Gentlemen,
Today's Indian Tri-Service briefing highlights the utter failure of Indian Air Defences, and the sheer incompetency of the Indian Air Force. I write this brief based on what the Indian side is saying:
Time on Target, 1000 Hours:
- Twenty Four Pakistan Aircraft, F16s, Mirages, and JF17s enter Rajauri Sector in Indian Administered Occupied Jammu and Kashmir Area, with the intention to attack military targets.
- Indian Air Force responds by 08 aircraft, Mig-21 Bisons, Sun 30Mki, and upgrades Mirage 2000s.
- Indian Air Force Prevents PAF from engaging the ground targets, and all TWENTY FOUR Pakistani Aircraft Runaway.
- Indian Air Force gives chase, and shoots down ONE F-16. It falls in Pakistani Territory.
- In the ensuing air battle, ONE Mig-21 Bison is shot down and its pilot due to wind lands in Pakistan.
- One mangled piece/rocket motor of AIM-120 Charlie 5 Air to Air Missile is Shown to Public as Evidence.
- No Evidence is Shown on Balakot Attack, and all the other claims.
Points to be Considered
- Pakistan's Air Force undertakes the attack in Broad daylight, and with a forewarning.
- Pakistan successfully demonstrates Air and Land SOW and BVR capability without any interception.
- Pakistan successfully demonstrates its superior planning and execution skills.
- Pakistan further demonstrates its dominance on the air battle, network centricity, and on the complete EW spectrum.
- Pakistan sends 24 aircraft, and as per Indian Claims, and IAF claims to be able to shoot down only one, that too not over Indian Soil
- India fails to intercept, and allows to escape 23 enemy aircraft in a single air raid.
- Indian Aircraft are all top of the line, all BVR capable, all networked, all with CFDs, and all with latest MWS, Su30 with IRST, and all with AEW support.
- Pakistan claims to have shot down two aircraft. One wreckage on Pakistani side, another wreckage on Indian side.
- Successful rescue, arrest and medical treatment of Indian Pilot from Kashmiri mob, who, after years of Indian atrocities, make an attempt to take it out on the pilot.
- No talk from Indian side on the pilots of aircraft wreckage on Indian side, they claim to be technical on Indian side.
- Alleged successful usage of JF17, F16 etc against the most modern aircraft of IAF
- Missing wreckage of alleged F16, with no public posting, despite social media being rampant on Pakistani side of J&K where allegedly the F16 fell.
Conclusion
Indian Air Force has proved to be an embarrassment to their country, and to fighter pilots everywhere. They need to really reconsider what they are doing, and not fly any further till they rethink their involvement in becoming an election tool for the BJP party. If they want to continue to put up this kind of show and further embarrass themselves and their entire country, they don't deserve to wear fighter wings. If they are really the best of what India can produce, Pakistan has nothing to fear.
Maybe the Indian ACM, AOC for the Sector, and Deputy CAS Ops call it a day.
