Challenging the Pakistani claim of shooting down an Indian MIG-27

[Ganga]

I am posting this because there are basically two versions as far as this incident is concerned.During the kargil conflict Fl Lt Nachiketa bailed out and his Mig-27 crashed .The Pakistani's claim that a shoulder fired missile had brought it down and the Indians say that the engine had flamed out.In a war there will obviously be two versions and being an Indian i would like to believe the Indian version that his engine flamed out.A few moments before ejecting he had fired a salvo of 40 rockets in one go.This is against convention and rockets are generally fired in short bursts.The smoke plume thus generated entered the engine and choked it thus gradually cutting out the engine.Here is the full story
The IAF in the Kargil Operations - 1999 - Flt Lt K Nachiketa

It is true that Ahuja's Mig-21 was shot down while he was trying to locate Nachiketa on the ground.In fact if i am not wrong the official Indian version has always been that 1 jet and 1 heli host to enemy fire.In the case of Nachiketa the benefit of doubt goes to India as no independent observer had seen him being shot down.

Whenever a thread about Kargil comes up Pakistanis here start posting pics of the two wreckages but unfortunately we may never know the truth of what exactly happened.

Do you expect them to respect him or what? Stop expecting such things from those who lost war. You are too much!

Really?

Are you suggesting that the Pakistanis are greenhorns when it comes to working and maintaining a ship?

Karachi port was a self ignition too! I am waiting for you to say that too!

How are you any better then him if you had reported the post, let the mods deal with it. But then again you had to come out of the closet as well. Auz shouldnt have said what he said, and you should mind your mouth as well.

Tolerance has its own Limits.... When No Actions are taken, Its wise to deal it yourself

And talking is cheap, one should not preach what he cant practice. You should rather then complaining about it look at the forum, and see for your self the shenanigans that your own brethren play day in day out. Yes you are right Tolerance has its own limits. But if we all start shooting, how will we make it a better place.

If you think Indians are Whining, please close the thread and give an infraction...Why are you encouraging flames. As for screwing himself and ending up a POW, i think you have a short memory of POW's.

Since most people who post here do not belong to the services there is a small issue that needs highlighting.

Respect for the dead including the enemy is one of the first virtues of soldiers the world over.

Calling a dead enemy names is not appreciated at all.

But Nacheketha is not dead!...Or did i miss something??

But Nacheketha is not dead!...Or did i miss something??

The ref was not to Nachiketa , this is a trend here .

All soldiers fight for their countries with the same zeal & follow orders thoughtlessly.

Hence the post.
