You fly more - you loose more ! Thats a direct corelation. Pak started to fly more after iaf increased sorties - crash rate went through the rooof. It might be surprising for you - flying costs lot of money. And also objectively if you analyze - F7's and even thunder doesnt have endurance . On station each sortie time does not last for more than 30-40 mins. So whoever is feeding you these BS of 220 hrs - its just BS. Only F16 - has a good loiter time and MirageIII coz it refueles (assuming all have got Rose). Similarly - Su30's have got the best loiter time followed by M2ks, Mig29's , etc. So if you ask Su 30 pilot - they would be clocking more than 300 hrs. If you ask Mig21 pilot - they might be clocking 150 -180 hrs.
So learn to undertand the figures when people quote rosy picture. And listen to fighter pilot podcast of indian airforce pilots

I agree with you the PAF flies more and loses a 3-4 aircraft in a year which is about 0.01 % of our Air Force. This is consistent with any professional Air Force.
why does India fly less and lose more aircraft and pilots? 200 pilots in 10 years on just migs ? Point me to one other air force with such high iteration numbers ?
the second point about endurance is funny as well. The f-7 has a sortie time of 45 minutes it was used as an interceptor or point defense aircraft. But the jf-17s endurance is 3 hours / sortie. It does have air Refueling capability from block 2 onwards so can be extended to 6 hours with drop tanks and aerial refueling similar to f-16. india and paksitan both have 4 tankers each which is not sufficient for 24 hour coverage.
just to add insult to injury outside of su-30, Rafael and mirage 2000 ( the last two in very limited numbers) nothing in the IAF has endurance.
Rofl - have you done your analysis. Heres what you do - for last 10 years create a list of PAF reported crashes ( there are unreported ones too) , create a list of PAF mortalities, segregate between rotary/fighter ; Create the same list for IAF. And compare them. Take into consideration IAF is twice PAF. Calculate ratios - by all accounts PAF fares very pooorly.
you keep quoting a secret list of planes crashing in the Pakistani military, these things are myths just like India shooting down a Pakistani aircraft.
You can check a list of PAF crashes on the PDF’s outsourced partner for all things PDF would not do on BharatRakshah they keep a list I think Pakistan had 2 crashes in 2019.
you can also search dawn.com where a crash is always reported. This is not India my friend we have transparency and democracy all part of the Niya Pakistan.
Where is the CREDIBLE & GENUINE evidence that the PAF is not doing well? If you are not lying then remember to post the links here.
There is 0 CREDIBLE & GENUINE evidence for ALL the above........
100% agree india is never creditable or genuine about military numbers or analysis . I think this stems from their inferiority complex from being completely out done by Pakistan a country 4 times smaller, with a population 8 times smaller and a economy 25 times smaller.
I think they are
afraid that when Inshallah Pakistan’s economy will grow due to CPEC what will happen to India. The scariest thought is what if Pakistan’s defence budget goes up to 18 billion a year.
k
Do a search. In think for benefit of PDF - you guys can compile the list and let everyone know the outcome. Why should it be spoon fed? Hint - ratio favors very badly for PAF.
Certain lies and made up stories are being forced to be accepted as "FACTS"........
