Then IAF would have been badly mauled by Chinese AAA, just as USAF had been.
- not a correct assesment of chinese air defense capability - in 62 sams were not available and anti aircraft guns primitive - comparitively iaf aircraft were faster and more agile than china counterparts -they had the closer base advantage and most of the terrain they would have flown over was friendly or inhabitated -this was not true for USAF in korea and usaf flight profile and objective was totally diffrerent .In 62 iaf would have flown mostly defensive close support mission striking at chinas forward formations and thier logistics chain - turning the tide of the battle -giving indian army the vital time to regroup and counterstrike
