C-130J crashes in Gwalior

. .
It wasnt a "mid air collision" ..... stop inventing history kid... it happened in Chaklala Airbase ... ground collision..



C-130 aircraft have been flying with the PAF since 1963 i.e. for the last thirty five (35) years and their flight safety record is outstanding,

AIR WAR OF 1965 REVISITED - C-130 Bombing Operations

C-130 Heavy Bomber

On the night of 11/12 September, the first bombing mission was undertaken by Wing Commander Zahid Butt against the target of Kathua Bridge 16 Kms East of Pathankot. This bridge formed a vital link for the supply line to Indian ground troops. Gauging the dangerous nature of the mission, Chaklala's Station Commander Group Captain Eric Hall also went along on the mission. Flight Lieutenant Rizwan was the navigator. They reached the target safely and during the bombing run, they were attacked by an enemy fighter. Wing Commander Zahid Butt took evasive action only after the bombs had been released. On successful return to the base, they discovered a 1 cm bullet hole in the port wing tip.




After the Kathua bombing raid, the next target for the C-130 bombers was a concentration of enemy tanks and guns, three miles north of Ramgarh in the Sialkot Sector. Two C-130s dropped nine tons of bombs each on the night of 15 September and played a major role in shattering the enemy forces moving up for the battle of Chawinda. On the following night, a single C-130 strike was repeated against Ramgarh destroying enemy tanks and guns as well as ammunition and fuel dumps.




On the night of 19th September, two successful C-130s sorties were made against Indian Army concentrations in the vicinity of Rurki and Pagowal, and apart from the resulting material damage, the effect on enemy morale was believed to be devastated.




In the closing stages of the 1965 War, the Indians had amassed their heavy guns close to the BRB canal to concentrate their heavy artillery fire on Lahore. On 21st September a single C-130 dropped ten tons of bombs on the heavy artillery four miles south-east of Jallo. Another C-130 dropped nine tons of bombs on Indian artillery concentration at Valtoha. On 22nd September bad weather hampered PAF strike action against the assembled Indian artillery but the inclement weather did not deter three C-130s taking off that night to find the enemy target and drop their bombs by radar. The target at Atari included an Indian AA Regiment with 72 guns, located in a strip about one mile long running parallel with and close to the BRB canal. The Army was reluctant in giving clearance to the C-130s for fear of breaching the BRB or worse still, the bombs landing on our own troops this side of the canal. Permission was finally granted and the C-130s conducted a highly accurate drop of more than 30 tons of TNT which devastated the Indian artillery. Many independent observers believe this last action by PAF set the Indians clamouring for a ceasefire. Seven officers of the Transport Wing were awarded the Sitara-e-Jurat and 2 JCOSs the Tamgha-e-Jurat.

BTW, as of now, the maintainance is done by the OEM, ie Lockheed-Martin, according to contractual obligations. I hope this puts to rest all these innuendoes about India's shoddy maintainance and whatnot.

That's incorrect, I don't know the details of the arrangement with the IAF but in most cases depot level maintenance is handled by the OEM routine maintenance by the IAF.

I dont care about the mig21 who have been falling since 2000, this new bird with some most advanced equipments crashed and surely a sabotage.

Its not just the 21s genius... and LMAO.

Before getting mental Orgasms you Should Know The C- 130's are maintained by the manufacturer as per contract.:lol::lol::lol:
 
. .
I think many are under maintenance or upgrade. Is it true?

My numbers were wrong .

It's 13 submarines ....... 8 Kilo , 4 Shishumar and 1 Akula .

7 out of 8 kilos are already upgraded . 4 shishumars are planned to be upgraded .

But as of now none is in upgradation and all are operational .

It's funny seeing Indians try to to dismiss the crash as "no big deal" by quoting C-130 crashes from around the world. Even funnier is their bringing of China's Uighur problem and Pak's TTP issue into discussion to brush off respective nationals' opinions. The typical feel-good type has resorted to chanting their good old mantra "we got money we can buy the world" like an ugly loser whose only option is prostitutes...funnily ironic.
Nonetheless, unfortunate incident. RIP
There No Big deal Because Its Single crash And we Buyed Six More of these And Many more in Future :coffee::coffee:
