Block 2
No tension

While a single crash of any type shouldn't necessarily be tension inducing, why should the fact that it was a Block 2 and not Block 3 be a reason to not have tension?

If anything, it may point to possible issues with older Block 1 and Block 2 fighters that may see more and more issues with their airframe structure or their RD-93 engines. Of course, too early to tell without knowing what the reason for the crash was.

But since the PAF is keeping quiet on this and didn't even announce that a JF-17 had crashed, I wouldn't expect the reason for this crash to ever come out.

Simple - Tired of hiding it.

Accidents do promote a negative image from a sales perspective.

previously also, they never accepted openly about Jf17 crash.

Indians on this forum are more desperate about this crash than a teenage girl in her PMS
Atleast Indian does not hide the incident.

Su 30 was crashed, no one tried to hide.

It is a common mentality - if someone hiding then it creates more interest of other people to exploit them.

If they just stated the facts and accepted, no one was having internet to post here anything including me

The circus that’s the pal military establishment is only good at imposing brutality on its own citizens and hiding its failures. When ppl rightfully said that it was a cover up we were labelled morons. The same morons believed a random PAF pilot decided to take a rescue vest and get high in his g-suit in the middle of nowhere
Illiterate mulk

Got to agree with you on this one

PAF always maintained higher standards as compared to its opponents

It should maintain same standards in transparency as well

Sounds like you know very well how it is to be one of those teenage girls suffering from PMS.

Whatever

Abhinandan still didn't shoot down any F16. Period

Luckily for ISPR and you that F16 doesnt use MB seats but American one.
So ISPR syndicate wont let you "civilians" know the reality. Period.

As you said a single crash of a block that's been flying around for more than a decade is hardly an issue
