IAF had Superior airpower compared to china in 1962

[harpoon]

or it was that IA lost the guts froze on its tracl to take lhr even when it has numerical superiority.

Whatever floats your boat. Our aim was to relieve the pressure in Kashmir ans we achieved it.

But that was due to PAF mainly playing a air to air role where as IAF had most of its missions around ground support, helping Indian Army its goals. And we all know how that went

India is in the middle and all you had to do was stand still and surround without firing a bullet. Its probably the easiest objective.

After loosing half your territory..who cares and where was this superior AF during Kargil.

This "superior AF" fights only when USA gives it full support with equipment and supplies. When the supplies go, the AF disappears too.

Please explain how did IA have numerical superiority ?

india had 2:1 superiority in its favour on lhr front.

Same goes with India. It is in the middle and all you had to do was stand still and surround without firing a bullet.

Dont blame us if your strategists suck at military planning ...

nope war was stalemate. and if its stalemate it means pakistan won coz being larger country with larrge army,AF etc you were unable to subdue much smaller country.

india had 2:1 superiority in its favour on lhr front.

But then you guys always say that 1 Momin Pakistani = 10 Indians.. So by Pakistani logic, India was outnumbered 5:1

 

[EzioAltaïr]

reason being kargil was not the war.its only india which calls it war to satisfy its ego.Kargil was of the siachin type skirmish.

Siachen had 300 Indian soldiers, and a roughly equal number of Pakistani soldiers.

Kargil had somewhere between 1000 and 10,000 NLI troops (with tons of support from the local ISI sponsored Mujahideen), and 30,000 Indian troops. Supposedly Pakistan had even moved its nukes to the borders.

Not a war?

So now PAF will only fight a war and not a skirmish.

1962 was also called stalemate by many historians. So by that logic, we won over China as they were more powerful.

Real logic doesn't work that way.

When deciding a victor, you don't say, "this guy was inherently smaller, let's give him 10 bonus points for that". Pakistan started a war with an army 3 times its size, it had to face the consequences.

Pakistan attacked.. Did not meet its objectives. In the end, India held a larger chunk of Pakistani land (almost 3 times of what Pakistan managed to capture of India).. But Pakistani logic says that Pakistan won

Is that the same logic that till 24 hours before East Pakistan fell, was telling Pakistani citizens that Pakistan was winning the War ?

Well its indians are trying to salvage the brownie points by posting article like IAF was superior to PLAAF hence india could have won the 1962 war if it was used.This thread is nothing but obscene indian ego massaging by indians hence it has to be punctured to show them the reality.opps not like the predicative non existing geopolitical game of india.....
