Saar - it is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work. The Paki Fizzleya chaps working for the Saudi's will be flying the Blunder into 'combat'. Why should Saudi's waste their F-15's on Pakis? They need those for their joy rides.

Pakistan is likely to acquire Shaanxi KJ-500, an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, from China. Negotiations started in June 2025. Just a month before that, India had shot down at least one AWACS aircraft of Pakistan in Operation Sindoor. AWACS is considered a major asset and force multiplier.

Blunders should be fine for hunting pigeons, falcons and may be some drones… all for the pleasure of Sheikhs only

The Paki army dudes gave their blunders and airforce people to Saudi A for exchange of loan money(s) to the army. The army dudes are not putting their lives on the line, pretty clever of failed marshal.

pakis retired their existing chineese AWACS couple of years back becuase those planes and their associated systems were very hard to maintain.

Most probably, they are going back to chineese to buy new AWACS because some general needs some hard $'s to pay for some new pizza franchise purchase

Turkish defence firm starts exporting heavy machine guns designed to counter drones

Turkish defence firm Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS) has begun overseas shipments of its CANiK M3 FALCON, a next-generation heavy machine gun developed to destroy drones and unmanned aerial vehicles from helicopters, said the company’s chair.

The 12.7x99 mm heavy machine gun was showcased for the first time at this week’s SAHA 2026 International Defence and Aerospace Exhibition in Istanbul, where Turkish defence firms are unveiling new systems and signing international cooperation agreements.

Speaking to Anadolu at the fair, SYS Chair Zafer Aral said the CANiK M3 FALCON was designed specifically for the changing battlefield, where low-cost drones and loitering munitions have become a major operational threat.

“The CANiK M3 FALCON is a design developed entirely against drones, against Shahed-type drones, to neutralise drones from helicopters,” he said. “It is currently being used effectively. The first shipments were made to Pakistan and Azerbaijan.”
