Doubt it. PAF has put its faith in simulators and block B for basic conversion.

Everything from Mi-17 overhauls to EW systems is up with them. But unfortunately the first reaction people have is “Koi jahaaz aaraha hai”
Czech Republic has nothing to offer except trainer jets along small arms which PAF doesn't need

No 9 Multi-Role Sqn "Griffins", one of the oldest Sqns of PAF was established on 13 Nov, 1943. Pakistan’s Def Minister Mir Ali Ahmed Khan Talpur visited No 9 Squadron on 25 Jan, 1979 to award the colour to the Sqn. for its meritorious services in war and peace.
The Sqn earned 3 gallantry awards & 3 kills during 1965 war. Whereas in the 1971 war, the Sqn bagged 2 gallantry awards after being credited for 07 kills against IAF. Besides this, the Sqn is also credited with shooting down of 02 Russian aircraft during the Afghan War. The Sqn crest depicts Griffin - a mythical creature with an eagle's head and wings and a lion's body signifying immeasurable strength, aggressiveness and vigilance.

First time I have seen our Air chief moving. Normally he is very statuesque. I hope he is much better administrator and Strategist than what he appears to be.

"the Government to modernize PAF as a Next Generation Air Force. He duly acknowledged PAF's role in providing an impregnable defence of the country while living up to the Quaid's vision of being an Air Force *Second to None.*"
What exactly is being said here? No more 4th generation aircraft. The PAF would need a sizeable 5th generation fleet in the 2030s. It should number around 100....

Seems like preparations before PM's visit to China. COAS met as well and so all other Chiefs of Services. This is how the visit has to be fruitful from all aspects like Military to Economy to Diplomacy.
Not the no more but progress to be made in regard to future/decade to come. You start today and so you can achieve goals per targeted time line. It is said the ground work is already done and much of study/cooperation/MOUs are there being signed with friendly/brotherly country. The next step is to pave way with practical & on ground activity to make it reality.
