Pakistan Air Force a 'role model' for others: ACM Sohail Aman

[I S I]

Better role models needed on Government social and political level.

Has a nation Pakistan has performed poorly in these areas.

So many aspects Pakistan is falling so far behind their natural rivals

In this 21st century look at rising aspiring powers of your ilk

Follow the likes of indoneasia not the North Koreans

now if PAF had so called air supremacy over IAF in 1965 then why did they had to agree to unconditional ceasefire at UNO and then signed tashkent declaration

it's so ironic that whenever 1965 topic comes up, Indians used to blabber about Pakistan's air superiory b/c of USA planes & tech & what not blah blah blah & now when the argument changes, you comes up with opposite that we did not have air superiority. Make up your minds.


Or whatever sails your goat.

India on 4th, For crashing an aircraft every two months? Quite understandable.

Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman on Saturday said Pakistan’s anti-terrorism strategy is a “role model for others” and plays a ”pivotal role” in dealing with conventional threats and non-state actors.

Addressing the seventh Dubai International Air Chiefs Conference in Dubai, he asserted that Pakistan’s anti-terrorism strategy is not only vital in counter-acting threats, but also a role model for others, according to Radio Pakistan.

In its many anti-terrorism operations, the air chief marshal further asserted the air force has avoided collateral damage on many occasions.

Earlier, Pakistan military was ranked as the 11th strongest military in the world, as per a Credit Suisse report on globalisation.

Ranked seven spots after India’s military, the report gave Pakistan a final military strength score of 0.41. The report also revealed that Pakistan’s active personnel number stands at 710,000 and has it more weaponry than Germany, Australia, and Canada.

role model for what ?

Oh so Israel's Puny country has more powerful airforce than India ??

Israeli air force is extremely potent - well equipped, well trained and well motivated. They have the advantage of access to the latest American technology and a sophisticated domestic industrial base.

This list is a joke.
I can accept Israeli Air force better than India. They have the technology.
But I cannot accept Indian air force is stronger than China !!
I am not being anti-nationalistic, just realistic.

Good job by Pakistan but shouldn't others call you a role model ?

Role model in counter terrorism operations specially and in operational readiness normally.

The Pakistani air force does not have attack helicopters and light attack aircraft that are ideal for counter-insurgency operations. Using a F-16 to bomb an insurgent hideout is an overkill and waste of resources. You signed deals for four Mi-35 choppers recently.

Only choppers cannot win a war against terrorism. You cannot simply use them 1000 kilometers away. Every weapon have its own role and its own limitations. F-16s, JF-17s, Attack helis, drones are all different knifes used to cut different parts of a body!

Pakistani air force in 1965 was relatively good thanks to American military equipment & funds. Dependence on Uncle Sam is a double edged sword if you want to wage a long war. This is assuming you can afford it.

The real question the Pakistanis dodge is that how come it did not change the outcome of the war in 1965 and 1971 ? Israeli air force pulled a number on Arab ground forces in 1967, 1973 and 1982

Because the Army Aviation Corps flies 55+ Cobras & 1-2 Sqds of Fennec light attack helis... Unlike Indian airfirce - PAF doesn't operate "gunships" but the PAA does ..

But PAF plays a vital role by providing air support (COIN operations) & recon .. JFs & F-16s bombing the shyt outta lased targets with PGMs n JDAMs... Aswell as picking up movement of militants through systems like FLIRs and UAVs (although army helis are used equipped with FLIR's and uses UAVs)..

I do not know of any counter-insurgency where f-16 style combat aircraft were the primary platform
what is the distance between pakistani counter-insurgency sites and Peshwar air base ? assuming Peshwar is the closet base

See i know your brain doesn't work properly but atleast you could tried your best to understand that i was comparing PAFVsIAF k/D ratio, not war results.
