Hi,
Seems like we were more scared of the enemy than the enemy of us---.
Big deal---if couple of F22's were sunk---.
Right here you were smashing their air force---the ultimate fighting force---the enemy would have keeled over in panic---.
Easy for arm chair warriors to pass comments. See, my most of posts are mostly bashing our military for genuine reasons. In Feb-2019 swift retort, even I would not dare to bash them because in my all honest opinion PAF gave a well balanced & calculated response.
We crippled the indian myths on SU-30s, their air dominance, they used to lately think that they had become untouchables. Now jazbati Pakistani without thinking with their heads want more score like 8 or 10 planes downed and at the same time expect that there would be no escalation LMAO!.
Big deal if couple of F22P frigates sunk ?? yeah those 400 sailors lives mean nothing yeah ? What more means is your wishes and would have been able to pass more comments on the war. How about if there was exchange of cruise missiles. Entire Pak is in range of their cruise missiles, we can only reach their western command. The central command & south is away from our cruise missile ranges. The cruise missiles do not only target airbases or military ones. They also fired at strategic targets like Dams. What if our only 2 dams that power entire Pak are targetted ( Tarbela & Mangla ) ? Sure Pak would retaliate but they have 100s of dams and many away from our ranges. Would you be happy shooting down their airforce at expense of total black out in Pak? You don't give a dime anyway sitting in comfort at long distance. Its remarkable wishing for escalation while knowing it won't effect you a single bit.
Then lastly, before making childish requests atleast take a look at our economy. We are an extremely feeble economy. We cannot sustain longer duration blockades or shutting down our trade. India has vast eastern side ports, both sea & air routes always uneffected. We only after shooting 2 jets had to shut our entire trade, entire air traffic for more than a week.
Secondly, we have a very vulnerable poor population. Please Don't try to be macho man and school airforce for not shooting down more fighter jets or not fullfiling your wishes.
We first need to build a diverse & strong economy, diverse power sources, capable to sustain long shutting down of trade, capable of sustaining lot of things -- don't want to discuss that can happen even without a full scale war. Once we reached that self sufficiency level, then these macho statements look good.
Until then, we are good for deterrence only. That we are capable to inflict damage to them. That's good enough in given circumstances.
Sorry if it sounded rude, but really how can we do such childish posts asking for more destruction for both enemy and ours. BTW- no secrets were given, only some of the capability was shown and that was the whole point. I have nothing but all praises for operation swift retort.
When there is escalation, then its not a set of rules that only airforces will be allowed. Whole nation power comes against the adversary whole nation power. That includes everything. All components, in military the adversary will use whatever they can level the score with, either its cruise missiles, their navy, army or whatever. Its naive to think that any country will sit down quietly after taking the beating from a 5 times smaller country while having tons of options.
