Indo-Pakistan War Aircraft (For Jon)

Image result for indo pakistan war



The aircraft required for the scenario I outlined in the last post are;

India


Canberra
Mystere IV
Gnat
Hunter

Pakistan


F-104A
Canberra
F-86F

That is one interesting mix of aircraft, and probably all rather modern for the time.  Let me know what you think Jon.

V interesting. The Pakistani airforce appears to be equipped as randomly as the army. The sabre was being used by the Americans in Vietnam around the same time as fighter escort for the sky raiders and the f104 was still being used by the Luftwaffe reserve squadrons well into the early 1980s. The gnat (forerunner to the hawk and one time red arrow type) is probably one of the oldest aircraft there and I am surprised that both had the Canberra but I suppose the U.K. was arming everyone in those decades. The mystere was probably sold by the French to the indians on a yah boo sucks to be you deal slight against the uk.
