FC takes control of Shamsi Airbase*
Frontier Corps has taken the control of Shamsi Airbase here on Saturday. According to the sources 51 US troops have vacated the airbase and their luggage has been shifted to Afghanistan and FC took the control of base. The base was previously used by the UAE leaders as they have been allotted hunting areas by the government of Pakistan in the vicinity of the base. Pakistan government has ordered US to vacate the base after the Nato attack on country’s check-posts in Mohmand agency of tribal region which led the killing of 24 soldiers.

Well done! :k:
Now pls, don’t allow any Yank consulate in Quetta and also next target should be the US monstrous Embassy cut to its normal size, as practiced internationally!

And…pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeee stop taking any “aid” from the US! Thanks.

Re: Shamsi Airbase

now they should get rid of the USAF "technicians" on shahbaz airbase... if its already clean, a clear cut statement from higher ups is due

Re: Shamsi Airbase

They are part of the "deal" with the PAF regarding the F-16s sale. This is why I was opposed to the sale, unless PAF's threat perception has shifted westwards from india, since there is no guarantee that US won't pull a 65 or 71 again (when india was in soviet camp) if there is a war with new found "ally" India.

Re: Shamsi Airbase

kis kis mulk k technicans sey jaan churaao gey..

turkish, usa are for f-16 & c130
french for mirage
chinese for jf-17, f7 & shaanxi
swedish for saab 2000
italians for alouette & galileo falco
spanish & indonesians for cn-235

.. kahan tuk likhoon.. ruswai ki list bohat lambi hai !

Re: Shamsi Airbase

French for mirage? I thought PAF had the most sophisticated and experience Mirage rebuild teams out of France? The ROSE upgrades have been done for a while. I always thought alouette and falco were on the way out, but I guess chinese helicopters designs are behind.

PS What is shaanxi?

Re: Shamsi Airbase

Pakistan operate three Shaanxi y-8 (zdk-3) in aew&c roles, recently acquired.

and … galileo falco is uav not a helicopter :smack:

Re: Shamsi Airbase

Why the hell do we need UAVs from italians when we were making them ourselves? It is not like falco is a UCAV to explain its acquirement by Pakistan.

PS my mistake. I remember there was a plane named falcon, which I believe is in the PAF’s VIP fleet.

Re: Shamsi Airbase

Wow. The US government did lie through its teeth. 71 US military personnel were evaced out and they said they had no troops there. What else have they lied about?

Re: Shamsi Airbase

you have nothing good to add man. .always bickering like the women of life1.
can't you say .. something good has happened regardless of 71 soldiers or 7100 were their.

Re: Shamsi Airbase

So the US government lying is a good thing?

Re: Shamsi Airbase

Re: Shamsi Airbase
