So the last thread was a mess , this one should be based on sources , childish rants not allowed .
provide sources for any claim you make . for example : "Iranian F-14s have 70 hour flight each year " is only valid when sources are provided .
this is the scheme i suggest , everyone can update it if they feel the need . Mention me , @Manticore or @TOPGUN to modify the OP .
Total number of personnel
Total number of fighter aircrafts , their generations / composition / upgrades
AWACS
Air refuellers
Transport aircrafts
Standoff weapons
BVRs
Helmet Mounted Systems & off-boresight missiles
Integrated Air Defense Network
Special mission aircrafts
Training
Exercises
Experience / kills
Industrial base
Future projects
Number of air bases
Nuclear capability
Once again please dont make nationalist illogical posts . off we go ...
I am not sure what is it that you want to prove, Pakistan equipment the numbers of every Type is the requirements of PAF on the other hand iran has the vintage and some basic new products to fulfill their requirements.
You will never get exact information on how many standoff weapons, BVRs/WVRs and certain other weapons/equipment information from official source.
Pakistan has some 500 AIM-120C5 AMRAAMs and SD-10 /A I don't have number but should be atleast 120.
Also check this thread.
Top 10 future weapons of pakistan
Iranian vintage F-14s have complete their life cycle, there is not much life left on them and are danger to the crew but iran is trying to keep them air worthy despite the opposite same is with all the other types like iraqi F-1 mirages, F-4, F-5, F-7..the only aircraft to have reasonable life left in them are su-24, su-25, mig-29. Even so iran is integrating some home made weapons on F-14 and F-4s it is of no help...
OP you opened thread you should be the first one to pen down information on IRIAF first.
