you are very good at making lists
. do you believe that the officers in Paf are stupid not to acquire bomber and air superiority fighters. i think they know better than us what to do and when to do. If common persons like us know about JH-7 B, SU-34,J-11 D and J-10 B then The Paf should know about it better than us. there must be some thing going on in paf about the jet fighters.
Hi,
Please don't AS-S U ME that paf knows better than you---they can be as illiterate about the subject matter as any one else can be.
Even in the united states military, there have been Admirals who wanted to cut down on the air force to build up the navy---then there were Air force Generals who wanted to cut down on the navy completely and have a massive air wing---and then was the army who wanted things run their way---and then there were the marines who thought that army is useless.
In happens in all the services every where in the world---. Incidently, in Pakistan---with the demise of the bombers---Pakistan air force was hijacked by the Fighter Mafia. The JF 17---the little plane than can---is the pet project of the Fighter Mafia in the Pakistan air force----.
Never forget that this is the same military whose commander in chief stated in the 1st gulf war that America beware---the Iraqis are a battle hardened army---they will do serious damage to the U S military.
Don't forget the aftermath of 9/11---there were those in the pak military that wanted to make another vietnam of the americans in Afghanistan----. There were many in Pakistan air force that were raring to have a go at the U S forces---.
So----just because they wear that uniform with the wings on it---does not mean that you put them on a pedestal.
You have to question them why they did what they did----the problem with many of you young men and adults and seniors over here is---except for the fancy stuff----you guys are illiterate about the subject matter.
You do not understand the need---necessity and the purpose----.
It is based on the same principal of why do you have DIFFERENT CALIBRE RIFLES in the military.
You have your MP5---what is that a 9mm----you have the .223----you have the AK47 7.62x39--you have the .308----you have the .338----you have .50 caliber.
have you ever thought about why do you have the .338 and .50 caliber rifles---.
It is to smash the psyche of the enemy---you have the ability to take a shot from such a far distance---that there is no sound of gunfire heard at the target---the .50 when it hits---it's basically an anywhere round----the kinetic energy in the bullet smashes into you with such a force---that alone kills the person being hit---the sheer panic that it spreads in the target area and the chaos that it creates---the feeling of insecurity that it creates---is the sole purpose for this rifle.
You can reach anywhere---you can reach every where----. That is what the mantra of the defense industry is.
You 155mm guns---they used to lob shell 15 miles away a couple of decades ago---now they can 35 miles away---now they have smart shells as well----you had MRL's that were good for 70 KM---now you have MRL's that are good for 150---200 KM------. In the past your MRL's could not hit a mountain at 70 KM---now you have smart MRL's that can pinpoint a target at maximum range----.
So---the question is---what is up with this range----why do we to increase the range---we do because we want to reach further into the enemy territory to reach it SOFTER spots---so that the enemy feels the pain and anguish of the war as you do----.
So----if the army has all these heavy weights that can reach the maximum distance under given conditions then why not the air force----why does the air force not have the heavy weights that can reach the maximum distance to do the most damage.
The question also arise----why does the enemy has all the heavy weights---. Why is the enemy dependent on all its heavy eight aircraft for combat----.
