When it is satisfied with a single engine fighter, why does PAF need to go for a twin engine. I dont understand the logic behind this argument. F-16 is a decent bomb truck, JFT will make up for its munition load by using multi launch racks. Why do we need a fuel and maintainence thirsty monster when we can have a single engine aircraft doing a similar role. Twin engines are used to balance the TWR of heavy fighters, but ease of maintainence means that a single engine fighter will be able to make more stories when required and thus will be more efficient than a twin engine fighter in general
because PAF is not USAF, USAF does not pit its heavy bombers in active theater, they firstly wipe out all the potential threats in the area to give a clean go for their heavy bombers. PAF cant do this, thats why we dont need these lame elephants
