Training, training and only training that's where IAF needs to focus.
According to former air chief Sohail Aman in modern air warfare all Awacs,fighter jets,ground radars and pilot training work as one unit. A lethal combination which throws a lethal punch. PAF with limited resources and budget focus on quality not on budget and quantity like IAF. IAF does not have that lethal punch combination and that was evident on 27 February. Sohail Aman said ok you have more budget,you can buy rafale and sukhois but the question is are you able to train yourself properly on that platform and integrate it within that combination ?
In simple words i can buy a latest and most expensive 9mm pistol but how good is it if I don't know how to aim?
Second weak area of IAF is the maintenance of its fighter fleet. Russian jets need lot of maintenance and many indians su30 s are not combat ready because of poor maintenance. On 27 February India's mirage 2000 was not able to fire MICA missiles because of some technical fault i.e poor maintenance most probably.
