"And what do you base your assumption on? There is no evidence whatsoever that Pakistani pilots are superior to Indian ones. Flying is not a genetic quality so you can't bring the martial races nonsense into this argument."
U need to search further even an Israeli AF commander who fought in the arab-israel was said thank god those pilots weren't egyptian that they were pakistan, alll u need to do is go and search, and even Chuck Yager said PAF was better, i don't have time to search right now but i will bring up the quotes from them and not from wikipedia.
History does not mean a thing. How many pilots who flew in '65 do you have flying in the PAF today? Does the PAF spend more on its pilots than the IAF? What specific thing does it have that the IAF doesn't?
The contract for the MRCA is expected to be out this month. And if it splits induction will be even faster. By 2015 we will have the bulk of the planes in our inventory. What 5th generation aircraft will be serving in the PAF that time? India is already working on a 5th generation aircraft unlike Pakistan.The MRCA deal is no threat to PAF or pakistan by the time all 126 MRCA fighters are delivered to the IAF, the PAF will be well into the procurement plan for the next generation fighter.
Difference being India's military budget is four and a half times that of Pakistan.Exactly what Kaiser said is what i'm trying to say, this will be a game back and forth, if India acquires something pak will get something to counter it better sams or Jets, this is always a back and forth game!
Just for the record India's spending on defence is less than Pakistan's as a % of the national budget.Why is india buying so many planes?
isnt it sad that people are dying of hunger and poverty, yet this kind of behavior is not understandable.
You see the MRCA contract states that manufacture of spares will take place in India. We will not have a spares problem.I am happy India is spending all that money on the military hardware. Firstly, it exposes the Indian design to dominate her smaller neighbours and secondly it illustrates her warmongering nature. I will be ecstatic if India purchases more and more US made hardware. During any war between India and Pakistan; US would put a ban on the sale of spare parts to both the countries and Pakistan would no longer be at the disadvantage which was the case during 65 and 71 wars.
India incidently has a lot of influence in the US. We are unlikely to be under any sanction.
