^and just at the right time - i really like the 'integrated' approach which means that the PAF Doctrine written in the late 90s is being put to the test in this excercise. this excercise shd cost the defence budget to the tune of US$50-100m.

Good to hear that. But we need PAF to grow not just in terms of professional excellence but in numbers too. In case of a very possible US-India joint attack under the excuse of defeating extremists or Taliban or jihadists or fundamentalists etc etc, we can't expect even the best of our jets and pilots to be able to maintain air superiority. We need atleast 150-200 new J-10s or similar 4th-5th generation aircraft to defend our skies better.
