Not just the adversary, but also the whole general population of karachi.

YOUR AREAS??? :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: When did Kashmir and Hyderabad become Your areas?

There are dozens of books written by Pakistani Officers Post 71 so I dont think anyone can fault them for that. Most are introspective in nature and do not succumb to the temptation of playing for the home gallery. Siddiq Salik wrote another book (in urdu) on his POW experiences. But as it...

Thank you , i will email him this.

The impact of the Sidewinder is more than just the kill ratio. Look at the psychological impact. For the Indian pilots, they had to get into the fight assuming all the Sabres had some sidewinder loaded and unless they can get a close up glimpse, they cannot confirm that the sabres are not...

Blain, What is inaccurate about the MiG-21 statement? 1. They were not destroyed during take off. all were destroyed were parked on the ground stationary. 2. 30-40% does not mean "Most of ".. it would mean "Some". There is also no need to get ambigous with numbers. 30-40% sounds...

Call it education if you will. The purpose is to correct incorrect posts that keep appearing on this thread. http://www.defence.pk/forums/59807-post12.html or this http://www.defence.pk/forums/59858-post14.html http://www.defence.pk/forums/59883-post15.html You get the idea

Book in internet is available here PAFCombat Author is Air Commodore Kaiser Tufail

Hunter Vs Sabre Hunter has powerful engine, larger cannon (more effective - kill can be achieved even with single hit) Sabre was more manueverable with combat flaps. It was smaller in size (more difficult to hit). Six guns can fire more bullets in a span of time, more likely to score hits...

Here you go Advantage of B-57 over its counterpart - Indian Canberra 1. Fighter cockpit and ejection seat for both crew - PAF canberra can take better risks knowing both crew can escape in an emergency. Indian canberras cannot do that. if hit and damaged at low level, navigator will surely...

Thank you for your kind suggestion, but my question was posed exactly after i made all the searches - both at a rudimentary level as well as at an advanced level There were a lot of changes in the aircraft that made a huge difference to the effectiveness of the aircraft. I can list them...

Wrong . Avionics are one thing. There are many airframe and armament changes they made on the B57 that it was a better aircraft.

Here is an interesting area of discussion for members - I have read everywhere - on Indian and Pakistani websites that the Canberra and the B-57 are one and the same. But if you look closely the B-57 is a far better weapon system than the Canberra. i will leave it to forum members to prove it...

The aircraft shot down over Chamb by Rafique and bhatti are VAmpires. Indian Air Force | De Havilland Vampire F3, FB52, T55, PR55, NF54 [www.bharat-rakshak.com] They were not grounded after the encounter but merely relegated to night sorties. The Vampires were one generation older and are...

Webmaster, Even an aircraft that is rolling down the runway about to take off if strafed is called 'shot up' or 'strafed' but never 'shot down'. Shot down can be applied only to aircraft in the air. To make things easier, if the aircraft taking off, actually takes off, is about 10 feet in...

"shot down" refers to an aircraft destroyed in the air - because it can only go down. It cannot refer to an aircraft destroyed on the ground. you can use the opposite 'shot up'. in the 65 war, the iaf lost 3 of its nine migs - two were destroyed on ground by nosey haiders attack. one at...

He was shot down in aircombat by a Gnat and not by Ground Fire. Just google around

Niaz That was an interesting account of the Karachi oil tanks blaze. A friend of mine is writing a book on the 71 war and I forward your account to him. He is keen to quote you on this. Is it okay with you? PM me the details on how you want to be quoted exactly etc. regards Venkat

Does anyone have battle for pakistan by john fricker? i keep hearing about it but copies are horibly expensive to get hold of.

We all know the dispute on Pakistani POW figures in the 1971 War. One one side - Indians commonly claim - 93000 Pak Army POWs Pakistan claims - only half were Army and rest were civilians. The truth lies somewhere in between. I am posting here figures for future reference - this is as...
