Lies and fabrications - usual stuff. Another poor attempt at containing the damage..
Theyll continue to lie for years to come, but few sane minds even on their side of the border that have the dignity and courage to face and acknowledge the truth will remain unconvinced. I feel pity for Dhanoa, poor chap is fighting for a lost cause. He even had to defend that Rafale statement of Modi, which shows that he us under immense pressure.
Handling a demoralised and shattered airforce is becoming increasingly difficult for him. Imagine the state of IAF pilots and staff - without Rafale, they cannot handle the PAF?? Should they drown their 700 odd fleet in the Indian ocean??? Who gives such statements man? Imagine the state of mind in which pilots might be if a war breaks out tomorrow?
Only if this fanatic Modi had enough mind to retionalize things before barking, he could see the extent of damage he has inflicted at his own airforce.
In its current state, despite going back to the drawing board and rectifying mistakes (PAF doing the same), the morale of IAF pilot is nothing to write home about.
Technically, PAF has already won over the IAF after 27th Feb. KT clealy mentioned two instances where the MKI and Mir 2000s literally bugged out instead of confronting the PAF fighters.
I am afraid, if the whole truth comes out someday, and i expect that day to come soon, the IAF pilots might refuse to sit in cockpits.
