He stated that the PAF is focused on deterrence, precision engagement, and operational flexibility to ensure strategic readiness.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising rapid modernisation, he outlined advancements in radar manufacturing, BVR capabilities, electronic warfare, and multi-domain capabilities that have strengthened the PAF\u2019s edge. He stressed that future warfare will revolve around artificial intelligence (AI), cyber resilience, and space-based surveillance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu\u2019s dynamic leadership,<\/strong> the PAF remains dedicated to maintaining air superiority through cutting-edge technologies, world-class training, and initiatives like NASTP, which drive innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Crediting this modernisation, he stated that the PAF currently holds an edge over the IAF for at least six to seven years by virtue of its first-shot capability, planned induction of fifth-generation aircraft, force multipliers, and the introduction of multi-domain forces.<\/p>\n<p>This advantage will only be reduced if the IAF successfully inducts the F-35 into its fleet and matches the PAF in force multipliers and multi-domain advancements.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the IAF fails to keep pace with the PAF, it will remain at least a decade behind. The interactive session sparked valuable discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers emphasised the need for synergy among the three services to undertake multi-domain operations. They also emphasised that the PAF must enhance its capacity and capability to project power in the Indian Ocean Region and to be recognised as a potent force.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"2n3Gq3GH7s\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-february-2025\/\">Pakistan in the World \u2013 February 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Pakistan in the World \u2013 February 2025&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-february-2025\/embed\/#?secret=hd902HjMT3#?secret=2n3Gq3GH7s\" data-secret=\"2n3Gq3GH7s\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: The Centre for Aerospace &amp; Security Studies (CASS), Lahore, hosted a seminar titled \u201cAir Doctrine: Applicability in Next-Generation Warfare for PAF\u201d on 25 Feb 2025.
