PAF has had a superior track record against IAF with kill ratio of 5:1 in wars. The PAF is a smaller but much more capable air force than the IAF on any given day.
Aviation week & space technology - December 1968 issue. "For the PAF, the 1965 war was as climatic as the Israeli victory over the Arabs in 1967. A further similarity was that Indian air power had an approximately 5:1 numerical superiority at the start of the conflict. Unlike the Middle East conflict, the Pakistani air victory was achieved to a large degree by air-to-air combat rather than on ground. But it was as absolute as that attained by Israel.
UK - Air International - November - 1991 " the average PAF pilot is almost certainly possessed of superior skills when compared with, say, an average American pilot. As to those who are rated above average, they compare favourably to the very best "
Encyclopaedia of Aircraft printed in several countries by Orbis publications - Volume 5 "Pakistan's air force gained a remarkable victory over India in this brief 22 day war exploiting its opponents weaknesses in exemplary style - Deeply shaken by reverse, India began an extensive modernisation and training program, meanwhile covering its defeat with effective propaganda smoke screen. If you feel more at ease with German and French, then also checkout the followings Air Action (France) December 1988 and January 1989 Flugzeug (Germany) February (2) 1989 In addition to this, PAF put on show for inspection, its entire fleets after BOTH of the wars in presence of world dignitaries and aviation community.

some facts:
1-1965 war-> Indian Airforce was no where near the PAF(IAF had got the more planes plus the modern one's of that time but still was defeated heavily)
Source: Wikipedia, Indian official figures and PAF official figures, Harbaksh Singh's confession, NY time etc.
2-PAF fought against Afghan Airforce and got a clear superiority at the end. Please see the stats of First Afghan war.
3-PAF is the only Airforce whose Pilots shot most Israeli planes(Ever shot by anyone else). Check Arab War stats and also see the performance of Saiful Azim(a PAF pilot fought in Arab war against Israel) downed more then 10 Israeli planes. He is positioned in the list of '22 Eagles of the World'. No Indian pilot is named in that list yet.Please check:
Saiful Azam
4-If you say that 1971' was the IAF's victory on PAF then i can just smile on this kind of stupidity. There was only Dhaka's base from where PAF could have been active which was destroyed already. Check the kills from both sides. Even in the lost war PAF had more kills then India.
Please check for your consolation:
5-M.M Alam is rewarded to be the ace of the day. 5 Indian jets down in less 1 minute. Just have a look on the aviators who have got this achievement.
Aviators who became ace in a day
I am sorry but there is no Indian in this list just like there was no Indian in the 22 Eagles.
PAF though always remained numerically inferior from the IAF but still it has got such professional pilots who have never given any roam to the enemy on their soil. And one of my Indian friend said that IAF got full superiority in Kargil war. Sorry for my words brother, but---Didn't it feel shame to say this? Because in Kargil war PAF didn't take part and still IAF lost some planes. If there had been PAF what would have been the result then :p
Sorry but everyone has to talk with facts and logic. IAF has never ever got the superiority over PAF not even in the 71'. So please someday try to put the habit of accepting the clear losses.
hahahhahaha....... did he mention superiority of american jets any where .....
jealous..................
