Afghan air force coming along strong: Video

Nope we aren't bad a** as afghans they have Naswar Power

-- but on a serious note -- I'm curious what is a sustained rate of night combat missions that an air force like the PAF can carry out?

100 missions including night missions sounds like a huge number to me

Yeah agree, @A-Team please also start developing navy. Always nice to see how much Indians are interested in Afghanistan.

I included navy because just like airforce, it takes longer time to build a navy compared to your army, just like airforce. Please dont take it out of context.You dont add a couple of new ships and say your navy is bigger. You would need to work out tactics , logistics and how does ship integrate with current plans etc..

Afghanistan is landlocked, no access to the sea and thus no need of a navy.

Pretty cool video showcasing a quickly maturing Afghan air force. Able to operate day and night with an average 100 missions daily.

We would love to have those Mi-24s that you have on your inventory at the moment Thought I know that Apaches will be coming along in a year or so to be inducted in the Indian Air Force but right now we are in urgent need of those flying tanks aka Mi-24s so even if the Indian gov donates the rest of the 24s currently operating in Indian Air Force I doubt there will be an dent on the strength of your air force in the short term, keeping in mind the hundreds of of other sophisticated aircrafts you have

But we do need them to provide strong air cover for the ANSF.

Curious to know if Pak Air Force is actually night mission capable ?

And they are on the way as we speak.

No just: what is an estimated sustain combat mission rate for the PAF. A hundred combat mission per day would be no small feat I think for the PAF (if that is the case -- by extension AAF ... [fill in the blank ;-) ])

on night mission -- what percentage of the PAF order of battle is night mission capable -- I suspect this is a small number.

As an anecdote -- one of the people in the situation room on the OBL raid (who himself was for former f-16 USAAF pilot) thought it highly remote that the Pakistani Air Force could locate the US choppers at night.
