Discussion: Pros and Cons of basing a PAF fighter squadron at Skardu Airbase permanently?

Necessary for war time readiness but costly given the geographic and might not be operational during winters. Land approach mostly cut off during winter and PAF will have to spend more than usual to maintain operational readiness however, the point has important role for the North covering given the geographic location.

Given the terrain, there is the potential for large underground tunnels/storage/rooms. As long as appropriate climate control technology is present (we could ask the Chinese for some), it should be fine.

Land approach is okay during winters. Only issue is whether we need a permanent base there and whether we could afford it. To be honest, Skardu is offset by three and possibly four enemy airbases.
