Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions

In all honesty, PAF has stopped media access to PAC. If you have noticed there was no show from PAC this year even on Air Force Day. Then sending own Thunders to Azerbaijan for victory day fly pass when their own were ready. Too many confusing things happening or I have gotten really old now.

Not confusing bro. Either of the following two cases must be true.
1. Hand over the newly produced planes to Azerbaijan air force in Pakistan and their pilots fly them to their country with stop overs along the way.
2. Pakistani pilots fly the planes to Azerbaijan in Pakistani colors and then hand them over to Azerbaijan after changing the country colors/flag. Pak uses its arial refuelers during the flight.

It seems to be the latter case. New planes and delivered to Azerbaijan in Baku.

Dubai air show is a real opportunity for us to ride the momentum of May skirmish and Azeri order.

Be great if we could close deals with countries that we may have talked to about JF-17.

Iraq was mentioned a bit in the past. Sri Lanka, Malaysia and one or two African nations. Not sure how strong interest was though, but for sure after May people will be taking JF-17 seriously. Especially countries that may face a S-400 threat

tbh as Ukraine has show few cheap drones can take out S400 , its not feared any more

S-400 is still very serious system, if you do not know where it is, it can take you out quickly. What Pakistan and Ukraine got right was locating S-400. Once you know location, taking it out is relatively easy. Ukraine has US/NATO Sat/ISR help, we had Chinese help.

Without this flying blind against S-400 is suicide

I don't know if it's true but I remember reading on the old forum that Sri Lanka dropping the deal due to Indian pressure

To be honest, I've never understood why people are so enthusiastic about the S-400. Its 96L6, 92N6, and 91N6 radars are basically the same as the S-300PMU2, all being PESA radars, and their performance can hardly be considered advanced.
