One advantage we've is the presence of twin-engined fighters vs all-single engined ones of PAF. Why this is important? Well, twin-engines would mean our MKIs, Rafales and Mig-29UPGs would climb towards higher altitude quickly and sustain that altitude much longer. This in terms mean that an Astra MK1 launched by MKI at 5000 feet which reaches 30kms would reach 160-170kms when fired from MKI at Mach 1.5 at 50k feet. On the contrary, JF-17s, F-16s & J-10CE cruising at lower altitudes shall have to lob their AIM-120C5s or PL-15Es higher towards our fighters which shall reduce their range thanks to gravity.

This helps both MKI & UPG. to take on PAF fighters successfully even with Astra MK1 or R-77-1. Rafale because of its terrain hugging profile and presence of Meteor doesn't necessarily have to use this strategy because it is superior to all PAF jets in every single way be it radar, EW, flight performance and even BVR.

However, remaining at a higher altitude than PAF fighters would be instrumental for MKI & Mig-29s success and survivability against the enemy that has longer range BVRs.

Folks, BE EXTREMELY cautious in trusting ANY kind of pictures or videos. With LoRA, I can make the picture to *anything*. I can put Meteor on J10C, I can put E-2 dome on a freaken Mig-21 of all things.

Any intelligence folks if listening, do remember to distrust ANY pictures coming from open source. ALL of them can be faked to the point that no one and nothing can detect it.

Wouldn't that open up the road to take all of PoJK? @Hellfire had once claimed 2 weeks through the mountains but only 1 week from the plains.

We need Gigit & Baltistan. The occupied valley part is having very high anti india sentiment in think, we saw what those locals did to Abhinandan in 2019.
