Attack on PAF Base Minhas

[Safriz]

Yar you cant believe how much detailed the intelligence agencies report was, they even mentioned the number of suicide jackets bought,when bought and even the number of cars and where they are parked ...The dates were also there ....then it was the duty of police to tighten up the screws but they again proved to be fats a$$ ducks ,that are good for nothing

The intelligence was there 4 months ago and was even known to general Public that something is going to happen...
So ISI had done their job...

Geo news again reporting that the damaged aircraft was an AWAC

I must add the Indian perspective.

Indian news channels are not covering this attack on PAF airbase, news as big news.

So, it tells about the obsession.

Or the guilty feeling?

The timing and date of the attack suggest that it could very well be a foreign assisted attack. A very sacred night it was and the terrorists must have thought that majority would be busy praying. Remember Yom Kippur war?

Geo news again reporting that the damaged aircraft was an AWAC

The air force hasn't released any confirmation yet..so GEO is only speculating...
But using logic..It was known that SAAB will be attacked..The intelligence was there 4 months ago..so it can be assumed that security was tight around the AWACS and the damaged plane was some other.

This has been discussed in the thread already..
But Taliban have Monkeys to do with SAAB AWACS and such specialist targets...
If it were Taliban they had come,shot dead as many Uniformed men and civilians then ran to a Crowded place and blasted themselves...
Taliban don't go after strategic assets..
This is certainly a Proxy attack by a country who will benefit from destruction of SAAB AWACS and we all know the countries , not just the country.

Even if we assume whatever you are saying is correct yet the bigger question would be why is that these proxies are able to penetrate areas which are supposedly well guarded??? I can understand if there is slippage in one place but when the same pattern repeats then the first thing one should do is look inwards, no???

The thing that baffles me instead of my every effort to divert myself is ...These il-literate talibans dont know even a,b,c of any aircraft then how these a$$ holes left all the aircrafts and specifically targeted erieye ..

even if they were educated they would have targeted the fighter aircrafts or helicopters that are smacking their a$$ and not an AWAC aircraft

Do whatever or hide wherever believe me and i bet on that they had some foreign hand with them .... go prove me wrong

They are among us in the form of Afghan refugees...

Buddy, every now and then, you dish-out these sweeping statements about 'foreign hand', 'afghan hand', 'pakhtoon finger'. May I ask that: If IB, MI, FIA, PI, PNI, FNA, ISI all provided you with real-time terminals, hooked up directly into your computer screen?

Indian perspective is big damage, which fortunately for us and unfortunately for Indians did not happen this time, all militants dead with one casualty on military side with no major damage to infrastructure results in a failed operation, thus nothing to talk about it.

Anyway Pak media will take the issue in a day or two in its tak shows.

Attacking air bases always has been strategy to De-moralize the armed forces involved in the operation. LTTE also executed a daring raid inside Anuradhapuram Air base in srilanka. But however Srilanka reacted strongly by attacking LTTE Political head quarters using precision guided bombs, the attack killed SP Tamil Selvan and Alex head of LTTE Military Intelligence wing. Sheer optical value of an aircraft is always high in Asian Countries. That is why the loss of an aircraft always attracts Public attention. For example take this thread As of now it has crossed more than 95 Pages, If any thread regarding to the loss of soldiers in conflict would not take this much of pages or receive this much of comments.

Thats what the local villagers were saying..
In any other night the terrorists would have been noted moving across the terrain..
But that was Shab-e-Qadar and Locals were awake moving in the area going to mosques and coming back...So the terrorist movement was camouflaged among locals.....

I noticed it too,saw news channels all day went through google news but didn't see anything related to it,only got to know about the incident in the evening after seeing it on PDF.

With no intention of proving you wrong i would like to bring in few points..

It is a myth that these people are illitrates...These people(not referring only to taliban) have penetrated the so called elite class way back...As far as foreign hand is concerned then one should not rule out any possibility...However just because they attacked Erieye and not Mirage or JF17 and thus bound to have a foreign hand is probably not the right conclusion...I mean had they attacked a JF17 then still we could have deduced the same arguments and claimed that it has a foreign angle...
