@swasrao@IAF_MCC Ma'am, even the "credible" ones tend to slip here and there occasionally, I am pretty sure that @IAF_MCC will clarify the matter timely.
@swasrao Highly likely that it's AI ma'am, especially considering how similar it is to the other AI designs present online, such designs will never get clearance or acceptance at unit level. I hereby request all the handles to refrain from spreading such images online.
Exercise Josh 2-26 was conducted on the Western front with Western Air Command of the IAF and Northern Command, Western Command, South Western Command of Indian Army participating in honing their combat skills in a joint ops environment.
Integrated Air Command & Control System (IACCS) of Indian Air Force was instrumental in reducing sensor to shooter time while showcasing its data linking capacity, redundancy & robustness. Akashteer seamlessly plugged in to the IACCS to complement sustained high tempo joint ops in inhospitable terrain.
Operations were conducted to fine tune air space coordination procedures to enable seamless parallel civil and military aviation operations. Joint User Airfields, assets and resources as a Whole Of Nation Approach were optimally exercised to solidify concepts and practice in a training environment.
The major thrust of the joint exercise was to simulate a near realistic combat environment in an integrated framework, focussing on technology integration and civil military fusion while operating in a challenging scenario.

Satellite imagery suggests that development at the dual use Saidu Sharif airport is in advanced stages, with multiple operational and logistical facilities including ADA hut, pens, and FOL point, either completed or under construction. It sits roughly ~130km away from the LoC.
Latest satellite imagery indicates that the NASTP aerodrome near Kamra is nearing completion and may already be operational, or is expected to become operational in the near term, the facility will likely be used for testing and evaluation of RPAs and other unmanned systems.
The other thing that I have observed is that No.53/3 likely deploy their assets at multiple bases at the very same time, example, at least one of the Erieyes is dedicated to support training and Ops. for ACE (TACDE equi. of PAF) and other squadrons at PAF base Mushaf, Sargodha.
@MapOsnit Imo, this is likely primarily being used as a maintenance hangar by No.18 and 19 OCUs who are operating JF-17B and F-16A/Bs, while the hangar on the other side of the runway is a dedicated one for No.53 AEW sqn.
Exactly 27 years since IAF started hitting Kargil positions. I promised this article last year but here it is. FLOGGERS and their Role in Kargil War
Its going to be a long read.
