It must have been a mid sized drone, what has survived is small pieces, must be easily USD 5 million each if not more. Derby is expensive not sure its 1 million a pop. Initial purchases are for Trucks, Radars, Maintenance vehicles Training and other equipment apart from the missile. Replacement cost of missile alone will be much cheaper especially bought in bulk for Tejas also.chola wrote:Erh, a Derby is close to $1M a round.

The Pakistani drone in the Kutch area was shot down by a ‘Derby’ missile from Israeli air defence system SPYDER. First time system used to target enemy aircraft.

The idea of a pressconf is to ask questions- and it is completely justified for a journo to ask if the Indian jets came, bombed & left without a scramble/shot down - it is unacceptable that @SMQureshiPTI would imply lack of patriotism of a journalists asking such a qn.

Today India ended her practice of strategic patience & IAF conducted precision strikes inside Pakistan territory. Does it mean the coin of covert terrorism will be paid in the coin of overt force ? The former satisfies ghosts the latter strengthens confidence in a nation state.

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
Yes but what % of the drone is left, the Derby seems to have demolished most of the the parts or strewn all over the Desert, there no wings, fuselage etc left. So we can't get an idea of its size which such miniscule debris left.Lilo wrote: The debris of the Paki drone , legs of people seen in the background for scale.
Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
Hmmm, small pieces. Look a wee bit small for their larger drones (unless the Derby incinerated it.)Lilo wrote:

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
From one of my colleagues. On WhatsApp group.Hats off to the pilots of the Indian Air Force who are using 15 year old refurbished Mirage 2000s to hit the terror camps in POK. We don't drive 15 year old cars and our pilots are flying these junks in the sky. Imagine if we have had the Rafale's by now, our pilots could have done a shoot and scoot deep inside Pakistani territory. Now, realise the damage that was deliberately done by the Congress to deny a modern fighter aircraft to IAF. Was it a deliberate move to weaken our Armed Forces? If you ask me, the answer is YES.

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
So the source is confirming that pictures will be released. The only reason I want to see the pics is to cleanse the memory of the pics of the Pulwama attack. Pictures need to be shown, not as a proof for naysayers but as a memory that everybody including naysayers should've in their minds.sooraj wrote:IAF jets dropped 6 bombs on Pak terror camp

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
Great validation in real world conditions. All the test firings do cost money. It also sends the message that anything with evil intent that crosses IB or LoC will be hunted down.chola wrote:Erh, a Derby is close to $1M a round.

But it's true that low cost options should be exercised for drones.

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
So six 1000kg munitions dropped. Were the mirages in the strike package carrying other bombs that were not dropped for whatever reason or was the package mostly armed for interception as a show of force with just those six predesignated targets? If the package was armed for bear wrt to air combat then it makes sense that the f16s gave us another proud demonstration of the Pakistani way of doing war. Having a couple of f16s lit by eight or nine radars in target acquisition mode would make anyone shit in their pants.

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
Could someone pls post a summary every 100 posts or so for those who go to the pakistan for 10-minute Fact-Finding Tour and return to see another 1000 posts?
So far what I see is:
Pakistan lost 325 to 500 terrorists. Plus one drone. OK, the drone was a bad loss.
India lost a lot of fuel, 6 100-kg bombs and 1 imported $1M missile.
Clearly Pakistan the winner so far. All F-16s survived and returned to base, ready for full a/b flight to Jeddah. OK, let's see what happens next. Thx

Epic. I am reminded of this.
1. Mahabharat serial in the 1990s which would open with this. It had a profound effect on our thinking and this part would give us goosebumps.

2. Modi himself lived up to his oratory here. See the 2nd link with him on Rajat Sharma's show on how to stand up to Paks terror attacks.

Re: Indian Air Forces Strikes Pakistan along with Ground Assault
From Pulwama thread
"Modi govt is following same format as previously, First Modi went to meet Nawab sharij before taking strong stand just to show world that we tried for peace. Now immediately after this incident,India went to UN and asked to ban azhar masood even after knowing that China will block. Now all options are open for India except nuclear without International tensions.
My only Wish is this time it should be Air strike and release videos of missile hitting targets with big boom , so that in future once we receive Armed drones we can keep on attacking these lunch pads based on Intel and Pak cant escalate for poor jihadists and will not acknowledge this drone attacks with their shamble economy."
My wish came true
Massive Air strike CHECK
Air strike video WAITING
Armed drones WAITING

Arrah hu akbal,
Yindoo has put the thumb in the paki bum and twisted it viciously. Other then yelping helplessly and going red under the burkha, bakis cant do much. If it claims rabe, then it would need 4 bious witnesses. Hence just bend over and taking it seems to be only option.

The usual Pak cover up aka dog and pony show will turn up to pretend all is well and nothing happened.
I wont be surprised if Pak Army is begging GOI to not release the bombing vidoes to protect its H&D and uses that as a quid pro quo to "not retaliate".
I hope GOI treats that proposal with the contempt it deserves. Deterrence is established by public thappads. And Pak Army/AF needs to lose face in front of their domestic constituency.

Per BBC. Reportedly heavy Pakistani military presence in the area.
Pakistan's military has cordoned off the area and not even the local police are allowed in, so it will be some time before details of the attack become known.
