A PAF F-7PG and a Mirage landing on the Motorway during High-mark 2010 Exercise.
Note trees adjacent to Motorway had to be trimmed for wing space.

Air bases are fixed in place and their locations know (detectable by a variety of reconnaissance means). At the outbreak and during conflict they will be targeted for destruction as the combattants struggle for aerial dominance or supremacy.What is the need of this when we have Bases as far as North east and South India,even 200 km around this Highway,there are Atleast four Airbases,This is redundant for geographically big countries.
Decommissioned jet, waiting to be mounted on a stand at some junction, in the meantime, why don't you take some rest.

Nice picture..Can anyone confirm the AFB location ? It looks like Pune to me.

I don't see the point here.
Ofcourse Pakistan did it first.
Pakistan is a small country that has a much larger and much more powerful country as its enemy- India.
They know their airbases will be completely destroyed in the first 48 hours of any war now. So it is only logical that they will prepare alternative places where their planes can land.
The same way Israel has practiced this for decades now.
On the other hand, India is a very large country with a very large number of airbases and airstrips located throughout the land so IAF had no need to do this, which is why they are taking this as a luxury.

And in which war you had the air dominance out of the 4
Unlike your Bihari brothers of East Bengal I suppose? I hear MM Alam was a bihari?Small height and dark color .. a total give away of the bihari make up
They can but need not be near. If not near, the aircraft fly there. Support equipment is already in place in hidden storage nearby the particular (prepared) highway section. For unprepared sites, you would need some mobile units (you could use heli's to ferry in fuel bladders, ordnance and light support vehicles, or larger vehicles could be used to drive equipment and supplies in)I have one query. Your argument no doubt makes sense but is it also not true that these highways and land strips will have to be near the airport/air base?
For example if the enemy comes and destroys your air field then you use the highway, but you cannot "drive" the fully armed and fuelled jet on the highway like any automobile. The highway has to be near the airfield. And since this practice is all too common then it is possible that the enemy commander would not only bomb the air base but also nearby highways, and highways being means of communication would be targetted in any case like bridges and railways.
Your thoughts please.
47 was not really a air war. It was more like Kargil in a sense, localised heavy army warfare.Agreed.!!
No doubt about it.65, okay you guys managed to get a good hit. Will give you that.
In Eastern sector yes because India had 10 :1 numerical superiority but in West, ''Chuck'' Yeagar's statement is not off the mark.71, that was India's air war completely.
You are contradicting your own above statement, alas it was a local war, IAF did all operations within it's own side of LOC. !!!99, undisputed Indian air war.
Obviously he's oblivious to the events of 28/29 May 2002. !But I agree the 48 hour stuff is bollywood propaganda and that fellow is obviously trolling or pulling your leg.
