PAFs

PAFs is an acronym that can refer to several organizations or programs that share the same initials. The most widely recognized is the Pakistan Air Force, the aerial warfare branch of the Pakistan Armed Forces.

Pakistan Air Force: The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was established in 1947 after the partition of British India. It is responsible for defending Pakistan’s airspace, providing air support to ground forces, and conducting air reconnaissance and other operations. The PAF has pursued modernization through domestically developed and foreign-supplied aircraft, and it operates a mix of fighter, transport, and training aircraft. It maintains an air defense network, including radar early-warning and interceptor capabilities, and participates in joint exercises with allied nations to enhance interoperability and readiness.

Other uses: In broader discussions, PAFs can refer to other national or organizational bodies that use the same acronym. For example, some contexts may use PAFs to denote multiple air forces or related programs in different countries, or to stand for distinct organizations in health, science, or civil administration, depending on the context. Because the same initials appear in many languages and sectors, the exact meaning of PAFs is typically clarified by accompanying information such as country, field, or organization name.
