I never said that the PAF responded unprofessionally. I pointed out the difference in the mindset of Pakistani and Indian armed forces. One has a high profile in the minds of the general populace and responds in a manner it feels fit to sustain that perception. IMO the quantum of retaliation...
Yechury is not saying anything against Hinduism. He is saying that in our epics war was finally decided as a legitimate option to meet an objective. He is blaming those people who say that Hinduism is non-violent, something that is not borne out by the way we venerate these epics that speak...
Well then shouldn't IAF have had multiple aircraft airborne then along with AEWs, AWACS, plus IA and IAF activating missile defenses?
I think that the greatest benefit that we have got is to realise that much more the psyche of the Pak armed forces and their extreme desire to show to the people...
I was asking @The Deterrent because he specifically said that PAF's EW and tactics was partially revealed. Most people here hare quick to talk of superiority of PAF vis-a-vis IAF under practically all circumstances except for the disparity in numbers. So i wanted have his opinion about skills...
Do you think that IAF did not expect the scale of PAF response and hence was unprepared?
IAF said that they detected multiple PAF aircraft getting airborne. So was the response time for IAF inadequate or was it not possible to get an adequate response ready?
How did they manage to penetrate...
You will, if as claimed, the 2nd IAF pilot is in your custody and is in a position to reveal details.
Do you believe that you have our pilot in your custody?
Admitting mistakes, and thinking that this makes you more humble, is neither necessary nor sufficient to put anyone on the path to progress. But i agree that it is a very good step, provided it is more widespread.
Have Pakistanis changed since the late 1990s when you began slipping behind India...
Not sure why you have begun to repeat such statements. You assume that admitting mistakes (a quality limited to a very few of you, and of course selectively applied) will automatically make all of you a better people, never mind the large swathes of inaction that follows such admissions.
For...
3-4 days back i had my own mini theory :).
Firstly i never understood why PAF had to involve so many aircraft.
As for what happened i started with the idea that Abhinandan somehow got an F-16 on his sights and wanted to have a go at it despite the ROEs. His wingman had no choice but to follow...
To me PAF achieved air superiority because they employed a good mix of a larger number of aircraft than IAF. Whether IAF could not respond immediately or chose not to respond due to ROE etc. is not my cup of tea.
Or maybe IAF managed to hold PAF at bay.
Why did PAF decide to release AMRAAMs if...
Yes, for the time being - you can be charitable towards them. But they won't be young forever, only their age shall increase, and the cycle will keep repeating - relentlessly.
Since when did you consider yourself to be a fool? I can imagine you saying to yourself - 'let me pretend to myself to be a fool while replying to the fools' - while chuckling away in front of the screen. Oh man! why don't the fools get it?
I had read your post (which you have shown here) within a couple of days of your posting it. I search for your posts with the search button.
I do agree that PAF could not stop IAF ingress. Whether it was due to negligence or lack of resources to monitor the complete border is not something i...
Oh ol' Joe, why hit them so hard? Great to see someone turn it back on them.
I must thank the Pakistani mods for allowing us to also rub them on dirt, something we Indians refuse to reciprocate in Indian forums.
One of the best analysis. I dare say that this is very close to what i thought, and i take it as a compliment that you had thought what i also concluded. There you have it - i compliment myself :-).
It is not wise to always strive to prove that you can come on top, that too for a very very...
Not being his advocate here. You had given a time frame of 6 months and it is your firm belief that nothing will happen in 6 months. Since that person had merely said that there would be war, i thought that a 6 month bet of leaving the forum is a pretty inconsequential bet.
Regards.
