The PAF has been not resting on its laurels, on the 27th of Feb the Air-toAir combat got the big headlines.
And rightly so, in the space of a day, the myth of the invincibility of the mki was shattered, as was the self belief of the IAF.
But the Air-to-Ground strikes by the PAF had a massive effect equal to, if not more impressive impact, the weapons used, were all in service.
But the PAF mindful of the changes in warfare has started the purchase and in house development of newer and more accurate standoff weapons.
1) new more accurate satellite guided bombs.
2) further development of family of ALCM.
3) more accurate and longer range laser guided kits.
4) new specific warheads for different targets.
Ie SEAD etc.
5) electro magnetic.
In conclusion, PGM's of the PAF put the fear of God into the high command of the IA, and the IAF $hit its pants and made it kill their own. The next gen is going to hit further, more accurate, stealthy, and more resistant to interception.
