Sir, first of all, thank you for all the patience you have shown and the detailed explanations you have given.
Presently, we are living in a situation where America and India are clamoring for war. Slowly, yet consistently, the grand plan is unfolding. Trump has thrown the gauntlet: bow down completely, or face attacks. The whole circus around Haqqani Network is a veiled, but direct warning to tow the American line completely, and unquestioningly. I guarantee this: if today Pakistan performs the following, the Haqqani network will disappear into thin air:
1. Dismantle our nuclear program.
2. Give up Kashmir once and for all.
3. Whittle down our armed forces, such that they remain only as a showpiece.
Note, none of this involves any action against a 'Haqqani Network'. After this, for good measure, they might divide us further into smaller countries such as Sind, Baluchistan, Punjab. KPK might be merged into Afghanistan.
Given this existential threat, we have the full right to at least discuss what it takes to reply to the enemy with such force that he will be left in multiple pieces, instead of us suffering such a fate. The good thing about such theoreticals is that they reveal gaps in capability. It shows young minds how much more we need to do.
Aerial warfare today, is a war of electronics and electro-magnetism. Gaining deep expertise in these areas is a matter of showing interest. I promise you, gather our brightest minds across the country immediately after Intermediate, and give them the task of acquiring deep expertise in electronics and electro-magnetism, both theoretical and practical. Within 5 years you will have hackers who can bloody Indian nose if hostilities escalate. We have the talent, they just need the right environment. The situation is bleak, but not beyond repair. What is needed is an optimistic approach.
Growler not within our reach? How do you think they are going to counter the Rafale threat? Although not at par with Growler, we do have F-16s with Wild Weasel capabilities. Pictures have been shared on the forum with golden canopy Pakistani F-16s. The upcoming Thunder B version and Block 3 will definitely be looked at from this point of view.
China won't allow airspace? They are openly defending the likes of North Korea. I know how much common people hate North Korea in the West. I have seen the hate first hand. If China is willing to defend NK, and an Indian attack comes full scale, China will be providing you much more than airspace. That's because, unlike our leaders and governments, the Chinese are proactive. They understand their own security lies in a secure Pakistan, and a strong North Korea.
