PAF All Combat Squadrons and their air crafts

[LKJ86]

Perhaps PAF airforce is more keen to focus on the Azm Project but lets see I do see China owning two planes would in small numbers could serve PAF well

J10C is , from armnament and technology prespective is advance plane compared to F7PG

Also JH-7 would be a great short term aquisition

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I am a big fan of J10C , and the info you shared only shows the J10B platform has become even more enhanced with larger digital Display

It is truely a great compliment to the JF17 platform we have

However with Pakistan we always tend to do things 4-5 years too late , instead of having 36-40 brand new J10B models in 2014, we did not purchased it wasted time chasing F16.

I would like to say our decision makers would have learned a lesson but I know it won't happen easily

I think a User on board , @MastanKhan has expressed his frustration many time about obvious flaws in ordering stuff on time

29 Squadron "Aggressors" fields F-16A MLU and 2 F-16B MLU Aircraft, taken from Griffins No.9 Squadron, which were earlier used at CCS. Main purpose is point air defence.

PAF has created two new units known as ACE (Air Combat Centre of Excellence) and TDS (Tactics Development School).

Now ACE has become the umbrella under which TDS, CCS and No.28 Squadron are operating.

The aim of the PAF is to bring No.29 squadron on par with 65th Aggressor squadron which is USAF equivalent. So from now on, ACE will be a certification for the top F-16 pilots.

So at Sargodha AFB we currently have;

Base Commander Sargodha (Air Commodore)
Commandant ACE (Air Commodore)
OC Flying Wing (Gp Capt)
OC CCS (Gp Capt)
OC TDS (Gp Capt)
OC 9 (Wg Cmdr)
OC 29 (Wg Cmdr)

and other squadrons such as dashings etc.

 

[Humble Analyst]

Navy camt afford either ..everything has been on credit
PAF is paying much more on previous loans and new credit..navy procurement is trivial compared to that
A single sq of JF-17 costs more than a destroyer


No a bright idea
Instead 4-5 typhoons better to get another 100 block3

I believe he is referring to used EF tranche 1

I believe you meant 29th there above in first few lines (28ths are the phoenix).

So what about arrows, aren't they based at sargodha?

Oh yes 29th. I have made the correction.

Arrows has been shifted to Shahbaz AFB, Jaccoabad.

Wow,we have strengthened the southern front. With 11,5 and 19 there i.e like 49 F-16s in south (assuming 18x AC each for first 2 sqs and 13X for the later). That leaves 27 AC for the north (for griffins and the CCS/Aggressors).

I guess the thunders have gradually replaced F-16s in the north. However, we need to add a squadron or two of used/new F-16s preferably upgraded to V (when funds are available) just to be safe considering the future rafale threat. Either that or add more Block 3s when ready.

Nothing to do with north south west, east ....
war time / escalation time deployment are very different then peace time and sqn assignment /positioning are constantly changed during those time as well [emoji6]
