine operational training mission, crashed during landing at Peshawar Air Base,” a statement issued by the PAF had said and added “Rescue operation is in progress.”

Good news is that pilot is safe. However loss of machine really warrants to avoid these incidents anymore. Undoubtedly, platform ageing but we have limitations. I will request everyone in advance to not to come up with ideas of new platform, this & that please.

Poverty...., has forced has to make our boys fly these birds (not saying new aircrafts cannot crash). Glad to know pilot is safe.
