NEW DELHI: Investigators have found that an Indian air defence missile was fired shortly before the crash of a Mi17 V5 helicopter at Budgam, near Srinagar on February 27, which resulted in the deaths of six air force personnel and a citizen on ground. The investigators are examining the sequence of events which preceded the crash.

Pakistan deployed electronic warfare jammer planes called "Blinders" during their bombing run due to which Indian defenses and jets could not get a lock on our planes and they were able to bomb at three spots. Perhaps due to the jamming the Indian SAM site thought that the helicopter was a Pakistan jet and shot it down.
 
If our pilots were cartoon characters, they would be Wile E. Coyote from Road Runner.
 
If the report is true thn Modi sarkar will have to face the music in elections...
 
This is humilation of the highest order. You give them the F-22 and IAF would end up crashing it as well. What a joke of an airforce. Feel bad for the pilots who lost their lives in the heli.

Seems you have forgotten the humiliation our air force gave you in the movie Border in the climax scene. :)))

There was a loss of life of some brave soldiers doing the bidding for political masters - that is the sad part.
 
How can this news be turn into an accomplishment for Modi and BJP?

The blinders were not responsible for this as this took place more than 100Km from the action area. It was a combination of pure panic, faulty weapon systems and height of incompetency.

These news is already being buried by the indians themselves out of embarrassment. You will not see the likes of [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] on this thread.

When PAF swarmed the LOC, IAF was in panic and this is the result of this all. Killing their own 7 men. Losing one jet (two allegedly) and getting nothing in return with PAF throwing bombs near their Brigade HQ.

Its not funny. These people put their lives on the line. Criticize the leadership but not these people

The reality of this government, beyond the incompetence of demonetization etc is this:
1 - the size of their trade with China is 7 to 8 time more than China-Pakistan: in both cases its China has a huge surplus: yet despite this, they are unable to keep China in their corner.
2 - their strategic planners are truly small people - the western world is dying to get in to their markets (to then extent that they have whitewashed the fascist PM's past record in Gujrat from a dodgy court judgment) - but they use this influence to beg for a favor to ban one nobody in Pakistan.
3 - they had a massive security lapse which allowed a local Indian to bomb bus in Kashmir: they should be discussing how he managed to access the explosive material from a construction site and cause this carnage.
4 - The entire balakot episode and subsequent Pakistan response is a disaster: keep in mind Pakistan is a dysfunctional nearly bankrupt country.
I mean, any half decent opposition should really go to town on BJP's recent and past record. Instead their Bilawal Gandhi is dreaming that he can defeat BJP on his own rather than making tactical electoral alliances.

PAF was running merry on that day. Three bomb sites were hit and one of them was very close to where the Indian Air chief was located.


Epic phainti if there is one.


PAF entered into India completed its mission and even scored a couple of kills. Too easy.
 
Must credit some parts of the Indian press for doing some serious introspection rather than stenography. They are doing this partly because you can see only hide the truth so long and partly because this will create the impetus for rapid modernization. Pakistan won this battle, but it should think about the future. India armed forces will learn these lessons and make adjustments. More importantly they will have the planes next time. Till then we can only hope that the truly small people that run India attempt another adventure before the Rafales have had enough flying and training time.

Yes.

By the way, today one more MIG has crashed in Jodhpur.

How is this happening? 11 planes have fallen in total now since the air skirmish. Thats millions of dollars gone down the drain.This cant be a coincidence and neither can it be technical flaws. Indians are probably crashing them deliberately for some reasons.
