Strange load out of 4 Aim-9. Can’t the ADF carry Aim-120?

Is any other Squadron going to deploy in Bholari or Sq 19 will remain the sole player?

In the future hopefully yes..

I think it was discussed in this same thread

That's the main reason I uploaded this picture, I am not sure myself if they can carry Aim120 or not..

Beside Viper upgrade
what is the alternative upgrades option for PAF's F-16?

Nice shot. But that ain't no Nellis. Not even close, maybe Sargodha. Maybe Shaw AFB equivalent.

I think there was or is supposed to be a JF-17 squadron there

I just posted what some people call it (not specifically because of what it hosts)

Some say it's supposed to host a Mirage squadron but there's only No. 19 for now..

No, with CCS, all types of fighters and Air Warfare Centre I can assure you Mushaf AFB is Pakistan's version of Nellis.

ADFs are capable of firing AMRAMS. So dontcunderstand why this is being debated. I understand the picture shows them with AIM 9 missilies but all date and open sources suggest they can fire AMRAAMS.

I agree with you but as I mentioned the name has nothing to do with deployments, maybe because of its location/geography or maybe in future it will host some serious stuff? Idk I didn't give it this name but it sure does gets mentioned in some circles..

Yeah but never proved with a picture,at least I have never seen any

I have a feeling our AIM-120Cs are not compatible with the ADFs fire control system. If someone has a picture of PAF ADF's with AMRAAM do share because I don't think I've seen them.

Umm I raised this point because I have previously said the same thing on this forum: ADF can fire AMRAAM. They were designed to carry 6 BVR missiles for Air National Guard. But..its questionable if they can fire the AIM-120C due to the old radar. I have yet to see a PAF ADF with an AIM-120C.

A fighter squadron from Masroor is to be transferred to Bholari shortly.

I was under the impression Masroor didn't have F-16s. Bholari already has F-16s.

Minhasians? Aren't the fighter sqns in Karachi are specialized on sea operations?

Ah, OK, yes that makes sense

I hope they aren’t Minhasians, hopefully bandits
