India-Pakistan dogfight: A minute-by-minute account of Abhinandan's air battle

HIGHLIGHTS
  • 24 Pakistan jets flew towards India on February 27, 10 of them were F16s
  • IAF's MiG-21, Su-30 and Mirage 2000 fighter jets were used to counter Pakistan
  • An Indian MiG-21 shot down an F-16 while the latter was attempted to fly back

On the morning of February 27, 24 fighter jets took off from Pakistan and flew towards India. The group of jets included ten US-made F-16 Fighting Falcons. At exactly 10am, the jets entered Indian airspace, where waiting Indian Air Force fighter jets engaged them in a dogfight.

The fierce fight over Jammu and Kashmir ended up with an Indian MiG-21 Bison shooting down an F-16. However, that MiG too suffered a hit and crashed in Azad Kashmir. Its pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, was captured by Pakistan Army. He was released two days later.

The developments of February 27 morning lasted 16 minutes, from the time the Pakistani jets took off to the time Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was hit. India Today TV has accessed minute-by-minute details of the intense dogfight.

9:52 AM: Indian Air Force's Netra surveillance aircraft detects 10 F-16s taking off three airbases in Pakistan. The F-16s fly in three separate formations. They merge into a single formation after entering Paksitan-occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir).

9:54 AM: Indian Air Force swings into action. IAF's MiG 21 Bisons, Sukhoi Su-30MKIs and Mirage 2000s are scrambled to intercept the incoming Pakistani fighter jets.

9.58 AM: India sounds an alert and sends out a message to the Pakistani fighters asking them to go back.

9.59 AM: As per protocol, India sounds second alert and sends another message asking the Pakistani jets to go back.

10:00 AM: The Pakistan Air Force fighter jets enter Indian airspace.

10:01 AM: Indian Air Force jets respond with full force and engage the F-16s. The F-16s are also targetted by surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The response forces nine PAF F-16s to return after intruding just a kilometre into Indian territory.

10:02 AM: One F-16 manages to enter deep inside Indian territory. The jet targets an oil depot and an ammunition point in a military zone and tries to attack an Indian Army brigade headquarters.

10:03 AM: One Indian Air Force Sukhoi Su-30 and one MiG-21 Bison engage this F-16 in a dogfight manoeuvre called "defensive split". The two Indian jets trap the Pakistani jet in between them -- the MiG 21 flies in front while the Su-30 chases the F-16 from behind, firing at it. The F-16 is forced to flee using a dog fight manoeuvre called "wingover".

10:04 AM: The Su-16 stops chasing the F-16 and hovers around the oil field in order to guard it. The MiG-21 Bison, being flown by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, gives the F-16 chase. The F-16 is flying out of territory and Wing Commander Abhinandan 'locks' F-16 with an R-73 air-to-air missile.

10:08 AM: Wing Commander Abhinandan fires his R73 missile and successfully hits the F-16, bringing it down. Abhinandan performs a dangerous manoeuvre called "high-g barrel roll". He is in the range of Pakistani surface to air artillery and surface to air missiles (SAM). Either a SAM or air artillery hits the MiG-21. Abhinandan ejects.

Why they need to mention the maker of aircraft, US made F-16, Chines made JF-17, French Mirage but referencing to IAF's aircraft, only, mig or mirage or su-30, no mention of the maker????

Heehehehe.

Only 1 F16 penetrated deep inside India. Despite heavy presence of Indian interceptors, the lone F16 able to target 3 sites, the fuel depot, ammunition depot and Brigade headquarter. Wow very brave pilot and very useless interceptors that they let him attack three different installations without shooting F 16 down.

Abhi gave chase, he chased the F16 for 4 minutes; from 10:04 to 10:08. That's quite a long time for chase and dog fight to last.
As usual, no mention of JF 17 "one whose name cannot be spoken".
I thought there were 6 spots targeted by Pakistani jets.
It took only 2 minutes for the F16 to fire at the targets after intruding inside IoK.
Something is a miss.
No, a lot are miss.
Bloody Indian liars.

Look at that hair...
Look at that mustache...
Look at the color of that janitors uniform.

What the hell were they thinking when they decided to embark on this travesty of Reenactment (of false events)?

Sometimes...and I (seriously) mean sometimes i'm glad we have these idiots for neighbors - or life would be dull.

So the mig 21 intentionally flies in front of f16, this was some special kind of strategy which also locked my mind.
Yep just like a car chase in movies one goes at the front to slow it down and one comes up fast from behind. luckily for them our f-16 didnt apply air hand brakes and did a drift and 90deg turn.

I don't know if its I or other folks are anxiously waiting for the new Bollywood Movie on the said events with a few, as usual and highly anticipated Item Songs.

oh bhai they were jf17s not f16 ISPR has conformed it.
 
.
also they forgot that they have been training their air force pilots and fighter jets by giving them movie therapy.

That is why their MKI were able to dodge those AIM-120c and even shoot one down.

Missile dodging was practised by this


and missile shoot down

I know, I am only describing the Indians sorcery. They don't want to mention the name of JF17.
Even if they compelled to do, they always call it Chinese Aircraft. Just don't want to give credit to Pakistan.
Dishonesty at its best.

We only claim to have lock on those listed sites.
It was stated we only intended to show our capability, we never had the intention to hurt.

The Mig 21 shot down by PAF, wasn't all of its 4 missiles are recovered and put on display by Pakistan. So how did it managed to shot down F16 without using its missiles. Did Mig 21 farted and our F 16 couldn't stand the stinky smell and just did the barrel roll towards the ground and its debris vanished. We need to look out for another Bermuda triangle in Azad Kashmir too.
