* No PAF jet was shot down during air combat, by the enemy establishing a 10-0 kill ratio in the favor of PAF
* During the entire, period of war 1 PAF F-16 was shot down by mistakenly fired AIM-9L from another PAF F-16.
* MORE than 10 jets were shot down during the war, however REAL numbers of jets shot down by the PAF during the war is still "classified".
* PAF is one of the FEW air forces around the world having REAL experience with F-16s in air to air combat and having shot down enemy jets.
* One Soviet/Afghan Mig-21 Surrendered and, now is on display in Karachi air museum
* PAF pilots remain one of the unique air force pilots in the world, having shot down jets from 4 Different Air Forces. [Indian/Israeli/USSR/Afghan]

Pakistan downed all this Soviet jets because the Soviet policy was to do nothing against Pak, coz USSR was on war against Afghanistan, not against Pak.

Pak rendered its usual services for its lord, the USA, ally and master during the Cold War in order to difficults the Soviet mission, but the Soviets didn't want to involve themselves with Pakistan for this could expand the scale of war and to rise tensions with USA. Soviet pilots reported that were being attacked by Paki jets, but the Moscow's order was to retreat or even to leave be attacked.

Do you are sure the jihadis Pak pilots were better than kafirs Soviets???

If the Soviets had wanted, they crushed PAF and the ratio would be inverse: 10:0 in favor USSR.

The DRA and the Soviets carried out many raids deep south of the Durand Line. The Soviets had a major garrison in Jalalabad, and they routinely strafed NWFP and the border regions. Afghan commandos also carried out sabotage missions deep within Pakistan. Khost was out of control, but before the Soviets withdrew, they took complete control of it.

This is like sleeping with the ugly inbred chick in the class after being turned down by all the hot women and going 0-4

 

[sayareakd]

soviet navy could have single handed take out entire Pakistan at will, if they had war with Pakistan, i dont need to say what would Soviet AF would have done to PAF and entire Pakistani military.

 

[pmaitra]

Raids like this below were routine on both sides of the Durand Line. Please read on before seeing the video.

The Soviets used their Mil-24/35 to good effect. These were assault-cum-transport helicopters. This is how it would work:

• Intel informs about Mujahideen in a village.
• The Soviets would send a few helicopters with paratroopers in transport compartment.
• The helicopters would drop these paratroopers off on the periphery (possible escape route) of the village.
• The helicopter would then fly over the village in a circle, each chewing up the village with their unguided rockets and cannons.
• The mujahideen would run away like scared rabbits.
• The Soviet snipers/paratroopers would finish them off.

PAF was defensive.

They intruded into Pak airspace and than they were shot down

Nothing against USSR or For USA.they entered into our airspace and we shot down them.pretty much common around the world

 

[Ray]

The US intrudes Pak airspace.

What is the statistics of kills?

Its known as 4 trillion dollars of war investment with no end in sight. Americans have been defeated, they may win battles and have control of the skies but can't win the war. In the end what matters is who won and HOW becomes irrelevant.

You put cold water on his false pride of 1 Paki=10 Roosi.

Now he would go back and cry for a day.

They are considered allies.

 

[rock127]

They are considered allies.

And allies have the right to kill/kidnap/behead... Pakis are used to it.

Pakis hav so many of allies ie US/NATO/AF/TTP...

 

[jalsa]

Well said @IBSA , what will Paki Air Force do if mighty soviets decided enough-is-enough? still Pakis think they are the cause of USSR collapse.

 

[Mad Indian]

All the aircraft shot down are attack aircrafts or transports. None of them were air superiority ones. So much for kill ratios

we didnt told them to bring them..they intruded our airspace.whatever the aircraft was we had to shoot it

Then it is not air "combat" loss ratio dude

 

[BangersAndMash]

Allah Bachaye Puppet govt se.

Man made Allah, Bhagwan, God, etc does not exist, your country is doomed!

 

[Kesang]

Controversial but I heard that soviet mig-23 shot down paki F-16.

 

[farhan_9909]

Then it is not air "combat" loss ratio dude
