a forward operating base which often handles Mig29s mainly with Mig21s also. Mi17 and Alouttes also fly from here.
Well the 6 crew could have taken up few helicopters as these are relatively easy to fly or destroy planes/helicopters

What kind of planes / helicopters were stationed at the location I doubt anyone can fly a fighter jet
 
.
Now what did they achieve? Some bullets?

Gunmen have attacked an Indian air force base near the border with Pakistan, officials say.

Gunfire is being heard from inside the Pathankot air force base and army commando units and helicopters have been called in.

Two attackers were killed, said Indian Defence Ministry spokesman Nitin Wakankar.

Officials say a hijacked police car was used in the attack and the gunmen were wearing Indian army uniforms.

The attack was launched at about 03:30 (22:00 GMT Friday) by four or five assailants, according to local news sources.

The incident comes just days after the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, met in Lahore to launch a surprise peace initiative.

In August seven people were killed when gunmen stormed a police stationin nearby Gurdaspur district.

The three attackers in Gurdaspur were killed after a 12-hour standoff with police.

Pathankot air force base is about 430km (270 miles) north of the Indian capital, Delhi.

It lies on the road linking Indian-administered Kashmir with the rest of the country, near to the border with Pakistan.

Indian-administered Kashmir has seen a long-running insurgency against rule from Delhi, and Kashmir has been a flashpoint in relations between Pakistan and India for nearly 70 years.
