Re: WHAT SHOULD BE PAF STRATAGY IF IINDIA ATTACKS?
Since India has numerical and qualitative advantage, Pakistan's has no real offensive capability. But for defence, I think their strategy is to exploit the terrain and natural environment... in case of an Indian attack, Pakistan will have the home field advantage, and they'll use their knowledge of the terrain to set up defences... they probably have SAMs hidden in effective locations, and they'll try to force the InAF into WVR combat against overwhelming numbers.
If you compare PAF fighters to Indian aircraft, all our different fighters are basically small payload, single engined fighters with short range missiles. So there are no big differences in our aircraft anymore (unlike 15 years ago, when our F-16 was very advanced). I think the F-7 is used for point defence, F-16 is used for interception, and Mirages are used for strike, specially anti-shipping, because of the Exocet missile.
Edit: Ofcourse India would never attack Pakistan until we have nukes, because we don't have a "no-first-strike" policy... so we if are losing a conventional war, we might use nukes. So if India attacks, it'll attack nuclear facilitied first, or get someone else to sabotage them.
Ask the PAF... they have all the information. They probably already have a strategy, based on their current strength and environment.yasin_khan said:

A massive pre-emptive nuclear strike against India's major military bases and population centres. If you've got em might as well use em... :eek
Seriously though, they should take whatever measures are necessary. IF all out war occurs, then do everything they can. If smaller attacks occur, they should be met with a similar (though defensive) level of force, thus demonstrating political will and a willingness to defend their own and showing the rest of the world that they are definitely NOT the aggressors. Who knows? World opinion may swing against India in this type of scenario and help might even be forthcoming...

Not really, both countries are exploring strategies , as they perceive, of how much the other can take before the nuclear threshold is crossed. After all Kargil happened in a sitiuation when both sides are armed with nuclear weapons.[/quote]insas556 said:
then move this to Strategic Defence issues, i think this thread is relates to aviation tech not war

nuke the hell out of india
Here is the strategy:
both sides go back to their borders and shake hands!!!! problems solved!!
:
ok seriously, the possibility of war between these two rivals is reducing every year. Both sides have shown interest to solved their problems on the table rather than slug it out on the battlefield.

Reducing every year? This is only the second year that things have gone in the positive and peaceful directions.

We are in the THIRD year AFTER the last BUILD up... we havent had an actual conflict since Kargil, which was long ago.
Yes, war seems unlikely now, and I am glad...good for both countries.
And somone mentioned anti-aircraft guns.... dude those are useless if the aircraft is flying above a certain altitude... they are only for guard against low flying aurcraft....
So for Su-30MKIs, land based defences are not going to work. It will probably launch air2suirface standoff missiles from 100+ km away... so anti aircraft guns are useless... and so are Pakistan's SAMS, the maximum range of whom is 40km (if we are lucky). So for Su-30MKI, we have to engage in the air.

i think we have got sa2 sam system but its not adequet.we need long range sams which will be effective foe su30mki.
PAF
yours strategy is good .if we attack first and do not give time to enemy and destroy the main assets of military and economy then it will be easy to dominate but this strategy only works if we got good defence,good fighter planes and large quantity of reserves. :idea:
