yet you made this post in contravention of your advice?
anyways, the posts were in line with the spirit of the thread and the logical explanation was taken up and dissected by members who understood my line of posting and adequately rebutted/responded to the same.
appreciation of the concept of conflict management and escalation, an essential to every conflict that is waged, is something which is not easily appreciated by untrained minds, and as such you can be forgiven for totally failing to appreciate how enemy preparedness/defences are probed by professional soldiers, which are in adequate numbers on both Indian and Pakistani sides.
Successful transgressions/violations without casualties have been undertaken by both sides on a regular basis from time to time, be it in air or on ground. The high standards of professionalism exhibited in conduct of such missions (which are anyways always kept out of public domain for obvious reasons) speaks volumes of both sides professional approach.
In addition, the whole exercise, of violation, and the subsequent "lock on" was covert communication, that IAF wanted PAF to know it was ready, and PAF to IAF that it was waiting.
Any Indian AC moving into Pakistani Airspace would have been shot down without any warning if it was within the legal airspace of Pakistan, and India could do naught about it, something like what happened in Atlantique incident.
The services on both sides pretty well understand the risks involved, and treat each other with respect, a respect that only professionals can share and give!
Thanks
All of the aboe is contrary to what MuradK a ACTUAL fighter pilot has stated. So your post was a total waste of time. Several senior members were told of the incident BEFORE it got reported and it was checked PRIOR to it being reported. I was even told HOW it was done (Which certain MKI fanboys find it hard to believe). SO frankly Hellfire you can rage about the details as much as you want.
