PJ,
Pakistani pilots are averaging over 200 plus flying hours on a consistent basis for the last many many years. On the other hand indian pilots were doing 130 to 140 hrs. Now this might have changed in the last year or two.

Secondly, pakistanis have I believe 3+ pilots to a plane as compared to less than two pilots averaging per plane for the indians which means that more sorties to be flown.

Thirdly, what has brought wealth to india has also become the reason to avert the war between these two neighbours. These credit card call centers, computer technology backup system---the world economies are being controlled by the efficient running of these places---a war with india would mean a major blow to the welfare of the western states and I don't think that would be allowed---GE did prevail in the 2002 confrontation.

So the reason that is there for the welbeing and prosperity and heavy defence spending of the state is also the reason for it to not to go over the edge.

The Indian fighter pilots have been getting as many as 300 flying hours per year and that the majority of those hours was spent in full-up combat training!!!

besides iaf has been training regularly with the usaf ,french air force,israeli and other airforces. also singapore and india will be holding a joint excercises later this year where singapore will be bringing their f16s i beleive their f16s have been upgraded to block52 standard by israel.this will give india a lot of experience .i think this will be an annual excercise as india have offered singapore airforce training facilities in india.

Guys,
Yeah, from 118 hrs to 300 hours---at first not enough flight time, now you want to break their backs. What is the next step!

Now coming back to the air war---you see, paf is going to go after all these computer tech centers that control the world economy right from gitgo. And if 'POPULAR MECHANIC' is correct in its assessment about pakistan having what it has, then someone would be paying a very high price for starting up the world market economy crash.

In Iraq while we were training there interceptors low altitude tactics the IAf was teaching their strike aircraft hi level tactics. Similarly while we were flying Libya's Su-24s the indians were working on the infra structure. And its true that the IAF has been badly immobalized due to old equpiment and lack of spares because the problem of spares from russia still presist and HAL has only recently begun rebuilding the Mig-21s.

Pakistan air force should have to target the major economic centers which could damage the Indias economy and a left in major economic crises for future decades.

Economic centers are many and wide apart. And they are common candidates so will be very protected. A PAF strike on them will be expected and will lack the "surprise" effect that is crucial.

Airfeild protected,cities protected, ecnomical centers protected, nuke protected, etc. Protected will be everything but one should have to do it some how if he want to win the war.

You can't destory all of India's economic centers in one strike. If you could, I'ld support this strategy. But India is a very vast country, economic bases include Bombay, ports in Gujarat, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ports on the western coast outside Gujarat (Cochin Goa Daman Diu) then who can forget the Eastern Coast (Vizag), then almost the entire Indo Gangetic Plains are economic production centers, Mining and chemicals in Bihar and Jharkand, textiles in Bengal, Oil refineries in Assam .. this list is endless.

There doesn't exist one particular economic center that the PAF can target. And then PAF doesn't have the strength in numbers to venture deep into Indian territories without leaving home skies slightly unguarded. Indian Air defence will to top notch too. Hence I feel to avoid the risk of bein completely overhauled PAF should retain itself to a defencive role.

listen guys. the bottom line is the PAF can't do jack except patrol the borders for any incomers and also support ground operations within the country. they just haven't got enough numbers to enter indian airspace to cause huge damage.
i'm sorry to say but until we don't get a HIGH-TECH aircraft in numbers along the lines of 80+ we are isolated to defend ourselves. we need to spend $$$$$$$$$ in the next few years if we are to have the ability to retaliate big time. :smokingc:

Sri,
As Popular Mechanics reported in its sept 2001 cover story, if pakistan has EMP or the E BOMB, it would only take one airburst to break india's electronic industries backbone. Only one strike at banglore and not only bangalore would be gone, late effect EMP could travel through power and telecommunications infrastructure.

This article is a must read for people who follow the indian pakistani conflict.

It would be interesting to see if pak army can use it as a proximity strike missile against the indian AWACS in the future.

must say an EMP is lethal to an industrialized nation, i can't-imagine anyone using such a weapon just to get a point across, all the technology that would be lost, its insane and brutal, That did hurt my feelings. Anyways Victora would like to read the article have you got an INternet HyperLink or something for it.

An atmospheric strike will actually destabilise all of the eaths low orbit satellites within 36 hrs.

On that basis, anyone who causes such massive impacts on the rest of the worlds infrastructure is not going to be "the most popular girl at the dance"

I'd suggest that there would be a few more unhappy nations other than the one directly attacked. Both the Americans and the Russians were aware of this for years. EMP does far more than just degrade local comms in the blast area - it's global effects are enormous over time.

The Pop Mechanics articles on these things never went into much detail - very much a simple analysis.
