India Rafale Deal: 114 Hadcamp in Pakistan due to news about buying 11 new Rafale fighters, warns Expert

The Air Force submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Defense to acquire 114 Rafale fighter aircraft. The cost of this agreement will be more than Rs 2 Lakh Crore. Most importantly, France’s Dassault Aviation and Indian aviation companies will collectively manufacture these aircraft. As India approaches the historical purchase of 114 additional Rafale fighters, Pakistan’s concern is increasing. Pakistani experts warned their government and army about the agreement. According to a report by IDRW, Bilal Khan, founder of the Defense Analysis Forum, says the Rafale agreement of India, is a threat to the Pakistani air force. Khan described the purchase of Rafale aircraft by the Indian Air Force as a worrying indication for the Pakistani Air Force (PAF). Since 2020, the Indian Air Force has 36 Rafal aircraft. In April this year, an agreement was signed for 26 naval versions. Therefore, 114 more aircraft will significantly increase India’s strength. Bilal Khan’s concern about the Pakistani experts argues that the danger goes much further than Rafale. Khan says the Pak Air Force has shown strategic skills and network-centric fighting skills, but it will be difficult in the future. This is because the network of about 200 Rafal aircraft, indigenous light aircraft aircraft (LCA) will be very powerful, with Tejas and Advanced Sukhoi-30 MKI heavyweight aircraft. This network presents a challenge not only for Pakistan, but also for any country. The Pak Air Force is currently dependent on JF-17 Thunder, F-16 and Mirage III/v. Khan believes that after the arrival of the new Rafal, they cannot compete with India. Even if Pakistan also acquires a fifth generation J-35 stealth fighter aircraft from China, it will still remain weak. Pakistan currently has no response to Rafal. The J-35 will enable Pakistan to carry out a stalemate with the Indian Air Force intercarriage, but it would be impossible to fit the Rafale. Pakistan should reconsider that Khan says that the growing strength of the Indian Air Force is forcing the Pakistani air force to fundamentally reconsider its air war strategy. Unable to fight directly between fighter jets, Islamabad should consider other options, especially to increase the production of JF-17 block III. This ray is equipped with KLJ-7A Aesa Radar and PL-15 long-distance missiles. Bilal Khan offered his recommendations for the Air Force to compete with the Indian Air Force. These include the development of indigenous unmanned fighter jets (UCAVs), accurate monitoring of weapons and soil rack weapons. Khan says India will have to prepare for Pakistan before getting a new Rafale. Share this story -tags
