Hi couple of Q my friend if possible to answerRespected brother, I think there are no big surprises about systems but rather about speed of induction and operationalization. A photo will not show an AESA or its quality. What it will show is that PAF has x number of aircraft in operational use. That would allow the Indians to plan accordingly.
This is important as the Block III is the only aircraft that will be able to use the PL-15 to its full advantage. Basically, a PAF vs. IAF clash will turn into a turkey shoot.
In terms of OSINT, I would be able to predict how many the PAF has in service if I see the picture of even a single Block III - As PAC Kamra produces aircraft in batches, a single aircraft would indicate an entire batch being operational. That is 16-25 aircraft.
1 is it possible for block 2 to fire Pl15 even if they are not using AESA
2 can blk3 take on rest of the flight envelope of Pl15 from blk2 after they have emptied their missile slots for further guidance to the target
3 initially 8 to 10 AESA operated fighters will be sufficient to tackle between India & Pakistan
I think we have to consider the space in between these two countries also not enough ground or air space to cover
Your input will be appreciated
Thank you
