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

MUZAFFARABAD: Mohammad Razzaq Chaudhry was in the courtyard of his house in Horra’n village, located barely 7km from the Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s Bhimber district, at about 8:45am on Wednesday when the “smoke and sound” made him realise that a dogfight was going on up above in the sky.

Upon watching them carefully, the 58-year-old political and social activist of the area noticed that two aircraft had caught fire but while one of them sped across the LoC, the other burst into flames and came down speedily.

Its wreckage fell more than one kilometre away from the house of Mr Razzaq towards the eastern side in a deserted field.
Mr Razzaq said he saw a parachute descending towards the ground, which made landing around one kilometre away from his house but on the southern side.

He jumped into a small pond where he tried to swallow some documents and maps
A pilot emerged out of the parachute safe and sound,” he told Dawn from Horra’n village by telephone.

Mr Razzaq said he had in the meantime made calls to several youngsters in the village, asking them not to go close to the wreckage until arrival of the army personnel but get hold of the pilot.

The pilot, who was equipped with a pistol, asked the youngsters whether it was India or Pakistan. On this, one of them intelligently responded that it was India. The pilot, later identified as Wing Commander Abhi Nandan, shouted some slogans and asked which place exactly it was in India.

To this, the same boy responded that it was Qilla’n.

The pilot told them that his “back was broken” and he needed water to drink.

Dawn Exclusive: A time for restraint

Some emotional youth, who could not digest the slogans, shouted Pakistan army zindabad. On this, Abhinandan shot a fire in the air while the boys picked up stones in their hands.
According to Mr Razzaq, the Indian pilot ran a distance of half a kilometre in backward direction while pointing his pistol towards the boys who were chasing him.

During this brisk movement, he fired some more gunshots in the air to frighten them but to no avail, he said. Then he jumped into a small pond where he took out some documents and maps from his pockets, some of which he tried to swallow and soaked others in water.

The boys kept on asking him to drop his weapon and in the meanwhile one boy shot at his leg, Mr Razzaq said.

Finally, he came out and said he should not be killed. The boys got hold of him from both arms. Some of them roughed him up, in a fit of rage, while others kept on stopping them.

In the meanwhile, army personnel arrived there and took him into their custody and saved him from the wrath of the youths, he said.

“Thanks God, none of the furious boys shot him dead because he had given them quite a tough time,” he said.
The detained pilot was then taken to an army installation in Bhimber in a convoy of military vehicles.

As the convoy passed through Khalil Chowk of Bhimber city, some 50km away from Horra’n, it was greeted by dozens of cheerful citizens standing on both sides of the road. They showered rose petals on the military vehicles, amid slogans like Long Live Pakistan army, Long Live Pakistan Air Force, Long Live Pakistan and Long Live Kashmir.

Shakal takoo pan yuck di:rofl:


He is lucky to be alive otherwise, carrying gun is common in northern Pakistan and even a kid might have killed him ...
 
And what interests are there to Pakistan to torture the Indians, eh? Have you not learned the lessons of Gitmo where it turned the US inside out, shamed a presidency, the tainted the entire country? I speak on this issue from the perspective of a veteran, someone who made out his will before deployments, stood next to a live nuclear bomb, and graduated from SERE. What have you done?
Call it enhanced interrogation?
 
LoL - some mental gymnastics here to save your friends face here I guess. The Indians are making the claim they should come up with proof.
The correction can mean many things if we speculate:
1) could be dead?
2) could have managed to escape
3) the second jet was in IOK so maybe they were too close to the LOC and we thought they landed on our side but didnt.
There is only unnamed and unsourced Indian eye witness claim of so called Pakistani jet crashing - which Pakistan officially denies - the Indian jets were shot and may have been confused by Indians as their own?
See without backing of concrete evidence we can speculate in so many directions inconclusively.
LOL, I have no friend in India or Pakistan, and I will take neither side.

I gently asked here about the situation:

It was Pakistanis who said more than one Indian pilot has been captured and the other two are in hospital.

It was Pakistanis who were barging about shooting down the SU30 and MIG29.
So, it's clear who has played gymnastic here.

Apparently even talking here is equal to negative rating:

What's the cause of this fragile sense of confidence! @hrk?
 
Do pilots not carry compass and satellite navigation receiver ??
 
they must de escalate. no choice because our response has to be tactical nuclear warfare if any new misadventure takes place. sadly MODI is destroying india for his own political aims and media is hand in glove with him on that.
