Nope he was there, as he was at my family's place in Bahrain.


Nope. It was other stuff and try to improve relations. Bahrain for now gets exchange programs from UAE and USA to fly with in their Viper squadrons.

What Air Cheif can do for better relationships?? When our expertise not required??? Still kahlifa family regards Pak thanks to them

Yaar wo ghareeb phir akeela itni door say Pakistan aiy ga???

Challo, aap kay khatir ees ko bul-walaytay hain ...

Bahrain getting blk 72 may be that reason?? May require some man power or IP??

It is usually less related to front line fighters especially US made jets.

I heard exchange pilot training and Mushak's were the major subject.

Great News...Any news on Air Chief Flying 2 x Seat JF17 at start of parade?

No news from my side. It is an interesting thought though.

Will try to find out.

Another great image of a PAF JF-17 made by Zohaib Malik.
Noteworthy is the ASELPOD targeting pod and two LGBs. https://t.co/WkCvD5xYMA

Very nice. Looking at the size of that pod, wonder if it would be able to fit under the intake pylon.

PAF donates 500,000 face masks to AVIC.

F-16 IPs were discussed. Bahrain is also starting to send their own pilots to the US for Block 70 conversion soon. Mushaks were discussed before during their visit to PAC Kamra a few years ago. This time discussion was for enhancing Bahrain's training wing.

It's a milestone then because US denied Turkey PAF IP's back in 2016.

We have 2 ex-PAF IPs there. Turkey was a special case, as it involved Block 50+ jets.

How much different are the Turkish Block 50+ relative to out block 52s apart from engine (IIRC).

The differences may not be much, but if they have various agreements on their contract then those have to be respected and met.

Don't know much about PAF vipers but, afaik HVKK F-16s are open for modification by TAI, strictly limited for the integration of national munitions/suites such as SOM family, precision guided ordnance, Peregrine IR and Merlin BVR AA missiles, SPEWS-II ew suite, and a new ew pod under development by Aselsan along with the AESA radar for F-16.

But I think your answer lies in the upgrades offered by the CCIP and how it differs from PAF specific Block 52. I know nothing about it, hence nothing to share . Would be great if TAI and Pakistan worked for AESA radars for PAF vipers as well.

There is a big elephant in the room aka The USA. Who is very likely to stop such a venture.
