Dawn News is also showing pictures of the wrong AWACs system. They're showing Chinese rotodome ZDK-03 images. There is no excuse for such poor research.

when it comes to defence related procurement, our media is PATHETIC at reporting

especially geo news.

We need a proper military channel, like what they have in the U.S.

thanks for the good news. This will be a great boost to the PAF and its attack/defence operational capability
