No Comparison

[syedali73]

If the decision was made based on showbazi (as suggested) then i dono how one gonna use them..... But my question is Mushraff left military 6 years back right? Was there any further recruitment/deputation???? If yes then it is not showbazi, they mean business.....

Difficult to reverse certain decisions. I understand however that number of females recruited in following batches was reduced.

Some Indian female pilots (Name withheld) got in touch with a male PAF pilot through FB and are of opinion that they are same as PAF female pilots. I don't see any comparison as unlike their Pakistani counter parts, the Indian pilots are not combat capable and merely fly transport aircraft. What do you guys say.

IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, answering questions in Kanpur said the capabilities of women "air warriors" in his force was never in doubt but biological and natural constraints precluded them from flying fighters.

"As far as flying fighter planes is concerned, it's a very challenging job. Women are by nature not physically suited for flying fighters for long hours, especially when they are pregnant or have other health problems,'' said ACM Raha, as per news reports.

Defence minister A K Antony, in turn, told Parliament just last month that two studies - by the integrated defence staff HQ in 2006 and a high-level tri-Service committee in 2011 - had both rejected induction of women in combat duties. A serving major-general said, "As a society, we are not ready for our women in combat roles. What if they are taken PoWs?"
A major hindrance is that it takes over Rs 13 crore to train a single fighter pilot, with the huge investment being recovered over 13-14 years of active flying. "Women fighter pilots may get married, have children, disrupting our tight flying schedules. Fighter flying requires very high level of physical and mental fitness," said an officer.
