PAF F-16s to take part in Exercise Anatolian Phoenix 2019

Finally, we'll get some new footage.

CORRECTION: ...i'll get some new footage (to work on).

I truly hope the PAF comes out of the stone ages & equips some of our fighters with GoPro.

Its not like they would have to show 'confidential' footage, because a lot of AirForces around the World do it. But, it can be used for Promotional Videos. I'm so sick of the old stuff.
 
I'm wondering when our next invite to Red Flag is gonna be.
 
But Abhinandan will destroy Pakistani F-16 without firing missiles.

PAF is not conducting high mark this year

Funds have been allocated to different exercises/projects/operations.

Exercises cost a lot of money. First and foremost the vipers have to conduct a 3 day training in gulf for mid air refueling. It costs. Usually RSAF facilitates it. On a second level there are fuel, parking, accommodation, maintenance and auxiliary costs associated. Hence before embarking upon Anatolian Phoenix. This has to be done.

The most expensive exercise for PAF is the Red Flag. We get the invitation twice an year but we avail it once or twice in a decade at most.

Money talks. Pay your taxes gentlemen.
 
#9 Squadron, again?!! These dudes go everywhere...

Q. Why don't we ever send the JF-17's to Turkey for these exercises?

Its been there for Air Shows in the past. And in times like these, we need to have all our heavy weight fighters (F-16's) available. We have twice the number of JF-17 & its Pilots should get equal treatment.

They do participate in Gulf Shield, Shaheen series extensively.

F-16s are seldom used in multinational exercises. When US come to Pakistan we attach viper squadrons on purpose. Due to fleet commonality and greater learning curve.

I thought Gulf Shield took place once, a couple of years back. And Shaheen is own thing - so i'm not counting that.
