Dear if India can destroy all our air bases within days by aircrafts, missiles, etc. then we also have the same capabilities.
And mind you that if long range fighters operate from far away airbases then they lose their effectiveness.
Also in a war ORBATs of both air forces will be evenly...
Just last week Norwegian AF has retired its 50 years old Falcon DA-20 EW aircraft. They have done some 25,000 flying hours.
We should buy them & we can immediately double our nos at very low cost and for short duration until our Gulfstream is operational & more are acquired.
Well they should remove the Kalma from the flag as when it is printed on football it gets kicked.
Also if protesters burn it then they will burn the Kalma.
It's a different world from the time in 1932 when it was adopted.
Excellent addition with low flying hours.
Now it would be possible to form a new squadron with 2 flights one each operating from Ormara & Gwadar.
If necessary more used Sea Kings can be bought.
First phase should consist of Mazar-e-Sharif - Kabul - Jalalabad - Peshawar - Kotri thru existing west of Indus or Indus Right Bank line which would need to be updated.
Second phase should be a line connecting Gwadar to Nokundi on Quetta - Zahedan line.
Third phase a new line be built from...
Mirage 3/5s will not be retired until the end of the 20's. Squadrons may be reduced.
JF-17 Block IIIs will replace all F-7P/PGs in all 4 squadrons. Total Squadrons may number upto 9 including 5 existing Blocks I&II.
Falcons will remain in 5 squadrons.
J-10CPs will add more squadrons...
Peshawar - DIKhan Motorway is a big mistake as they already have Indus Highway N-55.
Instead they should build Peshawar - Zhob Motorway which will pass thru Kohat, Bannu, N. & S. Waziristan & will provide more benefit to such areas & will connect to Quetta & Gwadar in a shorter way.
Similarly...

I don't think that Biden Administration would be so keen in enhancing relations & releasing the old and/or new CSF.
In case if they do then priorities should of acquiring soon to be retired Block 42s ( some +40), may be buying new 18-36 Block 72s, upgrade of 52s to 72 standard, missiles &...
More specialized aircrafts (probably based on same platform as Navy's Sea Sultan or other Embraer's small passenger liners) with EW, ESM, ECM/ECCM, SIGINT, COMINT, etc. capabilities must be inducted with TOT for 3 squadrons (one each for the 3 regional Commands).
We must have the capability to...
I wonder if there will be any customization of Rafales for UAE as previously they wanted uprated M-88 engines & conformal fuel tanks for extended range?
Any special electronics like Indian modifications or just standard F4??
UAE wants to hedge it's bet in USA & Europe. They are probably buying Rafales now to replace early model Mirage 2000s & F-16s which will be approaching nearly 30 years of service by the Rafales gains FOC in the service.
Later on Rafales can replace all Mirage 2000s while F-35s (which will sure...

Something like Su-57 intake but with DSI & well blended with the body & wider space between the engines with Swan type tail or Su-75 type arrangement.
Must have 1 or 2 fuselage internal weapon bays & side mounted bays for 1-2 AAM missiles each.
