Gentlemen,
It is irrelevant on who shot down who, or with what. Bottom Line: PAF performed as trained, and is capable to defend. Rest of the discussion, claims, and talk is useless and irrelevant. The responsible people are the ones who should analyze the success, and scrutinize the weaknesses...
MBDA system is not serviceable, and light Torpedoes are also Leonardo, so no weapons. An Indian commander would be a fool to come on a war patrol without a full package. But then, such is expected from your side?
Congratulations to PN Aviators for successful detection and interception of second submarine in Pakistani waters. I am sure this CO will also get fired like the last one.
There has been some speculation which type of submarine this maybe. I would just call it a defeated type. What I can tell...
Your mission made you or your weapons (which btw failed too) cross the IB. Let it be a lesson to your country. Everytime you will try to cross the IB, you will get a surprise. Surprise surprise.
Bravo. Keep at it. However, thank for giving us such an unprecedented multi-dimensioned victory.
P.S. If you are official OSINT, please print all my comments and give to your OIC andd bureau / cell chief to fwd to your AF's newly appointed Eastern and Western AOC, and IAF Cheif, so they grow...
USA is currently trying to sell an F16 variant to India, so an F16 getting shot down is bad news for them.
I cannot confirm anything that has happened. My analysis is based on public information and already posted.
Pakistan has already over 600 AMRAAMs, one for each Indian "front line" fighter...
Brahmos would have been the obvious next step for Indians as our defenses for this system are under development. However, I think the strike window is closed or too remote now.
Hum Qabron Par Fateha Parhtay Hain
Woh apnay murdon kay Kutbay Uthai Bazar Main Raks
Hum Apnon kee Yad main Aanson bahatay Hain
Won Apnon kee Siyasi Chita jalatay
Hum Shahadat kee Dua aur Ilteja Kartay Hain
Woh Dum daba kay pichlay Kewar say guzarish
Hum Nabi Pak kay mujahid, sada tayar hain...
Indeed. I have already mentioned that this ill thought action is a report card being waved to the public, that Indian Air Force is an embarrassment to their country. A Full Foxtrot.
This needs to be verified. However, I am sure he is up for a real dress down for not being able to engage the Pakistani aircraft, and getting shot down in the process. By Surviving the Interception, W/C Abhi singlehandedly destroyed the whole Surgical Strike drama being undertaken by Modi...
This is predictable. Make a case that we didn't cross LOC, they did, hence they are the aggressors not us. However, everything said is on record, and sadly their media will not show it so their people will believe anything.
