It doesn't work that way. You don't call escorts for a strike mission "a secondary defensive package" for whatever. Escorts are part of the group which has set out on that strike mission. without them the mission would not have been given the go ahead in the first place. no idiot plans a strike mission without escorts into a hot enemy territory swarming with CAP fighters and interceptors ready on the tarmac. when someone questions you whether f-16 were part of the mission, the answer is yes, not a no!
Let me guess, you are a better informed than our armed forces?
I know what are CAP missions. The entire mission was network centric engagement NOT like in the early 90s.
In conclusion, I know what I'm talking about. Regardless, the AIM-120C5 shown is NOT part of PAF inventory. Period.
