Nice for advertising catchlines, technically irrelevant. With AWACS,satellite and anti aircraft missiles India should not be worried about the new shiny expensive toy. Our AWACS will monitor every single take of and landing in pakistan within 70kms from our border. But let them enjoy it just as every other airforce does.
Every western country claims that their weapon or technology is best. Only during the war we will know how good they are. Even the much touted B2 bomber boasting stealth capabilities was shot down by serbia.
I don't think the B2 has ever been shot down! I believe the stealth jet that was shot down was the F117 Nighthawk and it was a very clever commander who figured some radar quirks and used that to target the aircraft. However, you forget how many hundred of sorties were flown and Serbia was decimated, which is why they pulled out and stopped the war. The actual action matched their catch-lines.
Though, we can assure you that we do respect the IAF and I agree it is a very powerful and professional organisation, one of the best!
