That crash was related to evacuation of senior PA officer injured on LOC not Afgan border

Link from other thread PAF publishes target video https://twitter.com/anasmallick/status/1172951760144670720?s=21 ACTUAL video displayed by Pakistan Air Force today of 1 of the 4 targets where it had dropped 6 bombs on 27th Feb’19.

South African Denel, it was called RAAD in PAF Service

Aditya_V

So PAF admitting it tried to hit military targets, no miltary including US can waste PGM, that too for a target a few KM from the LOC, let alone expensive H4 by PAF. So obviously we must have hit something militarily significant for the PA/PAF on 26 Feb 19 morning for their response But shows the im...

There is no way you get proper electronics and wiring done soo fast, my predictions are these are for Belt and Road Debt enforcement, unfortunately the Chinese are going to attack a relatively weak country without allies soon.

Aditya_V

Yup but IAF needs to Augment numbers and not just wait for Uptopian A-330s, if C-295 based Netra's can give the numbers they should go for it. This can relive the Phalcons in some areas for 24 by 7 duty.

Aditya_V

Yes apart from the above, the Navy will always require a few Land based fighters for coastal defense of vital ports etc replace Jaguar IM with the land based Anti shipping role with Harpoon 2 etc, and even on carriers like INS Vikram Aditya and INS Vikrant, it will probably have greater up time than...

Aditya_V

That is 2 wheelers and 3 Wheelers put together

Aditya_V

Hmmm, nice link- the total number of trucks and Buses sold were 281- Nice?

Aditya_V

Wait Erieye an AEW like Netra restricted to 240 degree coverage? And Dont think it has the range of Phalcon which is mounted on a Jet while this is on a Turboprop.

But certainly it is lot of AEW for the PAF.

Aditya_V

I think , PAF could not repair the 2 and hence 3 were lost in TTP attacks, and Chinese ZDK has been a non starter and was not there in Mar 19. So it probably 4 Erieye for the PAF

Any Chance, P-15's will get a few Brahmos replacing the Uran missiles, although given some of the Pakistani "Corvettes" built by Damen etc, we should have some cheap missiles to sink many of them without wasting Brahmos.

The river flows into Pakistan and back into India, River keeps changing course and Level, so something is flouted down from Pakistan into India on a makeshift raft, this may be the reason.

Wasn't the US also initially involved in trying to put an American engine. If they reveal the true nature of JF 17 and why it cannot do a loop at any airshow will be revealed

Over the years on BRF right from buying 500 retiring F16A/Bs in 99-01 era to these F15 to buying swarms of Mig 35 I have seen huge fans think of India buying it's way to greatness.

Logically the whole sequence of events make sense 1) After 2nd Mumbai style operation flopped 2) Holes which led to Pathankot were blocked 3) Post Uri surgical Strikes Pakistan did not want Modi- the whole idea was to humiliate him and the Indian Armed forces in front of the core base, they knew tha...

Why should Pakistan have MSP, they should develop cattle rearing and leather industry, develop mining, Timber export and shutdown textile, agriculture and other unwanted industries. Pakistan should go for 100% meant based diet.

Add Sanders to this thread for coherency. Sanders, meanwhile, headlined a low-dollar campaign fundraiser at an Indian-Pakistani restaurant where he was introduced by Abdul El-Sayed, a former Michigan gubernatorial candidate. What is this?

If I am right all variants of Mig 21 M and UM(type 69) are going to be retired later this financial year. So are pilots going to move from Hawk to Bisons with the type conversion training? As noted Mig 21 with its High landing speed is a challenging aircraft to fly.

Aditya_V

Is that a Mig 21 Bison or soon to be retired Mig 21M, are there any 2 seat Mig 21 Bison's? So in future IAF pilots will move from Hawk to MIg 21 Bisons till they are retired?

Aditya_V

Ever heard of talk softy and carry a Big stick?

Aditya_V

One reason could be since its WVR combat the Rafale can use full maneuverability of the MICA, will the F-22 the Aim 9M/9X has to pushed out before it can start maneuvering.

Doesnt Allah and Army go together in Pakistan- dual use facility, I am talking of areas slightly to the east North east

Aditya_V

in Addition to the site put out by Yensoy, I think Baba is talking about this site near 34.382167, 73.570628 near Pir Chanasi

Aditya_V

And Also remember in the beginning of Mar 19, the Pakistani Army T-80 Tanks were seen rushing out of their military compounds onto civilian roads and in Sialkot sector messing them up, there must have been something which set such panic reactions.

It was on unspeakable forums etc and Paki websites, and was released on 27-Feb-19 attributed to Hassan Siquidui, who has not been seen since 27-Feb-19.

Whatever, it is disappointing to see the Pakistani Ruppee perform so well, trading in the 155-157 levels, a 30% Depreciation by year end would be nice.

I stand corrected, MEA press realease called it a "NON MILTARY" strike at Balakot, all Press reports fed on IAF Sources on 26-Feb-19 morning said Balokot, Muzaffarabad and Chakoti. Asif Ghaffoora first tweet at about 4:00 AM PST was IAF Shallow intrusion at Muzaffarabad. Plus PAf response ...

It's all psyops, no need to take babaji very seriously onlee. And AFAIK no official sources have mentioned the two other strike locations - so let's not turn rumour to truth? https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/india-news-indian-air-force-jets-drop-1000-kg-bombs-across-loc-destroy-terror-cam...

We did not fire BVR that day, the only reason given is clarity regarding ROE, remember the action was over in 5-10 mins

If Baba is correct the Targets at Muzaffarabad and Chokoti were Paki Ly80 and Paki Army site taken out. Pakis cut internet in POK 25 Feb.
