Lol what indian planes sukhoi 30 or new rafale/eurofighter,as above last time paf and iaf went head to head was in 65 war, after kargil IAF has under gone huge upgrade,india is working on sukhoi T-50 stealth plane with russians to match raptor quality,equally funded by both india and russia, by time it comes out americans might have 6th gen fighter.

Pakistan best chance would have been either get J-10 or bargain deal from american for recent events likes of f-18

Pakistan wasn’t operating AWACs or air refuelers (will take more time to integrate) and the only capable jets were f16s which were being cannibalized to keep some of the fleet flying. I think even France had embargoed some of the ROSE upgraded jets that were in france at the time of kargil or even if they didn’t, then those jets were not available to be deployed. Pakistan might not have a match for flankers yet, but surely the alarm show by the IAF chief must have some merit to it viz the PAF modernization plans.
