Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

[fatman17]

here is an interesting piece, note the dates please.

Sep 23, Unknown, Unidentified UAV
reported as having crashed near the village of jalal khel, 5 miles (8km) from Angoor Adda in Pakistan's S.Waziristan tribal region and 2 miles (3km) from the border with Afghanistan. the wreckage was recovered by security forces. local pashtun tribesman claimed they had shot it down but officials said they thought it had merely suffered a technical malfunction. although some reports suggested it was a USAF MQ-1 Predator, pentagon officials said they had no knowledge of any UAV loss in the region.. a pakistani intelligence officer said the UAV was only 3ft (0.9m) long, with a wing-span of about 5ft (1.5m), making it very much smaller than a Predator, but further details were not reported,

Sep 23, USAF, MQ-1 Predator
crashed in paktika province, eastern afghanistan, about 60 miles (96km) west of the pakistan border, following engine problems, but US forces quickly recovered the UAV.

what is common in USAF MQ-1 Predator ops along the pak-afghan border:
S.Waziristan, Angoor Adda. sounds like a cover-up.

Collided with a train on the railway line that cuts across the runway and a taxiway at the PAF Base Peshawar. Both crew escaped unharmed, but the aircraft was a writeoff.

its a PA UAV but it may not be a falco - i saw the video on Geo-TV. looks like engine failure. the structure is intact! - surprisingly!

 

[shehbazi2001]

Geo News have reported that the visit of ACM Tanvir to Kohat was cancelled after the crash of Falco UAV in that area....................

Was the UAV doing general recce of the area before the visit of ACM?

Well thanks to Musharraf and Zardari with their wonderfull policies its raining UAv's

 

[shehbazi2001]

Its good that only a UAV was lost. Some years ago, in the same area of Kohat, ACM Mushaf lost his life.

Quick! Send it to NESCOM so the engineers can reverse-engineer it and build their own... oh wait, never mind.
