Group Captain Abhinandan V to get Vir Chakra from President for the false claim of shooting down F-16 on 27 Feb

[Abu Shaleh Rumi]

man got shot down and taken captive behind enemy lines, all in the service of his country.

Where is bravery in it?

vir literally translates to brave

Every Bangladeshi know what vir/bir means...

No doubt that under adverse circumstances, the IAF officer played exceptional professionalism thus needs to be acknowledged but as can be seen, the citation mentions his achievements that never occurred or existed.....this false bravado thus erodes the core values of the officer and the force.

He doesn’t have a choice anymore and is happy to ride this false narrative crap. Some say he spilled the beans immediately while others say he was as professional as possible before eventually breaking.
Apparently he was very useful in providing the various approaches to Srinagar and gave an overview of the ADGE in the area.
But, in terms of his conduct he was very professional and cordial although it could be said that also came from the way his captors treated him post the civilian beating.

He may have the professionalism curve but doesn't looks to be a tough cookie to crack.
Getting awarded almost three years later on a non occasion date raises the question if the new IAF Air chief played a role to make him go with the flow.
And yes, overcome by emotions at his treatment by captors were also obvious during his video message.

Begs the question why Indians don't feel proud on 27 Feb. IAF scored F16 on that day. Wouldn't they like hold a lil ceremony or something on this date to inspire and motivate themselves?

If Indians can call their own soldiers with dented faces held captive by Chinese as Pakistani actors then issuing fake medals or other awards is as Indigenious as Modi giving an English class.

Shameless endians at it again they really have no shame

Soon those Jawan who got wallop and humiliated at Galwan by PLA will also get heroic medal award from Indian president.

One of the most ridiculous things I have seen in years!!!!! OMG! There must be a lot of truth in Indians living in some fantasy land. An Oz. A made-up Bollywood world! A parallel universe. Decades ago, India shot down a Pakistani plane near the India-Pakistan border. Atlantis from Pakistan Navy? Several people were killed. While Pakistan claimed that was inside the Pakistani territory and India claimed otherwise, Pakistan had accepted the loss and moved on.

The most important takeway is Indians lie. Their claim of PNS Ghazi etc are debunked anyway but such actions question their past claims.

Such a drama nation. Instead, they call it bravery and serve the nation... should be enough to give the award. This False ceremony...even LH must be laughing ....

Repeat a lie long enough and have an idiotic and/or delusional audience and it will become the truth.

Vir Chakra is right .. giving the entire world the Chakar on a man who was shot down with his missiles on the railing and this lying piece of fecal matter Bhaktora party will suck this narrative to the last drop because they like the ego orgasm it gives with their low bars for it.

why so much bitterness and cribbing over someone getting a Vir Chakra, after all it's not Param Vir Charka or Mahavir Chakra which Col. Santosh Babu got over the Galwan episode?

The award citation makes amply clear, shooting down a f16 isn't the only reason for him getting the gallant award, his action put a spanner in the Pakistani plan.

And btw if Abhinandan can't claim of shooting down a f16, what is the evidence of shooting down of India Su30, for which PAF pilot got an gallant award and you all cheered it?

Also don't talk about those four missiles, nobody in India believes it, at least I don't as crash videos show zero presence of right side R73 missile though Pakistan later displayed three big broken pieces of it.

He may have the professionalism curve but doesn't looks to be a tough cookie to crack.

Getting awarded almost three years later because there was no gallantry award giving ceremonies could be held for last two years due to Covid. His recommendation for the award was given way back in 2020 and one can easily get media reports on it.
