Air Battle over Kashmir : MiG-21 Bison shoots down F-16

Government is not a different entity from citizens. A sane public will not ask such questions which they think would hurt India's interest. People are not fools. People understand what can be asked and what not. And that's why there are 10 fundamental duties as well.

People are fool. Where did you get this idea that people are smart?
 
When they speak to civilian government indirectly they answer to the public as the public has chose those sitting in the government and parliament.
I know they have seperate courts , this doesnt mean they are divine and shouldn't be questioned.
I will question when a new upgraded M2000 crashes and tax payer loses 250-300 crore in a blink while the poor pilot maims for life or loses his life.

You are free to question as much as you want to, but there are no answers to give you.

Just wait about 30 years, and you will get some information if the armed forces wish to share it.

Well they should , if we people demand they will. Some ruckus after the skirmish forced them to release the radar pics isnt it??
Dont underestimate the power of common man. We are emotional fools hence lack critical thinking be it against our own armed forces.
 
IAF is an Airforce designed to fight, not an aviation club. Crashes do happen if you push to the limits quite frequently. Barring Mig-21, our crash rate to flying hours ratio is fine.

Yes but the point is if past so many years IAF can't decide which aircraft they want then there must be questions asked.

Technically, more or less. I have not received official training in military affairs or foreign affairs. So my opinions are worthless in these matters.

No different from you all.


What you call classified is exploited in India for the vested interest of government servants and politicians. Every thing in Home Ministry is classified if there was no accountability would you ever come to know about the affidavit filed by Chidambram.

In India there is a high requirement to implement accountability.
 
Aircraft crashes are a classified info lol?
Telling an aircraft crashed due to technical failure , human error , manufacture defect is a classified info or an exercise to save someone's as*
What a load BS..
Its not like anyones demanding release of Bose files or nuke secrets , citizens are sane enough to understand that. Hiding under "national security" is BS

Yes, especially if the crash relates to something that can cripple the whole fleet. Any information released is of direct benefit to the enemy.

Whose asking for specifics anyways , they can simply say technical failure or Pilot error if any but here in India 11 crashes occurred , no sign of court of inquiries getting finished , no one held responsible , no ones penalized , no ones suspensed.
They would have even tried to push Mi17 incident under the rug if not for so much public attention.
They can say this this were responsible , this was the reason but we cannot reveal further simple.
As per a report a whole squadron of aircrafts has been lost in last 4-5 years , 11 this year. And then IAF whines about Rafales and low nos
This is simply saving one's asses , be it IAF , HAL , MoD or corruption in spare procurement

You simply do not know how the military functions. There's nothing more to it.

So Military functions by getting away with their accountability i dont think so, anyways like you said what we say on forums(our opinion) is worthless. No one can absolve anyone by saying u know nothing about it. LoL i still hold onto my opinion. Everyone should be held accountable be it the government , armed forces or ordinary common man. Training has nothing to do with this just like "national security".
Whenever in future this country stops being emotional fool and starts believing in critical thinking without getting called anti national , we may progress faster.
 
When did Pakistan have economy that you guys are worried about it? The upper and lower limits of Pakistan's GDP with the increasing populations is 6% growth rate and 2% growth rate of a constant GDP of some 237 Billion dollars respectively. The concerns regarding economy will come into play when you cross 35 crore population. Till then you can feed your self and India knows this. The day your 2% falls to 0% which may happen soon due to lack of private investment (FATF) that will be another concern, because in Pakistan the people and the army have the money. The system is bit different from the rest.
You are the only member here who sometimes gives little support to Pakistan and give us a reality check.most of your concerns about your country is also genuine but at the end of the day,your country is very big and big means numerical superiority.

Show us the video and death certificate
I am not saying that it was indian pilot.it could be anyone.i have no idea about 2nd pilot.i am not here to support false narrative.we all should believe what we have seen.we clearly saw two jets and that matters for us all.

This question should be asked by people of Pakistan to their PAF where are the radar images of the night of 26th Feb. There will not be any radar images because, your ground radars were turned off to save fuel for generator and power.
We detected them very late.we tried to stop them but they already dropped bombs so it was useless to chase your fighter jets.your mission was strategically a milestone.credit should be given where it is due but technically,it failed.our understanding of situation is not entirely based on army statement.it is based on individual organizations and their high resolution images.yoh can't blame us if nobody believes that you hit the target.we said no hit on the spot and later it was supported by well known organizations.we don't want to mock you.you intruded deep and I think it's a milestone.

We will see and not long from now, after the way Imran and Bajwa was sweating on 27th night and begging for mercy and calling everyone to save them and unilaterally surrendering on Abhinandan you still think you won't go down! These moments define the depth and strength of leadership.


Which video? Do post here, not 1 hour long game show of PAF the actual clip.


You should ask Gafoor don't you think? Why was he screaming "pit gaye pit gaye" at 5AM in morning, he will tell you in detail about the clip and impact.
Sir why you think that we are afraid of you or your missiles? We released abhinandan after we did 27. We did our part and we didn't want it to escalate.that is simple answer.we never want war,even not today.we only wanted to reply you for 26 which we did.now we are all safe and sound.no more indian escalation anymore.only loc flare up.

Sir watch the second part of show.there is actual video recording of paf plane.sir I trust paf.we made one mistake and you made history.i give all credit to iaf which manages to intrude deep in Pakistan but our reply was also good so I have no worries.any war will begin with air Superiority and we trust paf.they love f-16 and they are flying it from 80s.they are mad for f-16.

The easy thing to hide for IAF was the Friendly fire.....What did you see? A complete COI and people are punished.....So if there was a Su30 down, btw it was well within Indian border then we would be having a different conversation.....
Sir I have no idea about the second jet but I am also sure that there was second jet.i will not lie here.truth will come out sir.we are completely satisfied with paf performance.sir they are flying f-16 since 80s and they know each and every weakness of their jets.hasan also said sleep tight,paf is awake which means sir as a pakistani,I shouldn't worry.you can also hear them.they are professionals who know everything about their jets which is very important.sir I give iaf credit for balakot but another balakot looks very hard now because Pakistan is buying stuff to stop iaf.for us,air Superiority matters.you also want air superiority.i think both air forces are top air forces.

No one, including iaf said they dropped their bombs and ran away in haste. The grapevine was always that paf deliberately remove the fuse and dropped it a bit off deliberately to show what they can do. And then they loitered with the intention of downing a sukhoi on Pakistan soil. ImrAn khan, being a moron, thought he was sending a military message. What he ended up doing was to convince modi he will protect terrorists using paf if need be. I expected modi to send a raid to punish the base that sent the jets. He decided to punish Pakistan much worse. He just annexed all of Kashmir and now has his eyes set on POK. Your af can keep the bison. We’ll keep the territory.
But members here said that we are unprofessional and dropped bombs in haste and ran away.this is what I heard here.

PAF knows their F-16s and IAF are a bunch of bafoons who don't know their jets. Is this what you are trying to imply? Your PAF has a history of cowardice and making false claims. Starting from that Alam guy.

Yes, this is what you did. The transcript of radio concersation is available with IAF in which your force commander is asking your jets to vacate the area asap.

I give you credit for balakot.what else can you expect from your enemy? Our air Force is not coward.i mean come on vstol,I was humiliated on PDF because I trusted you.you said akhnoor under indian control.you said no awacs on 27.you said 600 Pak army dead on 28 night.sir my own countrymen make fun of me just because of you.
