For me US has vested interest in hiding/sweeping under carpet the truth.
A) Bad name
B) Bad sales
C) Russia factor
D) India 100+ planes future contract in compromised situation
E) Trump still hopeful to shift, F-16 to India & capture Indian market, and slowly build unavoidable dependency, often at expense of domestic programs.

We should wait for
memoirs to bare it all in due time only, as that will only tell the real story.

At same time

if US continues on path of sweep under table due to vested interest, be made clear, that F16 or rebranded F21 will suffer permanently in its consequence.
We don't need to be defensive and quote "bad intentions" as reason, it's flimsy excuse more so when videos are available proving our claims, however we should not commit ourselves into more than what videos and other evidences say.

Why do we always limit ourselves to POK, Isn't Gilgit Baltistan part of India J&K too?
Having said that - looking at the melting freezing tops of Saltoro Kangri a la Kargil, would make life living hell for napak forces, but then isn't a

coldwave already streaming through it for some time. Winter is here & someone will burn in hell!!

Fantasies or realities who knows & I don't want confirmation either, till fog of war clears, at a time & choosing of ours

As far as India is concerned, PoJK includes Gilgit Baltistan. Pakistan making it a state does not change its status. So when I say PoJK it includes the Gilgit Baltistan area, not just the part the Pakistanis claim run by a separate government.

I would not expect any difference in attitude from what NASA chief had claimed about our ASAT test. As for the F-21, that was shot down way back in Feb 27nth.
 
Few points, no corrections, and not addressed to anyone.

1. Posting tweet where #Kabotar informed Indian Army about attacks on religious places ..... was what was indicated. Is that information anything new or earth shattering or a previously unknown update? #kabootar also tells everyday on LC updates about X no of terrorists at Points 1, 2, 3 ...... in daily Int inputs to forces.

2. Metamorphosis into Baba Tweets is precisely indicative of what I had said - read, understand, then join the dots and dismiss the nonsense. Go through the direction of posts made after my post - the change in the 'reading frame' is apparent. Even I agreed that Baba seems to be right quite often and gives accurate information most of the times. Where the handle goes wrong a bit, correction comes in.

3. As for speculation of my being 'fed "cleared"' information from services - I doubt they know who I am. My information, like I have always maintained, is a result of own experience/training/formal education/formally having dealt with issues concerned. I don't comment on things otherwise.

4. I don't need to pick up a phone/use email to check up things. Heck, I would have been picked up otherwise for questioning long back.

5. 'Pay scale' is not necessarily the criterion for security clearances/access to information/analyzing information. There is a difference in being able to tell that we have Agni 5 in Strategic Forces in sufficient numbers as opposed to telling that Point A has 3 silos with 3 TELs at point A1 and X amount are at Points B, C, F, G, R. And they shall be drployed st Points C1xray, C2xray, f2gamma etc. My 'Pay Scale' allowed me to say no war, economy will be beaten. I may be wrong snd we may actually be fighting a war right now and all these measures are merely charades to hide nuclear war going on already. (It is in minds of people and social media fantasy). 🤣

6. Killing of 5 here or 2 there is irrelevant. What matters is the achievement of the Strategic Objective and your intent and strategy at it. If killing 5 here or 2 there was victory indeed, war would have been won by Germany and not USSR.

7. Chief made a very categorical statement on F-16 shootdown. That takes all consideration and analysis from everyone in the forces to lie in. I think that should be enough indication about it.

The payscale episode brought to my mind an anecdote, I think I should share.

I used to frequent a club once upon a time, where the manager - a Mr .Yadav was the epitome of what a person in hospitality ought to be - affable, calm, courteous, suave and polished. His superior, a Mr Tiwari was the complete opposite of this Mr Yadav. He used to be grumpy, surly, discourteous, prone to temper tantrums, snappy, rude, quick to pick up fights, etc.

A wag - a drinking partner, also from UP brought up the tale of Parshuram's birth under unusual circumstances to explain this behavior against type. In all my experience, I confess never to have come across such behavior against type except for those two individuals in that club.

Till I stumbled upon Older Forum & SF.....

Glad you popped in. :giggle:

To those pulling their sleeves to bash the US. I will post something I read on DFI posted by the well respect @Immanuel. I don't want to rehash it as my own.


Folks India and US are militarily a lot closer than perhaps it appears or than one understands. Political disagreements are perfectly fine. We perhaps spend most time these days overall when it comes to Joint exercises for all services with the US.
The vast numbers of platforms with offensive abilities have been ordered and many more will come. Strategically we are already a lot closer than one thinks.
As for proof for the F-16 being killed, the US will come clean or will force Pukis to come clean. We have evidence from ground radar, IFF data, IRST signatures, OLS videos from MKI in clean high Def.
Any denial will be embarrassing if IAF/Govt. decide to release all proof, the F-16 story will come clean but don't expect liberal mainstream fake newsers to pay much air time and such info will relegated to the last pages buried in the news print by the BBCs, CNNs, NBCs, NYT, WP
and others.

If at all. By the way, we can expect earlier deliveries of the first batch of Apache https://defenceforumindia.com/forum/styles/brivium/cobalt/smilies/yo.gif, talks on for more. Options for 39 more will be exercised by 2020/21 if Modi back in power.
 
About your last point, could you explain a bit more?
Simple... Indian Airforce chief made a statement means he has gone thru cross checking datas from Awacs....Ground radars... Inputs from Abhi and his wing man...Ground inpute on visual.... He took a call after analysing all the above..... So when he says so... Let us believe it..... It is not a mosquito which can be hidden..... IAF chief will not risk his reputation

The F-16 was awarded as a kill officially to Wg. Cdr. Abhi 4-5 days after 27th. IAF went thru all available data, analysed it, got convinced and only after that officially gave this Kill to Wg. Cdr. Abhi. But more than him, imagine the great boost it is for No 51 Sqn, who will now get the privilage of showing an F-16 as a kill.

agree with everything you say but on point 7 - Foreign Policy is a fairly credible outlet. Unless we get a retraction from them soon this will be an albatross.
 

Come on GoI, go for it, it's a low full toss.

Also notice 2nd aircraft theory making a comeback as they still can't find the answer to 2nd pilot ;)
The article based on which this tweet has come out is based on an article by presstitutes probably hired and paid for by ISPR only. AND don't we all know how dismissive US print media is of Indian scientific achievements?

Check her tweets and retweets, She is very clearly biased. Not even trying to have a neutral face.

It doesn't matter sir, we don't need to be defensive at all since we claimed the kill, this is an opportunity, what better time than this to humiliate them publicly?

I would say take a CAP near LoC, try intruding let the interceptors come in and shoot 2 of them down over Pakistani airspace then claim it as equalizer for this "2 loss", a purely aggressive action. Later release the evidence of f16 via sources and make it 3 for 1 Mig21.

By claiming it officially again they are providing us the best cover to escalate again. They even tried to hit military installations in exchange for terrorists, that one is still pending. I would say go for it.
