no.
You did not read anything in Jang akhbaar. You were not born in 1981.

This is not how aircraft hours are calculated. We cannot simply divide the figure on JF-17 inventory. If the news is true, the major chunk of these hours will belong to Block 1s from OCU squadrons. Aircraft stationed on ADA sit there sometimes for days. Until someone feels the aircraft needs...
Oh I'm sorry, did someone step on your tails? So much fury and for what... HAL? :D
Allow me to disabuse you (bhakts) on the subject's illusion. And to rub some salt in your would I would start with Sitara IJT project that fell flat on its face. Just like the rest of the programs such as Arjun &...
While the HTT-40 constantly fails test trials thus delaying the induction timeline well beyond 2025. From HAL's consistent track record, its going to be 2030 until the second squadron stands.

its a bad example of delusion. It is merely routine.
Delusion is, Bhakts like you clapping and tweeting about IAF reaching karachi. Only to be given a shut up call by AHQ Delhi that nothing of that sort happened . Thats delusion. Lol.
I have my own affair with the OP. But I will squash and...
It will be a mistake to think that this is a result of something Pakistan did. Or even India had a change of heart. This is all optics to get aligned with US on China. Biden Administration does not want to deal with the kind of problem child India has become. For better or for worse, US needs...
Scorpene subs can launch MICA SLAM from a considerable depth. The missile is inside a torpedo-like casing and as it submerges, it opens up and the booster is activated. You're right in a way that it is primarily for ASW assets. But I cant imagine PN vessels not doing anything about a strike...
Subs do not operate in silo's. When a frigate knows a package is incoming, a sub would know too. The systems are fairly integrated. These are not the subs of 1971.
High flying Mirage 2000s will not even get a clue of a loitering sub. A couple of SAMs later and the strike package is already on...
Subs work in mysterious ways. They remain hidden and are extremely difficult to track. Historically, PN subs have been targeting IN assets that have been en route to Karachi. Also, Karachi is much farther away, any overflights over arabian sea will also be met with PN's surface vessels with...
Some are on QRA 24/7, piloted by IPs/senior sqn ld's. Even though Bholari is supported by units from Shahbaz and Masroor, It currently acts like a FOB surrounded by vast deserts. It has given more pain to IAF's units at Bhuj AFS that acts as a FOB for No.15 sqn (Su's) based out of Sirsa. The...
