You may laugh - but the Pakistanis are talking like war is inevitable.


War between Pakistan and India is inevitable. Hopefully nuclear war between Pakistan and India is not inevitable.

To me a dogfight is guns, not missiles. That was the purpose of the formation of “Top Gun”. The pilots relied on missiles too much and their overall “dogfighting” skills suffered.


Missiles sucked pretty hard back then. They don't now.

PL-15's. If they are as successful as is being reported, this is a huge eye opener to the U.S. and NATO. There's been a lot of speculation on how well these new rocket powered missles fly. And these PL-15's aren't as advanced as the ones on the Chinese J-20's.


Have there been any reports of how many were fired? I’m guessing 200 or more? No one has the missile jamming and countermeasures that the USA has.

But I’m curious to see more details for sure

From what I have read the aircraft never got close to the other side's aircraft. From what I have read it sounds like 30ish Pakistani jets fired off an unknown Chinese made air to air missiles from beyond visual range at 70 or more Indian jets. The Indian jets returned fire with an unknown number of European made missiles. Both sides then retreated back further into their own airspace. Pakistan got at least 2 kills and possibly as many as 5 kills. India got none. It does not sound like there was much to see from the ground.


So were they even close enough to lock on? Or just pulling Randy Quaid from Independence Day firing a barrage blindly?

A proxy for China to attack India.

China stands to lose a lot from this conflict. Don't be silly.
