Guys it is clear we should wait for more details to emerge before jumping to conclusions. Before balking the "boogy man" India one should control oneself. No link with India and terror groups has ever been proved and anyone who says it it has talking nonsense because if so where I'd the evidence and where is the official protest by the GoP? India has given thousands of pages of evidence to Pksitan over 26/11 and other attacks so surely this would be sweet revenge for the GoP? Addtionally for those inferring tht the attack had foreign finger prints just because they targeted AWACs are drawing conclusions they want to be true to absolve them of the real and more bitter truth. The TTP's motives for attacking AWACS are clear- they now see the GoP and thenPaksitani military as their enemy and hence want to inflict as much damage to their adversary as possible and hence it makes sense to attack an AWACS over say an F-16 or JF-17 in the same way it made sense to attack P-3s. The P-3s and AWACS are strategic assets, assets which Paksitan has relatively few hence taking out an Orion or Erieye would have a much larger effect on the PAF/PN and Paksitan as a whole given they are fewer in number, are much more expensive per unit to procure and replace and are "force multipliers" in themselves. Taking out an F-16 or Thunder would be damaging but clearly not as damaging as taking out a P-3 or AWACs. This is clear to any rational person so the TTP don't need to be CIA/Mossad/RAW trained or backed or Einsteins to peruse this line of attack, do they?
