in 65 the qualitative advantage was very slight not enough to compensate for the iaf numerical superiority
and pakistan is 6th largest population wise
some of your points are valid others are just typical moronic indian ranting
i would like to point it out that PAF has not only lost the qualitative edge over IAF but your point c. is just wrong IAF despite of its dwindling fleet maintains a much larger number of fighters than PAF
d. germans lost the war when they lost the battle of leningrad. they could have possibly...
not well
except for having a bigger radar cross section
su-30mki beats jf-17 block ii in every aspect
speed
maneuverability(climb rate
turning rate)
carrying capacity
sensors
range
thrust to weight ratio
but then again it will all come down to the pilot
if both pilots are evenly matched...
dude Rafale even typhoon would look so cool in paf f-16s color scheme nice job
we are fully capable of reaching $1 trillion economy much before that
just need proper management
you can't do math
18 block 52
40 originally delivered
14 embargoed now delivered
13 ex RJAF
-9 attrition
=76
+2 just delivered
=78 total fleet of f-16s
Not just pakistan the whole world needs to be worried
this guy is going not only take down the U.S but will take down the rest of the world with it
since US is such an important player in global geopolitics and economy
well if we take a historical perspective air forces which adopt an aggressive approach tend to inflict more damage than defensive.
Israeli air force despite being much smaller completely decimated the arab air forces similar approach was taken by the PAF in 65 and it did fairly well
pakistan...
yes f-15E strike eagle is fully capable of carrying bombs
countries like saudi arabia, korea and singapore are still buys f-15s so it is still very much a capable aircraft
PAF will lose fewer planes if it takes the fight into the enemy territory taking a defensive posture will not be beneficial
raad and babur cruise missiles will play a vital role in damaging enemy bases and aircraft parked there
yes i am very pleased to hear that
in a hypothetical indo-pak conflict our greatest advantage will be the mobility of our forces and helicopters play a crucial part in that
this will also nullify the indian cold start doctrine
obviously india
thats why its unlikely paf will purchase such an expensive and important system from russia
but again there is still a possibility for russia to remain neutral and play a role of a mediator in a hypothetical indo-pak conflict like the u.s
plus the chinese will surely support...
well china has provided pakistan f-6 which was licence produced mig-19 and f-7s (mig-21)
i guess russians won't allow the same with j-11
even if the ammunition is the same as jf-17, the logistics infrastructure needed to introduce su-35 will be very costly
air forces like us, israel...
tanks can't operate on the along our western border that's why PA purchased AMRAPs
besides PA should focus on helicopters rather than new tanks. Al-Khalid should be produced in large numbers to replace the older obsolete tanks then we can perhaps look towards new heavy tanks
helicopters are...
if pakistan actually goes for su-35 we also have to consider that fact that the we would have to purchase the bombs and missiles that go along with it
and the spares for this completely new system. This will be a huge and expensive undertaking
that is why chinese j-11 might be a more suitable...
i don't think that weight and geographical factor is that much of an issue back in the 80s PA tested the abrams tank also and it was disqualified based on its targeting, the tracks can be modified according to the terrain. The weight of tanks is obviously going to increase with increase in armor...
PA shouldn't waste time on this tank
they should go for ToT or domestic production for Altay tank from turkey, mbt-99 is only an upgraded al-khalid
while altay is a truly advance tank
if not PA should invest in more anti armor aircraft
since no matter how advance the tank is, against...
actually F-16 and JF-17 are more than a match for mig-29s & mirage 2000s
however they will have a tough time countering su-30mki, rafaels (whenever that deal is completed):coffee:
but i doubt that PAF will purchase su-35 since its a completely different platform and will require a completely...
