@Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Tank131 many thanks for clarifying the case of bombers in the case of anti-radiation attacks.
For the case of CAS at the tactical level, I think PA's current approach of attack helis combined with drones and decoys to confuse short range SAMs is best. I do not envisage the need of bombers for CAS. That said, the attack helis will need to be in considerable numbers. I think we need a dedicated CAS Corps with attack heli regiments over time. From an investment point of view, we need to balance out between tanks/artillery/helis because each one brings unique capabilities to the battlefield.
To summarize, the CAS role is best served by elements other than bombers.
