It’s good news that the IAF is retiring its Mig 21 fleet in phases. It has earned a grim nickname ‘Flying Coffin’ due to the high rate of accidents since it was inducted in 1963. They might as well because they haven’t a clue how to fly them properly. Over 200 pilots have been killed and over 400 accidents have taken place in the last 60 years. It is better to send them to Pakistan than to retire them so that our junior pilots can get shooting opportunities, it will also do India’s job.
- Full marks to Pakistan for exposing Indian lie which they carved for domestic consumption.
Abhinandan didn’t even fire a single missile, he shot down complete Pak Squadron in Bollywood movies though. Like he downed an F16 but somehow got captured, got slaps of honour from Pakisani citizens and was filmed having a cup of tea with the enemy airforce. What actually happened was him getting his radar jammed, not knowing where the heck he is, getting hit by a missile from BVR. No F-16 was downed lock H martin and your uncle sam confirmed it. His Mig bison was downed along with a SU.
The poor guy never said himself that he downed an F-16, the US did an inventory count and confirmed no F-16 missing from Pakistan’s inventory, the shot down Mig had all missiles attached, there is no eye witness or video camera footage which is a norm in all modern aircraft and the Modi media is adamant that Mr Moustache downed an F-16 by saying chhu mantar.
Many independent investigating resources have confirmed that an F16 was never downed rather Indian Army Chief was a locked target as a surprise just before the chase which led to the death of one Indian Pilot whose aircraft was also shot and Abhinandan’s plane was also hit!
Whereas many Indian Bhakts find it important keep the planes in working condition so that they can be used in war situation. To them, Mig21 is the only plane which shot down F16. How wrong facts are depicted not even a single F-16 was downed confirmed by the american manafacturing and monitoring company and they are saying they downed. What a hypocrisy.
On the other hand! Pakistan Air Force bewares Enemy!
Pakistan Air Force, the pride force of Pakistani nation, is always ready for war time deployments, extensive high tempo missions, landing at highways, day and night operations along with high altitude combat missions in the northern areas.
Indeginous JF-17 Thunder (Pakistan’s own manufactured, joint SINO project) has full ‘air-to-air’ and ‘air-to-ground’ capabilities. This would explain the cordoning off of a lengthy stretch of Lahore-Islamabad Motorway. All the obstacles between the roads are removed from Peshawar till Lahore. Plus flight cancellations are made to Northern areas. PANA force’s ready to reply.
Critically Evaluating PAF Capabilities:
There are concerns regarding fleet of Pakistan Air Force turning obsolete. PAF needs to retire around 10 squadrons of its Mirages and F-7s till 2020 to keep pace with its development goals. The air force officials have gone on record raising their concerns about our eroding capability. In current state our Air Force cannot sustain operations for more than three weeks.
