we won some BATTLES and we lost some....still doesnt negate the fact that we taught your people the art of close quarter air combat in both '65 and to an extent '71
i suggest you read S. Sajad Haider's auto-bio "Flight of the Falcons" which is fairly neutral and gives a pure account of the air battles.
do that first, then shoot your mouth off
LOL.
I am sorry, Sir, that you didn't, or wouldn't get the point.
So, if we go by your word, you taught our people the art of close quarter air combat in both '65 and to an extent '71. So what?
Just to comfort you, I have read more Pakistani accounts - they are candid and refreshing, as are most Pakistanis themselves, which is why I admire them - than Indian. After appreciating the neutrality, and the very well-written accounts of the air battles, the ugly facts still stare us in the face, and there is not much point in your shooting the messenger.
Eid Mubarak, btw.
Did it actually take you two years to come up with a reply or have you just come out of a coma, let me once again remind you the subject at hand... General Chuck Yeager and the Pakistan Air Force....
It's not about the overall war or the outcome of it, ....as a former pilot, the American General was focusing on the aerial aspect of the warfare but i guess being a TT, you probably think you have the privilege to post off-topic.
I love the way we call attention to this or that or the other, as our urgent needs grip us. We have read enough about Chuck Yeager and his utterly ridiculous posturing during the actual conflict; please don't keep shoving him, or other little pets, down our throats. Enough.
What does it really matter, Sir, as long as the Pak Army is able to convince its own people that it is indeed the winner? Who cares about what the rest of the world sees.
There is something very peculiar about the situation.
ALMOST every single individual you meet from the PA, the PAF or the PN is a charming person.
Why does their collective, their gestalt personality, differ so radically?
