Suppose for some reason a hot war broke out between India and Pakistan in 2015 :diablo: I hope it will never happen, but then again it is better to discuss on Internet rathar than fighting in real. IAF and PAF are pitted against each other.
I believe IAF will have following no. of frontline aircraft in 2015
160+ Su30MKI
125 Mig35 or F18E/F or Mirage 2000-5
50 Mig29SMT (upgraded)
50 Mirage 2000-5 (upgraded)
50 LCA
50 Pak-Fa
100 Jaguar
Some tankers but I dont think they matter in border conflict
Paf in 2015
F16A/B ?
F16C/D ?
JF17 ?
J10 ?
Jxx ?
Rafale, any other ?
Please tell me what will be strength of PAF, in what no.s etc. Pakistanis can help on this regard.
(rest of the fighters currently in IAF or PAF will either be retired or else will be sitting ducks for superior fighters in each others inventory)
Everyone is invited to give their opinions
Be realistic and please no flaming 😀
