INDIA’S HOSTILE BMD PROGRAM AND PAKISTAN’S SECURITY OPTION – OPED

[Friei Indien]

Pakistan is already working to make its Nuclear Weapons delivery systems more potent, advance and diversified since Mush time, Pakistan's capability is not where it was in during 99 Kargil or 2001-02 standoff time because all concerned knows what India is doing and what we have to do in our limited resources to counter it, to make sure that India don't get overwhelming military capability over Pakistan.

enter in arms race with us and you will be bankrupt

Pakistan is not in arms race with India at all, its India having one with China in which India will be the loser.

Pakistan is following minimum deterrence requirement and always try to purchase or build weapons and implement strategies which make strategic impact in war and that is not expensive to maintain specially when you have ally like China.

That so called junk from Jordan can make your MKIs run for their money and other then that all current fleet of IAF is almost equal in terms of tech.

Those are not Block-15 birds, those are ADF fighters and they can carry AMRAAMS which means they are already capable of handling the threat posed by IAF and still PAF have some MLU kits left if they don't use them for these then you can understand how potent they are.

if they are so potent, why jordan sold them at throw away prices? have you ever people thought about it, there are no free lunch in the world. infact your f-16 blk 52 are far inferior to MKIs

The despatches, from the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, indicated that the deal was, among other things, meant to assuage Pakistan's fears of an “existential threat it perceived from India.” The diplomatic cables, accessed by The Hindu through WikiLeaks, suggested that the purpose of the sale was to divert Pakistan's attention from “the nuclear option,” and give it “time and space to employ a conventional reaction” in the event of a conflict with India (151227: confidential). Privately, however, the U.S. acknowledged the “reality” that the F-16 programme would not change India's “overwhelming air superiority over Pakistan.” In fact, the cables bluntly assert that the F-16s would be “no match for India's proposed purchase of F-18 or equivalent aircraft.”

Those birds were provided from Jordan because US Pentagon was not able to provide jets through EDA to Pakistan due to good lobbying done by India, don't trust every cable because in those cable US ambassador to Pakistan wrote that F-16s are essential for WOT as PAF were using them in it, do you think that PAF can't strike TTP without F-16?? although it extend their capability to do that.

One more thing, ask a professional unbiased IAF pilot how easy it will be for them to face 100+ F-16 all in Block-50/52+ configuration and he will tell you that its like facing hell. There is a reason that PAF want 100+ F-16 ASAP and US is trying to slow down the speed of this process although they don't want to deny birds.

If those F-16s were so useless against IAF & IN then whey India lobbied to block sale of HARM Missiles and integration of Harpoons?? it just tells how potent F-16s still are when comes to block-50/52+ & MLUed.

First thing.. PAf don't have 100 F 16 that too block 52... Neither you can afford to buy them nor you can send them together... You should think properly before suggesting him anything.. The fact is we evaluated most advanced F 16 platform.. That F 16 IN blk 60.. And F 18... There's he'll lot of difference between those jets with downgraded F 16 in PAf...

childish analysis. rebut the article with proper argument. as for your info, PAF is using f-16 to attacks TTP. you don't have 100 + f-16. if 100 blk 52 yes, serious threat, but not against 50 + vintage f-16.

 

[TOUQER]

but guys don't forget that now india is compairing himself with china not pakistan that's why they pursuing their programes in speedy way

 

[Cheetah786]

LOL.. We have enough capability to stop all your missile in Air... A nuclear attack even if blocked by our BMD would result in a nuclear retaliation and would result in the annihilation of Pakistan.

And then you will stand at the borders with a fan to block the radiation from taking out parts of India.

before responding to a post try to read it carefully and then understand it.

PAF's goal is to get 100+ F-16 all block-50 standard and they will get it, if you think those F-16s are vintage then your M2ks are more vintage and outdated then those F-16s.

Anyone with even cursory knowledge of such systems knows that BMD can be beaten with ease (by a country with even rudimentary missile program)...... furthermore, geographic location of Pakistan and India, and the fact that any such systems will be mated with nuclear warheads and accuracy of such systems being least of the problem, and assured mutual destruction in case of a strike, makes Indian BMD systems pointless vis a vis Pakistan...... Pakistan, at least for the foreseeable future has nothing to worry about, as Pakistan is no Gaza and India is no Israel.

Only thing Indian BMD is good for is, protection of certain strategic locations, that too to a degree..... it's no "iron dome", heck, even iron-dome isn't iron-dome!

No, it is actually not. The BMD will be unable to protect whole country from a nuclear strike. But, if you able to protect your nervous system and brain, then somehow in the end you will survive in a war.
