Syed Yusuf, When are we going to apply common sense to this simple matter ? Remember Rehman malik and other official statements right after attack that one was damaged with nose cone ? And go back few pages, where secretary defense and and assistant secretary defence claimed one was completly destroyed. This is the GOP that provided the information.
How this to be a sensitive matter for PAF? Did PAF bought jets with their own money or with tax payer money ? When USA can hold a public inquiry in to F-22 crases and release the report detailing why F-22 crashed public, Is SAAB more sensitive than F-22 ?
So if you still want believe your mammay chachay in PAF who says 4 all are operational, then be my guest. We will stick what the higher authorities said. 1 destoryed, 1 damaged.
@Bratva.
No one is denying the news of one A/C being damaged. The question to which there seems to be no answer is whether
A. The nose cone story was the original assessment and later on much more damage was detected.
B. Whether there were more aircrafts damaged in the hanger.
So far both parties have stuck to their points of view and none can produce evidence barring lack of photographs after the event.
Iam interpreting the loss of one aircraft as the one damaged based on the original version of the story of a shrapnel induced damage to the baulkhead which may have caused more damage to the inside. The western firms often write off these planes due to the cost of repairs being higher than the cost of the planes. There may have been some indication as well of peeople trying to make money from possible buying of another platform. This has now been repaired.
The other story of the terrorists having 30 minutes to themselves before being discovered at least to me does not hold water in that it would have meant loss of all 3 platforms without any shadow of doubt. So till someone gives me irrevocable proof of 3 platforms damaged/1destroyed this is what I will hold on to. Iam not necessarily saying that the other version is nout the truth, for in Pakistan anything is possible, but it does not make sense to me.
@Bilal Khan 777 if you dont want to makeyour credentials known to the public please contact
@fatman17 or the current lead of thinktank or
@Xeric. It is important that you be given the right designation without compromising your identity. But till then sorry but your word is as good as mine or any other member.

My friend that doesnt mean you keep on loosing assets worth millions of dollars from the hands of some handful filthy foreign sponsored terrorists ...
Thanks God you weren't paf spokes person otherwise how lame and dumb it would have been sounded hearing "we lost saab erieyes but don't worry we already have more Awacs then we need and our neighbor has just 2 Awacs ..so lets party hard and forget about the million dollars we "a cash strapped country" lost there" ....Seriously mate don't argue just for the sake of arguing
That maybe true but at the same time the people who's money has been lost need to know what happened. The blame needs to be assigned and the responsible punished. If what some of you are saying then it is criminally negligent ogf the PAF/Guarding forces whatever their designation.
