& ur navy was watching Mirch Masla of Mumbai couldnt spot a rubber boat
On 10 April 1959, on the occasion of the Islamic Eid ul-Fitr festival holiday in Pakistan, an Indian Air Force (IAF) English Electric Canberra B(I)58 intruded into Pakistani airspace on a photo reconnaissance mission. Two PAF F-86F Sabres from No. 15 Squadron on Air Defence Alert (ADA) were scrambled from Peshawar Air Base to intercept the IAF intruder. The Sabre pilots were Flt. Lt. M. N. Butt (leader) and Flt. Lt. M. Yunus (wingman) whereas Pilot Officer Rab Nawaz was the on-duty Air Defence Controller for this mission. Nawaz successfully vectored both Sabres to the location of the high-flying Canberra. Butt attempted to bring down the Canberra by firing his Sabre's machine guns but the Canberra was flying at an altitude of more than 50,000 feet - beyond the operational ceiling of the F-86F. When Yunus took over from his leader, the Canberra suddenly lost height while executing a turn over Rawalpindi. Yunus grabbed this opportunity and fired a burst from his 12.7 mm guns that struck the Canberra at an altitude of 47,500 feet and brought it down over Rawat, near Rawalpindi. Thus, PAF drew 'first blood' against the IAF. '55-5005' was the serial number of the F-86F Sabre that was flown by Flt. Lt. Yunus that day. Both the occupants of the IAF Canberra, namely Sqn. Ldr. J.C. Sen Gupta (pilot) and Flt. Lt. S.N. Rampal (navigator) from the IAF's No. 106 Sqn., ejected and were taken prisoner by Pakistani authorities and were subsequently released after remaining in detention for some time.
now this incident really didnot take place at any time of skirmish, did it .......
it was only luck that the pilots ejected safely......
talk about duoble standards!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The statement of our president was to cool down the situation. Because all of the extremist element of India (or in simple the real india) were trying to provoke a war.
The statement was given because People of Pakistan wanted peace with India. Your media is still feeding your nation with hateful material. We dont care.Amazing!!
No i know .. Indian Media is really powerful.
They can even force statement from head of nations !! wow.
Zardari must be watching a lot of Indian Channels.
Tell me Honestly. Had you or Any of the members : Can u say and give a statement like that If u were the President, Just bcoz Indian Media was hyping a story ?

What double standards, Canberra was flying over Rawalpindi

Like i said we don't care what your media is feeding you with. That statement was not because of your media. It was because WE WANTED PEACE. We did that because if we react the same as you.We might be in war. And war is no good.Well, Indian Media doesn't Command Indian Forces and Rules the country.
India doesnt make strategic decisions on the basis of media Reports. We dont go to war by listening to Media.
Btw, The reporting was done by a few Channels.
In a 105 Billion country very few would have watched this as majority dont have cable connection.
Your Logic is NOT Applicable.
Media is NOT the real issue here. 26/11 was More than enough to build tensions.
Answer my Qs. a bit honestly.
Like i said we don't care what your media is feeding you with. That statement was not because of your media. It was because WE WANTED PEACE. We did that because if we react the same as you.We might be in war. And war is no good.
That statement for peace was to cool down people on our side of boarder. We are as much emotional as you are. I am sure the statement which was for your govt was quite different from this one. Thats why the fighters who were planing "SURGICAL STRIKES" didnt come here again even by mistake.I dont suspect that Pakistan wants peace. Its good to cool down things.
But My intention was to justify the incorrect statement of Violations by IAF and had they been true Mr Zardari would have not said otherwise jut for "peace".
You dont keep quiet when someone invades ur land - just for "peace" .
Coz then what the Use of having F16s and someone violates ur airspace .. ur PAF sits quiet and President says "no violation" just to make "peace" ?
National Pride is More Important Than "Peaceful Statements" .. at least in South Asia.
Take my word Had the story been real, PAF ws good enough to get a lock on Indian Fighters. I hv no doubt in that.
