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

[CriticalThought]

CriticalThough, just one question, why could the PAF jets not allow IAF jets to fly further inside Pak territory, and then surround them and shoot them? Instead they choose to immediately confront the IAF jet when they were only 3 to 4 miles inside, which allowed these IAF to hastily retreat. But still gave india the Media victory and the whole world is calling Pak a terrorist heaven again.

Airforces don't fight to attain media objectives. They fight to obtain security objectives. Once an aircraft has intruded into your airspace at 3:00 A.M. in the morning, you cannot know its load out. Radars don't report that. You have no idea what that bogey might do. What if its mission was to only come inside a few miles, take an accurate shot, and scramble back? How would the guy performing the CAP, or the ground controller know this? By scrambling jets and immediately intercepting them, we did not give them the space to take an accurate shot. Had they successfully targeted some critical infrastructure, their media would still call it a success, even if they lost an aircraft.

Our problem is that we can't separate technical facts from rhetoric. We fall prey too easily to the enemy propaganda machine. Here are the facts broken down:

1. IAF attempt spoilt. Clear victory for PAF.
2. Pakistani soil targeted. Our sovereignty challenged.
3. Pakistani response? At a time and place of our choosing.

We need to wait for that response and call out the Indians for dishonest reporting. Why isn't Twitter laughing at this moment at Indian attempts to show JF-17 as Mirage-2000? Why aren't they laughing at the entirely unprofessional conduct of IAF pilot, who couldn't even drop his payload correctly? And above all, why isn't DG ISPR and Shah Mahmood Qureshi forcefully telling the whole world that there are no terror camps in Pakistan?? These are our real failures.

You are just too embarrassed to acknowledge that IAF has massively called Pakistan's bluff and humiliated your army and country in the meanwhile.

We are calling it another Sir je kal drama but rest assured, this time, you wont be allowed to use it as brownie points for your domestic politics. The real strike is coming your way.

watch DG ISPR media conference live on TV...just because an 'e' is missing everyone is having a heartattack

But we have this -

batrasi jungle mansehra district

Which fits in with Balakot.

 

[Areesh]

Which fits in with Balakot.

Yes

Indians failed to execute their mission whatever it was. They took a pot shot most probably while in air of AJK and ran away.

This is the situation.

Defence minister Khattak said they dropped “bomb”not fuel tank and our airforce was ready, but couldn’t take action because they failed to immediately assess the damage situation on ground due to dark.

Lol seriously he said like this "PAF was contemplating what happened on the ground to retaliate of enemy jets entered into there airspace.".Nice response mechanism PAF has developed...Survey the areas , asses the damage and then act...LOL

Good response. One of the other aspect we need to ponder, why could the Pak AWACS not pick up these IAF jets well before the entered Pakistan airspace? I think the reason these AWACS could not do this is because India has managed to find a weakness in Pakistan's AD layers. This is just my personal opinion.
