Just wait few days and this same ACM will say we don't have enough fighter so we cannot fight a two front war......
Whats your insiders take on this ex?
The term insider is a misnomer,
One is a PAF viper pilot and the other is oddly an Ex-IaF mig-27- M2k jock. Both are family friends- go figure... or don’t.. Im broken between two countries.. anyway I dither.
Let it not be understated that this isn’t the bumbling migs IAF, this is a very effective fighting force with the newer asseys and newer blood coming online; but at the end just sheer size and asset limitations make the good chiefs claims bloated.
Moreover, regardless of surges- in any of the spike scenarios the surges will be met with surges. Much to the disappointment of Wikipedia copy paste famboys, the PAF has a lifespan of a out a week and will drain the IAF, anything less(surged or not surged) will actually keep the ratio well in favor of the PAF as it is can sustain extremely high tempos from day 1.
And that is the PaF, now lets come to the PLAAF; what the IAF has tried to do is use a small holding force in their simulated north assuming that the Chinese are going to wait to enter the conflict and then they’ll shift their supposedly “intact” forces to the north in such a scenario.
Bravo, apparently all the clear lectures and indications Pakistan has given for nuclear threshold is lost on them.
A PRIME condition for nuclear deployment is the PAF being compromised- there is hold or calculating there. The nuclear warheads will move; once that happens there is NO happy ending for India. Because Pakistan will cease to exist but the misery that awaits India will be worse.
We dont have a TATA or HcL or manufacting super power dreams galore, that wish for tomorrow lies in India; so if perchance the conflict drags ok beyond the 4-5 days then you already have lost the future.
But lets assume the scenario the IAF ran since that is what their hawk think tanks and pseudo analysts have prescribed; that is after taking this battering Pakistan asks China covertly for desperate help and China uses an excuse to launch an attack- then the supposedly “unscathed” IAF forces switch around to Launch an offensive north and against a mythical Chinese fleet speeding to save Gwadar and CPEC.
In all of this it is assumed that Pakistan no longer is putting up further attacks, not getting any other assets and assistance and has not deployed nuclear weapons because apparently the Chinese have assured us that they will give India a lesson.
Any scenario for training built on such fantasia cannot be considered realistic on any level except perhaps some sort of tactical and mobility verification.
Tag anyone you like since this aspect is important to highlight and repeat.
Someone tell MR B S Dhaona that Balloons don't shoot back but bullets and missiles kill .
These kind of claims will make some sense once the IAF manages to deliver.
And the Video in post~11 proves that the IAF doesn't have the confidence or experience to launch the SU-30s in formation.
Unfortunately that is not just the AM’s fault; he has been instructed by his fascist government to pump propoganda like nobody’s business.
