Hi..
Hi,
First of all welcome to the forum----if you want to say something---say it like a man that you are--say it with confidence and say it with conviction. You have wasted many years of your time sitting quietly on this forum--the days of the quiet man standing in the corner disappeared some 30 plus years ago---now----if you don't say your piece in time----then better old your breath.
But then I don't see anything interesting in your post---except for protectionism----well I don't blame you or that.
The terms like 'my two cents' and 'arm chair generals' take the conviction away from your post---.
Next--don't take the indian operators and planners as idiots---don't take their strategists and game players as any less than highly efficient---.
The su30 operator has 10 plus years of experience in their frontline aircraft---o sell them short will be deceiving.
After all these wars in the last 22 years----every nation that has some kind of awakening has learnt that the game of warfare has changed----.
Air dominance---air superiority---control of the skies starting from 00 hours + is the name of the game---if you have numeric superiority---better strike capability---you will use majority of those assets available in that arena at the first go--specially facing a smaller--numerically lesser and technically inferior air force---on the very first day---the first 8 to 12 hours in our case would be extremely crucial----.
IAF knows that if it can make a break through on the first 12 hours---the game is over----that is the what the iaf has learnt from u s air force strikes in iraq.
but brother we can,t live in fear.
i am not obsessed but truth is we are not that mush weak as we have assumed about ourselves,
if we were that much weak US or india or israil would have attacked us since long.
i confess that most of our nation is corrupt and infatuated with false believes but still element of hope is there because of few patriots who still believe in their country and prefer national interests over personal interests.
if it were in my hand i would have invested most in education , specially research based education because this theoretical ratta system has destroyed our innovations.
i am dead sure an honest and capable government can change the course of our nation even in single term. regards
Hi,
You are correct---when your position of strength from the begining is of minimum deterrence---then what kind of reserves that you have that you will fall upon---if your minimum deterrant air crafts failed to do its job. When you start a war from a position of weakness----there is only one place that you will be going and that is down----.
What do you kids do when you want to go beat up on other kids----you fight them from a position of weakness or what----either you attach yourself to a stronger gang or make peace with them----.
And that is why I keep wondering---why are the things that you people do for your protection in your daily lives are so very different than the things that yu want for pakistan.
that,s what i believe , we can,t live in fear ,
actually we are limited in our approach and lacks innovations, we have many fears, and these fears have killed out killing instincts. We are in paranoid state and fear from everything, we can come out of this fear only if we develop self believe and with
proactive rather than
reactive approach.
we need to think and believe beyond fears and beyond limits only then we can be powerful and prosperous.
