Historically PAF and IAF were born from the same outfit the Royal Indian Airforce,with RAF being their common mentor. But in the mid fifties PAF tilted its course towards the US,which proved to be correct decision as it brought about a paradigm shift in its training methodologies,flying skills,maintenance techniques and access to modern Jets. PAF was turning into a modern airforce that was innovative,aggressive,talented,effective and progressive. All these dynamic changes were seen as horrifying developments across the border,gradually but surely IAF and its ranks were sinking into a state of INFERIORITY COMPLEX. The first tangible results of PAFs transformation were witnessed in the war of 1965,where PAF completely outclassed its larger foe 1:5. The psychological cost of this hefty blow was enormous to the IAF,to add salt to injury the Global media was also singing in chorus glorifying PAFs supremacy. Just one quote among dozens..
"By all accounts the courage displayed by the Pakistan Air Force pilots is reminiscent of the bravery of the few young and dedicated pilots who saved this country from Nazi invaders in the critical Battle of Britain during the last war." Patrick Seale, The Observer, London, September 12, 1965.
The aftermath of 1965 led to the US sanctions on Pakistan resulting in the embargo of aircrafts and spares to the PAF. This setback did not deter PAF in seeking new horizons and excelling further in its goal to serve the motherland. In 1971 citing our internal feud the enemy tried its luck again and got a bloody nose with depleted PAF faring much better against IAF overall.
Till the early Eighties PAF maintained its psychological edge over the enemy. Then came the devastating news of the induction of F16s in the PAF, this caused PANIC ATTACKS and HISSY FITS in the Indian Establishment. Never in the history of mankind a bigger, but psychologically scared nation made such a massive fuss. This hue and cry still exists with full rancour even after four decades. The word F16 has become a household name causing SHIVER UP THE SPINE of the Indian Pilots.
To counter these initial forty jets the petrified Indians went crazy with their shopping spree and ended with a mix of some four hundred fighters across the globe. Like the Jaguars,Mig 21,23,25,27,29,Mirage 2000,Su30mki ,Harriers and others.
On the 26th of February 2019 the Indians made a half hearted attempt to strike inside Pakistani territory. It is well known in airforce circles and the media(NDTV) that .....
Pre-Balakot, The IAF pilots were shivering out of fear to the point they had to smoke cigs all night to calm their nerves . They couldn’t sleep a wink out of fear of not just the mission but also the reply that the PAF pilots might give.
They did indeed get a good reply from the Pakistan Air Force. One which will be written down in the history books to amuse the Pakistani future generations.
(IAF hitting our trees how dare they..)

Indian pilots have developed a habit of becoming POW's on a regular basis, although we dont mind reciprocating their intrusions with our traditional hospitality.
The IAF and its pilots are also a laughing stock in the World with lack of training,fitness and motivation they think by just flying the Rafale they can counter our boyz...
This Pilot Was Too ‘Big’ For The Rafale Cockpit That He Had One Custom Made For Him.

Definitely something to laugh about, right boys?
Our Pilots are a true depiction of Hazrat Iqbal's Marde e Momin.

Let me close this thread with a few international quotes on our pilots.
"Pakistan has one of the best, most combat ready airforces in the world. They have to; their neighbour to the East is huge, and the two nations, have a long history of hostilities. For Indian war planners, the Pakistan air Force is their worst fear. Pakistani pilots are respected throughout the world, especially the Islamic world, because they know how to fly and fight".
"As an air defense analyst, I am fully aware that the Pakistan Air Force ranks today as one of the best air forces in the world and that the PAF Combat Commanders' School (CCS) in Sargodha has been ranked as the best GCI/pilot and fighter tactics and weapons school in the world". As one senior US defense analyst commented to me in 1991, "it leaves Topgun (the US Naval Air Station in Miramar, California) far behind". -Sergey Vekhov May 1993 issue (pages 46-47) of Airforces Monthly, reputable UK-based airs defense magazine.
PAF is a professional force no doubt. Will have more respect for it if they actually made a difference to Pak war efforts or strategic goals.
