Great ambassador for PAF and Pakistan. There will now be a lot of foreign air forces interested in PAF perspective on how we fought in May

Trumpeter must have a crystal ball
They released images of this kit before the May war & mind blowingly, not only does it show The J10c shooting down a Ra-fail on the box, if u look carefully at the decals, they’ve even included Ra-fail, Su-30 and Mig 29, drone kill markings for the J10c. First time I’ve also seen them put 2 different models in the same box!!

The bringing back the tie with SD has basically destroyed the grace of the SD uniform.
Now they look more like waiters then any thing else.
Sidhu sb plz loose the tie n go back to the ban collar jacket SD.
As ur latest take on the SD uniform is bloody disgraceful and down right clownish

Not just that, shirt sizes are all over the place and drill is poor, this is from the "honour guard" at PAF HQ.
Unsure why Navy and Army do this much better

i was in the CMH Pindi a few days ago at the pharmacy in the basement.
A few PAF officers were wearing their field uniform, the woodland digital.
All their "shirts" were big and looked out of place—more like they were wearing frocks.
Couldn't help but smile at their predicament.

Yeah, I think Navy and Army are much older institutions, much greater emphasis on turn out. I have two relatives (both former officers), when they were serving I do remember shoes not being that shiny and often creased shirts. I am a civilian so have no right to comment on an officers turn out at all, but when you compared them to Army even out shopping in 'Pindi, it was a stark contrast. Like PAF wears a military uniform as clothing, not wears it as a sign of pride of service.
Again though, they let their actions speak louder in combat. IAF seem better turned out on parade but when it comes to the fight, guess the guys with creased shirts new what they were doing....

43 million for just PAF F-16s or all the ones that are mentioned?
Plus, what does it include in terms of sustainment? Any new hardware or just spares and refurbishment?

Package covers several countrues, do not even think it is spares as the contract for those would go to Lockheed.
This is for more "soft" stuff like manuals, software, research, IT securirty etc
