Hi,
No---the main point here is that till yesterday---the iaf ruled the skies---today paf has that strike capabilities---. Till yesterday---the SU30 ruled the skies without impunity with its russian bvrs---today---it is nothing out of the ordinary---it is still a great aircraft indeed----but its fangs are not as effective any more---.
There will be no daring flights over pakistan any more by the iaf---the paf pilots have been training with bvr's for a long time now---. Flight simulators have indeed sort of balanced the playing field----but the other than that has levelled the field is the kill ratio of of th eaim120 over longer distances than its russian counter part---.
Now, I do understand that the rafale is coming in the future---we will talk about it when it gets operational---but for the moment, paf has regained some of its lost momentum.
Thanks Mastan bhai for patiently explaining why comparing PAF of the late 90s with the current one is a plain stupid.
It appears that most members have taken that fact on board but some still continue to lose the plot and keep on repeating the number of their fighters and what they will have in the future vs. what PAF was back in the 90s.
There is definitely a limit to jingoism and if that doesnt help they would post US drone attacks and the slala post clearly suggesting that intent is just argument for the sake of argument.
I know its a futile attempt but once again I will clarify to Indian fanboys that the huge number of IAF combat aircrafts and awesomeness of your MKIs is not the point of discussion here. PAF chief says that we can counter whatever IAF has in its mind. Feel free to reject it if that helps you, if you still not convinced after 200 posts, despite the clarifications by both Indian & Pakistani members then nothing will.
