Saudi Arabia, Middle East allies to participate in PAF counterterror exercise

[FuturePAF]

I was referring to TS due to the use of that smile it seemed like he was throwing a shade

Let’s not read too much into it, and let actions speak for themselves. Their here for an exercise, let’s hope for a successful experience for both sides.

Its already a running Topic for over a week.
Saudi Arabia, Middle East allies to participate in PAF counterterror exercise

If its relating to Pakistan Air Force, so it'll be in the Pakistan Air Force thread.

Americans seem to be in town but still no word what equipment did they bring for exercise.

Judging from the patch my guess is going to be F16 from their end, though i could be wrong

That was my guess but in the group photo, the American Officer seems to be wearing Marines uniform.
Just wondering if they might bring Hornets from Afghanistan.

That looked like Army camo I think. Plus one of the American officers had ranks on his flight suit, either USAF or US Navy.

Marines do not wear ranks on their flight suits. And I think no Marine Hornets are based in Afghanistan these days, although I could be mistaken about that. VMFA squadrons flew their last legacy Hornets last month, as for VMFA(AW) squadrons....not sure if they are in Afghanistan on deployment.

In all honesty could be any of their services, USAF use multicam camo too, and as someone pointed out all services wear light brown flight suits in the CENTCOM region of operations.

I suspect it will be USAF. The PAF/USAF relationship is very close, and we have little or no history of operating with the Marines.

I am guessing it will be F-15E/F-16Cs out of either Al Dhafra, UAE or Al Udeid, Qatar, unlikely they would spare any signficant numbers out of Kabu

You are very ignorant, only 3 years back Saudi Tornados went through a massive upgrade, these jets are younger then our F-16s
