India Deployed Combat Jets Mistaking Migratory Birds for Pakistani Drones

India is a joke.

Is a Chinook smaller than a fighter jet.........Pakistani radar couldn't pick up a goddamned Chinook used in the Osama raid......

That's slower.. Pakistani radars do not waste their time and energy on smaller or slower things

I am happy to know that we can detect evn bird size target.

Shows the level of alertnessby IAF.... and the fact that the redars picked up even bird sized objects makes me doubly assured of our forces preperedness to avert any threat emerging from enemy country.

India had scrambled scores of fighter jets to tackle migratory birds for weeks mistaking them for enemy drones in a sensitive border region.


The Indian Air Force (IAF) deployed fighter aircraft after radars flagged unsolicited intrusion into Indian territories along the border region in the western state of Gujarat.

As soon as the jets started flying, the "enemies" disappeared from the radar, but resurfaced once the jets had gone. These perplexed Indian officials for weeks before they could discover that the "intruders" were actually flocks of migratory birds.

According to an IAF report, cited by The Indian Express, between December 2012 and February 2013, radars had detected the potential targets as "slow-moving tracks of variable heights of 4 to 6 km and variable speed from 100 to 250kmph".

The birds were swift enough to vanish from the radar using strong tail winds in the region.

As their flying speeds coincide with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), the Indian forces began a tactical response by scrambling the fighter jets and deploying other aircraft.

Shortly after the "intrusion", officials asked local bird sanctuaries about the migration in Gujarat and experts confirmed that the intruders were only birds.

IAF officials have also begun following other birds' migratory patterns in the region to take appropriate steps.

Gujarat shelters one of India's most important air bases as it is located near the sensitive border with Pakistan.

Obviously ,radar target identification issues. I am surprised that indian military did not use its akash missiles against the so called drones.

no, your highness is specially designed for parade only, like Arjun, LCA and LCH

I am happy to know that we can detect evn bird size target.

what an ignorant Indian``lol
every other nation's radars can detect birds or even smaller objects (yours are all imported anyway)

but the funny part is that the so called 'software power' cant make decent lines of soft to differentiate possible artificial objects from living creatures`

India makes me LAUGH.....not long about they mistook Venus and Mars for Chinese drones and now birds as Pakistani Drones ????



India is the world's laughing stock and yet nationalistic Indians talk about being able to fight a two-front war with China and Pakistan !!!

Your avatar makes me laugh to death....

I'm not sure why so many Pakistani members find this funny. If Indian radars are sensitive enough to pickup birds then they can surely pickup aircraft. More alarming for Pakistan is that the Indians can quickly scramble aircraft to a perceived threat while Pakistani airspace has been violated on a regular basis without them having a clue.

Don't take cover for Indian stupidity, they won't buy more Russian weapon due to your 'justice'.

You are asking too much from Indians, only mighty IAF will scramble jets for migratory birds. The event shows the ignorance of IAF about local birds. The good thing is they didn't shoot down those birds, or they will be accused of indiscriminate killing animals.

Instead of scramble jets, IAF could reach those birds by what be done in the picture.

Wow ...I sense too much paranoia here.. the Chinese members are so scared there are comparing Might Black Drag queen to Motor cycle stuntmen

I'm afraid copy cat Chinese will steal this idea and may force Poor Chinese citizens to fly over Himalayas
