Coming to think of it, PAF has radically changed in the past decade.
From A-5s to a backbone of 4th gen JF17s and F16s. The F7s have been reduced to a third of what we had, and our AWACS capacity has increased to 10 systems, indicating that the High Command wants all corners of the nation's airspace secure. Base Air Defense has also improved with Spada systems.
Missile tech like the Ra'ad and new purchases of ARMs and BVRs have also improved our strike prowess. We're looking for a 5th gen program seriously and have Block 3s rolling out soon, with a chance that the rest of the Thunder fleet gets AESAs too.
If we keep going on this course, we could be entering into a golden age for the PAF soon.
