ISLAMABAD:<\/strong> The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has successfully conducted Exercise \u201cGolden Eagle\u201d within the area of responsibility of its Southern Air Command, the military\u2019s media wing said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the exercise was aimed at validating combat readiness and operational agility through the synchronised employment of the PAF\u2019s full spectrum combat capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drill was conducted under a Two-Force construct, focusing on AI-enabled and net-centric operations while integrating indigenous niche, disruptive and smart technologies in line with evolving regional security dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISPR said that operating within a robust integrated air defence system, friendly forces shaped the battlespace by seamlessly combining kinetic operations with cyber, space and electromagnetic spectrum domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kinetic phase featured swing-role combat aircraft employing a \u201cFirst-Shoot, First-Kill\u201d concept. The aircraft were equipped with long-range beyond-visual-range (BVR) air-to-air missiles, extended-range stand-off weapons and precision strike capabilities. These operations were supported by airborne early warning and control platforms as well as air-to-air refuelling aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key highlight of the exercise was Manned\u2013Unmanned Teaming, involving deep-reach armed drones and loitering munitions operating in a highly contested and degraded environment. The exercise validated the PAF\u2019s capability to conduct high-tempo operations in modern warfare scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exercise was executed under unified command and control from the Next-Generation All-Domain Command and Control Centre at Air Headquarters, Islamabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful conduct of Exercise Golden Eagle reaffirms the PAF\u2019s commitment to maintaining a high level of operational preparedness, leveraging indigenous innovation and effectively responding to emerging and future security challenges, the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
