The Somalian Air Force Chief visited Pak AF Commander, ACM Mujahid Anwar Khan today. Looks like #JF-17 was on the agenda, and the #C802A anti-shipping missile, judging from small model. Could be bad news for pirates, smugglers and militants in waters off of Somalia's coast! https://t.co/xnASf6GBIi

Sir jee .
Would they use a C802 for small pirate boats? Surely there would be smaller calibre weapons that could be used.

These pirates usually have hostages, money, large cache of drugs and weapons that are to be traced back to the origin. Hence such anti ship missiles are never a weapon of choice. Missiles like C802/Harpoon are best fit for military targets such as frigates, submarines, minesweepers.

Rocket attacks are best suited for anti piracy ops only if things can nasty and pirates return fire with alot of firepower.

AHQ sent a request to Turkey for Solo Turk for the eve of the 23rd March parade.

It has been accepted and Solo Turk is coming to Pakistan in a week's time. :bounce:

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

3 jets for that high price?

Hi,

It would be a total package for those aircraft---not just the aircraft---.

As for the RD93---.

Why fix something that is not broken---.

It is available

It is operational

It is reliable

No incident reported of engine failures

No report of high maintenance issues

One day we will be surprised at the number of hours put on these engines by the Paf and people will say " whaaat "

It has enough power for the job---thrust to weight ratio is as desired

It has a very quick spool up time ( the most important thing in a fighter aircraft engine )

Techs are well trained on this power plant

RD93 is to air force as the G3 is to the army.

PSO was at home he was their with Sectary to CAS
Nope he was there, as he was at my family's place in Bahrain.

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