The number is only for combat squadrons. PAF as a whole is 30 sqn. Nevertheless a sorry state of affairs. I wish IAF had simply gone ahead for fast track acquisition of at least 2 Mirage sqns and 2-3 MiG-29 Sqns. True. Vivek Raghuvanshi is not one known for any detailed research. PAF has some 395 c...

Why does a relatively small country like pak need refuellers?? Esp when it is the first to proclaim that it is a "defensive" air force( meaning they wont be going far from their bases??)....... They have a limited pool of F-16s which they plan to use to defend their Erieye against our MKI...

Theoretically PLAAF could deploy the Q5, IL â€“ 28 and J 8 aircraft but having low loiter time and insignificant throw weight, it is only Su-27/30 which will remain effective in TAR. Employment of Tu-16,if at all, would primarily have a psychological impact.

I expect 90% of PAF and our bison/mig29s will fall apart inside of a week in sustained combat ops. but thats ok, because with PAF grounded we can make the falling apart process more permanent by bombing their bases with jags, mig27, mirages and su30s. Singha, What do mean when you say fall apart ? ...

Further, the J-8II is also unable to perform CAS sorties from higher altitude airbases and is relegated only to the light interceptor role (low range and endurance). The above analysis was done assuming no in-flight refueling takes place. If this refueling were to take place, the J-8IIâ€™s limitati...

Surinder: It is sad to see that the state of affairs hangs in a precarious balance on the ability of the Muslims to accept certain truths.

I oppose the acts of ommission and commission. If there is something wrong with the Constitution, it needs to be changed. But it surely cannot be changes with sticks and stones in hands, by burning cars, by killing people. Maybe those people had the "right" to "recover" their pl...

This is a self inflicted Hindu self goal. All of Ayodhya is sacred.

Even if there was a temple in Babur's time, India was politically not what it is now, and is culturally different in many ways than it was then.

Great idea!

Its great work. IMHO, the only true proper fighters that we can face and which meet these criteria of range without compromising significantly on payload are the Flankers. With a 1500 km radius, they can manage to deliver a moderate payload, and have enough initial thrust to manage a takeoff, and ca...

Guys, for an effective operational aircraft, it has to have at least 10-15 mins of fuel for repeated passes over the target area, and a similar reserve for emergency relocation ie current airstrip is inoperative for recovery. Please note that pilot SAR is for all intents and purposes infeasible in t...

It is upto to you provide the data to show that those airfields can support 272 Flankers. Currently the Scramble site and other sites clearly show they cant.

Actually the ones on the backfoot are the Euros and even the Israelis are worried. But the latter provide subsystems so arent directly affected.

Yeah I agree timeframes are somewhat arbitrary.

Raymond, if a few prudent decisions are made, say getting two new squadrons of the MRCA as interim till production picks up, your orbat could well be correct.

Raymond, thanks for the source- that doesnt seem to show any of the super duper AFBs being built around Tibet and whatnot.

In fact, given the pathetic coverage in Chengdu vs the other regions, it would make sense for them to pay attention there.
