Am no conspiracy theorist, but this part always bugged me , why would an anti India Taliban kill assets which would never be used against it.. but be used against India....
I believe zardari regime is using its resources and authority to facilitate indians, carry out their operations against securtiy forces.
Of course Zardari's media wing, is misleading the nation.
May be they attacked India specific planes just to derail peace process. Isn't it obvious that people jumped to conclusion that India was behind this.
.
So Zardari is SUPERMAN of the world?
PAF is nothing in front of him, cos' he is letting them get pasted
PA is nothing in front of him, cos' he is letting them get pasted
PN is nothing in front of him, actually nothing in front of anyone
ISI is nothing in front of him, cos' he is pasting them
ISPR is nothing in front of him, cos' they are only singing his songs
And Zardari is nothing in front of India, because India can make him do all of the above!
Then I must be Superman, cos' my country can make him do all that
C'mon give Zardari a break; he is not so smart as all that, besides you are only running down your own institutions. Which have been around long before anybody had even heard of Zardari....
go in the naughty corner you bad bad naughty boy, for your information our navy is better than Nepal' & Afghanistan's Navy so be quiet.
At what point will the PAF be answerable to the general public, or at least the handful that pay taxes? For an Air Force to lose its most expensive asset, at a time when it has virtually no funds to procure anything else, is absolutely embarrassing. The IAF planners would have accounted for the destructions of these aircraft in their most optimistic scenarios; we have managed to destroy them on the ground deep within Pakistan.
In modern day net centric warfare, there are few more valuable assets than the AEWCs. Yet one (at least) was destroyed within a couple of years of induction. It is analogous to buying a Ferrari and then smashing it on the light pole right in front of the showroom. We might as well have sent the millions of dollars to Kashmir and let the NLI burn it for warmth. At least then it would have benefited someone.
What's most frustrating is the incremental advantage each AEWCs aircraft provides. The safety of each platform should have been paramount. Pakistan isn't the first nation to suffer losses at a base, the Americans come to mind, but we have lost a sizable portion of our war fighting capability in one swoop. A professional air force exists only to protect the skies and thereby it's own assets required for said job. For the PAF to let this happen, along with its general inaction (forced or otherwise) in recent times, has created serious doubt as to how capable and professional this force really is.
It takes maturity and training to be able to ask questions.
Our public is not in the habbit of asking questions.
ISLAMABAD: In an attack on Kamra airbase, an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) plane was destroyed, while ten attackers were also killed, the National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence was told on Wednesday.
Defence Secretary Lieutenant General (retired) Asif Yasin Malik informed the committee that the defence installations saw their last attacks in Peshawar and the Kamra airbase.
He said intelligence officials who supported the terrorists had also been charged.
AWACS plane destroyed in Kamra attack, NA body told - thenews.com.pk
Not asking the right questions actually.
I recall a speech by a Scholar on Islamic history and the first question from the audience was if using microphone was halal or haram!!!!!
indeed there is a colonial mentality among the holders of important positions (civil & military) that they are not answerable to anyone. while a public inquiry is launched, I would like to know if the same base or other bases have had any improvement in security or is it still those half alert half asleep and bored soldiers lazily holding a gun behind a barrier?
And ever since Adnan Rashid escaped from Bannu jail, attacks like this have been happening. Kamra, Peshawar and a couple of other attempts...I am sure Adnan Rashid is the master planner of these attacks.
what a shame, that he escaped
and even more shameful that he might find supporters and sympathisers among his family & general public.
