CITATION DISSECTED
So the
Indian President himself finally acknowledges that
1. JF-17 is advanced fourth generation aircraft.
2. PAF possess advanced high calibre air to ground stand-off weapons.
3. PAF aircraft were under seamless airborne radar cover and control in the morning of February 27th 2019.
This is how the story an Indian "hero" pilot progresses:
1. The "hero" pilot was provided with updates on likely air threats flying at very high altitudes.
Comment: So IAF situation awareness was not to its full capacity (no AWACS were in air). A nasty surprise from PAF!!!!
2. But he took the initiative to scan the low altitude airspace with his AI radar and picked on PAF aircraft flying low to ambush the Indian fighter interceptor aircraft.
Comment: Deadly and successful ambush is always from above, because aircraft gains higher speed while diving down. How did the "hero" pilot ascertain that the PAF aircraft was flying low to
ambush the Indian fighter interceptor aircraft???? Must be telepathy, after all he is an Indian "hero"
3. After alerting the other formation pilots towards the surprise threat, our “hero” and his wingman in an offensive formation rushed against the lone PAF aircraft which was then dropping weapons on the Indian Army positions.
Comments: Role of the spotted PAF aircraft is suddenly changed. Instead of ambushing the Indian fighter interceptor aircraft, the "hostile" PAF aircraft was found dropping weapons on the Indian Army position.
Earlier, in the citation, it was acknowledge that PAF aircraft were armed with advanced high calibre air to ground stand-off weapons. None of the six targets selected by PAF aircraft for bombing was more than 100 km away from LoC. Then why a lone PAF aircraft was found flying in the airspace of Indian Occupied Kashmir? Or our brave “hero” proceeded courageously to engage the PAF aircraft package with utter disregard to his personal safety, crossed LoC and found a lone PAF aircraft flying low and dropping weapons on IA positions
Comments: Then how PAF aircraft managed to drop bombs on six different “targets”?
No, it was other way around. On the night of February 26, 2019, during so-called "Balakot surgical strike", the audacious and aggressive maneuver by PAF interceptors forced IAF aircraft into tactical chaos. That is why they dropped and jettisoned their precious payload on the trees and rushed back to their side of the territory.
4. Then our "hero" pilot pursued a retreating fighter bomber aircraft, and in the ensuing aerial combat, shot down an F-16 aircraft with his on board missile.
Comments: PAF displayed remains of all four on-board missiles of the crashed Mig-21.
When a missile successfully hit the target aircraft directly or its warhead detonates near the target due to proximity fuse, the complete missile is ruptured into pieces and spread in number of kms depending on the height at which the impact occurred, wind heading, the speed and approach direction of the missile and aircraft. It is almost impossible to retrieve the debris of such missile that too in mountainous terrain of Kashmir.
Furthermore all F-16 in PAF inventory were accounted and confirmed by USA. Even Carol Christine Fair (a pro-India American political scientist) in her recent talk in front of Indian military regime acknowledge that no PAF F-16 was shot down by IAF.
5. Finally, in the melee one of the PAF aircraft fired multiple advanced BVR missiles, one of which hit his aircraft forcing him to eject in Pakistani territory.
Comment: According to Wikipedia, the kill ratio of AIM-120 is 63.15%. Why a PAF pilot will fire multiple AIM-120 C missiles ($400,000 a piece) to hit a "sitting duck" flying inside Pakistani airspace???
Moral of the story:
"In every lie lies a truth" In short, truth cannot be hidden.
