Amazing to see that the 2 pilots who were involved in the mid-air collision 6 years back are now back on the team. Red 10 and Red 1 were involved in the accident.

Arnab Goswami and Modi's Hindutava mindset will interpret this thanks and visit as a clear signal that Pakistan is isolated .. hahaha ..

Even their actions come closer to being a SurJiKal strike than IA or IAF

Good thing they are going to India next, may be they can explain to them what a surgical strike actually is
