You are one being childish here. No one said to anything about a full scale war with 'super power'. Read carefully the post was about what possible defensive measures that can be taken with in given resources, to deter or to some scale counter the possibilities. The opening post very clearly...
Given the recent developments I thought make this discussion thread.
So here is my take on it:
Background
US blames Pakistan of harboring wanted terrorists, in particular Haqqani Network. Given the success of Zarb-e-Azb in NWA it is highly unlikely that haqqani network operates centers/bases...
A look at PAF fleet may give us idea of what PAF is looking for:
No 2 JF-17 Prev: F-7P
No 5 F-16C/D Prev: Mirage III
No 7 Mirage III ROSE-I
No 8 Mirage V
No 9 F-16AM/BM
No 11 F-16 AM/BM
No 14 JF-17 Prev: F-7P
No 15 Mirage V
No 16 JF-17, Prev: A-5C
No 17 F-7PG
No 18 F-7P [Probably will be...
The problem is not as simplistic as the Indians, Afghans and American or even Pakistan try to portray. Everyone is running after there own interests, which do not align.
Below is my take on it:
USA:
Americans have failed to control Taliban activity in Afghanistan. The generals in Pentagon...
I guess total stands something like:
6 TPS-77
5 YLC-2
6 TPS-43 (Acquired in 70s/80s)
10 YLC-6
45 MPDR-45/60/90
6 L-88 V3 Aerostat / TARS (Unconfirmed, but great addition to low level capability; with ability to operate at 25K Ft and range of 400Km)...
Interesting, since initially PNS-Alamgir was equipped with 2X4-Hapoon Launchers.
Even Badr had 2 x 4 Launchers in some pictures:
May be the launchers are configurable depending on mission or 4 cell launcher is intended to be used elsewhere(unlikely)
Hmm, following post suggests we did:

Other links suggest at least initial process of FMS:

Did pakistan get L88 Aerostat radars? There are notifications to congress from 2002, but can not find anything else.
If acquired how does that effect our low-level radar coverage?
Secondly did Pakistan acquire YLC-6 systems from China?
:tup:
Thanks for sharing the interview. But all the indications are that 3 AEW&C are flying.
One was seen flying soon after the attack.
Two were repaired as per the interview and other interviews in the past. Also images of only two of the remaining three have surfaced so far.
Some of the...
What are the roles of Army Air Defense and Air Force Air Defense? Shouldn't there be an ISAD(Inter-Services Air Defense)?
It appears currently Air Force Air Defense is mostly responsible of guarding its own assets like bases, radar station etc.
While army air defense has more wider...
As the above quotes highlighted in `bold` show you like ask for proof of everything.
i) So where is your proof; of allegations you made or tried to imply above(highlighted in`bold-red`)?
ii) And on same logic is there any proof that MS. Gullalai provided?
iii) Did she show the messages or video...
IK possibly also found bank slips for some of the payments he received.
Now as far as I know this is current situation:
1. Sussex Letter: IK played for them in 70s & 80s(already public knowledge), he received tax deducted salary for 6 months year(Hence not liable to pay tax in Pakistan). Exact...
So I think that adds up considering that book was published in 2014.
The 1 extensively damaged may have been deemed irreparable, hence the replacement.
ACM confirmed that the 2 damaged aircraft were recovered and are flying.
Good News, it seems PAF has regained or will soon regain its original strength of 4 AWACS + 1 Transport / Trainer Saab-2000.
PAF took delivery of another Saab-2000 AWACS in 2016. There was news of this delivery on Civil Aviation websites also. @Bilal Khan 777 confirmed that it was meant as...
