ISPR wouldn't have broken news if IAF did indeed hit Balakot. This would have confirmed the narrative which the Indian media would want to stir up. I think ISPR intented that PAF dropped a payload in haste. But in haste itself, the ISPR forgot proper use of commas in the tweet and ended up...
'In haste IAF dropped payload'
Who drops payload in haste? Payload is always dropped intentionally. Ye nahi hota kay Jahaaz darr kay maray payload kar deta hai.
50 aatanki maaray gay!
The thing is that ISPR had to tweet and tell us kay bhai Bharti aye thay aur aik bamb gira kay bhag gaye hen. I think ISPR wanted to spread its own version of the incident before Indian media paints its own.
So why didn't we use a SAM and shot it down? ISPR said that Pakistan will dominate the escalation ladder. Why allowed them to return unharmed?
These are not good signs no matter what the fanboys want to believe.
Any input as to why Indians did it? What were they testing? Obviously they didn't arrive to see if PAF is able to freaking scramble or not. And they went back totally unharmed. I cannot imagine PAF crossing into India and coming back witout a bruise.
