Bitter truth
Probably that's the reason Block-3 and Azm getting delays
Without going into the specifics of whose legs were rubbery on that day, it can be said that a more aggressive commander on a longer leash by his leadership-both political as well as service- could have slaughtered the opposition.Hi,
Proof is in the pudding---whomsoever was the highest ranking officer in the air---his legs had gone " Jello ".
Before we derail this further - about 10 years or so before coming to the states I met a man from the US who knew my father in the lobby of the Sheraton Karachi while waiting to meet some investors. My dad just winked at me and then the following snippets happened:Gujral [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I thought the thread was about JF-17 & not fake news about cousin/nephew/BIL/MIL of some Indian politician. I feel sorry for people who take this paranoid BS seriously.
AVM has jello legs, Nawaz Sharif was traitor, PAF is incompetent because M2K deal fell through, Gujral has a nephew who spilled beans about India's top agent to somebody's someone somewhere, blah blah blah....
....and then people wonder what happened to PDF. I tell you what happened to PDF - posters whose expiry date passed a decade ago are stuck on repeat.
Maybe the aggression was tempered deliberately based upon the hesitation on the civil-military leadership? Not wanting to have the Indians all out in a save-face operation? Because that is something they will sell their keyster for.Without going into the specifics of whose legs were rubbery on that day, it can be said that a more aggressive commander on a longer leash by his leadership-both political as well as service- could have slaughtered the opposition.
We had a local superiority in numbers in the sky, the CAP birds had turned tail after getting one of their pals shot down and the jamming was drowning out the comms.
The door had had been knocked down and the stable was wide open.
The boys could have made a dash for the enemy radar bird, a SEAD effort could have targeted the hi-level radar at Natha Top and other similar sensors near Barnala and Amritsar. Subsequently the sub could have been easily targeted. You see the opportunities were endless. But we were not committed to a wider operation with further ramifications. So at the end it was termed a measured response. BTW, I saw the LY-80 battery deployed in the sports ground right next to my residence at Malir next day. We were kinda ready for the missile/air raids.
Even to the point where senior Air Commodores and AVMs got themselves checked out, and after 3 hops with an IP they were flying CAPs in Thunders and F-7s. F-16s was less of an issue as they already have senior leadership checked out on them.Without going into the specifics of whose legs were rubbery on that day, it can be said that a more aggressive commander on a longer leash by his leadership-both political as well as service- could have slaughtered the opposition.

No, DCAS (OPS) does not fly combat missions during a hot situation. He is of more value in the AHQ/Command center(s).was it HP? if so than him chickening out seems slightly far fetched :o
Thank you for this. I waited like a year for this to be posted on the net.
Whats so special about the pic? thanks.Thank you for this. I waited like a year for this to be posted on the net.
nothing special its just related to the hobby of collection of JF-17 pics with serial number, before this particular pic even I had only one pic of air frame of 16-227 that too was not clear and was not showing complete air frame.Care to explain what's so special about this Image?
