As they say 'better late than never' finally our politicians discovered that airforce is gettinng old. Luckily our military commanders realized that years ago and have been trying to take steps in the right direction. Now that the politicians are finally on the same page,things are more likely to improve.
Being cash strspped and low in resources for years has taught PAF to make the most of whatever they got,adapt and improvise.These three qualities cannot be taken for granted.
The proof is in the pudding,if PAF was such a crumbling old useless force,many countries of the world had sent planes to destroy pakistan's nuclear establishment,.like they did to iraq and syria. If they are not doing it,something must be stopping them from entering our airspace with aggressive intentions? I suspect its PAF who somehow keeps the 'young n powerful' airforces at bay.
