Big deal, PAF Air chief is a qualified fighter pilot and has flown all PAF front line aircraft, I believe due to some vision issues, he's not allowed to fly solo anymore but unlike the Indian air chief's one off stunt, the PAF leader participates regularly including in some combat missions. He even checked out on EF Typhoon.

Apart from that, Mirages are also ideal platform for Durandal / HAFR weapons and often display their ability in low level strikes using retarded type bombs'Mirage's are the most deadliest deep strike aircraft in PAF arsenal.
The main question is ,Does Pakistan use ALCM on f-16s or JF-17s ? I find that question difficult to answer but not so much when you talk about Mirage, correct me If I'm wrong but I think Mirage has its own advantages as compared to other jets ,Care to point them out?
In my opinion anyway ,ALCM is only limited to the mirages because F-16s and Jf-17s are stretched thin against a numerical superior enemy so it makes sense that we're using them in the kargil /kashmir sector ,Its brilliant tactics in my opinion.
These mirages will wreak havoc on the enemy ,the guy making fun of them will eat his own words if a war or any escalation breaks out.
Supported by AWACS ,these will be the first aircrafts to take bombing missions against vital installations like Forward operating bases of their air-force,Communication lines etc.
Indians should fear this picture above more than they fear him flying the 60s jet ,lol.
No it isn't a vision problem. He hasn't been current in flying. Otherwise there were previous air chiefs who maintained their currency in one platform at least. In the case of IAF Air Chief, if he flew the MiG-21 solo, then that is great for him.
Even our army chief flew in an F-16.....for these folks it's just a little more than a normal flight....they are hardly put through any high-g paces .
MiG-21 is one of the most stable platforms ever, I've been told my numerous test pilots that it is very straightforward to fly.
Never heard of a TURBO PORP....
NO, your president flew in a normal flight, if you look at the video, the Airchief had to endure all the High-g forces that any fighter pilot would go through.... get the facts right.
There's Turboprop but no TURBO PORP....as you put it.
when the chief of an airforce himself flys fighters and leads men the way this chief does be sure we will all follow.no need to speculate. we are in good hands inshallah
