What's the refeuling arrangement in PAF IL-78's?
It landed alongside the jets, so the ground crew was in it likely. Does it have multiple tank sections or just a single larger one?

I’ll reiterate - sometimes character changes when power comes. By every account I verified both prior to and post the paper incident the current ACM was always regarded as a “good” officer.
But I have seen good officers try to hush things when their sons were honey trapped by an Indian or I have seen mrs of good officers go complete “change the sofa at the civil hotel because my daughters dress wont match”

He is good.....but far from humble.

To be fair, after May I would find it hard to be humble too, I know he was not that modest before May either though.
Even our officers are a reflection of Pakistani society, we see such tamasha from big landowners, CEOs etc. We were just lucky that recently we had quite a few modest and humble guys at the helm, now we have someone not like them. As long as he get the job done and is respected it s a small price to pay.
Think we forget, 6y months ago we just had the most successful day in air to air combat for the last 40 odd years anywhere in the world.

It wasn't worth reading. The way the author has put words in the mouth of Sqn Ldr Arshad Sami is deplorable and shameful. My family too has shed blood protecting our borders. I do not think it treachery to have a soft corner for our neighbours. Indeed, PAF veterans, and IAF veterans too, have publicly expressed goodwill for the other side as well as their military counterparts.Letter of Father of Adnan Sami Khan addressed to the latter. Worth reading.
Adnan,
I do not wish to start with the term "Dear" or "son", because I do not wish to acknowledge that you're either of those for me. I am a miserable soul and I do not wish to increase my torment here.
Mr. Adnan, let me introduce myself to you, because you seem to have forgotten it all. Let me refresh your arrogance - fogged memory.
I, am a Pakistan Air Force officer. I am the youngest recipient of Sitara Jurat. I am the recipient of the Medal of Honor from Iran, Turkey and Jordan. The Kings of these countries sought to honor me for my services. I am the recipient of multiple gallantry awards including the SJ and Sitara e Imtiaz, because I fought for my country in the 1965 war, valiantly so. I served three presidents as Aide de camp in my service, and I was taken up into foreign services after my retirement from the Airforce to represent my beloved land across the world. I made it to the 22nd grade, upto the post of Commissioner General, the first, I might add.
Let me indulge deeper into flashback. When you were young and had a taste for music, I bought you your first Piano. You learnt to play and I was very proud of you. I arranged for you to travel across the country to different PAF bases in military aircrafts, requesting their base commanders to let you perform. They took you in with open arms, because of what your father meant to them. That, is where you started your music career from, performing in military bases, travelling on the expense of the PAF, who applauded you for your talents and provided you with opportunities.
Coming back to the 1965 war that made your father who he was. The enemy was upon us. We were a few skilled men, and we had the weight of our country's entire population on our young shoulders. We gave it everything we had and we succeeded. Let me be clear; that was my country's debt on me. I was chosen for this honor, I owed my land more than my singular life.
The enemy that I spoke of, Adnan, was the last five letters on your current address. It was the loathsome colors on the flag you hold. It was the anthem that you now believe in. It was the sound of oppression, the conflict of ideology and the arch nemesis of my beloved motherland.
Soldiers, Adnan, think differently than you liberated and self centered men. For us, it is the sound of our anthem that brings us peace, the sight of our flag that brings us tranquility and the scent of our earth, that fuels our will to live. I cannot describe in any sufficient words how much my country means to me.
The land that you proudly proclaim to be your home, is the land your unfortunate father almost died fighting against. The enmity between your home and mine is so deep rooted and so traumatizing, it is unimaginably treacherous to have even thought about creating a soft corner for the murderer of hundreds and thousands of our brothers, sisters, parents and children. And you, in pursuit of worldly gains (atleast that's what your incentive was) stepped on your father's name and repute to get to the other side. My blood is on the border that you crossed, Adnan. My friends in heaven heard you say Jai Hind. I thanked God in person, that He did not keep me alive to witness that moment. That he didn't make me stay long enough to exclaim your love for the armed forces that have killed my fellow soldiers.
The world remembers me in honorable mentions. But I think I brought myself the worst disgrace that the universe has to offer. I brought you into this world, and whatever I may proclaim, you will always be a cancerous part of me. Deteriorating my honor, you will always be my deepest regret.
Your miserable father,
Sqn Ldr Arshad Sami
SJ, SI(M)
Let's be men, honourable and decent men, and not madmen.

Damn,...although personally i have noticed the image glorification of the ACM....like he is being credited with the efforts rather then the whole airforce...
