    At times I get disappointed Shekhar Shb when it comes to PAF / IAF. You never mention about the military embargo by the US on Pakistan at the out set of 1965 war which severely affected PAF in its 1971 air war.
    Eastern Front : How long PAF 16 F-86 Sabers could have stood against IAF 160, is any body's guess but what you dont tell is that IAF didnt defeat PAF in the air......with its only runway gone, F86 were in the pens !!
    Western Front : PAF was on the offensive right from the beginning to keep IAF strikes to a minimum as possible. You must also share how it must have affected PAF with the Bengali Officers / Airmen while deserting to india, took all the vital information as well !
    As for Longewala.....with Pakistan Army tanks stuck in knee deep desert were mere sitting ducks , first for the indian army unit with its Recoilless anti tank guns having a good height advantage during the night and latter, for the IAF once it was morning ! PAF could not provide any air cover / support because it didnt have any air base closer to the area !!
