Most of the world's powerful air forces use fighter aircraft with two engines to increase their strength. Such aircraft are more powerful, can fly long distances and are more durable in war. But surprisingly, Pakistan's entire fighter aircraft fleet is based on just one engine aircraft.
Full story of weakness of Pakistan's air power:
Pakistan's “Western Origin Fighter Jet
F-16 : Single-engine jet (America)
Mirage 5 : Single-engine jet (France)
Mirage III : Single-engine jet (France)
These aircraft have been serving Pakistan's Air Force for decades, but excessive dependence on these may have to suffer serious strategic losses in long battles and mission endures.
Pakistan's Chinese fighter jet
J-10 : Single-engine jet
JF-17 : Single-Engine Jet (China-Pakistan Joint Project)
F-7 : Single-engine jet
Pakistan has taken a lot of military help from China in recent years, but all the aircraft given by China also have the same engine. This means that when Pakistan will face high-interest matches, its air force's survival capacity will be greatly reduced.
Why are twin-engine fighter jets necessary?
Twin-engine fighter jets are very important in war. If one of these engines deteriorate, the other engine helps to take the aircraft to a safe landing. In addition, these aircraft have more weapons carrying capacity, their range is long and they can complete difficult missions better.
After the development of weapons systems, Beyond Visual Range, the importance of twin-engine planes with long range and high weapon capacity has increased even more. Twin-engine aircraft are expensive because they contain additional engines and complex systems, which also have more operational and maintenance costs. However, the biggest advantage of these aircraft is in their safety and survival. This is the reason that nowadays the focus of the defense industry is increasing rapidly on twin-engine platforms. Overall, twin-engine jets are necessary for air dominance (air power)-and this power is not with Pakistan!
India's Air Force strong twin-engine fleet!
IAF has a magnificent fleet of twin-engine fighter jet, which makes it strong in all types of air missions. IAF's main twin-engine aircraft are: Jaguar / MIG-29 / SU-30MKI / RAFALEThe specialty of these aircraft is that these provide better power, long flight range, and more weapons capacity.
Other than this, Mirage 2000, Tejas, and MIG-21 For example, fighters are also part of the Indian Air Force fleet, which are capable of carrying out different types of missions.
This strong twin-engine fleet of the Indian Air Force gives him a huge lead especially in any possible struggle on Pakistan. The safety and survival capacity of twin-engine aircraft, long range and more weapon capacity gives him a significant lead in the battlefield. The biggest weakness of Pakistan's Air Force is dependence on its single-engine.
