Very good. In today’s hostile environment where half the success lies in readiness, and the other half in strategy, it is the the perfect time to sharpen the skill and maintain a readiness.

I wonder if PAF will use this opportunity to utilize the JF-17.

Yes, you may be right. As of right now, there is a squadron of JF-17s based in Peshawar (which will be Thunder's primary base; atleast for now).

I hope to see a footage of the war games, if it's made available.
