Any background on this incident would be greatly appreciated.
Where was it shot down and under what circumstances?,
Did PAF possessed any single engine Jet during 1971?
Were there any similar serial numbers used by the PAF during 1971?
@PARIKRAMA @hellfire any explanations?
Do you think there can be any explanation to what is evident? It is not new....
The other day they had painted a Sherman in Indian colors and placed it with the barrel down, something meant to be done for enemy tanks..
Dumb critters that is all one can say.
also regarding the paint, that job is usually done by contract through MES the military engineering services and that is a moot point.
But indeed hilarious to note that own tail number with what is apparently own aircraft!!!
There is no doubt that the PAF had the upper edge in 1965. One should not and can not argue to that fact.
However, one also needs to understand that the higher figures for IAF losses in 1965 also, was due to the propensity to conduct day time raids due to limited platforms for night flying and frankly, poorly trained pilots in comparison to PAF, which had the advantage of multi-national exposure and also did commendable job in various theatres of war on behalf of the Arab League and a small example of Canberra bombers with PAF, which had all weather capability by upgradation in 1963 itself.
Anyways this is indeed funny, and frankly, am not surprised. Incompetence is rampant. India managed to win wars only thanks to greater incompetence of Pakistan and not due to own brilliance.
@Waqkz I hope this satisfies your query, I have explained to the best of my knowledge (without cringing at the gross stupidity and ignorance at the same time)
"
and by this act of bravery you have not only changed the course of history but I don't see any chance PAF getting even with us...bechairay Pakistinyo ko pata hi nahin hamari taqat ka,,,haan likin ye serial number tu apne hi hain"
but he saved his nation
