Eighty terrorists are killed in the past week following the third anniversary of the 27th February incident. And now, this time, they sent in a nuclear-capable missile in an apocalyptic gamble to test our Air Defense capabilities, military response, and the political & military will to confront India. DG ISPR did not claim to have been targeted, they are taking it as a test/trial launch gone awry.
In my opinion, a first-strike system coming 100 km into Pakistan represents a threat. No earlier than a week ago, the Indian Navy successfully test-fired an advanced version of the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile from a stealth destroyer in the Indian Ocean, BrahMos missile flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound.
This incident of a missile crash in Pakistan has created a lot of controversy with many opinions on the subject. After detailed research, this is what I have found out.
- It was a supersonic cruise missile, not a fighter jet or UAV.
- The Air Defense operation center of PAF tracked & monitored the missile from start within the Indian airspace.
- PAF initiated tactical and technical actions as per SOPs.
Now let’s start from the launch pad. It was launched from Sirsa district western region of Haryana, India. Interestingly from an Indian Air Force base under Western Air Command. Sirsa Air force base is one of the most critical forward bases. It is home to 15 Squadron of IAF with IAF Su-30MKI at the base.
