Balance Of Air Power In South Asia

[Windjammer]

WOW thanks! Let's see, an F-15 armed with Sidewinder and AMRAAM? JF-17 is Block 1 (no inflight refuelling pipe on the right) unarmed?

I can see you are being tight-lipped so I won't drill for details

Dear that's an F/A18 Super Hornet, here is JF-17 with the F-15 Eagle.

You know i do have some Indian friends.

Now I know . Nyways thanks for sharing.

 

[ravi gupta]

Yes i agree, jf 17 is ultimate weapon until next century.. balance tilted towards pakistan, since the induction of jf-17.. i guess jf 17 locked hundreds of time.. even these jets are on ground, jf 17 able to pick from hundreds of miles away.. happy..

Sir,You forget to mention there super duper pilot on JF-17,Rafael and Sukhois have no chance at all.

Pakistan Air Force has always been superior in respect to the quality and when we come to quantity, the crown goes to our neighbors.

This is really bad to see every single thread being hijacked by fanboys and it becomes a troll fest.

How do you define the "Balance in air power" is debatable.
But in layman terms more quantity and edge in technology is a winner.

 

[danger007]

i wonder then why is this thread still running then

Am surprised too.. jf-17 is answer for every future induction too .. till 2116, they don't need another jet..

True, every thread descends into garbage.

thing is pakistanies seek only war and destruction but indians seek peace and development ..................

There was ABSOLUTELY no reason for me to read anything after this. What can be a bigger lie?
The whole have witnessed the war mongering and chest thumping, The irresponsible attitude of the Indian government fuels by an absolutely stupid media and emotional and volatile public which were fooled by a false sense of grandeur brought the entire region to the brink of war. Thankfully there were some sensible minds who prevented that from happening.
So my friend, i understand how you are a patriot and how that makes to say things to favor your country but at least be a bit sensible and do not say things that people will ridicule!! That is not serving ones country!

I would also add the lay of the land as well, how vulnerable are the bases to missiles or air strikes.

 

[Arsalan]

Am backing your claim bro.. JF-17 lock.....................

If you have nothing positive to contribute there is no need to post dear. I mean, you do not get paid by the post now do you?

PAF is paying the price for

1. pakistans failure to keep,pace with Econmical growth versis india , Today the GDP ratio 1 to 8
2. Pakistan Govt failure to retain USA has its single most important ally in South Asia. USA is now at best neutral or worse titlting towards india.
3.Pakistans failure to maintain the trust and faith of major international players be it the arabs or the EUROPEANS.


The price is being paid by the military in partuclar the air force and navy who simply cant TURN 1 into 8 ( the gdp ratio gap)

This is why today PAF is outnumbered 3-1 in bvr fighters overall ,,,,,,and has a current scenario where 78 falcons will have to face off 220+ su30mki AND 70 thunders over 150 mirage2000/mig29 combined........

THIS GAP or ratio will keep getting wider

It will be very very interesting to see PAF attempt to counter Rafale even a token order of 36 planes and indeed their attempt to overcome 5 regiments of S400

This is not boasting or rubbing egg in faces ITS SIMPLE reality.

As much as you try to portray your true image and false achievements, the fact is like the Tejas which is running over two decades behind, your MMRCA requirement is over a decade old and will not be fulfilled for another five years, while your required squadron strength of some 45 squadron has dwindled to 30 odd units where as PAF has increased strength to over 20 squadron, your spearhead fighter is only 60% servicable and above all, while PAF or Pakistan is exporting both trainer and combat aircraft, your country has to import even the basic training platforms......now go and make an omelette.

 

[cerberus]

your spearhead fighter is only 60% servicable and above all,

Based on 2010 CAG report DATA

Based on 2010 CAG report DATA

Just like Tejas, you are running well behind time.

60% serviceability is the average across all air forces globally during peace time. No air force has 100% serviceability anywhere not even USA ............... Do you know ha;lf the PAF fleet is grounded at any time including the 30 yewar old falcons and the 50 year old mirages.

Tejas may fail BUT at least india has options LIKE buyimg the entire F16/70 production programme for $billions

Yet PAF could not buy 8 F16/52 ................WHY they could not find the funds

SO ................look what happened ..................rusty old F16 block A/B from the mighty jordianian air force
