For the first time ever, the Pakistan Air Force to gain superiority over the Indian Air Force in the skies :

The Indian media has expressed shock and dismay over the revelations that the IAF will lose its superiority to the PAF within the next one to two years.
The crisis hit Indian Armed Forces, rocked by various scams, corruption allegations and infighting, seems to have overlooked the procurement of much needed fighter aircraft, which is needed to guard its skies.

At present, the IAF is operating 34 fighter jet squadrons, as compared to the 26 operated by the PAF. However, the IAF needs to operate 39.5 squadrons to maintain its superiority over the PAF, due to a wide variety of issues like geographical disadvantage. The squadron strength of the IAF will drop to just 31 during the country’s 12th five year plan (2012-2017). The IAF also plans to phase out around 125 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 fighter jets during 2014-2017. It plans to replace them with the HAL Tejas, whose induction is likely to get delayed.

On the other hand, the PAF is moving forward with a number of high profile aircraft deals. Pakistan recently received 14 General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block-52) aircraft from the US. It is likely to acquire 14 more within a short time. PAF is also actively pursuing aircraft dealings with Chinese aerospace companies. It has finalized a deal to purchase 36 Chengdu J-10 multirole fighter aircraft, from the Chinese aircraft manufacturer Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation. PAF is likely to induct these aircrafts in 2014. Sources within the PAF claim that as many as 150 of these fighter jets will be purchased from China in the long run.

Recently India had finalized a defence deal with the French aerospace manufacturer Dassault Aviation for the delivery of 126 Dassault Rafale Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft. But the deal has come under increasing scrutiny after allegations of kickbacks being given to Indian defence officials. Even if the deal goes forward, the delivery of the fighter jet is expected to take a long time. Earlier the Dassault Rafale was rejected by nations such as Singapore, South Korea, Morocco and Switzerland, citing lack of advanced technology and cost.

Ever since the current Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh took his office for a second term in 2009, the defence scene has remained murky and problematic for the Indian government. The Army chief, Gen. VK Singh, who undertook a number of reforms within the armed forces, was asked to resign this month by the defence minister, citing an error in his officially reported date of birth. The opposition claims that the government terminated Gen. Singh’s service since he was opposed to the corruption in the Armed Forces. A loyalist of the ruling Indian National Congress party, Lt Gen. Bikram Singh will take over the leadership from Gen. VK Singh on June 1, 2012.

Well, as per comparison, Indian air force is vastly superior to pakistan's at present. No hard feelings: Just facts. Around 150 Su-30MKI that India has is enough for dealing with entire Pakistan's air force.

In the future, India is set to acquire Rafael as well as PAK-FA 5th Gen fighter, which is likely to be completed around 2015-2018.

Where are the posters, who claim 600 aircraft in Indian inventory?

aaw dont burst their bubble. let them think that they have a better Air force or tanks and are not getting DOMINATED left right and center because the economies are so far apart now that any sembelance or even illusion of parity is impossible to maintain. Its all in the name, its called the jf 17 so that people don realise its not a rejected ,badly rehashed mig21 that one ups the f16, let alone anything the IAF flies , in name only.

^^ It is your media and your mind set.... we know it from 65.

This is the attitude that I don't like in your countrymen. You guys act like high-schoolers at time. Read my other posts and you'll learn about 'your kind' probably.

So let's take an example here, your super ultimate 30, Rafale, Migs, Jags, etc, Brahmos, its mom, neighbors and dogs together with the mighty economy (paid for by generous US tax payers who lost their jobs to help create jobs in India)........can do what against Pakistan's 'little' air force??......the realistic answer is 'Jack Squat!'.

If you don't agree, read your big daddy uncle sam's assessments about South East Asia and about the situation. It doesn't matter how big the India is or or how powerful or weak Pak is. The answer is....no one really has superiority in military conflict. Because ANY future conflict will involve crap that NO ONE should even think about. Numbers don't mean a thing anymore as the thresholds are set too low with high stakes on each side.

You guys should be sending flowers to the 13 million Americans who are unemployed as those jobs went to India and created 40 million jobs in the same amount of money. A country where half the people still sleep bed less, you should be a bit humble there.

Back to the topic, this was for JFT, not how many supermen robots live in the mighty India with mighty Super Ultimate 30!!! Jeeeeez. Can it get ANY more sillier than this?

Meh, we've always had the better pilots.
yet you lost every war, and in the latest war that the PAF was involved in, '71, our air superiority was total to the point that DURING the war Indira Gandhi spoke various over a million man marches all over india.
The nazis lost less than what the allies did during the Battle of Britain, and guess what, they lost. Miserably at that.

Are you sure about that?

Given India's “substantial military advantage,” one cable (197576: confidential) even surmised that the F-16s would at the most offer “a few days” for the U.S. to “mediate and prevent nuclear conflict.” Privately, however, the U.S. acknowledged the “reality” that the F-16 programme would not change India's “overwhelming air superiority over Pakistan.” In fact, the cables bluntly assert that the F-16s would be “no match for India's proposed purchase of F-18 or equivalent aircraft.”

............ Indira Gandhi spoke various over a million man marches all over india. ............

Could you elaborate a bit more on that?

BD was miles away from Pakistan and India was in between. Not even the best fighter jets can have enough fuel to get to the other side. So forget about 71...

The same can be argued about you. If you have truly won every war then why haven't you taken control of Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Shaksgam Valley and Aksai Chin?

You know that Pakistan lost '65 Indo-Pak war, right? Since, Kashmir is still with India even today.

Your statement does not support the title, which is coming from mouth of (Indian) horses.
