yea to wohee baat howee chor ka dhari mein tikha..
It was not allegation but question. Please read it again and answer it according to your understanding. It was impossible for these 8 terrorists to hold the control of this base permanently then what were their motives? to give impression that Pakistan nuclear programme are not safe ?
Well you guys blame ISI for training and funding all terrorism in India but get silent to answer who is funding terrorists in their terrorist activities in Pakistan. OK I also assume its tehreek e talibaan who is behind all these attack on naval base, PAF base or GHQ but again what is their source of funding, training? where they get weapons from? Terrorism in India is not possible without support of ISI while terrorism in Pakistan is possible without support of any external forces or agencies

Can somebody look at the Google map link and see if the Buildings..the large buildings are aircraft hangers?
This is the approximate place from where the terrorists entered and the Buildings are about 200 meters inside the boundary wall,which is at the edge of RPG effective range...

source Fourth assault on Kamra base since 2007 | DAWN.COM
Narrating the chronology of events, a counter-terrorism official said terrorists wearing army uniforms scaled 9-foot high barbed wire wall and crossed the first cordon of the base. The assailants had chosen to wear army uniforms because the security of the base was handled by army soldiers.
A guard at one of the watch towers noticed the intrusion and fired two warning shots before reporting to the control room.
In the meantime, the attackers donning suicide jackets and carrying RPGs dashed to the second cordon, about 100 yards away from the first one. It was here, the officials say, that Sepoy Muhammad Asif Ramzan engaged them and held them up for 10-12 minutes, providing ample time for the Quick Reaction Force and other reaction mechanisms of the base to get fully mobilised.
Sepoy Asif laid down his life protecting the base.
Before Asif breathed his last, a back-up led by base commander Air Commodore Azam had reinforced him. Air Cdr Azam was injured in the exchange of fire with the terrorists.
“Sepoy Asif Ramzan sacrificed his life in the first line of defence while fighting against the miscreants at PAF Base Minhas. With outstanding audacity, he failed the malign intentions of the miscreants,” the PAF spokesman said, noting the valour with which the soldier fought.
Two companies of special services commandos, almost 150 of them, were mobilised from nearby Tarbela.
The terrorists, it was said, could not get beyond the first cordon and were neutralised by the security forces.
“The terrorists attack was foiled through high preparedness of PAF,” a security official noted.
RECOGNITION: Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Tahir Rafique Butt announced Rs1 million for Sepoy Asif’s family and Prime Minister Ashraf attended his funeral and condoled with his family.

So the real hero of this incident was this one man,without whom the story could have been very different...

^^^^4th attack on Air Base and the Pakistan establishment has learnt NOTHING from these attacks. And then the below excerpt:
Intelligence reports warned last week that Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan was planning assaults on an air force base and other security establishments before Eid-ul-fitr, the three-day holiday beginning on Sunday to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

Actually this intelligence is at least 4 months old and the security inside the Airbase was beefed up immediately...
The problem is that Pakistan armed forces don't have Jurisdiction outside the premises of the Airbase and so the intelligence was passed on to Police to keep the area outside the airbase secure...
and you know our police very well

Hi,
I am surprised at this scenery of this air base-----so many trees so close on inside of the base----that is an immense security hazzard in itself----.
I have lived in the viccinity of couple of air bases in the u s and at times drive by a few-----there is hardly any tree in the viccinity of march air reserv e base---there were no trees around hill air force base---hardly anything around davis----.
This base has a forest next to it and green trees inside of it----what a surprise---.

NO Saab 2000 damaged or destroyed! They reside in hardened shelters with extra concrete protection, same with JFTs there. Terrorists couldnt reach so deep inside the base, they were contained within a 100 meter radius by forces.
All intact and safe, reports of very mild damage (surface/ paint) to an IL-78.

A pattern has emerged in terrorist attacks on Pakistani forces...
October 2009 GHQ attack (Attack on Pakistan Army)
May 2011 PNS Mehran attack (Attack on Pakistan Navy)
August 2012 PAF Kamra Minhas attack (Attack on PAF)
Thats all three forces dealt with....
Hi Nabil...
RPG has an effective range of 200 meters and some aircraft hangers are within that range from the rear Boundary wall .. It is Plausible that terrorist RPG did hit the aircraft hanger...
Although all of us wish that SAAB AWACS are safe....

Very happy you mentioned this. My father in his airforce days would use a tree to hop the fence in Kohat to go out for the night. It became such a problem that they had to cut it down.
