PAF requires neither an email nor a payment. We own the skies over Afghanistan.
Flying over Afghanistan requires requesting permission via a Gmail account at least 48 hours in advance and paying a $700 fee. With no en-route air traffic control, pilots must broadcast their positions and intentions over radio and maintain separation themselves.

BREAKING: Pakistan conducts successful test-firing of its first indigenous Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) air-to-air missile, the FA’AZ-1, with an OEM range of 100 kilometres. The tested variant was the Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker variant. An active-radar seeker variant also exists. Longer range FA’AZ-2 AA missiles are also under development.

Just bring 1 picture of a wreckage of Pakistan Air Force aircraft 🀑 Yes, 2 hangers were hit, 2 airstrips were hit bit absurd claims like 13 aircraft shaat daan Saar would only make IAF look more fatuous. Sad to see world's 3rd largest air force hiring PR handles to support their bollywood stories.
Cost of Pakistani war losses during #OpSindoor. Now that I may have some free time, it's time to finish this. Just found it again after completely forgetting about it.

That's a fkin Yiha-III Kamikaze drone.... Some 30k+ followers account btw. labeling a small kamikaze drone as a Mirage when single piston engine is clearly visible in the wreckage....
Confirmed PAF loss during Operation Sindoor. Wreckage footage verified by DGAO confirms a Pakistani Mirage III/5 strike aircraft was shot down in May 2025. Tracked by India's IACCS grid. Intercepted by an indigenous Akash SAM battery. Zero penetration achieved. Combined with 11 cratered PAF bases, Rawalpindi's air offensive completely failed.

Doesn't matter for Pakistan, as it was already in range of existing missiles. Might be some worries for China.

The Actual Radar Imagery From May 10 . How PAF Was Tracking Brahmos From The Moment It Was Launched . Majority Of Brahmos Were Intercepted Clearly Visible In The Complete Video . No ADS In The World Has A 100 Percent Interception Rate . US Iran War Is A Clear Example Of That .
PAF's core philosophy and primary mission is the air defence of πŸ‡΅πŸ‡°. apparently, they publish books every decade reiterating this doctrine. Fair enough. but where was that AD when IAF struck multiple PAFBs, terror infra and radar installations last year?
