A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) contingent has arrived in Saudi Arabia to participate in the multinational aerial combat exercise “Spears of Victory 2026”, according to ISPR.
The contingent reached King Abdulaziz Air Base after completing a long-range, non-stop deployment, and includes F-16 Block 52 fighter aircraft, along with experienced aircrew and ground support personnel.
ISPR said the large-scale international exercise involves the air forces of ten countries, including Pakistan, and places a strong emphasis on advanced electronic warfare operations and modern aerial combat tactics.
PAF’s participation reflects its commitment to strengthening regional and global military cooperation and highlights its ability to operate effectively in a complex, modern combat environment.
The deployment also provides an international platform for the Pakistan Air Force to demonstrate the operational capabilities of its F-16 Block 52 fleet, while engaging in joint training alongside leading global air forces.
The multinational exercise serves as a key forum for enhancing regional security, defence collaboration and interoperability, with PAF’s involvement underscoring its professional excellence and international standing.
