PAF and TurAF have established deep rooted brotherly relations based on mutual respect and friendship.
Both have cooperated in fields of military expertise, training & technology.


One such example was volunteering by PAF for sending its pilots to Turkiye after the 2016 Coup.

In the Omar versus Mohsin boxing match - it does look like Omar was the better "boxer" and won the rounds and the fight overall !!!

Is this IAF's slide or prepared someone in Pakistan? Looks very amateurish.

The best of PAF aircrew undergo rigourous training at Flight Instructor School in Risalpur before they are handed over the prestigious instructorship. These men then train one of the most refined & resolute fighter pilots in the world.

Pakistan should have gone for f20 with full tot and ownership of the design in mid 80s.

Pakistan should have gone for f20 with full tot and ownership of the design in mid 80s.

Unfortunately the outcome would have been no different than what happened with the F-16 and soybean saga. Instead of the F-16s, it would have been the F-20s and soybean.

JF-17 program remains the most prudent thing to have happened for Pakistan Air Force. Hopefully the same focus and single-minded effort is being applied to what is to come next.
