Yes, feb 27 was just a minor limited engagement, in an event of war, the air battle between PAF and IAF will be the largest the world has seen since WW2. Aircraft resources will deplete pretty quickly, IAF does have a numerical superiority and to counter that our aircraft need to have more go's at the enemy aka hard points. Imagine a scenario where one of our boys takes down 2 jets and gets a lock on a third......there u go, he doesnt have a missle left hence he gets taken out himself.@MastanKhan
Adding the fact that modern radars are capable of tracking and engaging more and more targets.
So it’s important to have the capability to have more hardpoints.
And the height from the ground should be risen a little bit in order to be able to carry bigger missiles easily like ra’ad.
If it to costly, then this kind of problem/requirements should be studied for AZM project.
I don’t know if it is true or not, but I read years ago that F-14 platform was made for a specific weapon : the phoenix’s missiles.
All of you are experts which I’m definitely not. So I could be wrong.
