There are even simpler counter to this whole argument of un-used missile. The length and the width.
The motor you are pointing too ,if that is indeed r-73 is the intact r-73 on the left.
Please do explain how why the entire warhead section of the right R-73 is missing?We all know where that went.
Its very easy for PAF to embarass IAF here,just call an international observer and line up f-16s with serial number as it once did with mirages.
First you said no f-16s used,then after AMRAAM proof forced to concede 'all aircraft airborne' lol.
First you said 2 planes shot down,2 pilots in custody.Then lol.2nd pilot disappeared.Poof.Is he still in hospital?
You keep saying only trees destroyed in balakot,except spice wouldnt make craters-rather mounds of dirt and if a 2k pd bomb dropped,the explosion would burn all the nearby vegetation to crisp.Most of all,if nothing happened why have you cordoned off the area for over a month.Easiest way to humiliate india is let international reporters through and let them inspect the building.What have you to hide if no damage was done?
This is the army that doesnt accept its own dead as we saw in kargil.We buried your dead,despite the many soldiers of ours they killed because for us enmity ends in death.10 years after kargil you accepted bodies.
This is the army that doesnt disclose its casualities to its own senate.
And we are still waiting for shahbaz haider to return to pakistan from exercises.Good joke.Airspace is closed,all jets are on emergency duty and pilot is exercising in usa for over a month?Who are you fooling?
Chacha gafoor can keep his propaganda for domestic consumption.No one is fooled here about his antics.
R-73 is 165 mm wide and R-77 is 200 mm wide. R-73 is 2.93 meter long and R-77 is 3.6 meter long. This physical difference is so stark that it is visible even from a longer distance. Here :
See those?
The outer most missiles are R73s... Inner two are R-77s.
See the difference between their widths? Lengths? And these are distant shots. Closeby the difference will be even more stark.
Now look at the image posted from Pakistan.
These guys either forged the missiles poorly or confused between R-73 and R-77 sections.
Here another upclose shot... The difference between width and length of missiles is too big to miss.
