Interview of Balakot strikes commander Air Marshal C Hari Kumar

[IndianGuy_]

Indian source??? They claimed 300 dead .... a 70 kg will blow a concrete roof off .... I have seen damage in Pakistan from suicide bombing of 25-30 kg...... what kind of bomb will leave roof him intact, no fire, no shattered windows and make 350 bodies disappear ??

Pls pls pls try to make some sense ...

IAF sources have recently confirmed that the Mirages had used the ‘penetrator’ version of the SPICE 2000 glide bomb, which has a 907 kg hard metal reinforced casing with an embedded ‘low mass’ TNT warhead of 70–80 kg of net explosive quantity (NEQ). This version is designed to target reinforced concrete installations like C2 centres, penetrating deep before carrying out a low mass explosion to eliminate all with shrapnel and a blast over pressure wave, and not necessarily collapsing the targeted installation. The IAF is confident that this is what has happened at Balakot. This theory is reinforced by the statement of Maulana Ammar, the younger brother of the JeM boss Masood Azhar, that the madrassa complex at Jabba top has indeed been hit by Indian bombs; as well as through discreet interviews with eyewitnesses in the area amid a media clampdown by the Pakistani army.

Another report.

Quoting Indian media is like calling someone’s fart as music.... only to Indians this nonsense and fiction makes sense.
Had 1000 object even without explosive had fallen on tin roof structure it would have obliterated the entire madrassa and we would see a giant hole visible to naked eyes ....

Enough bro go sip your piss mango juice and enjoy.

Yet you take whatever ISRP says as truth. You choose to live in a parallel reality in which India burned down a few trees yet Pakistan almost risked war by targeting Indian military installations the very next day.

You choose to believe that Pakistan airforce spooked Indians so bad that they didn't hit back. Yet our air space opened up the same day, while not so spooked Pakistan shut it for 6 Months LOL.

I am not interested in bursting your bubble, but you keep asking me questions but don't like the answers.

Please show me where I said I believe in ISPR?
The truth is crystal clear and tons of proof in the form of satellite imagery, on site inspection , media visits, videos and pictures .

I believe in the following and prove me wrong:

India came and crossed Pakistani territory at night and dropped five bombs.... all missed the target and this is proven by satellite views . India claimed that they fired six missiles . Satellites only showed five craters 100 m from the target.
They all missed the target no ifs and buts.
There’s is no magical/mythical bomb that would knock on the door , ring the bell and kill every one inside and then go 100 m away and self detonate .

Why doesn’t India release camera footage and prove itself true????

The very next day in broad day light after we announced we will come and we sent 24 planes . They crossed into Indian territory ( see Indian ministry of defence handout attached) and bombed six targets in broad day light.

We even released the impact video of one bomb as a proof.

We shot down one Mig21 and captured pilot. No dispute here since he was sipping tea at our mess . We fired AMRAAM that scared away your almighty Su30s....

This is all etched in stone.

Now your country proved yourself to be a complete coward and never dared to save your pilot or retaliated in air or on land ....
the mighty Indian forces simply went into hiding and never dared to cross border .
Your army chief was missing for almost two months ... no interview nothing.
Rest are all speculations and gossips ....

World is full of idiots and IAF has proved itself to be a bench mark by riding politicians bandwagon.

SPICE 2000 is nothing more than a kit fitted on MK 83/84 dumb bombs.Pakistan is one of the manufacturers of Mk series of bomb so don't tell us how these thing hit and blast.

The Mark 84 has a nominal weight of 2,000 lb (907 kg), but its actual weight varies depending on its fin, fuze options, and retardation configuration, from 1,972 to 2,083 lb (894 to 945 kg). It is a streamlined steel casing filled with 945 lb (429 kg) of Tritonal high explosive.

The Mark 84 is capable of forming a crater 50 feet (15 m) wide and 36 ft (11 m) deep. It can penetrate up to 15 inches (38 cm) of metal or 11 ft (3.4 m) of concrete, depending on the height from which it is dropped, and causes lethal fragmentation to a radius of 400 yards (370 m).​

It's same Mk83/84 bombs fitted with SPICE guidence kits being sold to IAF,about which your Air Force puts idiotic claim of having 70 kg Exp.
While from IMD,

Israel's Ministry of Defense is restocking supplies of 250-pound, 1,000-pound and 2,000-pound SPICE systems expended during the Gaza war. Developed by state-owned Rafael, SPICE integrates an electro-optical guidance kit onto inexpensive standard Mk-82, Mk-83 and Mk-84 bombs, which the IAF uses as a high-end option to the US-produced JDAM.​

That's because India used Spice 2000 bomb. Those are penetration oriented. They drill through surface like concrete even and then cause an explosion once entered.

According to Indian sources the satellite images they have show the bombs went through the roof and did the job. They aren't your typical Michael Bay movie type explosive bombs, India wanted to kill terrorist not put up a diwali show.



Maybe not ask a baby and actually research about different kinds of missiles and bombs before trying to sound funny.

What a piece of bullcrap .. An explosion that kills dozens of humans cannot be sustained by brick cement walls......

O bhai . Penetrater version will explode inside. .. Do u think a brick cement walls can stand explosion of several hundred kgs of high explosives? ??

I have seen roof caving in when a hand grenade was thrown into a room in a video from syria


A 2000pound bomb going through shoddy construction of madrassa will destroy the building even if it fails to explode


And what about those craters at side of mountain the up rooted trees and dead crow... .


Who do u think killed that crow? ?

Please show respect to our Captain kale khan shaheed from black crow brigade.... may he Rest In Peace.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

However, the Spice-2000 bombs used in the Balakot strikes were the penetrator version which made holes using their weight in the concrete rooftops of the buildings in the Jaish camp which don't destroy buildings but explode inside killing people with the mix of 70-80 kg explosives with shrapnel.

From one of the reports on India's successful surgical strike.

Chutiye this is what allegedly 200kg of exploration did in pulwama:

Here is aftermatch of 400kg/808 lbs:

Spice bomb, parts:

 

[Areesh]

.

So you think Pakistan shut down its airspace because of IAF attack threat? Like IAF was about to ask permission from Pakistan to attack it so Pakistan shut down its air space

You bharatis are so dumb. Can you see the lack of logic in this argument?

Also you yourself admitted that Spice 2000 that IAF used weighed around 1000 kg. Now any object weighing 1000 kg and travelling at mach 0.8 can complete destroy any building even if its warhead doesn't explode but yet the wooden tin shed building of that madarsa remained standing

Again see lack of logic. It is all simple physics but it is too much to understand for you bharatis

Anyways here the neutral sources calling your operation a failure:


And here is another neutral source again saying the same thing but in different words:

https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/indias-strike-on-balakot-a-very-precise-miss/

Now keep believing in lies of your government and your airforce. Just don't waste our time arguing those lies with us

 

[SQ8]

Laughing at the ideas of “Bombs drilling through” theories like these weapons came straight out of cartoons.
Online Indians have zero intellectual integrity.

 

[SMC]

Guys, you are embarassing yourself again. These "strikes" have been debunked throughout the world as fake. They literally have satellite images that show zero damage to the compound. How do you explain that?

I've heard some conspiracy theories with respect to bombs that don't damage the roof but damaged the interior. You mean to say the bombs had no impact on the structure but was successful in killing 300+ people? Explosions that kill that many people are usually very strong. It's embarrassing really. No one except India is buying these claims. Just check out international media and defence websites - Indian claims are literally the butt of jokes. Just take the loss and end it, instead of making it worse.

 

[Daghalodi]

Hahahahaha

The Sh*t indians have to make to support their fake airforce claims.

1000kg bombing drilling tin rooftops, explosions only killing humans

 

[IndianGuy_]

So you think Pakistan shut down its airspace because of IAF attack threat?

Well that explains their precondition while reopening it in July.

They wanted India to move IAF's forward line back to its bases to reopen it. I guess they did that because they were of the opinion that India might retaliate for Feb 28th.

However we didn't. Because our objective was to dismantle terror camps in Balakot which we did and not start a war. We don't have a history of starting a war, you'd find that in any history books.

You guys have a history of bull shitting and squatting in open at every decent web forum. Have some shame and do read your own comments after typing .... it will give you a good laugh.
