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

[Raider 21]

Saudia doesn't operate any A350's & are still considering their options for B777x or the a350 (later this year).

I'm sure he was escorted by No. 9 (Griffins), but it was most certainly the Dreamliner.

The Saudi Royal Family only fly BBJ versions of Saudia & they don't have a single a350 (yet).

Infact, i'm pretty certain there isn't a single a350 Registered (HZ) in Saudi Arabia.

Probably that might be the case as the video was shot at night time. The No. 9 Viper guys were told A350, 4 of them almost crashed at Sargodha later while recovering. Either a Dreamliner or a version of BBJ.

I just came across an image. That Su 30 crashed just short of runway at Awantipur, that AMRAAM had badly damaged its elevators due to its proximity fuse. The pilots managed to bring the damaged aircraft, were trying to make it land, but it crashed short of runway. Pilots punched out at the last moment.

FYI Google Earth has imagery of that runway dated 27 Feb 2019 and I am unable to spot anything out of the ordinary. However, we don't know the time (actually looks like noon but could be earlier).

Perhaps you can take a look and point something out given that Google Earth is open source.

EDIT: Actually, it's only one end of that airstrip in that image.

Of course I would not mind as the image you saw is wrong.

hahaha you guys are so persistent .... yes that was WC Shahaz-ud-Din flying on that day......

if such video exits...it will be soon available for all. 27/2 is around the corner.

Yeah, there were 2 JF-Thunders accompanying the Griffins too.

Not sure who the rocket scientist it was who gave the wrong type of a/c.

Saudi Govt' currently have 3 Dreamliner BBJ variants - among others.

Told by a few 9ers Viper drivers, the knuckleheads are far from being rocket scientists(I'm one myself) . Negative, no Thunders recovered with them, it was 4-ship Vipers.

Video was very well taken though. Had a NVG component to it too

Well this info came from a certain Griffins Viper Driver who's in cockpit vid is very popular on YouTube.

PM. It may very well have been the aircraft you mentioned. But their briefing had it as A350.

it should be.

Firstly it's called Awantipora and as the entire base there is surrounded by ghettos and slums (Toknu, Badriwan and Tenga pora), thus any crash there and resultant smoke and fire would have seen many images and videos get out, just like Budgam Mi-17 crash.

You are wrong. The air base is Avantipur and it is not surrounded by slums. Not crashes result in fire especially it the aircraft is low on fuel, which is usually the case after a mission.

Why no mention of the F-16 we shot down?

With what?

 

[alikazmi007]

In simple words, there wasn't any ... it was all due to the hyper-imagination of Modi Sarkar so he can create his own narrative to win the elections, turn the Zero into a Hero, stoke the hyper-nationalism to get more time in the seat for his butt!

So pilots survived ?
