Disregarding all 156 MKI's (272 in all), India has around 120 Mig29 UPG/K, 55 Mirage 2000H's, 140 Mig27, 125 Jaguar Darins, 125 Mig21 Bisons,12 Sea Harriers - All BVR, all networked with Awacs... More than enough to decimate PAF sized opposition...
For Jaguars and MIG27/21 even
Manpads would suffice, as evident in Kargil. For airbases we already have Spada....a tested platform. Mig29 and Mirage 2000 are being upgraded, plus JF-17s and F-16s a good 120 of them would be enough. Then they got F-7PGs to back them up.
What i mean is, this is a useless argument opened by none other than a delusional Indian member aka Storm Force, who after repeated infractions and bans, gained some of his insanity but not all.
And for those of you, cruise missiles are effectively useless when talking about PAF and IAF airbases scenario, since it depends on what warhead they carry. The hangers and shelters are well spread out for this precise reason. You will need a shit loads of bombs to destroy those hardened shelters and/or cluster munitions in large amounts to disable aircraft on the ground.
