Alan Warnes ("PAF's own stenographer") says that IAF successfully struck the operations room with BrahMos. Hitting the ops room at PAF's premier base where all their J10s are based during wartime would've severely degraded their C2 node, situation awareness, planning & execution.Looks like at least 2 hits on Rafiqui??

Outright procurement of 5 squadrons ain't happening with DAC and CCS approval, that too for something that's easily going to cost $7-8 billion.
A rational nation would think about economics. The PA has no such obligations. There are always others who will throw a loan or two if things ever turn dire.
AMRAAM need a data link to refresh the target location at least mid course. That needs a strong integration with the radar. Absolutely not possible with a russian radar (in the Mig case). It was also the reason why MBDA didn't accept to integrate Meteor of Tejas because of the israeli radar.There is a DoD program doing exactly this for Ukraine.
For the AMRAAM, another complexity is in giving it targeting information before it leaves the rail, keep feeding it updated information. An Airborne Radar (Phalcon ??) could do the same. Jugaadbaazi but doable.
There is a program trying to use the data from Airborne Radar platforms to guide the missile. Wouldnt work for Ukraine - US wont send an AWACs and Europe has too few to spare.AMRAAM need a data link to refresh the target location at least mid course. That needs a strong integration with the radar. Absolutely not possible with a russian radar (in the Mig case). It was also the reason why MBDA didn't accept to integrate Meteor of Tejas because of the israeli radar.
A anti radar missile is in this way easier to integrate because the target is mainly fixed or slow moving.

sSo is pakistan bluffing to hide its AD failing and trying to reign in more power for its *field marhsal* or is it genuinely trying to provoke India into a proper war? cause that would be incredibly stupid with the current state of the pakistani economy but maybe theyre getting some confidence from the defence pact they signed with saudi arabia to source money for their escapades
“Ding’d” on earth and then “Dong’d” in hell! Just like the OGs
