Guys after been reading the posts in thread "JF-17 Thunder Multirole fighter [ thread 6 ] " i think its important for us to discuss the weakness of our Airforce ... and also the possible solution with proper facts and figure , based on reality .. not on assumption .
Our Navy and Air force , are far behind their possible enemy , and there is no upcoming plans to deter any possible threat ...
IAF already has some 200+ Mki which is itself a air superiority fighter , along with mirage 2ks and Jaguars .. the challenge for PAF is much bigger than they think. ..
PAF has some 73 F-16's , 50 Jfs and 150+ F-7's and 60+ mirage III-IV ROSE //but are they enough to secure our Air space from the rising threat from our neighbors ?
As some of the members here show concern about a possible full scale war , where our Air force is standing ??
here one thing we have to keep in mind that we dont even have a potent Air defense network , or SAM's , the only potent SAM we are operating is SPADA-2000 but is that enough ??
what i believe that our CM's are able to hit forward and deep bases across the border but are they enough ?? does the creation of N-weapons means that now we should not focus on any conventional systems ??
Obviously its not easy to launch a Nuclear strike on a country , we are not USA and dont have ability to sustain the possible outcome of a Nuclear war ....
so today or even in future the war will remain Conventional , where our Air force lacks some technology gaps and also heavily outnumbered from their enemy ..
what i want to discuss that what can PAF do to deter this threat , should we go for stop gaps , invest in long term projects , or short term ?? buy med and long range SAM's or buying some Used 4+ and 4++ fighters .. ?!
keep the budget of PAF in mind please before anyone suggest something .. so as i mentioned the solution should not be unrealistic ..
This thread is not a Vs thread for trolls , nor i am assuming any War scenario right now .. ...
so any attempt to troll will result in report and banned from the thread ..
