Chuck Yeager tweets about PAF of 1971

[MilSpec]

It is quite funny that our esteemed pakistani members are jumping up and down on a pat on the back by Chuck yeager, forgetting the fact that 1971 was by far the worst military performance by any measure... with 54K combatants surrendering, the largest unilateral surrender since WWII, losing half of the nation, a complete rout of Navy and the Army.

India flew 1,978 sorties in the East and about 4,000 in the West, while the PAF flew about 30 and 2,840. Yes Indian Attrition was higher in ration but then again these were mostly CAS sorties, as we had a war to win, Which we did......... convincingly....that too in 14 days
Along with 90K PoW's (54K combatants), Pakistan lost half its navy, a quarter of its air force and a third of its army... If any of the military Branches performance is to be celebrated, I wish our neighbors many such accolades.

In addition to this, PAF put on show for inspection, its entire fleets after BOTH of the wars in presence of world dignitaries and aviation community. The five times bigger IAF should have annihilated the tiny PAF to prevent such displays!!

-Air Action (France) December 1988
-Flugzeug (Germany) February 1989

I wonder how many Air action journalists, or Fluzeug Journalists got their jets destroyed on ground by the mighty IAF for them to suggest such a thing!! --

“After one of PAF’s night bombing strikes on our airfield, we were all grounded for six hours. The runway had been cratered at many places. The following morning, our OC, Wg Cdr V B Sawardekar, took us all to the runway to show us the Pakistani pilot’s bombing accuracy. Pointing to the craters on our runway, he said that this is the kind of accuracy the IAF pilots should achieve against Pakistani targets.”

PAF on the Offensive - 1971 War

But then again, for those Indian friends who love to go and say " Ohh but we won the war, 90,000 POW'S baby!!" -- have you even seen any retaliation on that claim, we all know we lost, our map is there to prove it, and no body denies that the army, navy and airforce didn't perform up to the bar, that was set back in 1965 but I don't get the Indian obsession behind this touting it as an "entirely Indian victory", I mean look at it this way --

-The east wing numerical disparity was almost overwhelming
-To add in to the set of problems the army had to face internal threats like the mukti bahni
- add in the fact that east pakistan, had an almost 1000 Km distance from its west wing and in the mid is India
- then add that with the politics going on at the time where Bhutto was going all out on how Bengalis aare **** and "Idur hum udur tum" meaning he was ACTUALLY proposing two PM's for a state, after loosing the overall election.
-add in the resource limitations

I've never seen the Indian defense forces face such impossible odds, let alone fight in them, the closest they ever went to such odds was in 1962, and that was simply numerical disparity and harsh fighting conditions on display and we all know how good India did there, so before you go to 1971, do look a bit at how well you yourself performed under similar conditions --

[qWhy 1999 not to mention kargil . a nation which doesn't take back body's of its soldiers. You shamelessly defend your army .. My foot

Even then the foot is in your mouth because you people set the precedent by not accepting your shot down pilot in front of the media but you shameless creatures were quick to call in your media to cover and glorify every dead body that was handed over to Pakistan. Do you think no dead Indian soldiers were handed over by Pakistan but we never glorified over dead bodies. It's your forte to play all to the home audience to look brave.

ISLAMABAD, June 3: Pakistan on Thursday handed over Indian pilot K.
Nachiketa to the International Committee of Red Cross at 10.12 pm after
Indian High Commissioner G. Parathasarthy refused to receive him in
front of media.

The purpose of handing over the flight lieutenant to the Indian HC in
front of media was to avoid the repetition of baseless allegations,
Foreign Office spokesman Tariq Altaf told reporters.

The spokesman said the press corps had been invited to Foreign Office at
7pm for coverage of the handing over ceremony but it had to wait for
over three hours owing to the refusal by the Indian HC. "We were trying
to persuade him to come and receive the pilot in the presence of media
and ICRC representative and this caused the delay."

@Hiptullha your post was disgraceful and doesnt do justice to your avatar , Saadat hasssan Manto? correct me if I am wrong

and it even goes against the Islamic teaching you are not supposed to mock Deities and respected personalities of other faith not just because they will insult ours but because its morally wrong.

So, you don't know about that and even then you are "debating" with me.

Here to bust the bubble of Supa Dupa Powa and a response to your silly post.
