The fact that after nearly 50 years of independence Bangladesh's GDP is still 20% smaller than Pakistan raises a lot of questions. Bangladeshis need to ask their govt the answers to these questions. Why is it that Bangladesh's GDP is not at least 30% or 40% more than Pakistan's? I will list...
Why does US make such a big deal out of land attack capability of Harpoon? Years ago they accused Pakistan as well of altering their Harpoons to be able to attack land targets.

Anyways where did you get this image from? Would it be...

Warfare is all about mobilization. If you can only bring 5 soldiers in time to the frontline when Pakistan brings 10, it doesn't matter if you have 100 soldiers waiting back. 2002 crisis was perfect example of how important mobilization is. Indian forces took months to...
Pakistani stand-off weapons can also target every relevant corner of India, especially the FOBs that India would need to target Pakistan. And Babur's range is only going to get longer..
Of course its a threat to Pakistan. Every single Indian plane is a threat including the vintage Mig-21s. The point is how will we deal with this threat.
I think PAF has closed the gap greatly with the IAF since the 1990's. Can you imagine if we went to war in the 90's? PAF didn't have a single...
Not being able to beat rebels does not mean they are not able to fight against conventional military. US hasn't been able to beat taliban and lost in vietnam, that doesn't mean they will perform poorly vs conventional threats.
This is so stupid. Why would the Navy need to pay for an aircraft all over again?
Were you rejected by the PAF or something? You seem to be carrying a personal vendetta against the air force.
We don't need to imitate anyone. Pakistan Army Aviation became independent in 1958, US Army Aviation began in 1983. We are facing a massive threat to the east and are therefore in a unique situation so there is no point in not being creative.
Still quoting an example on that topic. Chinese Navy...
No need for a new academy, Navy pilots are already trained at Army Aviation School, so I don't see why they cant be trained at PAF school. As for AWACS, if PAF is going to dedicate an AWACS to maritime operations, then they can simply transfer the plane to navy. Lets be honest, no matter how...
I don't think you can carry more than 2 AShMs on JF-17 conformal fuel tanks or not. Besides conformal fuel tanks cannot be dumped and effect a plane's dogfighting capability.
But PAF won't be able to perform Naval operations as effectively as Navy itself. If Navy flies its own fighters, it will be able to coordinate and execute operations better.
