PAF Heroes Who Surprised India !

Many names still not mentioned from 15 sqn.Fahad babar is a friend of mine and two other guys who aren't mentioned here.
I understand some of those involved wanted to remain anonymous, if you recall W/C Nauman wasn't keen for any publicity, however i have forwarded your comments, let's wait for the reply.
 
Finally with untiring efforts of Sir Kaiser Tufail, here is the roll of honour of the PAF Pilots involved in the operation Swift Retort that decisively delivered a telling blow on the Indian Air Force and rendered it's claims of superiority over PAF.

I'm confused, so did JF-17 not do the kill??
 
2 AMRAAMs fired, 2 AMRAAMs hit their mark...6 SOW fired, 6 SOW hit their marks.. thats a PRECISION SURGICAL STRIKE baby !!

As a side note, how do the ranks work in PAF? is a lot of Squadron Leaders and Wing Commanders in that package. How many squadron leaders would you expect to have a in a normal 18 jet squadron in the PAF ?

Is the Squadron Leader a title of experience & ability, or is it the role? I expected 1 S/L per 18 jets, etc ... Just curious ...
The strike package purposely employed experienced and senior pilots. Things could have gone badly wrong, not just in the engagement but in its results, We got 8 lockons. Did not fire except in 2 cases, where our space was infact breached. It would have led to an escalation. You don't want a hot head. You want a cool and disciplined customer.
 
No awards for him? what was his name?
He is a senior officer and yes I am too curious about whether he too will be credited with the kill or not. In the USAF and Navy it was an established practice during the Vietnam war that F4 crews always shared the kills ie both the pilot and the rear were awarded

Maybe if the rear was a junior officer, he too may have been credited with the kill. As far as I know this is the first time in the history of PAF that a 2 seater fighter has achieved an air to air kill
 
Masha Allah !

Also speaks volumes about the professionalism of the PAF and that combined with the skills of our pilots meant that our MLUed F-16's wiped the floor with their MKI SU-30's.
 
Well we used brand new thunders in the strike....
Congratulations to Pak Air Force....
 
3 to 4 Wg Cdrs...One is OC of the squadron then there's OC flying and there's a Flight commander,all are Wg Cdrs.Latter two work under OC of the squadron.

There are many S/Ls in a squadron.
What was the role of your friend in the operation @Hodor

The actual heroes who did something for everyone to see and that too within just 36 hours

Not the idiots who smoked cigarettes for hours and then ended up hitting a crow and few trees
thats what you get when you munch on Sheer Khorma to boost your glucose levels.....not puff cigs and get high enuf to fly above the clouds.....
