27 Feb 19: PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace: DG ISPR

[krash]

In case anyone is wondering, the blurb says "Why are you laughing, you are a Mig-21 too!"

What is the Pakistani pilot being denoted as? The Indian pilot is being denoted by an elephant and the bald eagle is the US, which both make sense.

Is that the Irish flag?

Indian markings.

Sheikh Rashid is going to Iran taking a letter oh IK to the Iranian premier.

Might be a stern wronning, demanding an explanation in its possible involvement with the indo-iran-israil nexus against Pakistan.

Af

Afghanistan for sure rather than Iran.

Indian markings.

Why do they use that? Why not their flag?

The British modelled it after their own markings when they formed the Royal Indian Air Force. They just changed the blue, white and red of the Union Jack to the safron, white and green of the then British Indian Flag. After independence the Indian Air Force kept on with it.

There's nothing wrong with it though. The tail markings don't necessarily need to be your flag or a flag at all. For example,


Croatia just has its coat of arms

Poland,

Greece,

USAF has codes which denote the unit the aircraft belongs to,

Even the PAF didn't have the complete flag for a very long time,

What will happen with the scrap collected of Downed Mig 21? Can Pakistan Air Force Engineer extract radar from nose cone and do some research on it? @Oscar @Windjammer @Bilal Khan 777

I usually take Mr Hamid's revelations with a pinch of salt but this possibility has me pondering since the beginning and have mentioned it twice on the forum.
