Ok Did a little stalking and searching . He is being welcomed graciously because he belonged to 26 squadron "spiders" once.

^^^^ 1999 would certainly be a good trial period to see how the Anza sams performed

Anza Draws First Blood In Kargil

ISLAMABAD — Media reports that Pakistani Taliban splinter group Ahrarul Hind is planning attacks on Pakistani airbases in retaliation for punishing airstrikes carried out in February have raised questions about the adequacy of security at Air Force facilities.

There has not been a discernible reaction from the Ahrarul Hind thus far, and analysts say the ferocity of the airstrikes that killed a number of important members has left it somewhat stunned

First of all - I agree 100% that there is ZERO room for such security breaches; there has to be accountability and there has to be hyper-extreme vigilance to protect our assets but most importantly our personnel.

With that said - these terrorist rodents if they are planning to attempt another such adventure then they better try hard and their generous supporters/trainers/handlers in the immediate region better hope for miracles because last I heard - PAF gave the terrorists one hell of a good pummelling

I think there are some mistakes on this board.

2 IAF fighters were downed that day. One Mig21 and other Mig27. Mig21 was flown by Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja who was KIA, while Mig27 was flown by Flight Lt. Nachi Keta who was taken PoW.

its a closed case IMO.

PAF will concentrate on the JFT program and increase the number of F-16s in its inventory.

I think you said it all... We can hardly afford second hand F16 or new JF17... Getting a whole new plane like Fc20 asks 1-2 billion investment and 3-5 years run up time. With that many programs running already PAF will not go even deeper into troubles.

FC20 would be nice if we had no F16's. Now it is just an extra which we mostly can do with JF17 (which basically has the same systems but here and there altered).
