they were being chased thus abandoned whatever missions they were on. all told 12 mirages in groups of 4 tried in 3 different areas of Pakistan. only the ones heading for kp dropped their payloads, while the rest of them were intercepted a little sooner. everything was over in less than 5 minutes. professionals indeed
Though it is worrisome that they managed to come in, albeit for a few minutes... It is very much possible that the earlier two were decoy IAF sorties... There is no excuse for any intrusion without immediate punishment meted especially if the third CAP was scrambled and in position... Friendly AWACS should be tracking threats from wheels-up at IAF base to wheel-down or splashdown... PAF would not have had to deal with playing the next day strike's gamble (a truly high risk maneuver) had they finished the job the earlier night...
