How PAF Prevented an Israeli Attack on Pakistan's Nuclear Assets

[somebozo]

That's my point. Pakistani f-16s were the oldest version. They could not go there and back. That's why f-16 pilots were asked who would volunteer to attack domina and basically never return. I don't think the US was really playing close attention since the USSR was their main concern at the time in Afghanistan.

How will you attack dimona?? when you are even unable to penetrate air space?? and how will you trespass half a dozen countries in the path?? Being an arm chair general is very different than actual military planning...forget about one way mission..it was a planned suicide in the air..

Pakistan had taken Israel into confidence about its Nuclear program back in 1993 during the time of Benazir government. Pakistan not only built the confidence it also acted as a double agent in spying against Libiyan and Iranian nuclear ambitions and offered creditable intelligence to Israeli Mossad..

All such plans of supposed Israeli attack on Kahuta emerged from speculation of some western analyst and picked up by mainstream Pakistani media for chest thumping rights...there are numerous critical errors in these reports if one dissects them with careful attention to details..We have made our armed institution hero on fighting such imaginary threats while they are of no use in combating actual threats...

We can with Israel but tell them do solve the Palestinian problem... The world will certainly live peacefully after that problem is solved...

u're naive

If you have a problem with your wife do you ask your neighbor to come and solve it??
And beside what actual support we are getting from the arabs on Kashmir ?? beside useless OIC resolutions?

Would that country have been Jordan? Why not station f-16s there instead of mirages?

The threat first emerged from Israel in early 80's, and the Mirages were the more mature strike platform.

Actually you go to counselling.

I think its time you put your country first. What has the Palestinian issue given to your country since the creation of your country? Nothing!! While the Saudis, Turks, and majority of other Muslim countries have enjoyed working with the Israelis. Have you solved the Kashmir problem in the past 70 years, even with so many wars and conflicts? Not sure when Pakistanis will learn that the diplomatic relations is the only way to live and get things accomplished in today's globe.

The only fact relevant here is that if there were more Muslim countries friends with Israel, you could use the diplomatic ties to create some solution to this. Israel is a huge military power and it doesn't care about one or ten countries, like Pakistan doesn't care about even the US when it comes to their own national interests. So, the ONLY pressure you use can use, is a pressure through peaceful negotiations and through using diplomatic relations.

The attack was not going to be done with the F-16. There was a plan to stage Mirages in a friendly country that was also hostile to Israel, but it was a one way trip.

Well such a country could only be Iraq and Syria and both of them were unfriendly towards Pakistan...so again flop logic..

No Jordan has friendly releations with Israel...

Some Pakistanies are complaining about Israelies selling weapons to India, but yet they don't even acknowledge israel's existence.
What would they expect?

Like I said,
Israel is currently within range of Pakistani missiles and nukes and vice versa. Israel and Pakistan has no reason to fight with each other.

Israel was already nuclear power at 80's.
Attackin it's nuclear plant would be a suicide attack by Pakistanies.

The same way the Israelis attracted Iraqs N-power plant. They want over hostile territory. Air defence wasn't that great back then so it was of no worry for Israels superior tech. S.arabia was not so hostile to Israel so they could've taken that route to India.

What timeframe was this?

 

[DJ_Viper]

The Eighties was the GOLDEN period in US Pakistan relationship

Because of the Afghan war

US knew about Pakistan's Nuclear program but turned a Blind eye

Only after Soviet withdrawl did US put sanctions on Pakistan--Pressler Amendment

But still US was closer to Pakistan than India TILL the Kargil war

It was in 1999 Kargil war that US supported India for the first time

My point is that India NEVER considered attacking Pakistani Nuclear facilities

The Israeli proposal was REJECTED immediately by India

Pakistan was a US ally and we were NOT foolish to attack it

If some one could attack Pakistan in the Eighties ; it was Soviet Union

But they were only interested in Afghanistan
