I bet my cat can come with a better comeback.
Then bring your cat here because you are just making moot points.
Did you ever ask yourself in the mirror how stupid of a statement you have passed? I bet the mirror will shatter from the level of your stupidity. When you are participating in educated discussions try to leave your ego behind and your delusional ladoos in your fridge because at the end of the day you are just going to look dumb. So how did IAF managed to maintain air superiority over PAF when IAF was losing more planes in skies and did not even completely destroy a single freakin PAF air base.
Lol our dozen B-57 inflicted more damage to IAF bases then what 400+ IAF planes could do to PAF bases. and only 1 was lost to enemy fire.
Is that an excuse for losing the war in all 3 theaters - on ground, air & sea?
Did your uncle tell you that story?
In 1965 PAF mainly had F-86 which were 1st generation fighters compared to IAF which had superior Hunters Gnats
LOL Huntur & Gnat were subsonic aircraft that were primarily tasked for ground-attack missions in both 1965 and
1971 wars, as were Maruts. While F-86 was a transonic air superiority platform even at that day. It's mostly a story of
apples & oranges.
and mystere iv and all three were 2nd generation
Mystere IV was bought in 1954 and most of them were phased out by the time '71 war happened, Only small
numbers remained and the fleet was completely out of service by 1973. And oh, Mystere IV was a first-generation
jet just like F-86, which idiot told you they are 2nd generation?
First-generation jet fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and if we count Mig-21 which were 3rd generation
Early MiG-21s (which is what IAF got then) were considered 2nd generation, it were models that came much
later (like BIS version) which could be termed 3rd gen. You have the least possible information about any historic
aircraft or war, it is funny to see such people, especially from the losing side of the war, commenting about
history they know nothing about.
BTW, in all your fanboyish urges to prove Pak won the war while everyone knows it didn't, you have
comfortably forgotten about your own "ace plane" of the time - PAF's F-104 Starfighter.
And these PAF planes were equipped with well-proven AIM-9 Sidewinders while the only AAM in IAF service
at the time was the pitiful K-13, a poor copy of AIM-9 which was so useless that it was largely sidelined after the war.
but its another story that they never saw any action because PAF never let them fly.
Ofcourse, although the more apt way to put it would be : MiG-21s thrashed your best plane at the time.
MiG-21 versus F-104 Starfighter | Wing Commander CIC
Kid, go learn some history.
Everytime your best plane (F-104) met our best (MiG-21), Fishbed owned Starfighter's ***. And that, despite the
US plane having superior, more proven & matured armament.
Just try to comprehend this fact, British air force replaced F-86 with superior Hunters!
In what role? And with what armament & operating costs in mind?
Talk with facts then with your rear end.
Like claiming Mystere IV as a second-generation jet fighter?
100? Did that figure just come out of your brain fart?
Whole 1971 war came because Pak military was brain farting in a similar way as you are doing now.

On topic, a French industry insider & journalist has clarified that the news of Rafale contract downsizing is BS.
The contract numbers stay the same - 126 aircraft. It might even go up to 189 or something after a while, but
no downsizing is there.
