UAV, Pak F-16s detected near Punjab, forced to retreat after IAF scrambles jets

[Sachin136]

Amidst simmering tension with India, a large Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and at least four F-16 jets of the Pakistani Air Force were detected by Indian radars flying close to Khemkaran in Punjab on Monday morning, sources said.

The Pakistani aircraft retreated after Indian Air Force scrambled its Sukhoi-30MKIs and Mirage 2000 fighter jets in response, sources added.

This comes over a month after a PAF F-16 was shot down by IAF's MiG-21 Bison piloted by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was later taken into custody by Pakistan after he crossed over during the mid-air dogfight.

Several Pakistani drones trying to intrude into the Indian territory have been shot down by Indian Air Defence Systems after that incident.

Anything coming out of Indian news media can't be trusted.

Repeat a lie enough times and it might start looking like the truth

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] u nailed it bro, but seriously it's not even funny anymore, this is beyond insanity now.

'After he crossed over', they have a phobia of mentioning 'shot down'

They still name Wing commander Abhi Who will be laughing over this I am sure,

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Ok.

The f 16 saga has become an nightmare for the indians just imagine when we actually use them.

 

[sshakir411]

Still no remains of that f16 that was shot down. Indians have developed a new weapon that completely evaporates its target in to air.

Modi chokidar is trying too hard to get deal done for rafale .

 

[reversehook]

I think these almost daily basis fighter jet crashes out of India is to kinda hint/say look our planes are old/faulty/too risky/far behind PAF's jets and lets go ahead get the Rafaalay (as modi puts it) to put us ahead... for them its a much needed move, however, for modi its his kick backs he is more interested in... and still at the end of the day even with the rafaalay's they cant match the skills and jiggars/jurrat/jazba/junoon of our paf personnel... thats where they lost this last skirmish and this is where they will continue to lose...

what they dont know, we already had many exercises with Rafales ...

what they dont know, we already had many exercises with Rafales ...

the Rapha's will make no difference. They have over 250 SU-30 MKI's and are now terrified of losing any more. The maintainability is less than 50% and they are very hard to maintain. Also it seems as if their much vaunted isreali systems failed since they couldnt shoot down a single PAF aircraft. So much for the best aircraft in the sub continent.

its all on paper. They brag on internet forums and the like. They have convinced their western allies that they are supermen but in 9 hours we simply shattered that myth and they are scrambling to find something to help them out of their depression. The US is now going to simply double down and take a more direct approach when it comes to propping up the Indians. Expect lots more US tech being transferred and more training for their pilots. Until they come again which wont be too long into the future.

Third paragraph destroyed all legitimacy of this article.

Bechara innocent F-16 from the 27th who is still roaming the skies for us still haunting Indians when there's so many other issues at hand.

The OP is becoming notorious for posting either fake news, an example was the phantom 10 soldiers killed, or for posting exaggerated nonsense.

Happy April Fool everyone

Are Indians still doing this, Supa powa can't take the embarrassment.

 

[PakLFC]

When India says one thing then take the exact opposite as being the truth. Never trust the champions of fake news.
