Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions

they must've lost a lot of assets on the ground when we hit their airbases.
Hence they're scared and unwilling to disclose all the done damage...

PAF and PA really hit them hard (although many of us wanted more hits on them without restraints). That's why we don't hear a peep out of their stupid pm....he isn't gloating these days, and probably wont for a long long time.

PAF Zindabad, the Pride of the Pakistani Nation!
May Allah swt bless our braveheart pilots and always give them success in every battle. InshAllah and Aameen
 
On a side note, Did IAF ever acknowledge the number of how many fighter jets they lost ? I mean from their side it could 1-2 but did they even issue a official statement that these are fighters we lost on these locations?
i think they'll never do that. Because that would be admission of total defeat.

Not yet, 5 months and waiting
 
But isn't this PAF 'showing their cards'? to me it sounds like PAF is revealing all their tricks on how they beat the banyas (which would in turn mean next time the enemy will be more prepared).

It is always an escorted visit, and yes, Pakistan awaited for Warnes and opened up to him as we trust him.

However no air force, especially PAF, would give him access to anything classified.
 
in other words, there could be more damaged jets than destroyed
No
But what is important is that Dassault marketing overhypes things and built an aura. That was shattered.

I will reiterate - PAF loved the Rafale as well if price wasn’t so exorbitant
 
Let's think about the future. What's happened has happened. S-400 is still a real danger for our jets. India is working on project Kusha. We don't hear about joint projects with china. All PAF wants is j-35, like it's a game changer etc. Indians have radars to detect 5th generation jets. What we need right now is to invest more on long range hypersonic missile, and long range air defence systems like indian project kusha etc.

There are gaps on our side. we must fill these gaps first. next round can happen at any time. India will take less time. another attack on kashmir, another war.
 
Employed poorly means you let a good system go into a bad scenario based on poor intel.

If it was outgunned it was also IAFs fault to not know the scenario it faced
Wasn't Rafale supposed to win in even bad scenario as touted to have the best self-protection and counter EW systems? Why put every blame on IAF?
 
IAF seems so confident with Rafale that they want to order 114 more !
Some french sources said it succeed dodging most of the PL15 fired, this is why some were found intact in the ground.

And no, India has not the sole choice of purchasing Rafale. F21, SH18, EF2000, Su35, Mig35, Gripen E are viable options. USA made hard pressure to sell one of its birds.
Hi,

its not the 1950's anymore. Missiles dont need to HIT the target. Thats what prox fuzing is for. If you look at the missiles, none have their warheads, nor their seekers intact, instead, all that is found is spent motor casing...

Also mention that Rafales could not fire any missiles on PAF.

Dodged or not, at least PAF fired missiles.
