Pakistan can make these S-400s sitting ducks.
Pakistan should try to get ToT of the Hwasong 8 from North Korea. If Pakistan can get the Hwasong 8 from North Korea we can destroy the S-400 batteries given we can locate them at their bases.
o ghanchakker, if you can locate an enemy then enemy won't be able to locate you?
HQ16 could have been used as it was operational, but ultimately it comes down to what is easier/faster? Is it better for them to send CAPs which were already airborne or wait for the jets to be in the engagement range of the HQ16. Bearing in mind the HQ16 (LY80AE) has a range of 42km. The weaponry IAF employed was the spice2000 and the crystal maze SOW. Crystal maze has a range of >78km.
I simply fail to understand that they entered in Ajk, and there I do expect SAM batteries at least. I might not really believe that they do not have it there.
