The Jf-17 can't do anything in this role it is really no different from the F-7 in its inability to deter Coalition air assets. While this incident is regrettable, the Frontier Corps has shown its limited usefulness and coupled with the mass surrender to the Taliban previously, should be withdrawn from the active combat zone and a full scale Pakistani Army offensive launched against insurgents with the end goal of containing and regulating the Pak-Afghan border as well as a massive massadra crackdown to shut down the insurgent recruiting centres. This is the only way to solve the current crisis and critically necessary as while there may be losses to the PA-once Coalition forces withdraw from Afghanistan the insurgents will turn their attetntion southwards causing untold damage, physically and economically to Pakistan. So it is merely a strategy of striking first and containing the threat before it gets out of hand and preventing more of these conflicts of interests between partners.
I'm not saying that JF-17 will intercept a 30'000 ft bomber, neither I'm saying we will show any irresponsible behavior once we have better fire power.
But we may not show same tolerance to a similar incident.
I also don't believe that a 30'000 ft bomber can make guided hits. it was not a 30'000 ft bomber. it's just a stunt from our political leadership to save their face.
Now comming to the point of insurgence, we know that insurgents are our enimies too and we have fought with them without asking US. Sawat operation was one example.
The problem is foreigners does not know what we are facing here.
Undemocratic Afghan govt. is a bunch of brutal warlord who are well paid by indians to send insurgents into Pakistan for terrorism. Those insurgents can travel to Pakistan easily without being notice by PakArmy. instead we believe when ever afghan army has to send across big stock of explosives the do this kind of deviatory acts. So now it is almost certain that while Americans were busy engaging our border security guards. afghan army smuggled in huge quantities of indian made explosives for future terrorism.
Now I'm affraid that some thing bad is comming soon, which may involve huge explosives.
We not only blame NATO for killing Pakistani soldiers instead we blame them for sponsoring terrorism infect al-qaida and US are coalition partners in figting with Pak Army and ploting assisnation of P.Musharraf and of course the media campaign from both against Pakarmy.
Now lets use some brains; What do you expect when a child see his father dying infront of his eyes? he will be a rebel for sure.
What taliban is NATO talking? every day NATO kill young men of age 20 so perhaps when one taliban leader sheltered bin laden (retired american employee) in his house (fiction) they were perhaps 10 years old. Do you think it is fair enought to kill them for the crime which was committed by some one else while they were 10 year old.
DO you think we don't see the theater of war in whole region. Do you expect me to believe that taliban is responsible for it? open your eyes man. you are being brain washed if not than I urge you to become a reporter and go to afghanistan and report the attrocities NATO and indian soldiers are commiting with childrens.
We are helping NATO with our tax money. Please, first send the salaries for those whom you wish to hire for help or bring more soldiers and plug the whole border if still not than let us fence it.
