I am not defense analyst or anything close to that but humbly .....
How would CAS help if your own HQ is under attack? And which jet PAF could have sent to bomb the hell out of FC HQ?
Yes may be out in the open in mountains where the enemy has the advantage and is out of reach of your fire, taking cover of terrain and is easily inflicting harm on your troops ........ but in close proximity of your own troops and in a population center where you have number strength and are defending your own installation?
We are not fighting in a foreign land ........ and this would be a sign of weakness and propaganda tool in the hands of our enemies ... "Pakistani jets bombing their own towns". And God forbid can't even imagine the fallout of any collateral damage in all this.
if you notice i wrote "or is it PAF does not want to participate in cross border strikes" what i meant was to strike the place where it's originating from, i do understand that in CQB situation there is nothing much airforce can do and for that our Cobra's were in the sky as deterrent or to find the cowards from sky, i admit that by using CAS term i might have created confusion, kindly accept my apologies on that.
