the effort here is to produce theories, some may call it conspiracy theories, theories which make some head or tail about the parties and motives behind this "attack"!
In case of such "attacks", it is the responsibility of the Pakistani Military to show transparency and certification. If the Americans were to scour the wreckage and appear satisfied that nothing was tampered with, then of course there is not much going for this theory, but in the absence of incontrovertible confirmation from some such quarter, this theory remains just as plausible if not more than whatever version the Pakistani government or military puts forward.
It is up to Pakistanis to prove that above was not the case!
Let's remember that the Pakistanis did not manage to apprehend any of the attackers, there is no video evidence of the attack, the CCTV being down, and the military is being less than helpful in allowing the civilian authorities get at the bottom of this; all this pointing to connivance of the military leadership with the attackers. Considering the target of this attack, the P-3C Orions had nothing much to do with TTP or War on Terror, one has to look for a motive by the establishment for this attack! And that motive can either be to recover some of their credibility with their old patron, USA, or try to ingratiate themselves with their new patron, PRC!
This attack happened after 2200 hours when perhaps the 24/7 monitoring was not so attentive. Secondly there were many Chinese technicians on the premises.
