The only advantage India realistically has is air superiority. Pak Air force is now quickly playing catch up. JF-17s will bridge the gap by large!

It will be used by Pakistan. And its main purpose is transit of goods. Thats why everywhere in Pakistan you'd see big billboards stating "Dubai being built in Pakistan" as Gwadar ads.
I dont have to know about your billboards etc.

Even after the JF-17 PAF would be way far behind the IAF. Don't get me started on counting the stuff IAF has & PAF doesn't.
AEW, for example. And not to forget the one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world: SU-30MKI. What about the mid-air refuellers.
And this is just the begining of the list.
Dude, trust me, PAF won't be anywhere near.Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.

Originally posted by Asim AquilI wouldn't contest that, but I'd tell you we're sure as hell going to try surpassing India's air capabilities, if not at least match it.
Is it a bad attempt at mocking your own country?
As Samudra stated, getting good engines would be a good start for you. Notice that I said "getting" & not developing, because that would be too much to ask.Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.

Isnt is also logical that any sane military decision maker would be conscious of what he can not achieve for himself and match it against his adversary?Last edited by Samudra; 14 May 06,, 17:28.

"A country without a strong Air Force is at the mercy of any aggressor, Pakistan must build up her Air Force as quickly as possible, it must be an efficient Air Force, second to none." Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah PAF Academy, Risalpur 13th April, 1948
Any Pakistani leader is smart to follow on Jinnah's vision.
IMO Everyone should aim for the top. There are no points for 2nd best.
