The beauty is Pak pays to get screwed - since the project is financed by a loan from Panda.
Pipeline is included in cpec.

Shalwars truly brown now?Pakistani FM says Pakistan is ready to release the Indian pilot, India responds
Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Thursday that his country is ready to consider the release of the Indian pilot, who has been detained since it broke through Pakistani airspace, as a way to reduce the recent tension with New Delhi.
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
So many twists. One one hand airspace is being opened indicating thaw and on the other hand India's statements seem to indicate there would be escalation. I guess we will have to wait for the press conference today evening.
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Few things that could be construed from Twitter posts:
1) Paki PM wanted to have direct phone call with Modi ji. Modi ji probably refused to talk to him.
2) Dossier on Pulwama attack was handed over to Pakistani deputy High Commissioner yesterday.
3) Saudi has tried to mediate this time. Immediate action Pakis have promised is to repatriate Wing Commander Abhinandan.
4) Most probably time bound actions would be expected from Pakistan regarding JeM and dossier we have given. --> my conjecture
Pakistan is trying to make it Kandahar like situation w.r.t. Wing Commander Abhinandan making it as an end of engagement. We are trying to say that is is pre-requisite. If Pakis hand him over today, they will get few days of respite in my view. If not, they seem to be in for a rude shock.

Regardign CPEC pipeline, to lift oil up, to have seperate heating to ensure pipes dont fracture, would need a seperate Energy grid worth many billions of Dollars.

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Most likely evening press conf will convey this and that we reserve right to hit terror camps in Pakistan. In the latest statement, India is accusing Pak of creating war hysteria. Not sure what to make of it. Looks like de-escalation it is. It will be a mistake in my opinion. This is a great chance to deliver a knock out punch to their economy.Shivaji wrote:

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Are we waiting for the OIC meet to be done before we start any action ..Sushma ji is travelling today as guest of honour and the meet is from March1st to 2nd
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Regarding war hysteria, we have not mobilised but Pakis have fully done, repeat it a few times and they go kaput, we should make public accept F-16 loss and publically bury some of the more important members at Balakot before any descalation

FlightRadar GCI operators.. please remember that the data is from ADS-B receivers sent via the internet, so the coverage varies a lot. So, an aircraft dropping out from map simply means that no data received from any ADS-B receiver about its squak. It need not mean the transponder is turned off.
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Yesterday Iron Brother flight to Lahore diverted to Delhi; passengers returned to Guangzhou. Since they fly twice a day to Delhi, I am sure some crew was available to do the return trip (it would have been more urgent to get the Pakis out than to fly the scheduled Delhi-Guangzhou flight).
It was a widebody.

Umm, do those 2 inlets look similar? The burnt one seems much more rounder and bigger to me. Though it definitely doesn't look like a Mig-21 inlet to me.pralay wrote:more analysis of the F16 wreckage tomtomed by PAF as Mig21

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
I was looking at the video here https://twitter.com/MdShafiKhatana/stat ... 0864004096
In my view the engine cowling or ribbed metal is not the Engine part but more like Part of Aircraft fuselage
But the drop tank looks like from F-16

Not correct. F-16 inlet doesnt have any lining inside. The MiG-21 fuselage is bent on impact giving an F-16 appearance.pralay wrote:more analysis of the F16 wreckage tomtomed by PAF as Mig21

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
I get that. I am trying to decipher which aircraft it is. Doesn't seem like either F-16 or Mig-21 to me. Could it be JF-17?

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
The biggest mistake of the ANI tweet is that it posted a GE engine. Pakistani F-16s since 1980 have P&W engines including their newest Block 50 ones. Secondly the black engine liner is there in MiG-21 engine too.SaiK wrote:https://twitter.com/saikanomie/status/1 ... 62144?s=19

Pakistani F-16 was indeed a twin seater.Vishnu reporting .
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
this is completely wrong its not the F16 - its our Mig21. the wreckage has that curvy edged round thing thats the back of the engine, not the bigmouth. the sine wave thing is the flame stabilizer at core of tumansky R25 enginepralay wrote:more analysis of the F16 wreckage tomtomed by PAF as Mig21

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Nah look at the rear end of the drop tank on Mig-21 its Curvy while this one is not and is exactly like the F-16 with Drop Tank Picture I had posted , The front end of Mig-21 tank is more sharp and not blunttsarkar wrote:Its a MiG-21 drop tankAustin wrote: But the drop tank looks like from F-16
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
No Sir see the Mixed pics, the ones with Indian flag and light grey is Indian Mig , MEA and IAF statement said 1 IAF aircraft missing and 1 enemy aircraft shot down. These are not the Mig 21's wreckage. So this definitely of the PAF aircraft, notice how the tail is hidden away and parts including CFT taken away by Pak Army, compared to leaving the Bison fuselage with Pak troops standing and posing along with it. These dont look like MIrage 3 or JF 17, the rectangle ribbed structure defiantly looks like F-16

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
We have yet to see any conclusive pictures of F-16 parts , Perhaps they fell off far off from Mig-21 crash site.
The only evidence we have is initial POK folks from ground who on multiple occasion confirmed of 2-3 parachutes

Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
Best way to remove confusion, shoot down 7-8 F-16s in a repeat raid. Pakistan cannot hide away that many
Re: Indian Forces Strike Pakistan - News Only
iron birather has urged smaller than ant chamcha to cool down asap and behave as per international norms (i.e. release the pilot)
no reporting on F16 loss in western media, I guess due to lack of evidence so far... but it will come
