An age old adage says it is not the gun but the man behind the gun who counts. Didn’t India have latest state of the art Rafael planes but didn’t the IAF cut a sorry figure in the recent air battle with the PAF? Why? Only because it didn’t have brave pilots.
The decision of India to buy 97 new warplanes by spending 19 trillion rupees stems from the fear created by superb performance of the PAF in its air battles with the IAF New Delhi is still licking its wounds caused by poor performance of its Air Force against the PAF which was six times smaller than IAF in size and now wants to restore its lost prestige by equipping its Air Force with the latest aircraft but the the question is Where from it will bring pilots who are equal to the task ?
POST SCRIPT:
Why has the US Administration started praising Pakistan ‘s leadership ? Is it trying to win over its heart and expect its support in executing conspiracy aimed at creating any problem for China or for that matter weaning Islamabad away from China ?
Islamabad should never ever forget that America ‘s friendship has proved more harmful than beneficial for Pakistan. From ,1951 hitherto Pakistan has been dancing to the American tune. By its blind allegiance to Washington it unnecessarily evoked the ire of the Kremlin and paid a heavy price in the process. When Pakistan was in trouble Pentagon looked the other way. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971 it was in the air for quite some time that the American naval fleet was on its way to help Pakistan. It never came .We should never ever be a party to any American plan to isolate China from Pakistan.
