@JamD I'd like to think that Turkey as a primary advisor to Azeris for this war, and a close friend of Pakistan will be something we need to keep in mind?
The sim is also not taking into account that there might be 2 batteries of S400 facing us, not one.
Do Indians portray Brahmos as a...
Pretty much how I’d have imagined this scenario to shape up. I would like to know if you can add Fatah-1 to the mix, before our UAVs start jamming the other side - while considering S400 operational (active) - pushing its effective range back - and instead of H4, JF17s deploy with CM401s. And so...
I wonder if @SQ8 would do us the honor of running a simulation involving the newly acquired UAVs (in numbers to confuse the Indian IADS) in conjunctions with J10Cs/JF-17 to launch a first strike at S400 on the other side.
It'd make up for interesting results.
India seems to be genuinely thinking about, and from the looks of some of their recent reveals (canesterized weapons) strategizing using counterforce against Pakistan. They seem to believe that they can take out in one first giant nuclear strike all of Pakistan’s strategic capability, and that...
JF-17s on that day flying sweep had the flankers on scope but never got clearance to engage. Mirages from the other side bugged out at the drop of a hat.
Don't see PAF opting for maintenance heavy and accident prone AL-31, that'd be akin to shooting themselves in the foot in the presence of WS10B as a choice.
The birds are 100% confirmed due in. The intake has already resulted in making of an entirely new Sqn, which has absorbed Mirages of No. 15 Sqn. The infrastructure to handle the birds is ready.
So, I’m not yet sure if PAF has actually inducted the TB2. But for them to induct a large number of UAVs makes perfect sense. It will allow them to shore up numbers and make up for capability shortcomings in ELINT, SIGINT and hunter killer roles. For instance if they can do 24/7/365 SIGINT/ELINT...
So, Shaheen's objectives are entirely different! If I were to quote one example from the last Shaheen Ex... it'd be this..
Setting: Capability Brief.
PLAAF J-16 pilot, while discussing 'adversary platforms', stops at Su-30MKI - looks at the Pakistani audience, and goes; "Here is our common...
Referring to the people put in the room with DG ISPR, the way media works in Pakistan, DG ISPR knows who is going to ask him what question at which point. There're no surprises in there.
Do you genuinely think that otherwise misinformed Pakistani journalists had the sudden presence of mind to pose DG ISPR questions about J10C buy and Z10ME? Ofc these were understood and put in there to get a point across.
They’re also fairly clear about their national interest. And don’t let anything disrupt them with it. Pakistan’s version of national interests is very myopic and very ad hoc.
