I rather look at what India has right now and not in 2015.
At the moment it has a few MKI. Large numbers of Bis and Bison. Lots of Mig23/27. Some Mig29 (oldest version) and Mirage 200H (old version even when having BVR).
Pakistan has lots of Mirages3/5. Major part is F7p and PG. A few f16 and Fantans. If you talk about 2010 (and not 2015) then it will have lots of BVR/HMS/Interlinked/IFR JF17's. Around 100 F16 with block 52 capabilities and probable around 38 J10's. All planes will have interlinks, HMS and decent BVR. Add to that A130 and Il76 tankers. Erieye and atleast one Chinese AWACS version.
The stated capacity is 7-8 JF-17 per year, how will PAF have loads of JF-17 by 2010, its only roughly 3 years from now??
Also, how come PAF will have 100 F-16's? How many F-16's does Pak have right now? and how many has it bought from the US...i dont mean the option of buying more, how many has it actively bought?
Also the MLU program has not been signed with teh US as of yet. We'r talking about the deals that have already been signed then.
Aagain, there was not been any deal regarding J-10, its speculation, no deal has been signed, and there is no tentative idea as to when it will be signed. As of now, the PAF is focussing on JF-17.
Same goes for Il-76(India already operates it) and HMS(india has it in MiG i think). They are not signed deals neither a tentative idea about when.
The MiG 29 has already been announced that it will go into upgrades to SMT stf i think. It has been been announced by HAL.
Mate, having interlinks is no big thing, if you are getting an AWACS, then you have to have interlinks, otherwise its useless!!, IAF already has it since long back. Getting a decent BVR is good, and AWACS is good, but thats about it.
And you forget, by that time, we too will have AWACS!
I don't mind comparing but if you are realistic then take either both sides now or both sides in 2010... And it needs to be seen when and if MKI will be the best fighter in the region. It is big and it is impressive but not Shiva.
Well...forget now or later, lets talk either about what it has now, or what it has signed or is just about to be signed(not preferable).
About MKI, there is no way to test it without a war. So lets stick to the stated capabilities. Its big and its bad, no point talking bad about a plane that the world thinks is first class. Agreed it is in small numbers now, but by 2010, if you talk about it we'l have roughly 130-140 of these babies. As you know the HAL has incurred extra expenditure so that the induction of these can be speeded up. They gave the deal to Russia also. The new deadline to induct 190 MKI's is now 2012!!, not 2014-15. So you can imagine, by 2010 also, we'l have decent numbers. Nothing below Rafales or F/A-18 E/F will be able to defeat/match the MKI. Obviously no point talking bout Typhoons, and others, they are in a diff league.
And What is shiva??
