Its more an emmotional outcry. There is something called trust. how many bases in Pakistan are actively operated by PAF?...50%? lets be ideally optimistic, say 80%. Then there are two options left for PAF. Keep spending on the other 20% idle bases in hope for contingent requirements and creat a consistant drag on its resources. Or allow an allied to use that base. Have you ever considered how UAE trust PAF? by allowing their Multi Mllion $ toy to be flown by PAF pilot? who is taking more risk UAEAF or PAF? I dont know why do we get overly emotional on things that are irrelevent? What do you think UAEAF will bomb PAF bases? do a back stabbing? or what? its not a bad idea at all?Pakistan territory should be 100% under the control of Pakistan government. That includes FATA. That includes any air bases. That includes every square inch of Pakistan.
We pay and expect the PAF to defend Pakistan. On all sides. There is no option to outsource 'the western flank' to UAE or PLAAF or anyone else.
And, finally, I can't believe you just compared Pakistan to Tajikistan. You've got to be kidding!
Btw in Pakistan only salaried people like us pay for the spending, rest of the nation prefer to get the benefit of "freely ridable public good"
