Dear friends, pakis on their forums do not get tired of their idiotic murmurings that their air for is superior to that of Indias when it comes to training and tactic and that they are better trained to handle their equipment. Well lets check what a credible source says about this :

3. (C) While we understand New Delhi's opposition to the program, the reality is that this program will not degrade India's overwhelming air superiority over Pakistan. Reducing the munitions package will not significantly affect either costs or regional stability. We have and will deny arms sales that we believe would upset the regional balance of power, as we have with the recent GOP request to buy the Coastal Targeting Suppression System, which enables Harpoon missiles to be fired at land or near-land targets using GPS technology.


12. (C) India enjoys an almost 2-1 advantage (736 to 370) over Pakistan in advanced multi-purpose fighters. Pakistan's shortfalls in training and tactics multiply India's edge. Pakistan also plans to buy/jointly produce 150 inferior JF-17 fighters from China, but it is unclear how they will pay for them. Meanwhile, India plans to acquire 126 multi-purpose fighters (F-18 or equivalent) that will give the GOI

13. (C) The sale of new aircraft and 500 AMRAAM missiles would give Pakistan beyond visual range capability, but Pakistan will acquire the ability to employ this capability with either the new buy or MLU aircraft. Canceling the new buy would thus only delay the process by 18 months. Successful employment of this capability by the PAF, however, will take 2-3 years and a significant revision of doctrine and tactics. The Indian Air Force already routinely trains on existing beyond visual range tactics.

Our main competition has been China and always will be China.
China is a rational country and it will not fight a direct war with India as she knows that its no longer nehruvian era India and that we dont have to fight with brit .303 against their AKs. They have already got the taste of our fury during the cho la battle of 1967 and they know the ferocity of our troops in wars.

They have and will continue to test our military preparedness, be it through their so called anti piracy patrols using submarines or repeated intrusions into Ladakh and Arunachal! I don't think we can afford to take them lightly, given that our infrastructure along the border is weak.
