IAF Sukhoi Blitz:Excl: Sukhoi scares passenger planes

[Peaceful Civilian]

the radar picked up a weather balloon? something that Chinese used a a while back to spy on the Indian side?

I think those are crappy radar. They can't perform well in bad weather....

Which radar are you talking about?

Might be some one from Jupiter...It has some strange quarrel with India...That damn planet, playing games putting people's lives at risk

UPDATE : Culprit found!

 

[RISING SUN]

Facking Indian media sensationalising/headline grabbing for all they're worth. Definetion of "blitz" an intensive or sudden military attack. Is the what really happened here? Or a case of a technical glitch that lasted for a short period and happens across the world on a daily basis?

question is if iaf detected it on ibl then paf would also have detected it. Why did they not scrambled there jets. I feel they made two findings there. 1st checking response time taken from haldwara afb and our defence tracking network.

I am confused, which Pakistani radar? the item detected was a weather balloon blown into India from the Pakistani side.

NEW DELHI: An IAF fighter being scrambled to intercept an unidentified flying object (UFO) coming from Pakistan and breaching its assigned flying level, and another military aircraft trying to land on a closed runway, both on the same day, had civilian aviation authorities screaming "near-misses" earlier this month.

In the more serious incident on February 20, a Sukhoi-30MKI fighter apparently breached its assigned flying level to come dangerously close to two passenger aircraft but still could not be contacted by the ATC to correct its course. Fortunately, a tragedy was averted with the passenger aircraft successfully staying clear of the Sukhoi.

"The civilian air traffic control had assigned this aircraft flying level of 22,000 feet. The aircraft instead went way higher and went to 35,600 feet. This level and the adjoining level was assigned to two international airliners, one of Thai, other KAR Airways," said a highly-placed aviation official.

IAF, however, said the Sukhoi had been scrambled to intercept a UFO which was detected moving towards the international border with Pakistan near Amritsar. "The UFO later turned out to be a weather balloon adrift. There was no near-miss," said an IAF officer.

But civilian authorities maintained that the Sukhoi, while wrongly ascending in the Amritsar airspace, breached the minimum vertical safety level with the two civilian aircraft which, between them were carrying over 500 passengers. Instead of the minimum 1,000-feet separation, the Sukhoi was just 700 feet away from the planes while wrongly zooming up the stratosphere.

During these hair-raising moments, the ATC frantically tried to contact the Sukhoi but could not establish contact with the pilot. But the scarier bit came when the plane landed in Ambala. "We were told that the defence authorities asked the pilot as to what happened and why did he deviate from his assigned level. And the pilot reportedly told the authorities that his aircraft's altitude measuring machine (altimeter) was not working," said the official.

The other incident took place when an IAF AN-32 transport aircraft came close to wrecking havoc on other aircraft in the vicinity by trying to land on a closed runway at the Delhi airport. Aviation officials said the AN-32 was supposed to land on runway 09 but instead tried to land on runway 10. "We detected the anomaly at the last moment and guided it to its designated runway. There seems to have been some fault at the pilot's end," the official said.

A 20 minute blitz mid air put lives of over 500 passengers onboard 2 international flights at risk -- when an Indian Air Force Sukhoi flight came dangerously close to them. The incident happened on the 20th of this month lead to many frantic calls from the Delhi radar controller to the Sukhoi which couldn't be reached.

RUBBISH.

UNSAFE DISTANCE FOR AIRMISS IS 500 Feet as per DGCA.

MILITARY Standard is 1 Feet.

KEEP CALM.

Happens, ATC has to increase and modernize it's infrastructure as it seems.

Already posted and busted.

Good to see you back ....

This is what like the 5th incident in the last 2 years.The last one was IAF plane landing on the wrong runway in Delhi and the second last in Pune where the Su 30 came very close to a Spicejet flight

 

[jaiind]

Which radar are you talking about?

perhaps he is getting info about abbotabad radars. where it can detect a small pin in the sky for very long ranges

 

[viper46]

and where is ISI in that??? the most believable part of any story in india.
