[Rakshas]

Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif and former Army chief General Pervez Musharraf had a narrow escape on June 24, 1999, when an Indian Air Force fighter jet Jaguar was about to hit the Gulteri base at around 8:45 AM, a report said on Monday.

New Delhi: Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif and former Army chief General Pervez Musharraf had a narrow escape on June 24, 1999, when an Indian Air Force fighter jet Jaguar was about to hit the Gulteri base at around 8:45 AM, a report said on Monday.

The pilot of the Jaguar was supposed to drop the bomb but chose not to fire it at the military base as Sharif and Musharraf were present at the target, shows an official document accessed by The Indian Express. Reportedly, an Air Commodore, who was airborne simultaneously, suggested the pilot to not fire the bomb, which was then dropped on the Indian side of the Line of Control.

“On 24 June 1999, Jaguar CLDS [Cockpit Laser Designation System] engaged Point 4388. The pilot had lased over Gulteri across LoC but the bomb did not reach the target as it was released outside the laser basket," the newspaper report stated.
Gulteri, a forward administrative base of the Pakistan Army, was at the forefront of providing logistics support to Pakistani soldiers during Kargil war.

It has been reported that on that day, Sharif and Musharraf, were on their first visit to forwarding areas along the LoC in Shakma sector.

Yes, because IAF has bombed so many targets across the LOC what world do these Indians live in where they believe such BS!

Its true, im the indian pilot.

I saw musharaf with my binoculars and i did a cobra manoevure for him plus flew by and released green and white contrails for him

 

[Hammad ur Rehman]

Say if you were the Jaguar pilot which is a fast jet & you were using binoculors???????? This is really amazing. Do you do targeting in Jaguars by using binoculars ?????????

Its also amazing that you can do cobra manoevure in high mountains??????

IAF has itself said many times it was careful not to target across LOC & also tried hard that no bombs land across LOC accidently.

So this article is crap.

Yes they may have intel that VVIPs would be visiting forward posts & soldiers across the LOC may have seen them thru binoculars.
