No more <5 generation aircraft. A jf 17 can do many things. Operation that can't be done by a jf 17, can be done by 2 jf 17. Operation that can't be done by 2 jf 17 can be done by 400 jf 17s.
Modern Air to Air combat has 4 main pillars:
1: BVR superiority
2: ECM
3: Coordination
4: Force Multipliers
IAF Failed at all.
1: IAF BVR was inferior to PAF BVR (R-77 < AAMRAM)
2: Their ECM failed (mig 21 shot down)
3: Coordination Failure (Mi 17 shot down)
4: No AWACS support at the time of need.

And our pilots are being trained by Hassan Siddiqui and Noman Ali khan
