Featured Ready to undertake operations on both China, Pakistan fronts: IAF

Jingoism from Endian media is amazing and amusing. There is no level they won't go to deceive their public on their inflated credentials as a military power.

Deep down most same Indians are petrified of Pakistanis and terrified of the Chinese. So bring it on.

IAF is getting its ejection seats prepped.
 
IAF might be burying their planes like I(raqi)AF in 1991.

I think quite a few IAF pilots might flee to Pakistan though, the same way I(raqi)AF pilots ran to Iran. PAF might be getting some brand new Su-30s.
 
The first rule of a war is ...do not under estimate your enemy, its irrespective whatever IAF says or promoting, we should be ready to take them on. Whatever happened in the past is part of history now and have discuss the same umpteenth times and for me that's more than enough now.

Not when Pakistan is very likely to join the Chinese in the two front war (note Iran was not a combatant during the 1991 Gulf War). Flying towards Pakistan would likely mean these planes would get shot down ... the IAF's best bet is to fly to Bangladesh honestly (at least those on the eastern sector facing China).

Neither the PLAAF or the PAF is underestimating the IAF. But the poor performance of the IAF against PAF in past conflicts and most recently February of last year really does not bode well for the IAF.
 
Ready to undertake operations on both China, Pakistan fronts: IAF
ANI / Sep 25, 2020, 19:23 IST

FORWARD AIR BASE NEAR Azad Kashmir-CHINA BORDER: With India facing a possible threat from both China and Pakistan, the Indian Air Force on Friday said it was ready to undertake operations simultaneously on both the fronts.

The forward airbase which from where Pakistan is around 50 kilometres and the strategic Daulat Beg Oldi is around 80 kilometres, the activity of fighter, transport aircraft and helicopters is going on during both day and night.

Team ANI reached the strategically located airbase moving through the Khardungla pass along the Shyok river to witness the operations of fighter aircraft including the Su-30MKI and the transport planes including the C-130J Super Hercules, Ilyushin-76 and the Anton-32.

In view of the ongoing conflict with China, the fighter aircraft are operating during both day and night, the transport aircraft are continuously flying in and out of the airbase with troops, rations and ammunition to the troops located in bases on the Line of Actual Control in DBO and other areas in Eastern Ladakh.

Asked about the threat from Pakistan's Skardu airbase and the possibility of China-Pakistan coming together there, an Indian Air Force pilot of Flight Lieutenant -rank said, "Owing to the modern platform, the IAF is fully trained and is ready to undertake any operations on both the fronts."

"We are fully trained and highly motivated. We live by the IAF's motto-Touch the Sky with Glory."

Speaking about the IAF's capability to undertake night operations in these tough terrains, a fighter pilot said, "Today, our warfare capabilities have grown, so much so that we are able to undertake all types of missions even at nights from the forward base."

Earlier, the Pakistani airbases in the occupied Kashmir came under a watch after a Chinese refueller aircraft landed in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan region, in June.

The strategic airbase located on the banks of the Shyok river has been upgraded for day and night operations.

The Galwan river which saw a violent face-off between India and China and death of several soldiers from both sides, also merges into the Shyok River which flows from Eastern Ladakh to Western Ladakh before crossing over into Pakistan.



tough words.. but not much to back it up..

Bangladesh or Sri Lanka may get a fighter infusion then. Shame really, if PAF had some Su-30s they'd have a better strike capability.

Chinese unfit and old soldiers are incapable of fighting in Himalayas. Pakistan front will be a chellenge.

Very interesting. ANI is quoting statement passed by a Flight Lieutenant. Probably the Flight Lieutenant is in command of the forward air base. Or is it cowardliness of IAF senior officers not to take command of forward air base.

A Flight Lieutenant knows operation details of IAF and hence able to claim the level of training and extent of readiness of IAF.

There is a missing part in IAF's motto
"Touch the sky with Glory and get shot down for a cup of fantastic tea."

IAF warfare capabilities has grown so much so that they are able to undertake all type missions even at night.
In Operation Bandar IAF pilots were tasked to drop their spike bombs during night on the trees to kill a terrorist crow. They successfully completed the task.
