The subject at hand is the shooting down of indian MIGs by Pakistan , lets stick to that
Yes, Pakistani forces indeed got a Mig 27 and an Mi 17 kill for their stinger missiles..
But what happened later on, changed the course of the friction and also it became a new topic to study in the syllabus of Modern airwarfare..
I think all of you people know that no country ever operated fighter planes at that altitude and those Mig27s when they went on a bombing run, they developed a biggest flaw..The compressor could not create enough pressure since the air pressure is very very low..Hence the total thrust developed was not enough for the turbofans to fly..This malfunction caused the Mig27 to fly so low without any thrust to operate and at this time the Pakistani intruders got a stinger kill..
Otherwise, hitting a Mig27 with a stinger missile is a higly unlikely scenario in a normal air warfare..
After discovering this, the IAF came up with a different strategy to bombard the post occupied and that is where the use of LGBs first came into IAF..
On this no need of unnecessary chest thumping from any body..Both Forces did what they are to adviced to do from both side's Baapus..
But there is a code of conduct to treat POW(Prisoners of war) as per UN's directives..India Never disrespected fallen soldiers even when they are from enemy's side..But what Pakistani forces did at that time to POWs and Bodies of Indian soldiers, was beyond cruelty..Nobody can deny this claim, because I saw them from my own eyes..If there is any Pakistani soldier or officer here who can deny this claim, pls come up and confront me..
Indian Army recommended gallantry award for a Pakistani officer by looking at his brave fight..Where as Pakistani Army or Army sponsored terrorists, mutilated Indian officer's body, tortured him , cut his organs and burnt his eyes when he was alive..
Can any Pakistani claim that Indian Army have done it ever to any of its adversaries let alone Pakistan???
Answer this, and we shall move on further..
Thanks..
