Comparative study of Indian Air Force and Pakistan Air Force

[AJSINGH]

well longest range land based SAM sure, but since China seems have taken part in development process, i question the effectiveness of the system. The fact is the Chinese even copied its, though they don't have a missile that can hit 400km away. The fact is that the S-400 can handle targets with max. range of 3500km and max speed of 4.5km/second or a little over mach 13.2.

Now our PAD/AAD together have the ability to take care of threats with a max. range of 3500km. These PAD/AAD have gimballed warheads, can take care of Agni-2 style targets with speeds over mach 15. Hence our AAD/PAD have better ABM abilities than S-400.

Now LR/MR-SAM will be enough take take care of border air defense combined with AAD/PAD, Akash, Spyder SAMs. SM-3 interceptors have higher flight ceilings and longer ranges and can handle threats traveling well over 20,000km, based on ships they will give us good protection from naval attack. I would love to see upgraded SM-3/6 in our inventory. S-400 is a joke compared to that. Besides Raytheon is working on land based SM-3 interceptors.

SM-6 is ideal for Ship based air defense against maneuverable aircraft and cruise missiles, it has max range well over 180km.

On February 21, 2008 at 3:26 am (UTC) the USS Lake Erie, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, fired a single SM-3 missile, hit and successfully destroyed the satellite, with a closing velocity of about 22,783 mph (36,667 km/h) while the satellite was 247 kilometers (133 nautical miles) above the Pacific Ocean.

Two new anti ballistic missiles that can intercept IRBM/ICBMs are being developed. These high speed missiles (AD-1 and AD-2) are being developed to intercept ballistic missiles with the range of 5000 km. The test trials of these two systems is expected to take place in 2011. The new missile will be similar the THAAD missile deployed by the U.S.A. These missiles will have to travel at hypersonic speeds and will require radars with scan capability of over 1500 kilometers to successfully intercept the target.

Since we are working on missiles to deal with ICBMs and by 2011 we'll test them and we'll have something much better than the S-400 or any Russian counterpart, forget the s-400, its no use for us.

i hope that become reality as of now...we may need SA21 .....

Pakistan is not the main concern of IAF -It is China so we have an offensive deployment against Pakistan and defensive against china - and we can never forget a simultaneous attack scenario that can develop any time -

Sir,
There are plans for 250 JF 17 but right now only orders have been placed for 42. The PAF wants western avionics so till they get it production will be stalled. PAF is getting 74 F 16 that is all. The last 18 are the Block 52s. The other F 16s are from the stalled Peacegate 3 block fighters upgraded with MLU 3 kits. The older F 16s have very low airframe lives as they belong to the aggressor squadron. I will never underestimate the PAF...I am damn sure they are a very professional airforce. But today they lack the technology and numbers. Which you have to comply with me. The JF is like the LCA. The LCA order number stands at 28. But the planned induction is 140+

Pakistan kept on matching (atleast tried to maintain the detterence) India in air-power. But they have lost a decade and lagged behind in the race. How good is JF-17 still doubtful, PAF wants incorporation of western tech in it. Is single engined JF-17 capable of striking deep in Indian territory? If not, it will definately lack offensive capability.But its true PAF does not have any answer to Su-30 MKI.

to create a good defence shield a state also need a economy so pakistan instead of spending on defence(they spend 10-11% of their budget) they should invest on infrastructure and industry and then with a good economy they can have a good defence to match india.

rite you are dude.......

Pakistan was created because of the insecurity feeling that Muslim would be cornered by the majority Hindus in undevided India.This insecurity feeling has not left them in next 60 years....So 'eating grass is preferable but they need to have the detterence against India in military powers'

hey guys -aent we here to discuss the military aspects of pak air power

That is an idiom - not meant to be taken literally. Stop getting so defensive!

 

[ppgj]

who is eating grass ??// come out of ur fantasis

waleed,he was referring to ZA Bhutto quip-"We will eat grass but will make Atom Bomb" post 1974 india nuke test.

 

[natarajan]

who is eating grass ??// come out of ur fantasis

he meant that even though they are very poor in economy and infrastructure but they are putting huge amount in defense and nuclear capacities

 

[shankarosky]

that is right -spending the development money for military purchases with no avaialble infrastructure to support it -they will soon go under international debt and implode -and that is the biggest risk of all -

Basically Pakistan has only 8 Jf-17 sent from China for traing. To have 250 + you need to acquire a time machine first :blum3:. Anyway those cheap , single engined and smaller range aircrafts (even China has no plan to introduce them in PLAAF) will not be any threat to India. Because they would not have the capability to strike deep in Indian territory what heavy aircrafts like Sukhoi-30 can do.
