Killmark dragons for Iranians
Killmark f-16s for Americans

 

[Corax]

Why would there be a need for an escort mission? The israelis have agreed to the ceasefire with Iran, and given the Americans are travelling to Pakistan to talk with the Iranian delegation, I don't think the israelis would do anything.

Never take the Israelis for their word

But that was against hezbollah people, it's completely different in this case, it's Iranians that the US has agreed to meet. As much as the israelis are the Americans' mad dog on a leash, I don't think they'd interfere where the US is directly involved.

Breaking news F-35 Adir downed by PAF.

Just IN: Pakistani fighter jets spotted over Bandar Abbas, Iran, to escort the Iranian delegation to Pakistan safely. —

Pakistan Air Force has established a "protective shield" across Iran and Persian Gulf supported by fighter jets & AWACS to protect Iranian delegation from any misadventure by Israel. —

The Iranian delegation, likely led by speaker of Iran's parliament, will arrive in Islamabad tonight for talks with US.

I'd question the source of this information.

What will our AWACS and fighters do in the face of a determined attack by stealth fighters?

I think people are hyping up something which is not factual. If there was such a "military threat", the entire basis of "peace talks" would be in question because even a basic trust factor is not established.

Talks cannot be had in an environment where Iranians cannot even travel to a neutral country safely. Why would Americans waste their time coming to Pakistan if there was suspicion of violence by one of the parties against an Iranian peace delegation?

Taking precautions is all fine, but PAF having to extend an air corridor inside of Iran seems highly unlikely.

Fair, but even if there is a small risk, measures need to be taken, as we know, cannot trist anyone

True that risk does exist, but why would Americans invest in flying all the way out to Pakistan if the other side is to be targeted for elimination by their proxy in the ME?

Dude We give escort to every important guest part of the protocol

That is massive assumption that US can totally control Israel.....

I think they have significant control. As an example, if the Americans just stand-down their refuellers, IDF fighters cannot operate over Iran and then return to their bases safely.

I agree with the point that all precautions should be taken, but I think when off-ramps are being considered for talks, some trust around safety of delegations has to be a non-starter. I think it applies here too but Pakistan will do what it can to ensure.

This is more a hype account that exaggerates information based on rumours, I don't think it is true. It's of course good to be proud of the Air Force's achievements but we must remain realistic and humble, that far extended combat operations are extremely unlikely nor have we trained for that theatre, let alone against American stealth platforms a generation ahead.

The truth is we don't know what's going on, but transports and tankers are in Saudi. It may be to help them repel drone threats or even deploy some active troops.

 

[Blain2]

Factually, wasn't a F-35 hit by a IR guided missile over Iran?

Point is, what are so many transport/refuelers doing in Saudi just before the arrival of Iranian delegation?

no exercise is scheduled in Saudi involving PAF.

Also, UAE is a new vile threat in the region, if you haven't noticed, they are damn pissed and bitchy about ceasefire. They are Israeli and Indian stooges.

For GCC cooperation, Pakistan went via Saudis. Kuwaitis, Qataris and Saudis have returned the honor. Emiratis haven't.

The IFRs are our Multirole Transport Tankers. In all likelihood, they are delivering air defense hardware to KSA just to bolster the Kingdom's defensive posture in case, God forbid, the peace talks don't up in an off-ramp.

Why do they need our hardware? Do they lack in anything?
