Today in History
On 26 June 2010, Pakistan Air Force entered a new era with the arrival of the first batch of F-16 C/D Block 52 fighters. More than a routine induction, it was a strategic leap that significantly enhanced Pakistan’s aerial combat capability and reinforced credible deterrence in an evolving security environment.
Ferried home by PAF pilots trained in the United States, these advanced fighters represented the successful execution of the landmark Pakistan-US agreement for induction of these state-of-the-art aircraft. Welcomed by PAF's senior leadership, the aircraft's arrival reflected a clear vision for force modernization and operational excellence. The Block 52 platform brought a generational upgrade to PAF inventory; advanced avionics, precision-guided weapons, enhanced situational awareness and all-weather day/night strike capability. With greater reach, survivability and mission flexibility, the aircraft expanded PAF’s ability to operate effectively across the full spectrum of conflict.
Sixteen years later, the induction remains a defining milestone in Pakistan’s air power journey—an enduring symbol of readiness, technological advancement and the relentless pursuit of air superiority.

Now that Indian media is suggesting that this Track 2 may shift into Track 1, a reminder that during the ceasefire announcement, Rubio had “announced” that India and Pak agreed to “start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site”, which the GoI and MEA vehemently denied.
@Osint613 Fuck qatar , Pakistan and regional states who supporting the terrorist regime

@garf_art You should re listen to the first episodes then. I wouldn’t go around making claims like this if you’ve literally not watched them. There’s literally two episodes, on the matter, of which both lead to us being labelled Indians or anti national.
I issue an open challenge to anyone to bring forth some evidence of this RoE cope.
It’s so weird, combat losses are expected, it’s normal. Yet instead we get cope like
Was friendly fire
Was roe
Was a technical issue
Like sure, let’s paint the leadership as incompetent instead
@someplaosint nah, it was RoE, IAF wasn't to engage military targets, they were getting normal RWR which is normal across border, but any launch in TWS mode will not give warning untill pitbull. They didn't expect missile launch on 1st day, later days J10 no where to be seen when IAF was free
@garf_art “Let’s see you questioning your side for a change” - every single podcast episode I’ve done on the matter has been full of criticism for the Pakistani side. I don’t believe I’ve made one positive comment towards them. There is no evidence, or proof of any RoE limitations.
"Tejas Mk-1A RCS is 60% less than
Chinese/Pak J-10C.
Tejas Mk-1A in combo with Uttam AESA radar, Scorpius/8222SB EW suite and Astra Mk1 missiles will have First Look, First Shoot, First Kill advantage against J-10Cs".
Other than the like 3 missions where you’d not want a crew and a slightly greater cargo volume, what actually is the point of this?
Unmanned for the sake of being unmanned?
Everyone: USA is falling behind on drone technology.
Boeing and Lockheed in 2025: All of the helicopters are now autonomous drones. Good luck everybody else.
@therealp0litik If X forced Y into obsolescence, then fighters wouldn’t exist because of missiles. Tanks wouldn’t exist because ATGMs. Infantry wouldn’t exist because of bullets, and so forth…this is a piss poor immature mentality. There’s 1001 factors that determine the effectiveness 1/2
