I heard this from a friend. last week, 2 of our fighter planes(it can be either 2000's or 29) violated Pakistani airspace purposefully. it was a quick recon mission. move in quickly, gather valuable intel and move out even before Pakistanis know we were there. IAF has got itchy fingers and they do violate airspace once in a while. however the planes were back to base before midnight snacks with lots of valuable information regarding chinas and pakistan movements near the border.

next morning, after carefull analysis of all the captured images they made a shocking discovery. Chinese these time has went too far. they have prepared a ground which resembles the construction of a runway near Nathia Gali. it can be assumed that the runway will be at-least 10,500 ft long after the construction is finished. all the workers and construction equipment belongs to chinese. there are some clues and evidence that they are building atleast 25 underground bomb proof shelters(to hold fighter jets) near the runway. the construction is about 20% complete. 10,500 ft is enough to launch and recover any aircrafts like fighters, heavy bombers and awacs like kj-2000 etc you name it. this place is well protected and surrounded by mountains.

as always, there are order from "high" to downplay this report.

this news may or may not be true, it is upto you.

we are not sure, if the base captured in the intel is the same base that you are talking about. but i am afraid, chinese are going to have a full operational base and chinese are going to use it against us.

Chinese seems to be having major problems in their air bases in Tibet due to the altitude and load capacities. May be they are trying air bases at lower altitudes to offset Indian advantages as also ensure Pakistan is always sucked into the their wars.

They are not trusting Pakistan entirely and wish to have their exclusive bases.Pakistan had it !

The base is without a run way, Its purpose as winter and summer survival training school for PAF aircrew.




Just found the cantt area, We can see it have a single Helipad..

And the F-86 at front gates..



If you are saying their is a Run way, It will serve its purpose in war, But only interception and strike..

Also being in those heights, They risk of being out of commission too, Specially to near to Indian Airbases.
