PAF participates in "Red Flag" and "Green Flag"

Mr IK, I have had confirmation from current serving PAF officers, there is no reason to put them on display, but there will be subsequent pictures of our new block 52's with Amraam's shortly

We are all waiting for that day...
 
This is good news regarding the transformation of Pakistan into a proud military nation. Research and technology are two inseparable elements in a movement that inevitably spearheads the country into the skies above!
 
PAF is flying interdiction mission, so we dont need missiles anywayy...

:disagree:
Most aircraft that fly actual interdiction mission carry at least two missiles for self defence, In most cases.. aircraft from the USAF and friendly AF's flying interdiction's at red flag carry two AMRAAM's or sidewinders to simulate a realistic load on the jet...although this has been omitted during recent years.

An F-16 from the Pakistan Air Force receives fuel from a KC-135 during a Red Flag 10-4 mission July 21, 2010. Red Flag is a realistic combat training exercise involving the air forces of the United States and its allies. The exercise is hosted north of Las Vegas on the Nevada Test and Training Range--the U.S. Air Force's premier military training area with more than 12,000 square miles of airspace and 2.9 million acres of land. With 1,900 possible targets, realistic threat systems and an opposing enemy force that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world, Nellis and the NTTR are the home of a "peacetime battlefield," providing combat air forces with the ability to train to fly, fight and win together.

Razrig,

Interdiction means you have to defend yourself against red air when carrying out interdiction. All aircraft in interdiction roles have to be ready to fight in and out of their missions. The loadout at RF for such roles is a AIM-9 training round on one wing and an ACMI pod on the other wing.
 
F-16's refueling umm sounds good.. we need a refuelier for our f-16's atleast 2

Has PAF actually got the capabiltiy of refuelling their F-16 blk 50+? As I understand it they are refuelled the the boom method and the PAF don't operate any of these a/c to refuel in this way. My understanding is that the only way to refuel F-16s to refuel using PAF compatible progue tankers has been developed by India! and i doubt Pakistan is high on their list for possible customers! :rofl:

You are correct - PAF does not operate any refueler with the boom method.The PAF Tankgers Compatible Progue has been developed by Lockheed Martin not India which can be installed on F-16's.But that requires modification in every F16.
PAF Options are
Negotiate with US for KC-10 or KC-135.
Airbus refueler which have both systems.
Or get a kit from Boeing and convert one of the older's Boeing in service with PIA into refueler.
