I understand some of those involved wanted to remain anonymous, if you recall W/C Nauman wasn't keen for any publicity, however i have forwarded your comments, let's wait for the reply.
I'm confused, so did JF-17 not do the kill??Finally with untiring efforts of Sir Kaiser Tufail, here is the roll of honour of the PAF Pilots involved in the operation Swift Retort that decisively delivered a telling blow on the Indian Air Force and rendered it's claims of superiority over PAF.
Reproduced with kind permission of Sir Kaiser Tufail.
The strike package purposely employed experienced and senior pilots. Things could have gone badly wrong, not just in the engagement but in its results, We got 8 lockons. Did not fire except in 2 cases, where our space was infact breached. It would have led to an escalation. You don't want a hot head. You want a cool and disciplined customer.
He was the one controlling the action
He is a senior officer and yes I am too curious about whether he too will be credited with the kill or not. In the USAF and Navy it was an established practice during the Vietnam war that F4 crews always shared the kills ie both the pilot and the rear were awarded
New Recruit
Damn I thought I deleted that part.His name is in the list so his role is obvious.
