PAKISTAN AIR FORCE..ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Air Chief Marshal Tanvir Mehmood Ahmed said that without a strong Air Force, no war could be won nor could any country perpetuate its existence.
He said this while addressing a ceremony held to launch a book 'PAF Over the Years' containing Group Captain Masud Akhtar Hussaini's paintings.
Pakistan's role in war against terrorism is very vital; USA will soon acknowledge it, he asserted.
Air Chief Marshal said Pakistan air force faced various hardships in technological field owing to the Pressler amendment; however, in the wake of pacts entered into with China and other countries, the aggravated situation has improved now, adding Pakistan Air Force will become a modern and high-tech Air force by 2010.
Tanvir Mehmood said the well-placed strategy of Pakistan Air Force came in handy to avert Pak-India war in 2002.
He said that Pakistan Air Force fleet would receive eight JF-17 Thunder aircrafts in January next year putting once and for all an end to the reliance on only one country.
'Pakistan has now become a "plane designing" country as it was previously manufacturing aircrafts,' he said adding even USA is not specialist in this field
