Come on. such posts leads to further baseless arguments. We all have to admit that IN is not a joke infact PN at this stage is a joke. our frigates, naval combat jets are no match for today's IN. RAAD is not the answer to every solution thats why we have a dedicated AShM to be launched from air which are exocet and harpoon and by no means their role will be taken over by a land attack cruise missile. Mig-29 is gonna be a major threat to PN from now on up to 3-4 years until they dont have a new MRCA of their own. carriers dont move alone infact they are escorted by a huge surface fleet including subs and frigates.
No plan for building a new air base in gawadar for now even if it is planned now it will take up to 5 years. and just to let you know the topic is about IN Mig-29K. does Pakistan have somthing like that? NOPE. K is a dedicated naval attack fighter meaning it can take out enemy sea targets more effectively then the latest block 52+ that PAF is going to have. and again. RAAD is a land attack CM not a AShM and only exocet and harpoon can fill that air launched AShM role not RAAD.
hey buddy. then why do Indians require Mig-29K? why not use the Mig-29A? both have same design both fly same.
I am not in favor of M2K9 for naval attack role but the latest mirage-2009 leaves old IAF M2 far behind. IAF dumped the upgradtion plan for its M2 fleet in favor of the russians mig-29.
You dont require "MASTER PILOTS" to drop PGMs LGBs on bunkers when their is no electronic warfare, AIR, Ground threats around.
