@Khafee bhai a few professionals have been talking about a new western jet for a while now, is it F16 they are talking about or we are pulling a egypt too? 🤔
Can you elaborate what you mean by "Egypt" ? but yes it is the Blk70/72 that they are discussing.

By Egypt, I meant the induction of multiple fighter jets in a short period. (MIG35,Rafale and SU35)
Be it Egypt, Pakistan or any other Air Force, when you see new platforms being inducted, you have to realize that any where, from a min of 3 to 5yrs ago this decision was made.

Air crew, ground crew, a plethora of equipment - all need training. Then there is the physical infrastructure work. Due to operational security, things are kept out of the public's eye,, that doesn't mean the Air Force is sleeping.

After Feb 2019 a certain Sq.Ldr who was awarded a gallantary award, spent 6+ mnths in the US, doing what?
