IAF fighter jets forced Delhi bound AN-12 UR-11316 cargo plane to land in Jaipur

[crankthatskunk]

NEW DELHI: Indian Air Force fighter jets forced a Georgian cargo plane flying from Karachi to New Delhi to land in the northern city of Jaipur on Friday after it allegedly violated Indian airspace.

The An-12 aircraft was intercepted by two Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets after it deviated from its scheduled flight path, the Indian Air Force (IAF) said.

“The aircraft did not follow the authorised Air Traffic Services route and was not responding to radio calls from Indian controlling agencies,” the IAF said in a statement.

“The aircraft was shadowed and forced to land at Jaipur for necessary investigation.”

Hundreds of commercial and cargo flights have been affected by the recent tension between India and Pakistan.

Restrictions over Pakistani airspace have forced international airlines including those from India to take costly and lengthy detours.

At least it can intercept a cargo plane

 

[ADIL SHERDIL]

Now they will say that plane was carrying thousands of terrorist and were holding isi documents and maps for there future attack in India.

Article mentions unscheduled. MoD statement mentions unscheduled quoting pilots who themselves said upon being intercepted by fighter pilots that its an unscheduled flight.
Even if it is not. It changed its course. Why? Maybe a technical glitch. ATC repeatedly tried to establish contact, it didnt respond after which jets were scrambled. Aircraft didnt even respond to Jets at first and did only after got warning of getting shot down.
That sounds normal to u?

That is for INDIA to find out!

That's quiet a morale booster for IAF since they have been shooting crows and baloons lately.

Something like "ISI planned a 9/11 on Noida, New Delhi with a Georgian plane"?.
