OMG....it's sad, very sad. Knowing "we couldn't" is not as painful as "we could but we didn't despite the clearance". We can only hope that introspection will ensure this doesn't happen again...ever.
At this level it doesn't matter BUT to reach this level it must matter. Hope you can understand the difference. That's why since Noor Khan, every air chief had more flying experience under their belt than this guy.
I think the anxiousness people are feeling is not why Zaheer Ahmad has been made ACM. It's more related to what Haseeb Paracha did wrong as to not being considered for the post. There is difference between the two thoughts.

Agreed, no fuss should be made out of it but they must pay what they owe starting from every single penny from the withheld CSF plus the cost of the return journey. It's not charity we would be asking, it's our right. Once the total amount is agreed, terms and conditions can be negotiated if we...
US and NATO will require Pakistan's support if they want to take back their precious cargo. It will not be some trucks only. Tons and tons of precious cargo to take back. Requires road access through Pakistan, require safety en route, requires port access...As it has been happening time and...
More often than not we ourselves underestimate or take for granted the power we command by the grace and blessing of Allah SWT. There is a reason why the world powers have so much issues mostly with us and not other muslim countries. They don't underestimate Pakistan. The reactions from all...
Maybe this along with simultaneous engagement of Srilankan, Azerbaijan, Qatari, Turkish airforces in a very short span of 7-8 days. Insecurity levels in their blood skyrocketed.
