You cannot protect all assets all the time or have a force shield that can protect against everything. The way forward has to also combine the same approach that Israel has taken with their F-35s which is they are stored underground, and not in HAS. Underground infrastructure could have protected against the terrorist attacks that a few years ago managed to get to the Erieye's..
So, ultra-high value assets like the Erieye should be stored underground and airbases modified for that capability. even a HAS can be targeted with hypersonic vehicles with enough energy to take out a HAS. That will be the next threat that Pakistan faces.
Agreed. Overall, the lesson to be taken away from the latest episode is we need a new strategy to defend our air assets as best we can.
