Dude all day long you have been repeating same lines with same images. An aircraft burning in the middle of the night will be seen from miles let alone 3 or 4. And do you know when an aircraft burns , how much are gets affected with smoke and fire .... take a look at the these images and one burning under a shed would be even more severe.

Bro, this is futile discussion to somehow prove that level of destruction was low or high. I said what I honestly concluded from the video and sat imagery. I converted the video to frame by frame motion and saw with my own god damn eyes that destruction is way more than what ISPR is claiming. It should be no surprise given ISPR history and how they reacted to their failure.
Now let's see the bare bones of what really happened. We need to understand and focus on the most
critical point.
1) Intel Failure / ISI's & intel agencies epic failure
The job of intel agencies is to "
foil" the attack
before it happens. They should have been all ears and eyes, They should have knew something is cooking up and they should have got them before it happened. But what really happened is Terrorists came right in the
center of the Punjab,
They brought weapons, they
attacked a secure location, a god damn
airbase.
Just Imagine the
reach of the terrorists. Imagine for a moment that these terrorists are attacking the most secure locations,
how easy it has become for these terrorists to attack soft targets like public places, schools or markets ? Do you understand the scale of reach / logistical capabilities of these terror networks that have re-developed once again. If terrorists can hit security forces at their bases which is their home then they can hit anyone in the country. There are 2 back to back attacks on security forces. Terrorists are not targeting ordinary people, they have become emboldened.
They are hitting SFs where they sit at.
Even if Security forces would have eliminated these terrorists at outer perimeter it would have been still an epic failure of intelligence agencies. They failed miserably.
2) Epic Failure of physical security
Now we discussed how serious and massive intelligence failure it was. That they were able to reach at airforce base outer perimeter with all their gear. They were able to penetrate right into the base. Forget about aircraft losses or personal losses. The moment those terrorists with RPGs walked on the tarmac, is the moment
they made a complete joke out of Pakistan's armed forces. They made
videos,
they fired RPGs, they did commentary on the videos like they had all the time in the world to do whatever they like and they sent those videos back to their handlers, they got all the success they could have dreamed of. Obviously they knew they were coming on
one-way trip. These terrorists always knew that attacking such bases is one-way trip. They don't care for their lives because of their some F--ked up ideaology. They are disposables, Terrorists have
unlimited supply of these foot soldiers. Their lives really don't matter. You killing them is
ZERO success. They already accomplished their mission, when they entered. Its not only the material value that matters here, Its
huge symbolic meanings. Such attacks with videos and all emboldens rest of the entire army of those terrorists. They become role models for other recruits of those terror networks. Your mission as security forces is to foil the attack before it happens. You fail when enemy knocks at your door and even breaches it.
3) Epic Failture in POST-attack reaction by ISPR
Now the least expected from the ISPR and airforce were to
accept their mistakes. They should have issued statements that we are
investigating and
criminal negligence will be severely punished. But what they posted "high professionalism", "unwavering commitment", and all of the crap we are fed for 75 years. I mean, who could be incompetent enough to post such a response ? Do they think such statements do any better except its a ridiculing yourself further deep.
There is another deep down problem with such response. Even if Military thinks that they will say those "
high professionalism", "
great success to foil the attack" or rubbish like that to the nation and media but internally will carry out the investigation and reforms then that's massively faulty approach. If that's your mindset, you have already set your course to the failure. You will never have the pressure, the urgency, the need to introspect as if your career is in line when you already have told everyone that you did bravo, 10/10 and you were successful and you have convinced yourself that too with photo-ops and fake congratulatory tweets. This is height of incompetency.
We as a nation
must not shy to accept our failures at official level. That is only way as a beginning for rectification. Otherwise these failures will continue for many more decades and we will keep covering them up. Another criticial aspect is that
you lose all the
respect and
reputation when you
lie with the straight face to the nation. People aren't fool really, you are fooling nobody except yourselves.
