1) Each Year IAF adds 1 SQN of SU30MKI, this implies 4 more SQNs by 2020. Super Sukhoi 2018
Seriously?
2) By 2018 1 SQN of LCA will be complete, Its still Better than Mig21 Bison
Its still ''plan'' ............ and when it comes to LCA, ''planning'' and delays are directly propositional to each other.
3) Navy is adding 1 Mig29k this is confirmed as replacement of Sea Lions, this SQN will be OCU
IAF should learn from IN. IN schedules and plans work much better compared to those of IAF.
4) By 2020 Mirage 2000 will be called Mirage 2005 Mark 2
Call them whatever you want. What type of up gradations they carry is more important. But its after 2020 and we are dealing with cases before 2020.
5) 2 More Phalcons + 3 more Desi AWACs
6) Missiles - R27, 77,73, kh Series, Derby, Python4/5, MICA, Meteor
I do believe it will happen
So 2020 = 4+1+1 = atleast 6 more SQNs
32 +6 = 38 SQNs (atleast)
You are adding new while keeping the old?
What about Squadrons of Mig21 and Mig27? Aren't they gonna get replacement first? And then addition of new squadrons will take place?
1) As per Fighter SQN Count gives 19.5 SQNs
2) At rate of 18 A/c where 2 are trainers PAF has 350-360 Jets NOT 450 pls.
Gonna increase, but after replacing legacy aircrafts. If IAF will grow in size, so will PAF.
3) PAF will add atleast 3 more JF17 SQNs
With production rate of 24 aircrafts per year, PAF will be adding 8 more squadrons (including the recent sqd2)
4) What about 7 SQNs of Mig 21 Type 15 aka J-7 and Mirage 3/5
Getting replaced, F7PG will stay untill 2022. All rest will leave PAF by 2020.
5) F16 Even though MLUED the F16 A/B airframes 1984 are Interceptors not Ground attack, you Nation will need to retire at lest 10 to 18 Birds from list of 80.
F16 MLU are bombing terrorists from past decade. Don't know from where you ''produced'' this assumption.
6) Missiles - Chinese Copy (?) American AIM 120 c-5 (? Delivered Yet ?)
''Chinese copy'' have proved its worth in drills, will prove its worth in combat too.
AIM120 are part of F16 inventory from long time.
Where will PAF get 4SQNs of 4th Gen Birds ? JH17 is out dated bird too Heavy for its structure. Can you think PAF Jf17 120 facing 310 Su 30 MKI
Yup.
Mig 29SMT & Mirage 2005 Mark2 is as Good as F16 Block 60
BULL $HIT
Your ''analysis'' forces me to not to take any thing coming from you seriously.
I wasted my time quoting every point and in the end realised that you are not the one i was thinking off. ROFL
when do you think j31 will arrive in paf?
Depends on IAF progress in FGFA. After 2020 very likely.
or May be PAF don't pursue this jet at all. Too soon to say any thing.
