Your changing teh goalposts again! The point was how many hours a pilot flies! Now your saying its hours per type! Your a clown! PAF pilots fly different types , so do USAF pilots, so do RAF pilots! In PAF pilots often have 3 years with a sqd, then move to another job (in Air HQ for example) before either returning to their unit or another type, it would be natural to only accumulate about 500 hours during a 3 year stint!
If Indian pilots only ever fly one type during their careers…..well, thats a worrying trend!
You really do know very little about air forces!

NONE I presume .WELL I WAS BORN THERE AND LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE, I came back to Syria just a few years ago, I KNOW SAUDI ARABIA, waaaaaaaaaaaay much better than any of the idiots talking about the country as if they were real experts, well here this : YOU ARE SOURE LOOSERS !.
Saudi aircraft don’t fly, right, all these birds that used to show up daily over my house were just imaginations, the overflights over each occassion – weather great or silly – and the auwsome low level passes and airopics were done of course by either Pakistanis or Americans, yeah right, what ever you say .
you know all as it seems .
you know it is a very bad thing when a nations grows in number, it seems when ever a nation grows, even if it is supposed to be the source of wisdome around the world some members of it must be very stupid !.
That was the exact point I was trying to make Kfadrat!
No one has a shred of proof!

Who will maintain their planes then?
How will those GPS guided bombs work when Uncle Sam stops the signal?Saudi Arabia is an impotent state and their leaders are but US puppies, hopefully with the changing time someone has realized this and they will buy French or somehting similar and thius the impotency factor will be solved.

“Saudi has a good af on paper but poor pilot training”
You wrote that and now your saying you did not!
make up your mind!
“
Indian, please dont depart! 🙂
Are you going to give me some proof like I have done, you you still going to rely on the postings of some teenager on another forum!? 🙂
http://www.indepthinfo.com/iraq/airwar.shtml
“In an effort to demonstrate their own air offensive capability, on 24 January the Iraqis attempted to mount a strike against the major Saudi oil refinery in Abqaiq. Two Mirage F-1 fighters laden with incendiary bombs and two MiG-23s (along as fighter cover) took off from bases in Iraq. They were spotted by US AWACs, and two Royal Saudi Air Force F-15s were sent to intercept. When the Saudis appeared the Iraqi MiGs turned tail, but the Mirages pressed on. Captain Iyad Al-Shamrani, one of the Saudi pilots maneuvered his jet behind the Mirages and shot down both aircraft. After this episode, the Iraqis made no more air efforts of their own, only sending most of their jets to Iran in hopes that they might someday get their air force back. (Iran never returned the jets.)”

The Stalwart Saudi Air Force
By Micahel Collins Dunn
It has modern equipment, well-trained personnel, and a few royal pilots
I cant belive this!!!!!!!!1 You just posted a post from another forum! For all I frickin know that could have been you writing that or anyone!!!!! What on earth does that prove! If I posted something analysing the Indian Air Force and saying it was crap, could I use that as evidence!?
Is there no level you will not stoop to!?
I ask again! Give me some real evidence, not the rantings of some clown on anotehr forum!
Indian
I said give me proof that Saudi officers are crap, implying they are crap because one defence contractor has lots of people working there is pure and utter BS! The RAF with have thousands of Bae people working for them on their Eurofighter and other projects especially now they are privatising more and more, those that make RAF officers crap!? No!
Glitter
My mates uncles cousins boyfriend said all Indian pilots are crap! Is that true!?
As usual its all talk and little evidence round here!
Victor
Can you actually read!?
What part of Srbin and Flex’s post’s are you having trouble with!?
I find it amusing that the Indian members can point to the bad skill of teh Saudis yet in an open air battel teh Saudi Air force could wipe out the IAF right now!
Because its teh usual BR/Indian trouble making mob, spouting crap and its getting tiring! I would not mind reading tehre opinions if they were not TOTALLY UNFOUNDED! Can someone give me a single shred of evidence proving that the Saudi AF is poorly trained!? No they cant! So I suggest they shut the Fcuk up!
I am getting tired of the BS on this forum, Saudi forces have become more and more localised and less and less reliant on foregners since the mid to late 80s, this has been a deliberate Saudi policy! Sure they have some maintanence personal from manufacturers, but so does India!!!!!!!
Saddam invaded Kuwait yet did not gop into Saudi! Why did he stop at teh Saudi border!? There were no US/UK troops there at the time, only teh Saudi army! Is it beyond the realms of possibility that the Saddam knew Saudi would put up a good fight!?
Saudi Pilots have shot down Iraqi Mirage F-1s and Iranian Phantoms, that 4 more Jet fighters then the IAF have shot down since 1971……
Sabreace, I will anser your questions, but for teh sake of the thread (and sanity of everyone else!) can we take this argument to another thread!?
Will find another source confirming teh numbers as 40 Hueys and 40 Cobras, if you actually had some knowledge about aviation and was genuinely interested in aircraft rather then just flaming you would realised that production of the Huey and the AH-1F stopped years ago, so the time involved in manufacture would be ZERO, they would come from surplus stocks!
LOST!? We shout down more plans of yours then you did of ours! EVERY SOURCE IN EXISTANCE CONFIRMS THIS!
According to Pakistani press reports the first Al Khalid unit is operational (22nd Lancers) with delevris continuing, Saudi Land command completed a 6 week evaluation of it last month
Nice try with teh F-16 source, but that only gives the pilot’s F-16 hours, he has flown on many other PAF types, so the 500 hours is just on the F-16, you have not proven anything!
Now its your turn to give sources buddy! I can pots ALOT of article on IAF’s accident rate and low flying hours! Where is your REAL evidence on PAF hours!?
We have ordered 500 Al Khalids, I can find no source confirming India is ordering more then 120 Arjuns , yet I can find MANY ;sources confirming teh Indian Army is unhappy with it…..funny isnt it!? 🙂
Indias Kilos are in NO WAY quiter then the Agosta 90B, where is the proof!? Agosta can fire Exocet and the Daphnes are now being used only for training……..
If teh Marine pilots prefer TOW I think the Pakistani pilots may do too! Anyway, I would take there word over yours!
Shall we start another trhead to carry this on, becuase I am happy to go on!?
a good scrub would not do any harm….

Damn, you pakistani nationalists really take the cake with your Krazy BS’ing 24/7. On a thread about choppers and AH-1Fs,1) No source or proof for claims of 40 additional AH-1Fs. Where is it? I asked decently.
http://www.fas.org/asmp/profiles/ai…cbj11-sasia.pdfI posted this earlier if you had bothered to read the thread
2) No real indication or information on the 4 choppers that probably came from a Volga dneiper Ruslan. I only see emphasis on that plane being “russian” for some reason. 😀
No idea about these!
3) Proof of C-NITE upgrades???
Look under equipment realesed to Pakistan under Brown amendment, I am sure you can search for it rather then me doing it for you! 🙂No offence you blindly nationalistic person but Mig-21s are’nt the only aircraft in the IAF. Speaking of which, the upgraded ones are better equipped than your F-16As. Add that with Su-30s, Mirages, Mig-29s and a whole load of other fighters and one can’t even begin to imagine how a PAF pilot would last 5 min. in the air during an actual war?
Er!? Then why have you not wiped out teh PAF!?
Is this not getting away from the point of the thread!?Don’t even begin to talk about attrition. The PAF’s is worse than the IAF’s. The IAF drastically reduced it’s number of crashes during 2003 but the PAF’s just got worse, despite being around 1/3rd or 1/4th the size of teh IAF. The PAF does’nt log anything near the IAF’s flying time. It’s training does’nt even compare. Maintanance? From everything I’ve read, even from the PLAAF’s and Russia’s perspective, it’s supposed to be world class, unlike yours. The fact is that your country’s armed forces are in major need of improvement if they want to dream of lasting against India in a war. I cannot help if it hurts your (unjustified) pride and goes against everything your propogandistic country wants you to beleive.
Er can you provide proof of this!? A recent AFM article put PAF hours at 220 a year! IAF attrition rate has always been worse then the PAFs, its a standing joke amongst Air Force officers!
Pakistan is not a walkover. They can put up a good fight. But they cannot escape the inevitable if war does come. The PAF in particular, is the weakest among the three armed forces, the PN atleast boasting of new subs.
They why, pray, did the “inevitable” not happen when you mobilised youre armies to our border!?
What about T-90s and Arjun tanks which are being inducted? Tank warfare also depends on training. Need I remind you of the battles of the past where a better equipped and more numerous (1965) pak armour was pulverized by the Indians? Don’t assume that you can pass off anything to people like me. If you think that the average non-Indian/Pakistani is completely ignorant of the scenario and battles in that theatre, think again.
Your army will only take 120 Arjuns when it has a tank force of almost 3,000! Why!? Is it because its no good!?
Pakistan has T-80UD, AL Khalid and upgraded T-69II Al Zarrar, so whats your point!?
So what?
Pakistan is equal to Israel? This what your leaders said when they went to war and came up evicerated? You have to be a pretty lame loser if you can believe that crap about Pakistan taking on India just because Israel took on the ones it did. Israel was far better trained and well equipped when compared to it’s opposition. Pakistan is nothing to write home about. This type of extreme nationalistic BS is truely painting a bad picture of “some” people.
Pakistan is Pakistan, India is India, agreed!
Hello? Earth to yet-another-deluded-pakistani-nationalist-flamer! Pakistan lost every war it fought against India and quite badly too, despite being american trained and better equipped. I can’t believe that you actually think you won the Bangladesh war? So Aliens must have stolen one half of your country and population and the majority of your army, navy and airforce, right? I’ve never seen Iraqis claim that they won against Americans or Argentinians claim that they won against the British? Pakistanis are truely mad to murder history and be so poor at it too!
Now, now, your just ranting! Pick up your toys and get back into the pram….
Yet, you’ve purchased nothing significant and India keeps expanding every year. Reading your posts and logic makes me scared of getting into a conversation with any pakistani in real life!
So 3 Agosta 90Bs, 50 Al Khalids a year, 60+ F-7PGs, Brand new Al Thala IFVs, order for 4 new battleships from China, 4 CN-235s count for “nothing”
Right now our tank and submarine fleet is more modern then Indias
They have been fitted out with modern night fighting, EW and navigation systems from Israel. They can carry more than just wire guided AAMs. They are far better flown than you can ever hope your pilots to do.
Dont know what your talking about here!This thread has gone down due to pakistani fantasizing, not indian flaming. People are getting really sick and tired of hearing these baseless stories ad nauseum. FC-1 = Su-30MKI, SD-10 better than R-77, PAF better than IAF, AH-1F better than Mi-35? It’s all getting very very boring.
You have been one of teh main people diverting the subject of this thread as your above postings show…..
The TOW needs to be optically tracked. Easy ways to defeat that.
Tell that to the Iraqis! Marine AH-1 pilots prefered teh TOW over the Hellfire, maybe you know better then them!?
PLA
Think everyone on this forum is getting tired of the constant Indian threads and of criticism of India or there forces not being allowed…..
