It goes without saying that I am just guessing, but yes. It does appear that way. Not just into IOK if things are spread beyond IOK. It is certainly an attractive option for SR type strikes.Is PAF sending TB-2 into IOK next time when something like Feb 2019 occurs instead of sending in JF-17 and Mirages.
There was a video lurking on PDF showing a PA/PAF UCAV targeting an indian installation near LOC and using Link-17 as primary data link. Was that a clue that UCAVs are the next choice of aerial bombing runs.
Even though this TB-2 buy is for the PAF, the PA has been on a buying spree of its own too. I think this is a more interesting development than the PAF operating TB-2's because:
1. This gives PA a conventional option to strike Indian targets at long range, where previously they would have to use BMs or CMs, which could/would have been understood as a nuclear response.
2. This gives PA quite a bit of independence to strike targets that they would previously have asked the PAF to.
In our discussion of our UCAV inductions, we shouldn't forget that it is inevitable that India will do (or is already doing) the same. What are our defenses/options?
