My bad. I had read somewhere that PAF Mirages too were facing spares shortages. As for your 'serviceman', there are far more respectable and knowledgeable Pakistani servicemen here than the one in question. No other comments.Secondly, the PAF's commanders decided that F-16 war reserve spares were being eaten into during the Kargil conflict. Mirage spares have never been an issue, Mirage III/5 is practically manufactured in Pakistan. Posting despite lack of accurate knowledge proves you're the one displaying blind patriotic jingoism. The likes of you should be removed from this forum because nobody can discuss anything with a know-it-all who has the nerve to call the words of a serviceman "jingoism", despite the fact that the above serviceman is merely responding to the know-it-all's own countrymen posting blind, jingoistic TRASH.
Sorry to offend you, and yes I am what you call an ignoramus. I am here to expand my little/meager knowledge.I would tell you how the Pakistani military intends to respond to Indian attacks, but its already obvious to anyone who knows anything about the PAF's arsenal of weaponry based on South African (and/or Chinese) technology so I won't bother, you already proved you're an ignoramus anyway.
There were far more complex geopolitical politics into play here than just simply firing a missile/dropping a bomb or fighting off bogies. Its beyond my comprehension to fully understand why IAF didnt attack despite having such an overwhelming capability to do so. Do you know why? IAF does not work on its own, its controlled by politicial masters in New Delhi and they better understand causality! What do politicians understand about military capabilities and yet they refrained. Why?Firstly, if I remember correctly, the InAF did NOT conduct any such strikes. Why is that? Surely they would not be scared of a response from the "inferior" PAF?
So they flew into Pakistani airspace but did not have the balls to attack? What on earth were they afraid of? Surely not the insignificant Pakistani military.
Source?No, but the PAF's F-104 Starfighters probably did the same thing back in the 1960s.
