Has PAF managed to reduce threats posed by IAF?

[Jungibaaz]

post 1965 IAF has always been at the forefront of inducting some of the best aircrafts of their times. PAF has only followed IAF as a counter measure.
when u follow someone u will always be 5-10 yrs behind....
by the time PAF will finish with their JF_17s block 2, FC-20 and stuff ..India will have FGFA,another game changer...

India's real threat does not come from Pakistan anymore

unless your planning on having FGFA before 2015, it's not possible and please don't worry we will have an answer to that too.

HI GROWLER, Here is how i see it:


It cannot be said with certainty that PAF never had BVR till 2008, yes may be not in 90's.
Therefore the perception of proportion of advantage has to be re-calibrated.
It is sure since the induction of JFT situation has changed dramatically and is also reported by various defence magazines.
Looking at future time line of developments PAF clearly edge out India by 2014.
1- All PAF will be BVR enabled.
2- 300 JFT incl. blk2
3- 18F-16 blk52+46MLU
4- Air-refueling facility
5- 12 AWACS system (redundant)
6- armed UAVs
7- medium to high alttitude SAMS
8- Ready to induct FC-20/J-xx

While Indian side:
1- migs will be obsolute
2- will be in the process of replacing its BVR.
3- less AWACS
4- MRCA will be a total stranger for InAF.
5- S-300 will not be most advance.

What will be relevant in InAF; mirage2000,mig-29 & SU30. Those can be balanced out collectively by F-16 and JFT.

my only concern is the period between 2011-2014.

in this regard, i actually, endorse Mastan Khan's theory about UAE mirrage-2000.
i think PAF shall delay the order of FC-20 till 2015 and buy UAE mirrage as interim solution.
it may not be technologically advance than FC-20 but PAF already had infrastructure to support that a/c, hence transition will be smooth.
By that time i expect Chinese engine to be matured and powerful enough.

What's the yearly production rate of JFT? Current rates and in coming years?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

45 + 18 new...+ 18 more on table.....16 f-16 sanctioned in 90s were also returned..we have lots of UAVs and stop using wikipedia.

By 2015 we will be having all 250 JFT,FC-20 will have AESA and in the end total to about 150 as a countermeasure to mrca.

JXX or someother 5th gen to counter pakfa.

25 .... PAC is adding more production units... both PAC & CAC manufacture them also.

we are hell bent on the fighter aircrafts, quantitatively and qualitatively.
but things are more complicated then it seems cause now these days sams and awacs are games changer.

awacs on the both sides will give awareness in AFs which was never been before which means lots of BVR showdown. current war tactics are not the same as it was 30 years ago. element of surprise is lost thus will become war of attrition or superior technology will emerge as dominant.
I seriously doubt that Indians will be able to achieve air superiority in spite of their numerical and technical advantage unless they pull something out of the hat like AWACS killer and high tech anti radiation long rage missiles.

many pakistani presume that indian training is inferior but currently the kind of training and exercise they are getting in this tech dominant environment will make them better then their counter parts. many will differ from me and they have right to do so.

War is not a joke, and with deployed thermo-nuclear city killers it is even less funny, a full scale war - is terrifying.

LCA testing is completed and there was never a prob with it and it has performed excellently and by next year ready to get clearences

dude...............seriously??...............

guyz guyz i get it now! hes just joking arround! let him be......nice one Unicorn
