If the man gives us 7th May and more days like it then let him have fancy protocol and more airtime, fine with that, and he has done a good job, culture comes from the top down and PAF has a great warrior culture and proved it's professionalism many times, what we need to do is ensure no more extensions

 

[Yasser76]

We still have Active Mirage in service and no new JF-17 squadron in 2026.​

• Mirage IIIEP/OF/RP — 47 active
• Mirage 5EF/F/PA — 35 active
• Mirage IIIBE/D/DP — 2 active
• Mirage 5DPA2 — 2 active

Total = 86 Mirage aircraft

Yeah, we have seen no new Sqd conversions for about 2 years now. Obviously Azeri order may have pushed back new JF-17C units coming online but I am hoping for some J-10C/J-35 news soon...

F-7PG unit needs to be the first to go, at least Mirages have a strike capability

Is Pakistan considering Turkish HÜRJET supersonic advanced jet trainer/light combat aircraft?

Unsure, would be a good trainer, whole PAF training system is now very old, usual issue is funding

Well I do expect to see Saudi, Turkiye and Pakistan increasingly buy each others kit and co develop more things, in fact that was explicitly stated as part of the pact

Possible. At least in light air to ground missions.
