Saudi MOD just issued a press release. PAF has been deployed in Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
- Thread starter A.Man
- Start date
Yep yep read, the cause was the 'unknown' attacker on the Saudi east west pipeline
Pakistani media is reporting a $12b arms deal purchase from China which includes HQ-19, KJ-500, and... J-35A lol
Yesterday, there were reports of Pakistan military establishing some type of presence in Saudi Arabia with HQ-19 (which I stated in another thread 'I wasn't aware Pakistan operated this').

PAF is being sent at 2 Airbases in KSA, one is the above one next to israel and Crucially they sit ahead of the two Holy sites.
Hajj (Muslim Pilgrimage) time is about to start in a month's time and flights people would start going there in about 2 months.
The other base thats reported is right on the coast of the persian gulf, right NEXT to Bahrain.
About 24 planes are in KSA and other support crafts.
PAF escorted Iranians back with 9 planes total( to cover for 2 Iranian planes), a video when they were turning back with their tanker.
Yeah Various media and others in the know how are reporting this, some of this will be financed by Saudis directly too.
But Pakistan DOESNT OPERATE HQ19 , the video being shared around is from Zouhai Air show.
From what I have talked-heard from people is that they arent going for HQ19s right now but multiple HQ22's instead (End of this year delivery is the hopes), And with them will go the KJ500 next, and last one will the planes in 2-3 years.
Oh yeah I forgot, before ALL OF THOSE they are wanting to get DF17's ,

Guys, with all due respect, please be considerate of our hosts and the community on this forum by refraining from sharing unverified news. The Islamabad news post lacks any credible sources and appears to be propaganda, possibly written by a blogger with no sources in the Govt..Wait for any official announcement from PAF / Gov or Chinese Gov. Likewise, the video shared above is clearly fake because a refueler with a boom-style configuration (likely from the KC series) is shown, which the PAF does not operate and Pakistan Air Force F-16s are not air-refueled anyways unless they are exercising with an ally that operates boom style configuration tanker. Let’s aim to be respectful, credible and share only verified, credible content rather than copying and pasting unverified material.
Idk about that website, but multiple paf people are talking about it, now it could be all fake but Interior ministers staffer was on news saying the 'deal is being discussed and will be finalized this year' in feb
Dont know about the tanker video tho, There are 2-3 more videos of that same scene from different angles tho and I havnt seen it before but could be old one. But in my short search I wasnt able to find duplicate of this, although it was short search
Did anyone knew about PNS Rizwan ?
I only recently learned of it when some pictuers of it came out along the Pakistani Coast.
Havnt been able to find good source/articles of it except this and
Cant even find its induction ceremony news blurb from Pk source

Never heard of 'timesofislamabad'
That video shows a tanker aircraft with fighters in formation, it's not of the escort of the Iranian aircraft. The only deployment has been towards Dammam as per what can be confirmed through open-source info, it shows that 3 C-130H and 2 Il-76MP aircraft were involved in the airlift. It's likely that 8 fighters have been probably deployed. I imagine their role will likely be drone interdiction and I would wager they are F-16 aircraft, though yet to be confirmed of course.
