It most likely wasn't...just another tall claim of Indian media. Since when does a 12 plane formation of Mirage 2000 in A2G role make sense? Supposedly each plane carrying 2 1000Kg LGB...it's just plain idiotic and suicidal to do such a thing.Nope. That was a 12 plane formation. It was a golden chance missed by PAF air defenders.
- 12 plane formation will have a huge radar signature
- If 12 planes in A2G role were needed then there must be multiple targets they wanted to hit...so why would they all go in together? Are they all trying to bomb the same target? Shouldn't it be more like 3 formations of 4 jets each heading in different directions to hit their respective targets.
- why send in all 12 jets in A2G role together in one giant formation without air superiority fighters to cover them? All it would take is 2 to 4 F16s or JF17s to make short work of these 12 Mirages in A2G role.
- If 12 Mirages entered each with 2 1000Kg LGBs that's 24000 Kg worth of bombs...soo where are the 24 explosions/craters?
Most likely that formation of 12 Mirages in A2G role never happened and it's just another tall claim of their clueless media.
