IAF bombshell: Difficult to tackle China-Pak threat

[Oldman1]

There is no way India or any other country can come up on top in a two front war, it is probably never going to happen....

Its feasible. Done before during WW2 when U.S. along with allies fought in Europe and Asia with two oceans in between.

Germany and Japan were crushed between a western force and an eastern force. Germany was crushed between the UK and the US on the left and the USSR on the right. Japan was crushed between China on the left and the US on the right. India would likely not be able to win if crushed between Pakistan on the left and China on the right.

Setting off alarm bells, a senior IAF officer informed the Parliamentary standing committee on defence that a "collusive threat" from China and Pakistan would be difficult to tackle but the air force was prepared for it.

"We have made plans in case of contingency-III (two-front war)," he said, adding that India had upgraded its policy against China from dissuasion to deterrence.

This is the key.. Defending two front war is difficult, but can be done..
Basically IAF is telling the GoI that it needs more funding. This is a typical strategy adopted by armed forces all over the world to over estimate the threats and under report their own strengths, so as to get more funding for their big boys toys..

With 150 JF-17 on order and 250 planned, PAF is closing the quality gap fast. Besides, F-7 or Mirage III can take on Su-30MKI in combat and come out on top. In 1965 PAF F-86 Sabres, older and less performing compared to IAF Hunters, managed to gain the upper hand.

Does IAF really have 51 Mirage 2000?

F-7 and Mirage III can take mki haha you are a biggest troller I've ever Engaged up with. As for Paf F-86 in 1965 champ Please go and Check your facts Paf F-86 Sarbres are Have Missile firing capability they are During the 22-day Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 the F-86 became the mainstay of the PAF, although the Sabre was no longer a world-class fighter, since fighters with Mach 2 performance were now in service. Many sources state the F-86 gave the PAF a technological advantage. PAF scored 91 air kills in 1965 which were primarily due to this aircraft.In the air-to-air combat of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the PAF Sabres claimed to have shot down 15 IAF aircraft, comprising nine Hunters, four Vampires and two Gnats. India, however, admitted a loss of 14 combat aircraft to the PAF's F-86s. The F-86s of the PAF had the advantage of being armed with AIM-9B/GAR-8 Sidewinder missiles whereas none of its Indian adversaries had this capability. Read this

Despite of this The F-86 proved vulnerable to the diminutive Folland Gnats which proved to be fast, nimble and hard to see. The IAF Gnats, given the nickname "Sabre Slayer," claimed to have downed seven PAF Sabres.

The US had major allies that were regional powers in their own rights, the USSR, UK, US can never be compared to the India of today with regard to military prowess....
