Still, there is enough to outnumber the PAF 3:1.

1980s, Bulk of the IAF was still aimed at Pakistan. Chinese lacked the facilities to really target India, hence why the wake up call after Galwan, since the Chinese had more assets due to increase of infrastructure.

I still belive the revised list I made is better. Essentially a rushed arms race, with Pakistan get the Volunteer forces to ensure that despite the lack of numbers, quality is high enough. PAF is going to be the tip of the spear, and they need everything to ensure that they give the Ground...

Public domain would be great, and any outdated not useful stuff which won't call for a black van, would be great. Searching Indian ORBAT gives nothing to me.

Hence, do you have any sources I could use for positioning during the 1980s, for both nations of India and Pakistan.

Ngl, I am going to have to figure out the positioning of the Pakistani Armed Forces and Indian Armed Forces. It is easier to do this for info post-2017, before that, it was a bit harder, so I need help with that, given that naturally, India had to worry about the PRC and Pakistan had to worry...

Sa-2 do suck, I do not think there would be a major impact unless you manage to put right on Srinagar lmao. How many do you think the Chinese would give Pakistan, realistically.

Revised [Note; Army Aviation will be put with the army equipment] [Forgive minor mistakes] Pakistan Air Force Foreign Aid 3 Sqns of F-5A/Es [20 each] [Mostly Es] [Jordon, Turkey, Saudi] 5 sqns of Mirage Vs [12 each] [Libya, UAE, Egypt via Saudi] 1 Sqn of AH-1s [Towcobra, 12] [Jordon] Newly...

Any suggestions? Am unsure of what SAMs the Chinese have other than Sa-2s back in that time period

I don't think the PAF would be able to have an additional 160 pilots to fly those planes, but if you give a solution, I can make it into a plot point as well.

I'd think Saudi would be purchasing it from Nations like Egypt and as such. I do believe this is needed since Zia here is planning a war, and needs everything he can get.

This is what I got. 145 M48s from Jordan 175 M113s from the Arabs 12 Cobras from Jordon 60 F-5A/Es from Saudi and Turkey 15 Mirage Vs from UAE. 40 Mirage Vs from Saudi. 45 Mirage IIIs from the Arabs

Tu-126 in service till 1984 I think, since the A-50 replaced it. Even Tom Clancy refers to the A-50 AWACS in Red Storm Rising. I heard that the Mirage IIIOs were in PAF storage. I put Foreign Volunteer stuff since that was done immediately, but I need to do a full Air Force for both sides.

Could you mention individuals who might be interested in this?

Ok, it is me, Aestas Vivax. My plans for a video have been significantly delayed, hence my pushing forward with the book since I have some time to spare to do so.It is an Indo-Pak war, set either in 1987 or 1988, depending on how I want it to play out. Let's just say there's a gap of 1 year to...
