The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) has undergone one of the world’s fastest military aviation modernizations — transitioning from legacy Soviet-era platforms to 5th-generation stealth fighters, advanced drones, long-range bombers, and integrated network-centric warfare capabilities. Parallelly, China and Pakistan have deepened air cooperation, from the co-development of the JF-17, joint exercises like Shaheen, to shared training, intelligence frameworks, and strategic alignment in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia.
This episode examines how the PLAAF–PAF collusion directly impacts India’s air defense posture, and what strategic countermeasures the Indian Air Force (IAF) must prioritize as the regional balance shifts.
