Namal

Namal (Urdu: نمل), is a town and union council, an administrative subdivision, of Mianwali District in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is part of Mianwali Tehsil and is located at 32°40'10N 71°48'45E. Namal is a combination of two Punjabi word "Na" mean No and "Mul" mean price. So Namal means "The most valuable land" or "The land for which no one can pay the price". In Urdu it means "Anmool"(انمول). This name was given by old residents of here. No doubt this area was "Anmool" as there were 120 wells of drinking water in the valley some hundred years ago. This area, known as Namal Valley (وادی نمل) has been very ancient and inhabited for many centuries, which is evidenced by the oldest cemetery of Namal on the banks of the lake and the decayed graves here show how old this area is. There is a well-known tradition that before the British era, the ruler of this area was Raja Sarkap, who was very cruel. History The 1915 Gazetteer of Mianwali, in a section entitled "Architectural Objects and Remain-Ruins of Sirkapp Fort", described the Namal area as follows: Overlooking the village site of Nammal in the Khudri is a ridge of great natural strength, cut off on three sides by hill torrents. On the top of this ridge there are extensive ruins of what is said to have been the stronghold of Sirkapp, Raja of the country, who was a contemporary of Raja Risalu of Sialkot, by whom he was vanquished. The outer wall of the fort still exists in part in a dilapidated condition, but the enclosure, which must once have contained accommodation for a fairly large garrison, is now one mass of fallen houses and piles of hewn or chiselled stones . The series of lifts, made for carrying water from the bed of the stream to the top of the hill, have left their marks. References

PAF Base Murid

Pakistan Air Force Base Murid or more simply PAF Base Murid (Urdu: پی اے ایف بیس مرید) is an operational flying base of the Pakistan Air Force located near the village of Murid in the Chakwal District of Punjab. It houses the UCAV and UAV fleet of the Pakistan Air Force. History The airfield was established by the British in 1942 as an RIAF Air Station. After Pakistan gained independence in 1947, the airfield was renamed as the No. 784 Readiness Flight and served as a Forward operating base for the PAF. Gradually, the airfield was installed with Airfield Lightening Systems (AFLS) and PAR systems. In 2013, the airfield was re-structured and subsequently named PAF Base Murid with its operational status being upgraded to Main operating base in December 2014. As the PAF's drone fleet expands, the No. 42 Flying Wing has been established at the base with major infrastructure plans to transform the base. 8 hangars constructed to house various kinds of combat drones. 3 were under construction. 2025 Indian airstrikes Amidst the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict, Murid airbase was amongst 11 air bases that were targeted with missile attacks by the Indian Air Force during the midnight hours of 10 May 2025. The Pakistan Armed Forces claimed that their air defense systems had intercepted the incoming Indian missiles and reported all assets at the base safe and operational. Satellite imagery released by Indian MEA showed a nearly 3-metre-wide crater just 30 metres from the entrance of a heavily fortified sub-complex within the Murid air base. The crater's proximity to what is believed to be an underground structure raised speculation that India aimed to strike deep-buried assets, possibly linked to command-and-control functions or drone operations. On 2 June 2025, satellite images provided by Maxar Technologies indicated that a green tarpaulin was hiding what appeared to be repair work on a command and control centre that was struck on 10 May.Further imagery revealed that the structure was demolished for reconstruction works by March 2026. Units Various UAV and UCAV squadrons of the 42 Flying Wing operate out of Murid Airbase. No. 60 Strategic Squadron — Operates Shahpar-1 UAVs No. 61 Strategic Squadron — Formerly operated 5 NESCOM Burraqs. Currently undergoing training on Shahpar-I. No. 64 CUAS Squadron — Operates Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs. No. 65 MR UAS Squadron — Operates Baykar Bayraktar Akıncı HALE UCAVs.

The museum is the only military aviation museum in Pakistan, with more than 50 aircraft, radars and missiles on display. The museum draws thousands of visitors each day making it one of the most frequently visited tourist attractions in Karachi. History The Museum dates back to the time of colonial rule when two hangars were erected by the British in the remote part of PAF Base Drigh Road which through the years were abandoned. In the years that followed, then Base commander of Faisal Airbase (Abbas Khattak) suggested an idea of establishing a museum to preserve the history of the air force. The museum was established in 1990 under the supervision of Air Commodore (retd) Usman Ghani who renovated the old hangar and developed the barren area. Between 1999 and 2004, the museum was expanded significantly. Additions included children's playing areas, rides, and eateries.

Museo dell'Aeronautica militare pachistana

Il museo dell'Aeronautica Militare pachistana di Faisal (in urdu پاک فضائیہ عجائب گھر‎?; in inglese Pakistan Air Force Museum) è il museo ufficiale dell'aeronautica militare pachistana, situato sul confine sud-occidentale della base PAF di Faisal, nei pressi del Karsaz Flyover lungo il boulevard Shahrah-e-Faisal a Karācī. Si tratta dell'unico museo dell'aviazione militare in Pakistan, con oltre 50 velivoli, radar e missili. Il museo attira migliaia di visitatori al giorno ed è una delle principali attrazioni turistiche di Karācī. Storia Il museo risale all'epoca del dominio coloniale, quando gl'inglesi costruirono due hangar nella parte remota della base PAF di Drigh Road, poi abbandonati nel corso degli anni. Negli anni successivi, l'allora comandante della base aerea di Faisal, Abbas Khattak, suggerì l'idea d'istituire un museo per preservare la storia dell'aeronautica militare. Il museo fu quindi fondato nel 1990 sotto la supervisione del comandante dell'aeronautica in pensione Usman Ghani, che restaurò il vecchio hangar e riqualificò l'area abbandonata. Tra il 1999 e il 2004 il museo fu notevolmente ampliato; vennero integrate aree gioco per bambini, giostre e punti di ristoro. Mostre e collezioni La maggior parte degli aerei, delle armi e dei radar sono esposti all'esterno, nel parco, ma il corpo principale del museo ospita comunque tutti i principali aerei da combattimento utilizzati dall'aeronautica militare pachistana. Le collezioni del museo includono l'aereo Vickers VC.1 Viking utilizzato da Mohammed Ali Jinnah, fondatore del Pakistan, e un Folland Gnat dell'Aeronautica Militare indiana, che atterrò nella città di Pasrur nel corso della guerra indo-pachistana del 1965. Sono inoltre esposti modelli in scala di alcuni aerei della prima e della seconda guerra mondiale e di alcuni aerei più moderni, insieme con gallerie fotografiche che ritraggono quasi tutti gli squadroni dell'Aeronautica Militare pachistana. Tra gli aerei in mostra al museo, figurano: Martin B-57 Canberra De Havilland Tiger Moth North American Harvard Lockheed F-104 Starfighter North American F-86 Sabre Dassault Mirage 5 Shenyang F-6 Lockheed T-33 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Auster Autocar Antonov An-26 Antonov An-12 A-26 Invader U-9 Aero Commander Vickers Viking Folland Gnat Kaman HH-43 Huskie Oltre ai velivoli provenienti dall'inventario della PAF, i visitatori possono ammirare il Folland Gnat sottratto all'Aeronautica Militare indiana, un MiG 21 dell'Afganistan e un Antonov An-12 dell'Aeronautica Militare irakena. Una statua del comandante di squadriglia dell'Aeronautica Militare indiana Abhinandan Varthaman insieme alle parti della fusoliera e della coda del suo aereo Mig-21 sono esposte in una galleria denominata «Operation Swift Retort».
