They did it in 1971. And maybe just maybe it was a guy who had come to get trained or to provide training.

So it is confirmed that the Pakistani F-16 pilot who landed alive was beaten to death (!! :eek: ) by civilians that met up with him. I dont think it can be a case of mistaken identity- the pilot suit usually carries a patch of the PAkistan flag on the left shoulder. It must have been deliberate- wh...

I am betting that international diplomats and their families are probably on that Emirates, Air Arabia and Qatar Airways flight now showing up on Flightradar24. By 5:00p.m they will all be out of Paki airspace - coinciding with the news conference here by our trip-service representatives. I now see...

BTW< I don't think this is over by a long shot. Getting the WingCo back is just the first step.

rajithn

And the WingCo returns to India tomorrow. Being returned unconditionally!

That 5:00p.m news conference was indeed a deadline given to the Pakis!!!!

Was our AWACS not active when the pakis intruded? We should have been able to notice them from very far out and scrambled our jets well in advance, shouldn't we? How do you suppose we had those interceptors up in the first place? We could not engage until the crossed the LoC. And that is exactly wh...

Wrong. There is enough commercial air traffic over New Delhi. I can count over 15-20 a/c on approach or having departed.

Our briefing after the strikes were clear: that ours was a pre-emptive non-military strike on terrorist targets. Now, theirs has been an attempted targeting of a Brigade HQ > A military target. They escalated. And this is also the sum of the briefing by the MEA this afternoon. The fact that an AVM w...

rajithn

I sense de escalation and the usual perception optics saga, do you guys feel the same? I don't think so. It would be a pity if this leads to deescalation. Because then this would be the new normal: We attack the terrorist camps in PoJK or Pakistan proper and they can attack our military assets...an...

Manu Pubby ‏ Verified account This can now be said without doubt - The Pakistani military now has Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman under custody. He is a MiG 21 pilot. Hoping he remains safe.

If that really is our pilot, I am afraid PAF has redeemed itself partially. Cuz we will never see those 300 JEM bodies and he will be paraded before the media 24/7....and where is the Paki pilot? This is war . And loss of service personnel, however sad, is bound to happen. What we shouldn't do is t...

rajithn

In time, we will see "leaks" of video and still photos..... in time. For now the shalwar browning has happened to a great degree and perhaps such video won't be released to give them a fig leaf which they can use to not "escalate".

rajithn

Adding to the above: And to a certain degree, the number of dead is a moot point. The point is they were hit and hit at three places (and the strike in Balakot wasn't very far from Pindi GHQ and ISI HQ). They were "on high alert" supposedly and could not stop 12 M2Ks and the air cover figh...

rajithn

Sorry to be a wet blanket but I am not sure about the number of causalities or damage. We do need to release pics /intel confirming the same else we need to be very circumspect about our estimates. In this day and age using laser targeted bombs/Satellite pics there is a lot of imagery that GOI undo...

Why is there no civilian air traffic anywhere north of Faisalabad all the way up North until Abbotabad?

Skies above Rawalpindi, Islamabad....all empty of civil air traffic

Don't think so. The large 4 engined (SMK 190) is doing 92 Knots?! And two of the aircraft on the longish circuit don't appear to be on a training sortie. Check SMK 333 and SMK 335

rajithn

Check Live Flight Tracker. Something happening over Mardan. North of Nowshera and NNE of Peshawar.

What could be one refueled wrongly designated as an Emirates A380 and 3-5 other aircraft (SMK *numbers*) doing circuits

I repeat: What is going to happen IS going to happen from a direction that is not expected.

rajithn

The retribution will not come from TSP's east. It will be where they are not looking.

Need to consider that they attacked in three directions. India. Iran. And Afghanistan. There has been some level of coordination.

How did 350 Kgs of I assume RDx type explosive reach the valley This couldn’t have come in via the LoC It went in via the Jammu-Srinagar highway through Punjab If drugs come into Punjab, then explosives can come in too Did this come in via the Bangladesh border into a safe house in WB?

The exercise is not in PoK. It is in Cherat. That is west of I-SLUM-abad.

So, someone correct me where I am going wrong on this. If India becomes a full member of NSG, it will be able to attract investments, make purchases etc of nuclear material and equipment, but not be able to use ANY of it for military purposes. So, the upside of full membership is that India will be...

Pardon my comments for being incorrect from the parliamentary language angle. These Indian ex-envoys to Pakistan are possibly suffering for their honey trapped peccadilloes and as such are under the Cwapistani Deep State especially its ISI goons. Yes, of course.

Going by how Modi operates, its not that Doval/Modi have been befooled--they are far too smart and experienced for this. It's more likely that they want to give a fair chance to Pakistan to mend its way before it is 'disciplined' by an external force. We should understand this. It is certainly not ...

Meanwhile, we have this pathetic spectacle of the perpetrators of Patankot, the Paki ISI, being allowed to visit the AFB to supposedly investigate. I really feel sorry for ModiJi.

I offer my left ball for amputation by any BRFite if the news of allowing Shitistanis into Pathankot AFB is true * . I bet it is fake and lifted from Paki sources. News media in India (and in the world in general) are simply liars who want to publish what others do simply to catch eyeballs. We must...
