Nevertheless achieves the SEAD purpose of making a system unavailable for the duration of the conflict.
And that's how the IAF became a rocket force. Lost all sort of detterence against PAF - couldn't scramble their aircrafts to counter PAF strike formations - didn't have S400 to act as detterence either - the result was PAF took control of the air and the so called 3rd largest airforce in the world was reduced to launching brahmos from ground or carrying out a couple sneak attacks from extreme ranges - fukin embarrassing for an airforce which had spent so much taxpayers money into inducting some of the best systems in the world.
Fine and fair assessment . PAF performance was outstanding …. Our air defences did OK . Lots of Gaps and helpless against hypersonic …. Our bases are too close to the border and the reaction time was very limited just like the attack on Nur Khan .
We are very lucky and blessed indeed that no assets were lost and few Shaheeds .
But the next war Indians will come with much larger numbers to saturate our defences and yea we are concentrating on new airframes to push them even further but our lack of strategic depth is a cause of worry .
