Attack on PAF Base Minhas

[Windjammer]

Very Sad. RIP to soldiers. But bitter fact is Pakistani members are rare guests in drone attacks thread . These attacks on security establishment thread will meet the same fate soon. Just my observation in this forum. No offence. Dont want to troll.

Ironically, i find the same with Indian members, when it comes to Insurgency in India thread. In contrast just check how many are keenly engaged in this thread..... such a shame when fresh incidents of violence in Assam are taking place.

why do you say that? ISI even warned about Mehran and GHQ attack. it has already warned possible threat to Imran Khan and other personalities.

its the job of the security of the base or a place to foil the attack. in a best possible scenario, the terrorists will be killed before they even leave their hideout to attack or will be blown to bits by hellfire from miles.

but this is not occupied territory like Afghanistan. where the Americans fancy shooting even the passers by. so reaction time is very small. but still its hell of an achievement. there is civilian population all around the base and people work on their fields, channel water from the canals to their fields and do all the daily stuff like travelling on the roads next to the base boundaries. that cant be helped. but once someone intrudes then there is a reaction and you see the results.

but Pak should take it more serious...that's good every militant shot dead, and no damage to base but what if they succeed lil damage to any military installation.... take serious measures like by restricting civilians 500 pmeter near base....etc.... and good fencing .... .Uncle sam will pressure more now.....

@ all members: why don't you guys think like this: might be some terrorists organization unable to digest good relation between India and pakistan as it is improving now a days.... may be they attacked kamra and mehran bases to escalate tension between India and Pakistan....

There are many other ways to destroy Pakistan India relation not destroying INDIA CENTRIC AIRCRAFTS in PAKISTAN AIRFORCE hop you get it!

An official denied there were nuclear weapons on the heavily guarded base, but the audacious assault would likely raise further questions in the West about the dangers of Pakistan’s atomic weapons falling into extremists' hands.

after successfully defending a militant attack on an airforce bases where security is nothing compared to security of nuclear assets, if they still have any doubts, we can do nothing but laugh at there stupidity.

Again, all attackers were killed, No target achieved by militants, no damage done to any assets!!
This mission is a success story from start to end!!

I am glad this operation is over.
But I think Pakistan must be the only nation on this planet which prepares itself after the wave hits them. GHQ, Naval base, Minhas etc are example of how prone pakistan installments are to such elements and no measurements were taken to stop such a event from occurring. Pakistan SHOULD not expect any respect from any nation when our house is not in order.

if that was the case then those terrorists would have been alive and done their maximum damage and escaped.
the news of foiling attacks dont make headlines and mostly kept away from general public in order to safeguard the people and the informants. general intel and possible threat warnings are issued by the intelligence agencies but thats virtually impossible for every single case. no doubt there will be a debrief and review how that happened and how much headsup did PAF base had about this possible attack. even after 911, there was an underwear bomber and a shoe bomber who managed to board the planes and did their job, its only that their bombs betrayed them but you can see that CIA failed to prevent that just like it failed to prevent the plane crashing into Pentagon and the twin towers before.


my dear, this war is being fought every little moment.

I think that it was managed quite well, however I have some reservations about why these people weren't noticed and reported by locals around the base in the first place, either they arrived just before attacking or they have accomplices in the village located adjacent to it.

I will agree with that preliminary assessment. They were certainly facilitated by local elements. Though (again on prima facie terms) there may have even been some internal assistance (in the planning) though not in the execution. These hypotheses will get clearer as more information on the operation itself and its result comes out. RPGs are weapons that are not so easy to secrete on one's person.
The mindset that allows (if not encourages) such manner of attacks is more intrinsic and needs to be handled more pro-actively.

But certainly a cause for concern (and action) in the relevant quarters.

Surprising thing is that they are targeting our strategic assets. They were much informed and planned that they need to destroy our spy aircraft. They were using life jackets, night vision goggles, latest weapons, they were well trained. Such attach is not expected from an ordinary person, they were having SSG type training. How come they know about the location of our strategic assets?
