Peddling Saab propaganda now, are we? (I'm all for it)

Mind you this is an Air Test and Evaluation Squadron. This is most likely a stress test and will be overkill in an actual engagement. Spreading out your "Force/Murder Capabilities" across the strike package is more desirable as Losing a single plane in a heavily armed strike package would mean losing a significant portion of your firepower. Though it would be hard to get close (I am just coping, nothing can shoot this plane down 😭) This mirrors modern tactics where networked systems, like data sharing between aircraft or between different branches (air, land, sea), aim to make the force as a whole more lethal and less dependent on any one platform. @planenerd

⚡️🇵🇰 On Sept 6th, 1965, PAF launched a daring strike on the IAF base at Pathankot, catching Indian forces by surprise. The raid destroyed 10+ IAF aircraft on the ground. @planenerd

⚡️🇵🇰 No. 6 Transport Squadron of the Pakistan Air Force modified its C-130Bs for use as bombers to carry up to 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg) of bombs on pallets. These improvised bombers were used to hit Indian targets such as bridges, heavy artillery positions, tank formations, and troop concentrations. @planenerd

⚡️🇵🇰 On Sept 7, 1965, over Sargodha, PAF’s Squadron Leader MM Alam, flying an F-86 Sabre, shot down 5 IAF Hawker Hunters in under a minute (4 in just 30 seconds). This feat, unmatched in modern air combat history, cemented his place as one of the greatest fighter aces @planenerd
