IAF violated Pakistan air space| Forced to return

[Awesome]

There is no way any airforce could intercept a hostile aircraft in that time unless they were already airborne.

Since India has denied it, its quite obvious that this is a diversionary tactic.

First the "Hoax Call" from Pranab Mukherjee and now this.....

India has not denied it, India has said they did it by mistake!

Big difference.

Information is not completely out, Even if it was true what would have IAF achived with the incursion of 7.4 KM ?
Pakistan's information ministers statement say's it all.

Does anybody know how many time US pilots have invertently have gone into Pakistanie Air space? Not the drones.

 

[ajpirzada]

PAF turning back IAF planes is news only for Pakistan's domestic consumption, Especially when it is said that "The aircraft flew up to 7.4km into the Lahore and Azad Kashmir sectors"

I doubt whether PAF would have time to respond on the ground even if planes were detected on RADAR.

Anyways Pakistan information minister has clarified-

This can happen when the environment is hot and whole Army can be put on alert based on hoax call.

PAF had enough time to respond. airforce starts taking steps from when enemy jets are 10Km aways from our border. under the current situation it is already on high alert with pilots waitin for the signal and jets already fully armed.
and ur plains flying 7km into lahore is not something pakistan can afford.

It was to test responses.

This was a text book attack scenario that is often quoted in India-Pak war scenarios.

An attack from Kashmir, Push into Lahore and Bombard Karachi.

Indian sources are reporting that IAF has denied it.

Come on the rules of engagement on Western Border are different and on eastern border are different...the reason they keep on violating is the poor policy of GOP,its not their courage and skills that keep them going,its the cowardice of our leaders and Politicians who keep on accepting their demands

For Eastern border,iam looking forward to see a Nachiketa and Abuja very soon....

 

[Flintlock]

An attack from Kashmir, Push into Lahore and Bombard Karachi.

Then in that case both countries know what a purported "textbook attack test" would be like.

Read that text book scenario with "inadvertent crossing of border".
Especially when PAF is already put of alert.
I doubt Sukhois were involved.

Indian planes intrude into Pakistan’s airspace


By Iftikhar A. Khan and Syed Irfan Raza


ISLAMABAD, Dec 13: Indian planes violated Pakistan’s airspace on Saturday, but fighters of the Pakistan Air Force chased them away, military as well as civilian officials confirmed late in the night.

Air Commodre Humayun Viqar Zephyr, a PAF spokesman, told Dawn that the Indian planes intruded into Pakistan’s airspace in Azad Kashmir and Lahore sectors, but left as soon as they sighted the PAF jets.

He said there was no cause for concern as the PAF was “fully alive to the situation and capable of giving a befitting reply in case of a misadventure”.

Official sources said President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani were immediately informed about the incident and the matter was taken up with the Indian authorities.

Information Minister Sherry Rehman confirmed that Islamabad had got in touch with authorities in New Delhi, implicitly conceding that the violation did take place. But she hastened to add that Indians had done it inadvertently.

Analysts, however, described as ‘meaningful’ the ‘inadvertent’ intrusion of Pakistan’s airspace in two different sectors on the same day for the first time in recent memory.

They termed it a deliberate attempt on the part of India to create a war hysteria instead of responding positively to Pakistan’s offers of cooperation in investigations into the Mumbai carnage.

CJCSC MEETS PRESIDENT: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, Gen Tariq Majeed, called on President Asif Ali Zardari here on Saturday and discussed professional matters with him.

Sources said the situation in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks came under discussion during the meeting.

They said Gen Majeed briefed the president on the state of preparedness of the armed forces.

TROOPS ON THE MOVE?: A number of people travelling between Lahore and Rawalpindi over the past two days have come up with claims that a heavy redeployment by the army was under way.

“Long convoys of military trucks are heading towards Lahore from Jehlum,” Jawad Khan, a motorist, told Dawn.

You can't make mistakes twice! And what's been going on in the Arabian sea. You're better off making an argument that Pak is pulling all of this out their assess like Flint is rather than pursue the inadvertent angle.

You only confirm your Information Ministers statement.

What do you mean twice ? Are you clubbing it with hoax call ?

 

[Awesome]

We don't buy what she's saying.

She's probably trying to downplay the incident since questions would be raised why the incursion happened in the first place after doing everything that India had asked for.

Kashmir and Lahore.
