PAF Should Use American Supplied Weapons Only Against Intended Targets (WOT)

[Windjammer]

When the US released the latest version F-16 Block-52 to the Pakistan Airforce in 2010, it was announced that the system is to help Pakistan fight the War on Terror (WOT). The package included sophisticated targeting pods and weapons like the LGBs and JDAMS. These were meant to strike terrorist camps and hidey holes with pinpoint accuracy. The aircraft also came equipped with Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs) to increase combat range and free hardpoints to carry additional weapons. I guess the idea was that the aircraft could just orbit over targets inside Pakistan rather than have the capability to fly deep into enemy's territory for strike missions or to do combat for longer period or at extended ranges. Another odd weapon provided by the Americans to the PAF to fight WOT is the AMRAAM BVR Missiles. I guess this was an anticipated move, fearing that Talibans or other terrorist groups in the region might raise an air force of sophisticated aircrafts and threaten the balance of airpower in the region....a very smart move indeed.
However, it seems that during the course, to the much annoyance of the Indians, the PAF has been misusing the platforms and weapons that were originally meant to be deployed for WOT. As it happened that during a skirmish between India and Pakistan in February 2019, PAF shot down Two Indian Air Force aircraft using the F-16s and AMRAAM missiles that were supplied by America to be deployed against Talibans Naswar jets. This led to India, which fields fourth largest air force in the world, protesting vigorously to the Americans and complaining of being thrashed by a stick supplied by US to Pakistan. A very sad state of affairs as Pakistan was expected to lock away the AMRAAMS until the Taliban formed an air force or Pakistan found another enemy. Even though India fielded SU-30s, Mirage-2000s and MiG-21s and attempted to fire Spice missiles but remarkably, Pakistan never said a word to Russia, France or Israel who supplied India with these platforms and weapons. Maybe Pakistan was feeling guilty or maybe Indians thought that Americans would wipe Indians bloody nose and recall the missiles. In reality, the IAF spectacularly made a laughing stock of themselves while in hindsight the Americans were overjoyed with the fact that their weapon systems took out Russia's top notch air superiority fighter jet......a first kill in combat.

This is one of the most brilliant articles I have had the pleasure of reading in recent times. Highly insightful!

Wonder with much more capable missiles and new systems now available to the PAF.
In the event of any future conflict, will Indians lodge a protest with say China.
Even tiny Arab nations have shown more Backbone, Morals and Self Respect by never complaining to say America for arming Israel against them.

They couldn't even if they wanted to as Pakistan manufactures these weapons in-house now.

What’s the difference between ttp or Indian occupational forces in Kashmir?
Pakistan has been having 2 war on terrors. First war on terror started in 47 when we took on Indians terrorists, it’s still going on to this day.
Second war on terror was after 9/11 against khawarij.
We’re fighting both khawarij and kufr terrorists.
Americans knows Indian occupational forces are terrorists so Americans provided us with amraams because terrorist Indian state has fighter jets.

All these weapons usa sold us were meant solely for war on terror AND have been used solely against terrorists. Wether it was used on loc or waziristan, it was only used on terrorists.

 

[Imran Khan]

Sad part of this story are use of f16s EW pods man

 

[Mentee]

The article got me thinking what if Indians actually end up complaining to the Kamra guys for fielding a much more capable weapons platform than the f16 block 52's against iaf, The thunder block 3?

 

[Windjammer]

How is that.

TTP are just a bunch of reg-tag disgruntled people while India is a country of terror.

Then they should have protested to Pakistan most likely cry a river in front of shareefs...

Well they can protest to China for sure, China can just go 'complaint unclear, extra J-10CEs and PL-15/PL-10s sent to Pakistan'

 

[Imran Khan]

How is that.

Ask indians they are very sad

 

[The Terminator]

If US actually wanted Pakistan to target their wish list targets then why did they supply F-16 Block 52s with the radars? Does US intend to stop supplies of F-16 radars, EW suite, ECM pods, Air to Air missiles and Radar warning receivers? Because to hit US intended targets all they needed was a FLIR targeting pod and some bombs attached to a metal tube to hit the ground targets for WoT.

Great analysis of Indian mentality, the picture of the 'jokers' and look at their faces as an icing on the cake.

These shameless creatures think that the enemy should be with their hands tied together and put in front of India to thrash.
After that organized event, they will distribute the medals of 'bravery' to Indian soldiers and claim India to be 'Supa Puwa' of the world - the wet dream.
