Pakistan Air Force: The mysterious 70-year-old US software behind PAF’s power, used against India during…, name is…

Operation Sindoor by the India(BHARAT)n Air Force was not just a military mission, it became a symbol of India(BHARAT)’s smart planning, advanced technology, and strong strategy. Under this operation, the India(BHARAT)n Army carried out precise and powerful airstrikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). India(BHARAT) used its latest fighter jet, the Rafale, in the operation. The Rafale jets were able to dodge Pakistan’s air defence systems and hit their targets accurately. The most surprising part? Pakistan didn’t even realize they were under attack until the India(BHARAT)n planes had already completed their mission and returned.

Though Pakistani media and officials are trying to deny the attack, satellite images and reports from global defence experts clearly show that Operation Sindoor was a serious military blow for Pakistan.

J-10CE vs Rafale

After Operation Sindoor, Pakistan claimed that its Chinese-made J-10CE fighter jets had matched up to India(BHARAT)’s Rafale jets. But did that really happen?

According to Quwa, a website that covers defence issues, the strength of Pakistan’s Air Force doesn’t lie in new jets, but in the old training systems provided by the US. Back in the 1950s, the U.S. gave Pakistan aircraft like the F-86 Sabre along with a full operational software system that included pilot training, squadron management, and technical infrastructure.

But in real combat, what matters more than training and tech is strategy, precision, and the will to win.

On one hand, Rafale jets come with advanced features like:

• The ability to attack multiple targets at once
• Low observability (making it hard to detect)
• The deadly Meteor air-to-air missile, known for long-range accuracy

On the other hand, Pakistan’s J-10CE is simply a new toy, bought from China, but not tested in serious real-world combat.

Rafale has proven itself in real war situations

While Pakistan’s J-10CE may look strong on paper, its real-world battle experience is still untested. In contrast, India(BHARAT)’s Rafale jets have already shown their strength in actual combat scenarios, be it the preparedness after Kargil or the Balakot airstrike.

Now, let’s talk about the mysterious “software system” that websites like Quwa often mention.

According to Quwa, back in 1950, under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program (MDAP), the United States not only gave Pakistan advanced fighter aircraft but also shared a complete Air Force management system. This included:

• A Depot-Level Maintenance system
• Strict flight safety protocols
• Separate departments for Operations, Maintenance, and Administration

This system helped Pakistan build a structured and disciplined Air Force. Air Marshal Asghar Khan played a key role in putting this system into action. In fact, the Air Force headquarters was moved from Rawalpindi to Peshawar to give it a separate identity from the army.
