We shouldn't forget that the IAF has to split its forces on two fronts. So everything they have gets divided by 2. Now if we factor in the general rule of strategy where the aggressor must have a numerical superiority of more than 2.2:1, and the fact that all of their planes have very poor serviceability rates, it looks like the IAF is much weaker than what their numbers on paper suggest. Now if we look at the battlefields, we only need to travel a few hundred KMs to reach them and the PAF will be always fighting under their own AWACS cover, so having huge fighter jets such as the SU-30 seems pointless where their massive radars and long endurance become redundant. The JF-17 can fire the same SD-10 BVRAAM that the Chinese SU-30s fire and so at these short ranges, the JF-17 is as potent as the SU-30 if it is sufficiently upgraded.
Overall, it looks like the PAF is an extremely strong position to defend us against the IAF.
More inaccurate assessment I see
Like Pakistan service rates being better than India.thst is utter nonsense no air force in the world has near 100% service rate not even our world class raf here in UK .
Pakistan IE reliant in USA to keep f16 air worthy the mirages are so old you are cannalblising spares
As for the thunders equal to flankers that'the.joke of the century ask your Chinease friends how many flankers they fly and how many thunders
Answer four hundred flankers nil thunders
Why because one flanker equals two thunders
