The Mig-21 has crashed a lot, but it still is an exceptionally capable fighter, particularly when matched against the Mirage III/V and F-7s (Mig-21 clones) that form the backbone of the PAF.
It would be foolish to laugh them off simply for their safety record.
The Indian Air Force has a substantial advantage over the PAF, particularly in Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) combat capability. In previous Indo-Pak confrontations Pakistan had only a minor numerical disadvantage, and sound technical advantage.
Now we are both numerically outnumbered and technologically behind. The edge in pilot talent that we are so proud of cannot compensate for this.
100% agreed, but Pakistan Air Force do have BVR capability.
