Are you sure? I heard these were bought for counter insurgency operations
Yes they were, and Al-zarrar is primarily used for COIN as well.
They are mainly stationed on the wetern border against afghanistan and in KPK and balochistan.
The Al khalids are stationed at thr east border against india.

Is there any clearer picture of the specs sheet?
Prelude
Hello to the new suggestion for the PAF (Pakistan Air Force) Tech Tree. This is a legitimisation of my previous post which was a combined Tech tree for air, ground and helicopters:
Now this iteration of the TT will focus more on details and as such there may be changes to it even after the suggestion is accepted.
Introduction
Similar in many aspects to the PLAAF (Chinese Air Force) Tech Tree, which comprises of imported vehicles as well as vehicles from ROCAF AKA Republic of China Air Force (Taiwanese Air Force), the PAF Tech Tree will comprise of a BAF Sub Tree due to the shared, albeit rocky history of the two nations.
History
As the legendary ace Chuck Yeager puts it: [1]
Q: Of all the pilots you’ve flown with, which do you respect the most and why?
A: In 1971-73, I flew with the Pakistan Air Force in the war with India. They were the best in the world because they had the most experience - over 75 hours/month.
USA - Aviation week - December 1968 issue
"For the PAF, the 1965 war was as climatic as the Israeli victory over the Arabs in 1967. A further similarity was that Indian air power had an approximately 5:1 numerical superiority at the start of the conflict. Unlike the Middle East conflict, the Pakistani air victory was achieved to a large degree by air-to-air combat rather than on ground. But it was as absolute as that attained by Israel.

T-6G
History
The Pakistan Air Force used T-6Gs in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 as a night ground-support aircraft, hitting soft transport vehicles of the Indian army. In the early hours of 5 December, during a convoy interdiction mission in the same area, Squadron Leader Israr Quresh’s T-6G Harvard was hit by Indian antiaircraft ground fire and a shell fractured the pilot’s right arm. Profusely bleeding, the pilot flew the aircraft back with his left hand and landed safely. The World War II-vintage propellered trainers were pressed into service and performed satisfactorily in the assigned role of convoy escorts at night.

Westland Wapiti
History
Among the more well known and well trained air forces of the world, the PAF has a comparatively brief history, having been established in 1947.
The RIAF was founded in 1933 and initially flew Westland Wapiti biplanes. Being the first aircraft of the RIAF, the Westland Wapiti was one of the aircraft flown by pilots who would go on to fly for Pakistan after the partition of the subcontinent.

Ground Strike Line
Halifax B VI
History
The Royal Pakistan Air Force continued operating these up till 1961, thus Pakistan became the last military user of the Halifax. In 1947, the RPAF inherited two Halifax bombers from the RAF which were later heavily used during the 1st Kashmir War in 1948. RPAF Halifaxes flew several sorties in support of Pakistani and Kashmiri forces (notably in the Battle of Skardu) during which they conducted night-time Airdrop missions. After the war, six ex-RAF Halifax-BVIs were purchased in 1949. Due to their high operational costs, the RPAF Commanders decided not to enlarge the Halifax fleet too much. These airplanes were later transferred to the newly raised No. 12 Squadron PAF where they were only used in emergency situations. Gradually, they were transferred to long term storage and were later scrapped.

Bangladesh Line
I feel that the possibility of the Pakistani TT as a combined tree of Pakistan and Bangladesh is a real possibility and actually implementable in game.
Being brother nations as well as brother air forces, they should do well to complement one another in real life as well as in game.
where’s DC-3?
sneak peek on latest research
How many Al Khalids do you want?
Pakistan: Yes
Another update without the Durjoy 😕
JF-17 A1 is upon us!!!
