First of all PAF never was and never will be interested in heavy planes like F-15, yes now US wont allow F-15s to be sold to PAF but that wasn't the case during the afghan war. Then USA was read to give anything that Pakistan wanted and then we went for F-16 not F-15 because F-16 suits us...
No one can buy F-22, its not for sale.
A good choice indeed F-16 is one of the best. South Koreans already have F-16s so they wont need a lot of training and would easily adjust newer ones. Going for a new platform whether Su-30 or Gripen wont be a wise thing to do it would require training for...
350 km range seems to be fine if Pakistan can increase the range of this missile and make it supersonic if not hyper-sonic then is missile would become even deadlier. No doubt terrain hugging capability is the quality that makes Ra'ad stand out.
Source?
PAF has no need for J-10 now since MMRCA will not be a reality any time soon. PAF is using all its resources on thunder program which is a wise thing to do. As far as Block 2 is concerned its in production phase and there is a possibility that we might see the first 5 block 2 planes we have been...
At the moment whats important is that we get these helos and use them in the ongoing operations against terrorist. Money wont be the problem armed forces have the money and they buy what the need. People who are talking that funds are not available and therefore this deal is never gonna happen...
If you think that you are mistaken indian defense forces are always concerned about 2 front war and they are even training and planning keeping that in mind.
Using the nukes is not whats gonna happen India has no first use policy. If you think India can threaten Pakistan with nukes you are once...
Totally agree with you, induction is just the first step. Tejas has to travel a long way even after that and will see more improvements with the time.
But there is one thing I don't understand that why isn't IAF inducting Tejas? IAF can start training with the available aircraft and then...
I thought Tejas is an aircraft ready to be battle tested but with the problems you have quoted even after FOC it would need some time to mature and meet IAF's demands.
Btw when will it be given FOC?
First you say India is messing with Pakistan at LOC then you say India doesn't fire nor infiltrates terrorists. Then how my friend India is messing with Pakistan at LOC? By building fences? If that's the case I would like India to mess with Pakistan on Afghan border as well.
I am saying the same...
So you are saying it is India who starts unprovoked firing at LOC? Indian media wont agree with you they always say it was Pakistan who started it, so according to them it is Pakistan who is messing with India.
Btw China does the same with India in ladakh.
