Naah. It was a new explosive material. Not a weapon. One of the new Azido Azides.
Air Battle over Kashmir : MiG-21 Bison shoots down F-16
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
The F 16 that they lost was F 16 B from
Jordan
F 16 B are also twin seaters
If a Twin seater is to be used for a War time
Sortie , you will need to send two pilots
The Cockpit cannot be Re configured
Or Rearranged again and again
That is why Ghafoor said three pilots
One was sent to CMH immediately
Twin-seaters put two pilots on risk. Why will any one do that? They do have single seaters as well.
You are such A ........
See this was a Once in a life time opportunity for the F 16 pilots
Going on a mission against India
Everybody must be "dying " to go
To become a hero
The WC selected himself because he is the boss
His Favourite Subordinate begged him
"Sir MUJHE BHI LE CHALO "
WC took out the two seater F 16 B
I am sure his Co pilot distracted him mid flight or he could not spot Abhinandan's
Plane who simply pounced on them
The WC got killed because of his co pilot
For observation & control?
F-16 is down, there is no doubt about that. At least to me. Now did Wg Cdr Abhinandan actually shoot it down on own or did the 'wingman' aka Pakistanis dealt the final death blow, is what I do not know yet.
Unfortunately I don't have your grapevine... I only rely on open source information. To me the only strange thing in this incidence is the use of a two-seater jet... Pilots are the most vital assets of any air-force.
Stranger things have happened... That said, I believe PAF to be rational enough.You are such A ........

If Exploded in proximity then what's the point in discussing relative speedExplosion at Mach 4? If it was hitting the tail section (not that it hit the aircraft but likely exploded in proximity due to shrapnel signs found on fuselage as can be made out) then what would have been the relative air speed?
Actually, I think @vstol Jockey has rightly pointed out the mechanism of AAM warhead. Its not what deterrent etc believe it to be.If Exploded in proximity then what's the point in discussing relative speed
Things have not gone as per the plan for both.....This one line could explain this.....

Mach 4!!!!
It is always fun to have another view.
I believe country may not announce truth ( loss ) immediately fearing loss of troops morale ..
Next step will be lying ... Here though intention is same , but credibility gets set back..
Next will be forgery .... Here cost out weighs benefit...
That's why I feel any country wouldn't forge evidence s perfectly to keep their narrative.
My assumption why Pak will not forge perfect evidence s.
Coz when tomorrow India lets out some damning evidence.. no country man will respect their force .
There will be leeway kept it place .

They are smart.... The narrative is to prove Abhinandan did not shoot F16.... Proving that is going to be difficult to both the nations.....
There are more to this story...... It will take time to come out.... I can give you a clue.... the parrot will be a retired officer from our neighbour... A juicy piece to sell a book.....
Btw book can be a two way affair.... Our guys also can write
Let us assume for a minute that Abhi did not shoot down the F-16. Than who did it? Was is it once again a case wherein they shot down one of their own?
A Pakistani F16 is shot down
What happened?
1) Abhi shot it down with R 73
2) AD shot it down
3) Friendly fire from other platform down the F16
4) Technical error caused the flame out and crash
It could be any of this with very little chance of 1 of the cause mentioned....
I wonder what is there to discuss. Did Pakistan provided any good reason which can tie up these missiles remains with Indian arsenal?
If not, this could be anything. Chinese import or a local darra made. Who knows?
Pakistan is the most desperate country on earth
After loosing 4 wars AND Half their country
They are Hell Bent on proving that
They did NOT loose an F 16
