Another surprise. This doesn’t seem to be the Pak-Turkish loitering munition.

No wheels, swept wings, completely different tail.

What about a dedicated EW aircraft with stand off jamming capabilities?
I call this the Jinnah ESM/ECM/ELINT aircraft, it is based on the A319 minibus.

The PAF training culture remains strictly American but the aircraft inventory has evolved over the last 70 odd years from...
1. USA 100%
2. USA France and China
3. China USA France
4. China USA

I'd take an air force with western training standards with eastern inventory rather than an air force trained with eastern standards and western equipment.
