Chief of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) reacted on Sunday with a ‘broad smile’ here when his attention was drawn toward Pakistan’s arch enemy India’s video shot wherein pride of the PAF JF-17 Thunder was shown with Indian tri-colour flag on Indian Independence Day celebrations promotional video.

The attention of Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman was drawn towards the Indian folly here in flag-hoisting ceremony to commemorate Independence Day where he turned up with his spouse. He was asked to offer comments. The Air Chief didn’t attach significance to the matter and he declined to offer any serious comment but said with humility “I am aware of it.”

His impression was sought with an observation that it shows psychological supremacy of the PAF that has developed its plan within shortest period of time while India has failed in making its own in about 20 years. “Your assessment is as good as anyone else,” he remarked.

The Chief of Air Staff (CAS) was felicitated by number of the guests on previous night’s parade on Risalpur base.

Another PAF officer castigated Indian claim that JF-17 has any resemblance with India’s under construction light aircraft ‘Tejas’ since the frame of the two and appearance are entirely different to each other. “Tejas airworthiness is still far from final go ahead signal while JF-17 plans are flying successfully as part of the PAF and soon will be seen in the airs of other countries which are acquiring them.

Interestingly the display of JF-17 in Indian video left many in the government red in New Delhi faced as it featured a Pakistan fighter jet flying with the tri-colour Indian flag. The video, posted on Twitter, was, however, removed after the Twitterati pointed out that the jets were in fact Pakistani aircraft.

The opening portion of the Indian Culture Ministry's over one-minute video celebrating '70 years of Independence' featured an animated sequence of the two JF-17 flying with the Indian flag.

A government source in Indian capital said that it was an inadvertent mistake as the JF-17 looks similar to India's Tejas light combat aircraft and it is difficult for an ordinary citizen to know the difference between the two types of aircraft. However, realising the mistake, it was removed promptly, the source added.

The JF-17 jet was jointly developed by Pakistan and China and both are promoting it big time to garner global supply orders. Sri Lanka is among the countries which showed keen interest in purchasing JF-17 but Indian government through its nefarious tactics trying to scuttle any possible deal between Islamabad and Colombo.

Tejas airworthiness is still far from final go ahead signal while JF-17 plans are flying successfully as part of the PAF and soon will be seen in the airs of other countries which are acquiring them.

This part is really a confusing, Air worthiness Certification, which is already given at the IOC stage, then how is it possible when everyone knows, that it is already IOC-2 certified, and when LCA has already been Inducted into IAF and even a Squardon have been formally formed.

What is left is the FOC certification, which means the Certification of all the subsystems and the planes, that they are certified with full capabilities, and functioning.

Sri Lanka is among the countries which showed keen interest in purchasing JF-17 but Indian government through its nefarious tactics trying to scuttle any possible deal between Islamabad and Colombo.

This part is also very strange, and I think without a valid proof, the author is trying to impose his views based on his logic, but sorry but this will come under the category of Bogus Story making.

The opening portion of the Indian Culture Ministry's over one-minute video celebrating '70 years of Independence' featured an animated sequence of the two JF-17 flying with the Indian flag.

Why Such hue cry for an Animated video, where this video could have been created by the PR agency, and he took the pictures, clips from the Internet, and won't be surprised, if those agencies, obviously civilians would have shown the video of a F-22 in Tri color. But strangely, the Author remarked the psychological Supermacy, from the Imagination out of no where. This should have been ended long before, because when the Raksha Mantralay found out, this mistakes removed the video.

See i see some possibilities..

  1. This is a intentional leak of India buying JF 17 and Pakistan buying F16s to be built in India under Make In India program. :rolleyes: This way both sides people can get the feeling of our cooperation. :angel:
  2. The video maker is a RSS serious right wing sworn supporter..8-) And he made that video with the theme in his mind - "Akhand Bharat" .. :agree: So JF 17 was having Akhand Bharat Flag..:partay:
  3. The same look or similarity can be gauged from commonality aspect.. We in India and Pakistan are after all Brothers.:cool:.So also Tejas and JF 17.. Brothers should look similar or resemble a bit (small or big does not matter)..:enjoy:
  4. Colombo episode - i cannot claim success of GOI or RAW who sabotaged that deal (also as RAW is everywhere :ph34r: so beware).. ;) Well SLAF did nt buy Tejas also that time.. Its cold calling to warming up the lead ...:coffee: Sales is pretty far ahead.. I would definitely put the Indian babu handling SLAF potential sale in Performance Improvement programmes. And will deduct Babu Appraisal percentage (yet they will still get pay revision benefits!!!):p:

This is called Professionalism. On the contrary if PAF has given any such chance to its counterpart across the border, U wud have seen headlines, talk shows, Official statements of chest thumping, invincibility, psychological victory over PAF etc etc for months.

So many emoticons is also a sign of humiliation.

I agree with the part that normal citizens may not necessarily have the know how to differentiate between different aircaft but actually these were the same normal citizens who pointed out the mistake. Nonetheless the same very govt source itself have no idea of aircraft as its does not require any super vision to distinguish between tailless Delta winged Tejas and trapezoid-shaped wings of Thunder.
 
This had me on the floor like WTF India need to stop accusing people of utmost everything mate

Typical behavior of cheap passive aggressive people...if such a gaffe happened in Pakistan...whole indian media would be all over it for several months..

This reminded me of one favorite verse of mine:

India has so many types of aircrafts in its inventory that even Airforce is getting confused :lol:

On a serious note, India should keep its inventory with only a few type.
