And a naval air base in Musandam, Oman.

Musandam should’ve been bought along with Gwadar in the past, would’ve been a fantastic strategic move.

Apples to oranges, A proper naval airbase plus shipyard in Gwadar would serve the same purpose while also being much easier to supply logistically, particularly a Submarine base would be in a perfect place to choke out Indian energy supplies coming from the Gulf.

I've seen them up close. They're sooo old. Complete analog. Great for beginners though.

Honestly, I don't think the airframe will hold up.

Had they of gone through MLU when we actually got 'em back 10-11 Years ago, it would've mattered.

Now, it would be a like adding a huge-@$$ spoiler on your old Honda/Acura.

My 2nd cousin has a similar set up on a Merc AMG. Makes a 60k car look 10k...

Nope, easy target for brahmos.

A base on foreign lands (although impossible at the moment) would be a political obstacle for India to hit on, and would be BLA/Insurgency free.

Then there is not point in talking about impossibilities, building a proper bases in Gwadar is possible right now.

Similarly having fighters based overseas really far away is not ideal either in terms of sortie generation and range.

What Pakistan really needs is more decentralised operations and redundant infrastructure that makes decapitation strikes less effective.

Think Sweden or USAF Agile Combat Employment strategy

In a way these drones deserved the title of Ababeel , because it fits the bill. "Ababeel Drones"

• Small in size
• High Number , Saturation
• Big Impact

The MIRV Missile Ababeel

• Should be renamed to something more fitting Zulfiqar MIRV (2000+km)

In Islamic lore, the most famous spear is Zulfiqar, associated with the Prophet Muhammad's son-in-law, Ali

Come on bro aren't you being pessimistic, It was our main tool in May 2025

Currently

• Well you can broadcast your signal radio wave
• It can be encrypted or encrypted
• It seems different planes have different way to encrypt the signals
• Often the conversation uses Mission Code so purpose of mission is not disclosed , so it is difficult to figure out thing

You can also push your signal to Space instead and then download signal back to planes, however it is possible to intercept Satellite Signal as well

• The actual satellite could get hacked but very hard to do from my understanding , with all the modern anti hacking measures.

Current Iran-Israel War I heard , Israeli planes were getting data fed from space on possible targets, satellite link

• Initially they allowed Iranians to launch missiles , then from space info was being analyzed and following day Israel was conducting operations on those targets
• But it is also possible the UAV drones inside Iran were used to target certain SAM

Unlike the Pakistan-India air-force battle, Iran-Israel battle had no great detail what Iran intercepted from enemy planes or how many planes actually were shot or damaged

• How many Israeli planes were in Iran ? 1-2 or Zero
• Was it all UAV from inside Iran
• How many planes were destroyed ?
• Why are there no videos of planes flying over cities?

• Pakistan was a bit more prepared to thwart the attack from India

Pakistan should look for options how to knock out Satellites over their space which don't belong to Pakistan, satellite buster


Alternatively , hand signals also can work if planes are flying near to each other (Old Fashion Way which is also quite safe)



As Pakistan has many Expert PHD level Engineers / Radar / Communication I am sure they already have head about many options
They are always ahead of the game, they are of course Experts in field unlike myself who is not expert in the field of comm/radars



The Radar Signal can both be blessing and curse , blessing as you can target other planes , curse because it exposes your position


The Stealth planes I think typically keep their radar footprint low maintaining very low radar activity

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) took part in this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) with the JF-17 Thunder Block III multirole fighter. The appearance marked the first time the Block III variant, also known as JF-17C, was presented to the public in the United Kingdom, and its participation was recognized with the “Spirit of the Meet” trophy, awarded annually to the aircraft or team that best represents the ethos and energy of RIAT.

Offence is the best defense. WE should do away with showing cowardice (aka restraint) now and adopt preemptive strike Initiative and strike first while the enemy is getting ready, rather than giving it advantageous position by letting it chose the time and place of attack. Strike first, strike fast, strike hard and keep striking until you degrade their offensive capability.
