I think what is trying to suggest that the hanger was not resistant to an attack, or that the cost of an armoured aircraft pen is relative still a small amount when compared to the cost of loosing a national airborne surveillance capability.
Yes you maybe correct that Minhas had a very large covered shed for Swedish aircraft, but the hangers were not secure and could not stop miscreants from completing their mission. I feel that it maybe a missed assessment of the asymmetric threat that exists in Pakistan, and affects us all.
So they finally officially admit to one aircraft totaled in the attack. I wonder what happened to the other two. I won't be surprised that this is still a half truth, or half lie, whichever suits you from your frame of reference.

that my friend is total and utter B.S.
all Saabs were parked inside proper hangers, the likes of which u see above in the karakarum eagle pic.
infact one of the saab hanger is huge, so huge that it can house three saabs simultaneously and it was this hanger that was hit and the rpg rocket was only able to penetrate the hanger as the hanger door was open 1/3 of the way to make way for the fuel bowser.
furthermore all saab hangers are climate controlled.
the pics we see of the saabs parked in "open sheds" are the pics of the flight line and not of actual hangers that house the awacs.
all this confusion has been circulated by over zealous kids who cant differenciate their hind side from their front.
i hope that clears the confussion.
