Its a routine thing and doesn't give away much. In-fact PAF or any other Force would have to act as such so one can't hold back. Had it been the case, IAF has the taste on 26th Feb & 27th Feb.

What is the ONLY purpose of Pak military the past 72 years? Get Kashmir by hook or crook from Indian hands. For this Pak armed forces (points below for you to counter)

- will form alliance with the devil if it has to and perform devils dirty work (Afghan mujahideen) for a few military goodies.Radicalised entire nation in the process. With no further use to US, discarded by the wayside by US. - Advantage India

- Tries to use Afghan strategy giving protection and support to anti India militants without complete success. Without US protection, Pak when weak now India taking advantage getting Pak royally screwed by FATF. - Advantage India

- Attacks India in 1965. Stalemate

- India retaliates and severes Pak and creates Bangladesh in 1971 - Advantage India

- uses same 1965 failed strategy In Kargil in 1999- Pak commits political suicide. LOC becomes inviolable. - Advantage India

- India always shied from proactively attacking/retaliating Pak or militants inside Pak fearing internationalization of Kashmir. India under Modi has become just as belligerent as Pak and taking advantage of geopolitics and weak Pak bombs Balakot. This action also calls Pak nuke threat bluff. This change in Indian policy also means Pak with its already battered image has little leeway in supporting armed struggle in Kashmir.

- Pak retaliates on 27th Feb. A definite win for Pak but without any political gains.

- Modi brings his well conceived article 370 abrogation plan forward and formally removes Kashmir autonomy status. 27th feb was an unexpected surprise to India. Aug5 in that scale was a kick between the you know where for Pak. Pak has not recovered from that surprise shock despite knowing Modi might do that someday in his second term. - Advantage India

Pak huffs and puffs all over the world and gets ignored by all and sundry including ummah brothers to put it mildly. - Advantage India

Now that India has made Loc defacto border and took Pak out of the equation,
Pak armed forces had the option to pull a Hail Mary pass and attack India in a full blown war. War ruled out. This option off the table. As Pak armed force primary reason for existence not relevant anymore, it's current overcapacity is not required and large part of its forces is redundant.

On oct31 India will permanently trifurcate J&K administered by it. Nov1 will be a good day for IK to sit with Modi and work towards peace in South Asia.

You’re wrong on the fundamental cause of Pak Army’s popularity with the Pak Deep Nation!! It’s not to degenerate to the state of the Indian and BD Muslims!! That is to avoid “Permanent Settlement” of the absolute subjugation under the Hindu overlords of the Ram Rajya!! And, thereby, save the Jan, Mal and Namus from the Hindutva/RSS scums...

I doubt this action was deliberate as the news reports suggest that the aircraft had been operating with military code for the last 20 days, it had already visited two other International destinations under same code but this grave error was picked up as soon as it entered into Pakistan.

 

[GriffinsRule]

Kudos to alert Pakistani Air Traffic Controllers for being both alert and acting responsibly.

The aircraft operated with the military code for almost 20 days and also operated to international destinations like Colombo and Bangkok. But no one took note until it went into Pakistani air space.


Just imagine if the F-16s had shot it down, the Indians would have been waving more than a piece of AMRAAM wreckage......once again to hide the truth and own incompetency.

The flip side of this just as crazy! That an aircraft with a military code was flying in and out of Indian airspace and no one noticed from their own AD setup shows how incompetent their guys are. It should make the job of any IAF pilot to land in Pakistan for tea that much more easier I guess. Their side would only find out once we post fantastic pictures

When the Indian PM's office has to intervene, then one can understand the seriousness of the situation and also exposes the mess the Indian AD and other related set up are in.
It was just a skirmish during which their AD ended up shooting down own helicopter, just imagine what would happen during a full conflict.

I wouldn't count that as some kind of stupidity or ignorance of highest order as such. How about the theory that they did it for 20 days knowing our side keeping an eye hence, wanted us to believe that it is in-fact an IA. 20 days IA call sign and then finally routed towards Afghanistan through Pakistan Air-Space to lure in. However, the mistake may have more possibility if Spice Jet (IA call sign) been through Pakistan Air Space before in recent days. BTW, can you name those 2 destinations that this particular AC visited with same call sign? may be one can evaluate the possibility of grave error but, you can't trust Chanakya ideology.

What is more surprising is both the other international destinations are popular holiday spots and one would expect them to be more on the toes with the high volume of traffic.
One was Bangkok and the other Colombo.

Were they also high on something and didn't notice as such? let alone Indian Professionalism for the period.
Or is it deliberate alteration with AC transponder for some time?

 

[loanranger]

Funny thing is this happened a while ago. Why was the news released or leaked so recently.

There is not one iota of it in Pakistani media.

Yes its only the Indian media that is obssesed with Pakistan.

Can always expect mirch masalah from such a source!

Yes, pleasure from me.

We should remember that world's worst mid air collision occurred over India.
