I would never be Indian and underestimate the enemy. There are plenty of professional warfighters in India and it would be at PAF and Pakistani followers detriment as well to think otherwise. PAF has also had “Yes men” political sycophant leadership which had caused it years of ruin just as the IAF may have had it before.
But that should not let it be branded professional or unprofessional solely on that basis.

Wartime performance matters a lot and @airomerix @PanzerKiel @Ark_Angel have explained well(in various posts) the realities of their military in terms of composition, training and funding vis-a-vis their enormous size.
If anything, I would suggest that the PAF was somewhat surprised (in terms of overestimated performance) by the IAF pilots in the air and leadership on the ground.

That doesn’t mean that the IAF hasn’t bandaged its wounds and now is equipping at a lighting footing to make up for its key strategic lackings in EW & COMSEC.

Anyone have any program video on
No. 11 Squadron (Pakistan Air Force)

i disagree on your logic that a person coming from F-16 background will want F-16, the person who was heading the project when it was launched was none other than AVM Shahid Latif and we all know that he was one of the first people from PAF to fly the F-16's to Pakistan, he had to sacrifice his chance to become COAS just because he didn't wanted to put aside the Thunder program instead of going for procurements from abroad.

He also had health concerns and was never in race of ACM

27th Feb was a wake up call for IAF and they are already working on their shortcomings. Now how long would it take is anyone's guess, as they also have core issues like political interference and size of force.

Not sure if there's an exercise currently underway or it's from last Anatolian Eagle.

Previous, because it has older Top Gun marking on the left side of nose. While newer markings are plain on the front landing gear bay door.

... and if memory serves, the last Anatolian Eagle had JF-17's.

Anatolian Phoenix had No. 9 Sqn (Griffins).
