27 Feb 19: PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace: DG ISPR

Let it be.
Our mission was terrorists not Pakistan or its military .
Hopes this will take as a reason by Pak military to eliminate all terrorists inside the Pakistan

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.

Did you check why IAF used SPICE 2000 ? It has a gliding bomb with a range of 60 Kms ... They came to the appropriate distance and released the bombs

Agreed.
But it was laser guided right.
It wasnt a JDAM.
So fighter should be the proximity until it hit the targets

There is nothing surprise here.
If that was a surprise ,our military installation wouldnt have been there .

We were expecting some kind of retaliation.
And we dont want to escalate it ,that is why only 8 jets confronted 24.

We were prepared and planned

if they were Spice 2000 than not laser guided, Spice uses GPS for navigating near to target and than use scene matching for target recognition and then hit that target.
 
One thing is getting unnoticed here. The guts of Winco Abhi. That fella knew his opposite there is a bird more advanced, more agile. But he didn't back off. I am just awestruck by his belief in his training and professionalism.
This is what he was trained and paid for, MIG 21 is the first line of defense for India. Its their primary interceptor. I am sure they would have trained for every fighter Pakistan has in the inventory.
I think IAF was caught by surprise. I broad daylight they were not expecting PAF so soon, within 24hrs of their attack
 
slowly ARY with permission of PAF/ISPR begins to feed news to viewers.....name of 2nd pilot and than next wiill be video recording.
 
Which country could the unnamed country be?

Probably America. It's been somewhat brought up tacitly in some circles. Another contender has been Iran. Don't know why either would be stupid enough to do that.

JF-17, not F-16, used in air combat: report

WASHINGTON: Apparently, it was a JF-17 fighter jet that brought down an Indian warplane in Azad Jammu and Kashmir last week, says a CNN report as an American diplomat said Washington wanted to know if Pakistan used a US-built F-16 jet to shoot the plane.

The JF-17 is a Chinese-designed fighter jet produced jointly by Pakistan and China.

“It may have been one of those jets that on Wednesday downed an Indian Air Force fighter plane, leading to the capture by Pakistan of an Indian pilot” Abhinandan Varthaman, said the CNN report released this weekend. The report also noted that the Indian jet was a MiG-21, a Soviet-designed aircraft, which has been in service since the 1960s. The MiG-21 “forms the backbone” of the Indian Air Force, which has about 200 of those in its inventory.

Nishank Motwani, a visiting fellow at the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy, Acton, Australia, told CNN that Indian pilots called the plane “a flying coffin” because it had been involved in multiple accidents.

“And that illustrates a problem for India. While it has a massive military budget, a significant chunk of that goes toward maintenance of existing equipment, and salaries,” the report added.

The report included a quote from a recent inquiry by an Indian parliament committee, saying: “Modernisation gets a mere 14 per cent (of allocated funds), which is grossly inadequate.”

A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Islamabad told the Reuters news agency on Sunday that the United States was “seeking information” on whether Pakistan used US-built F-16 jets to down the Indian warplane, which may violate the F-16 sale agreements between Washington and Islamabad.

Pakistan said it did not use F-16s in shooting down the Indian fighter jet when it crossed the Line of Control. Islamabad also said that this was an act of self-defence.

“We are aware of these reports and are seeking more information,” the US Embassy spokesperson said. “We take all allegations of misuse of defence articles very seriously.”

The US often inserts restrictions on how its exported military hardware can be used through so-called end-user agreements.

India claimed that AIM-120C-5 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile had been fired recently, showing that F-16 Viper fighter jets were “at least involved” in recent strikes in the region. Pakistan rejected the Indian claim as completely baseless. India also claimed that it shot down one of the Vipers.

Pakistan rejected this claim as well, saying that since it had not used any F-16 jets, the question of one being shot down did not arise.
