hi this is an old article dear. i read it before but as usual anylasis is fine and candid. i do agree with your points but INDIAN ARMED FORCES proved even better when they fought KARGIL war. they climbed up the hills at a terrain where ratio was 10:1. means to kill one millitant, 10 soldiers have to sacrifice their lives another thing was we never crossed LOC. so millitants supply lines was always intact. they never had any problem in such tough terrain INDIAN ARMY thwarted enemy in 50 days. how much time it would have taken had it been ground battle. i have seen operation 'SAFED SAGAR' in action. IAF air support, a planned effort of IAF Mirage2000H and MiG-29 for 11 days. it made PAK F-16s to remain grounded. they never showed up finally i want to convince you that IAF is a highly trained force. with better aircrafts and equipments. PAF is a powerful force and have good war experience. but still it is not near to IAF anyway. Any effort of PAF would be shot down by IAF. in 1965 i accept PAF had better aircrafts in 1971 both forces had same generation of aircraft though IAF outnumbered in both the wars. But by 1999 Kargil PAF was far behind. PAF slowed its acquisition programme. the reason might be political instability in pakistan. IAF formulized acquisition plan against better country CHINA. that is why such huge millitary planning took place. and still INDIA is continuing it by planning to acquire 126MMRCA, in which most likely choice would be MiG-29 OVT or MiG-35 fitted with RD33B engine. longer nose to tail length for better manoeuverability. as agni-iii has incresed range to 3500 kms, another version planned by DRDO call agni-iiiTC would have range around 10000kms, like TOPOLOV missiles. finally economically india is far more mightier than PAKISTAN. PAK economy will crumble after the war. and damages to PAK defence would be irreparable. with regards jeetiaf
