India-Pak tension: How the air power matches up
印巴緊張局勢: 空軍實力對比
NEW DELHI: India’s airstrike deep inside Pakistan and Pakistani jets’ foray into India has put the focus on the air prowess of the two neighbours following tensions over the Pulwama terror attack.
新德里：在普爾瓦馬恐怖襲擊事件引發緊張局勢後，印度對巴基斯坦腹地發動空襲，巴基斯坦戰機突襲印度，引起外界關注這兩個鄰國的空軍實力。
India has more jet squadrons than Pakistan. IAF’s sanctioned strength is 42 squadrons, but it was down to 33 in 2014. Pakistan Air Force, on the other hand, is tipped to have about 25-30 squadrons.
印度的戰鬥機中隊比巴基斯坦多。印度空軍的兵力編制是42箇中隊，在2014年降至33個。而巴基斯坦空軍有25-30箇中隊。
A military squadron usually comprises 12 to 24 aircraft. Some IAF fighter squadrons have 18 aircraft while others operate with fewer jets. Also, all aircraft are not available round the clock. Only about a third of the jets in a squadron stay under repair or maintenance at any given time with fewer jets.
一箇中隊通常由12至24架戰機組成。一些印度空軍中隊有18架戰機，而其他中隊的飛機數量更少。此外，並不是所有戰機都能24小時待命。通常，一箇中隊有大約三分之一的飛機不是在維修，就是在保養中。
Here's a map that shows bases of Indian Air Force close to the Pakistan border that house fighter jets and Pakistani air force bases and squadrons posted at each. It includes information only on squadrons and types of jets, and not on helicopters and other aircraft.
下圖顯示的是靠近巴基斯坦邊境的印度空軍基地，以及巴基斯坦空軍基地。只包括中隊和戰機類型的信息，不包括直升機和其他飛機的信息。

What these mothefukers are doing on the name of journalism. yesterday some batard posted the family details of the soldier in captivity and today they are trying to show our capability problems. The world rightly says that Indian media and journalism is nothing more than a bunch of incapable jokers. They always compare our defence, facilities and living standard with other world but never dare to compare the standard of media with nations. Time to introspect you shameless unethical journalists.
怎麼報道這些內容啊。昨天發佈了被捕士兵的家庭信息，今天又試圖公佈我方戰機部署。印度媒體和新聞記者只不過是一群無能的小丑，總是拿我們的國防、設施和生活水平與其他國家比較，卻不敢拿媒體的水平與其他國家比較。是時候反省了，你們這些無恥、不道德的記者。

Guys any country accounts for its strength on the brillinace of its pilots and planning. Its not on squadron strength.
I am sure India has a better track record than Pakistan and we are far superior in any strategic planning.
We have strength speed and power with strategic brilliance to out number any attacking forces
空軍實力取決於飛行員的水平，而不是中隊規模。我們過去的表現比巴基斯坦更好。論戰略規劃，我們遙遙領先。我們有實力，有策略，可以擊敗任何來犯的軍隊。

Modi insisted that IAF drop bombs in empty area. Now Pak has shot down one of our aircraft and captured our pilot. This has turned out to be an embarrassment for Modi since he doesn''t know what the end game is he is sitting on his thumbs. He was hoping this would help him for his election, now it is going to bite him in his brutt. I doubt whether Mig21s can hit an F-16. So the propaganda that F-16 was shot down is a false narrative being spread to appease Modi
莫迪堅持讓印度空軍投放詐彈。現在巴基斯坦擊落了我們的一架飛機並逮捕了我們的飛行員。這對莫迪來說是一件尷尬的事，不知道如何收場。他本來希望這能對選舉有所幫助，可現在卻事與願違。我懷疑米格-21打得準F-16嗎，宣傳F-16被擊落是為了安撫莫迪而散佈的謊言吧

Early indications are that India cannot depend on outdated technology for security. Our politicians should wake up to reality and stop skimping on defence, year after year so that they can win elections. Jet fighters cannot be ordered when war breaks out. Border roads cannot be suddenly built when war breaks out. We only consider these severe limitations after a war has broken out. China plans ahead 100 years.
印度不能依靠過時的戰機。我們的政客應該清醒了，認清現實，不要年復一年地在國防上吝嗇，這樣才能贏得選舉。戰爭爆發時，要有噴氣式戰機可以上場迎戰，不能臨時修公路啊。我們只有在戰爭爆發後才考慮這些關鍵因素。而中國已經為未來100年做好了計劃。
