Indian spy planes violate Pakistan airspace

[Anurag Rathore]

The Indian planes continued to fly inside Pakistani air space for several minutes until planes from Pakistan took to the air, leading to a retreat of the Indian planes.

The incident comes amidst a spate of recent cross-border skirmishes between the two nuclear-armed neighbours who have fought three wars since independence from the British rule in 1947, two over the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.

Previously, two Indian fighter planes had entered Pakistan’s airspace near Head Sulemanki border on June 11.

The two sides agreed to a ceasefire along the LoC in November 2003, but skirmishes have flared across the heavily-militarised Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border in Kashmir, in recent weeks, with both sides blaming each other for having violated the agreement.

What does COAS have to do with PAF ?

I think Major Sam means Chief of Air Staff! Should be CAS though.

What are we talking? UAVs? Special mission/ ISR assets? Fighters equipped with recon pods?

Last time when there was an alleged violation that was there all over the press.... But this time not many reported this... Can some one confirm any other sources reported this?

This news was available on on ex trbn.....They have not clearly stated what kind of an aircraft....

Btw there is already one thread on this subject http://www.defence.pk/forums/strate...ian-spy-planes-violate-pakistan-airspace.html

They could be RAW's ARC assets

WTF they were doing first in our air space,


Screw PAF. it must be for surveillance on our side of LOC. i hate this ball less COAS. BCH kuch kerta he nhi ha.

Look at the other side of your country these drones are f*())ing your people daily ....

Bold part. Show some respect. You obviously don't want us to say the same kind of words for your people.

If Pakistani really want to be Fool and shoot down Indian Aircraft close to border they could have deployed Mobile SAM. and Given Stinkers to Border Guards. If any Plane is shot down inside Indian border then imagine the reaction. Stop bullshit,

its an unarmed UAV on a patrol mission, due to bad weather it went 5 KM inside Pakistan but soon returned to Indian Airspace after warning. so total 15 KM, 10 KM buffer airspace. This UAV cannot be shot down by BVR.

Probably stowaway UAVs, or some stupid UAV operator having fun. [could cost him his job, if we decide to shoot them down.]

They came as a group I think, so very unlikely they were lost or their navigation doesn't work - they were
indeed spying on ground bases on Pak side of the border.

Shooting them down is very difficult because they're very small targets, equally small RCS so difficult
for airborne MMRs to lock on to at BVR ranges, and secondly, Indian air surveillance radars would be
telling the exact locations of oncoming PAF aircraft to the operators, giving them enough time to
get out of the engagement zone to avoid losses.

They can be shot down by AAA - Formation firing by soldiers or these guys.

Who came up with the stupid idea of BVR engagement for UAVs anyway? - they are dead meat and can be shot down by HSMs and guns, if they have to be engaged by air craft.
