Sir, I completely agree with you. There are no alternate for the real thing, no matter how many mock dogfights we do in peace but it can’t match with the experience that actual combat operation bring.
At present, from ACM Tanvir (he graduated in 1972) and down, no PAF pilot is having any combat experience in actual operations (except the few from Soviet/Afghan times). Officers retired after serving for 30 years with no combat experience at all. I am definitely not in favour or war but just wondering that as you have so many stories to share, our generations will probably have none. May be its better for us that we don’t have any more war stories to tell…
