Hi,
That is the first thing they teach in the u s military---that Pride is a killer and the same thing that they teach in the sales----pride kills a sale.
There is no problem with chosing the F16's after 9/11---the problem is with thew timing----. Pakistan should have had at least a minimum on one sqdrn of F16's after they signed the agreement to support them in war---and another two sqdrn's within a year----.
Pakistan had the u s by the ball joints in the first 5 years of the wot. Buddy---you guys don't even know how to talk to white people. You guys can't even have a general conversation with the whiteys----you have no clue in how to negotiate---.
As for buying M2k----india would not have had the same strike capability through the late 80's---90's----2000 and till now---. Indian M2k is the back bone of iaf.
Pakistan would not have felt impotent in the 90's----as for end of line for mirage----pakistan would have gone for the rafale---but then mirage 2005---07 and 09 upgraqdes would have been sufficient. French radars and air to air missiles.
This incompetent air force did not even have a singe aircraft to face the iaf at kargil. This air force let its most valuable assets be destroyed by the terrorists----while all of the world knew about the oncoming terrorist attacks on the air force bases---the only ones who did not know about it were the pak air force.
As for aircraft not in production now----have you heard about this aircraft known as Saab 2000.
I wonder why IAF didnt wipe us out in Kargil, Mumbai and Parliment attack ??? how many more excuses they would need ?? If they have super doper unbeatable aircraft, then why did they refrain to atleast bomb few targets into our territory?? Pride is a killer and fear is the thought of admitted inferiority.
@ejaz yes PAF did learn a lesson after the F16 sanctions. However we have decades of experience on the F16's and it makes more sense to add more New/Refurbished F16's instead of buying an all new sanctioned proned plane who's training, infrastructure development will alone take another decade to start going.
All in all bahi, Pakistan as a country must not prioritize on investing $10-15Billion on such Machines. We must first work on our education, economy and other impt matters. Our enemy is right next door, we dont need aircraft carriers, F22's etc etc .. JF17 and other Chinese planes will be a good deterrence for IAF. Yes, its not the best at the moment, but we have other MORE important areas to invest in.
Whether we know how to talk to a white guy or not .. I think this discussion will not remain civil so lets not go there. What I do know is that you have dedicated your Life for the betterment of USA, and have given them all your tax dollars to wage wars around the world including Pakistan. They have killed countless innocent people with your Tax Dollars .. and you tell us that we dont know how to talk to white ppl.
