While I don’t agree with the “greatest airchief” since the PAF has great chiefs in the past. At the end the retd ACM still led the PAF through what was a time where all out conflict was almost a few minutes away and kept the enemy deterred.

That really is all it is to the enemy as a message - sure, you may win but we’ll take you down with us.. and you have a lot, LOT more to lose and your fear of loss is much more than Pakistan’s.

Agreed.

And while it looks cool and may have significant logistical advantages, I just think certain things (for both symbolic and practical reasons) don't belong in a third world country like ours --- like a send off in a private PAF jet. I know it's not the end of the world, but I think the small things matter.
