The Akinci has a radar sensor (MURAD 100-A AESA Radar) that can be utilised and PAF operates the type already. Not sure if it is integrated with the Erieye or not( ie does Akinci support Link-16 ?)

I was thinking this because we have heard numerous times about the height limitation on Erieyes because of turboprops. High flying drones can really compliment them...

Muridke General Aviation Aerodrome has been completed..

~2 billion Rs worth phase one is operational now and 7 billion Rs phase 2 is ongoing. It was completed in three years to replace Walton airport in Lahore, which got converted into Central business district (CBD) in 2021.

Project details :

* Runway length 6,000 ft/width 100ft
* 2 taxiways
* Rigid apron
* Aircraft hangars
* ATC tower and night landing


* terminal building and RFFS

Its spread over 500 acres and run by Pakistan airports authority (PAA). King Edward Medical University is also establishing a green field campus adjacent to it. Due to motorway interchange nearby, travel distance from Lahore is under one hour.

Its situated 16 km east of Muridke town, where India conducted air strikes on 7th may 2025 during operation Sindoor !

What do you think, how it will help flying clubs and training of pilots in Pakistan for expanding aviation industry. Is that kind of location ideal within 16 km of international border for civil infrastructure of national importance?
