Why Pak Air defense didn't intercept IAF's Balakot incursion

[RuheTag]

sorry, dumb questions

Well, the real answer would lie with PAF but as we speculate here, lets do on it. I am wondering when it is better shoot an enemy aircraft using a Air defense missile (e.g. Crotale) and/or Jet. Also why it would have been better to not shoot IAF incursion with a missile rather than letting them go and going after them (which was more dangerous).

With so many advanced automatic weaponry, I wonder how much does the skill of the pilot counts in avoiding air defense system and shooting the adversary aircraft before getting shot.

They did and escorted them to return

Its not that simple, do you think IAF don't know where were SAM placements? they chose the location for some reason, plus paf never wanted shoot that night.

If they came it. They did so using valleys and mountain creeks. Just like we did to them in return. Radars cant see below 30 meters in mountaineous terrain it can be a few 100 meters.

My personel opinion. Can be wrong

no, i mean the air defense system. e.g. Crotale etc. OR maybe they intercepted but didnt want to shoot them in order not to escalate it at that point ?

Because balakot is 40km from loc and stand off weapons have 60+ range and IAF stayed less than 4 minutes thus missed the targets

Well if there is a hole in our defenses then we better fill it pretty quick.

Shooting would have escalated thus we forced them out with our CAP Teams, second time they intruded we had no other option and we shot them down. First time warning / Second time shot down.
Question is were HQ-16s/LY-80 deployed or not ?

Their is no declaration of war at the time of incident from both parties, its a standard procedure to intercept of enemy fighter jets with own fighter jets, if we down Indian jets with SAMs or AA guns then we are full fledged war @RuheTag

civil traffic rush all over they can not fire it satisfied

IAF fighters never crossed LOC. IAF fighters used SOW.

It is not hidden fact that publicly Pal has no long range and high altitude SAM, LY80 and SPADA are for perhaps to secure sensitive sites at most the border areas have AA guns and Man pads. The areas are mostly defended by jets.

Air Defence Missile will take down any intruding Aircraft but after declared war. IAF jets violated LoC, Air Defence detected them in time, PAF reach & intercepted and forced them out of our Airspace. The latest U-turn in Indian statement that never cross LoC is something out of this world that saner minds will only clap slowly & throw their own statements on the face of Indian Politicians & leadership. Indian mass propaganda & warmongering actually have created an atmosphere that now populace mindset is beyond recovery unless, sense start to knock them.

IAF violated first and then Pakistan as said, told them of a surprise. The real question is, despite Indian preparedness for the warning by Pakistan, all those claims of so & so Air Defence; how come PAF left an awe & shock mark in Indian territory.

Thread closed having no substance to discuss.
