What's your fetish with shooting the Brahmos? DGISPR clearly mentioned, it was not shot down, It fell down on its own
ISPR is also Pakistan militaty's propoganda tool. Its not a script from holly book to be taken as is. Lying, misinformation or false information is a part of military tactics. India officially has been lying through out. They were very silent and very late to give any official explanation as well after 27 Feb.
Those stating if intercepted the missile should have shattered and fallen down in pieces must have been runing trials every day? They absolutely know how a missle looks like if intercepted vs crashed?
A shrapnel or 2 from Air defence system's missle hiting the engine are enough to bring down a missle or a jet. I also would assum incase of crashing, all the metal should have folded towards the nose. We see that the missle more seems like to be flattened? What can cause a missle to become flattened like that?
I won't discount both possibilities however people loosing their brains and going nuts is beyond me! A few of the profiles spewing hatred and trying create chaos should be banned permanently from PDF. PDF is no place for immature jumping kids.
@The Eagle please cleanup the thread kindly.
Australia cricket team is in Pk. This act could have been deliberate to send them back and destroy Pakistani cricket. I am very sure PAF & PA is capable enough. Our intelligence is also focussed enough to exactly know what our enemy is upto. Response shall come if needed.
Only non debatable information present at hand is:
1. Pakistan has India's latest missle in hand, relatively intact, to reverse engineer/ analyse.
Debatable information:
1. Pakistan's air defence failed/ was slow/ response not optimal.
2. Pakistan did intercept the missile but didn't announce. To keep confusion in enemy about which system was used to intercept? Its capability etc. Plus let indians make their own guesses if it really crashed down on its own or was brought down? Should we celebrate or be pissed?
3. Pakistan might already have solid intelligence from ISI that India is trying to send a dud missile into Pakistan. Pakistan chose to not destroy it, reverse engineer it instead. At the same time, not giving our Air defence capabilities away.
4. Pakistan might be playing it down to not damage return of cricket and Australian team tour. We might respond later and unleash all surprises later.
5. It was really a case of missle going rouge. It fell when fuel ran out. PAF response still questionable.
Nothing can be said with conviction. People should stop jumping like rabbits and focus on gathering more info.
Also, wasn't J10C i duction ceremony was planned today at 11th March? Maybe a few days gap in our response is need of the hour. Lets watch, we weren't let down by our forces before and InShaAllah we will never be!
Those talking shot should be ashamed of their frustrated selfs. Get mental checkuo done.
