200MKIs, 220 LCAs, 125M2k-5s + 45M2Ks upgraded, 60-70 MiG-29 upgraded, refuellers, Phalcons in the next 10-14 yrs, I doubt that Indian dominance will end as some paf fans would love, however it definitely makes for a more interesting scenario since at least now the PAF can defend itself, it wont be a bvr turkey shoot for the IAF.

Okay here goes nothing
If Pakistan does in deed buy the Griphens as stated by this article, we should let them post as many threads as they wish without complaint, you see we have read so much of the same type of news before and nothing happened, hence I am not convinced and if it does happen it will be the buggest surprise in arms sales history, but if does not happen will all those PAF fans stop posting rumour threads forever and then we can move on in life?

Hmm aren’t those the same F-16s that Pakistan was rumoured to be about to lease a few months ago?

PAF top amongst the Muslim world?

Not unless the UAE, Saudi, Turkey, Egypt, Algeria with its soon to be SMTs etc do not count as Muslim countries!

I do not think that anyone denies that PAF pilots did a good job in past wars, problem was that it did not end up in winning the war and today good or bad, they just do not have the aircraft to face the IAF and are reduced into buying second hand Mirages, not even M2Ks, from Lybia.

Oh my God what a load of garbage, anyone who believes that the PAF defeated the Soviet airforce should have themselves checked. The Soviet airforce had strict orders no to engage the PAF, this is documented extensively on many a book, on ACIG etc, so please quit it.
In any event the quality of PAF pilots really becomes irrelevant today doesn’t it, not much they can do vs MKIs, M@ks etc, thank God for the FC-1 which will at least stand a chance, in any event tis not good to look at the past anymore, in the past wars both the IAF and the PAF had the same equipment, well almost, today the story has changes, with the IAF having exercises with the best western airforces such as the French and the Americans etc and gets praise after praise, one wonders how well the PAF will stack up even pilot wise, the time of the Chuch Yeger has long gone my friends, time to move on to the 21st century, I was not planning to post on this thread but I laughed myself off when I read the PAF defeating the Soviet airforce, my God!

What a good idea, nothing better than to learn and absorb absorb and absorb.
