The jets were similar to what India is buying. IAF wants to know what kind of training Pakistani pilots or engineers on secondment to Qatar received. French ambassador says fake news.
Air Vice Marshal R.G.K. Kapoor, at a media briefing, showed radar images to assert that an F-16 of the Pakistan Air Force was shot down by the Indian Air Force on 27 February.
ISPR is leading Pakistan’s hybrid war of denial since the day PAF lost its most advanced platform to a gritty IAF counterattack. But the evidence is right in front of us to sift, writes former IAF Mirage pilot and air warfare writer Sameer Joshi.
Pakistan had said it purchased 12 F-16As and 1 F-16B from Jordan, but in a 2014 image released by its military’s publicity wing ISPR, 2 F-16Bs can be seen.
With two hostile neighbours in the immediate vicinity and one in the greater region, it is imperative that New Delhi forge alliances that can offer some stability.
Recommendations appear in Niti Aayog’s Tax Policy Working Paper Series–II. It says there is a need to shift away from fear-based enforcement to trust-based governance.
In service with the British military since 2019, it is also known as the Martlet missile. Ukrainians have also deployed these missiles against Russian troops.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.

Quite thought-provoking, eye-opening and sounding a note of caution write-up based on sound and rich
experience -expertise in the realm of defence strategies and preparedness !
Mr. Brahma Chellaney has dwelt at length the whole saga of Indian Air Force February 26 air strikes at
Balakot following February,14 Pulwama Terror Bomb Attack !
He has very deeply, thoroughly and objectively analysed the sequence of events originating from February,
14 Pulwama Terror Bomb Attack and their far reaching ramifications in the perspective !
The article reflects that Aerial Strikes at Balakot after proving to be a game changer initially , frittered away
an opportunity to uphold and keep up deterrent’s credibility and initial upper hand !
The glory attained by the valiant Air Force Pilots was sacrificed at the altar of hollow” political vested interests”
and “cheap populism ” ! Prime Minister Modi could not wait even for a single day rushing to Churu in Rajasthan
on February , 26 forenoon to milk political mileage out of the aerial strikes !
What an example of strong political will and nationalism ? The Pakistan Air Force counter aerial strikes followed
that too in broadday light settling the scores instantly !
Some soul- searching questions still crop up in the best national interests ?
The nation’s polity is maintaining a close-guarded secret as well silence on the crux of the menace of Terrorism :
” Who is liable and accountable for gross negligence and dereliction of duty for February, 14 Pulwama Terror Bomb
Attack ? Even after more than two months of the attack resulting in sacrifices of brave 44 CRPF Security Persons
ironically , no clue whatsoever, how one suicide bomber alone succeeded in achieving his target upto the mark
uninterrupted, unchecked very successfully ?
Chowkidars were in deep slumber, not agile and alert allowing an individual a free and safe passage to hit his target
alone driving a vehicle carrying explosives, it bears testimony to the fact !
Deterrence angle is still under the cloud because terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir have not yet come to a
standstill ! After an eyewash, Pakistan does not at all seem to be keen, clean and serious to clear the terror act camps
from its soil ! Has the spectre of transborder terrorism vanished once for all from the Kashmir valley ?
Modi is just dramatising, playing up the “national security” and “nationalism” sentiments only to win Lok Sabha
Polls ! For petty and sinister political designs, NaMo and BJP are playing havoc with national security to win polls !
Analyst/strategists like you are the reason for a dead horse ie Indian Armed Forces. Only one Pak submarine serviceable (bloody joke), economically vulnerable Pakistan ( whose side you really are?) blah blah. Pakistan has never taken its enemy easy. Therefore it has always shown more resolve. A bloody Air Force of 700+ aircraft against 350 odd fighters with post Pulwama baggage can only be termed as an unprofessional horde and burden on a nation of 1.4 billion. Painting Pakistan as vulnerable is like doing disservice to Indian Armed Forces who tend to further relax. Miscalculation or misjudgment regarding Pak response to any future aggression would most likely strip India of any regional status which it is trying desperately to acquire courtesy USA.

Capture of Abhinandan, restricted our full scale response. The next 2 days, focus was on his retrieval rather than punitive action against Pak misadventure.
However, given the bad financial status of Pak, India should continue to keep up the pressure by artillery and aggressive combat fighter manouvers to bleed Pakistan daily in trying to defend against these onslaughts.
If our fighters go unchallenged they should attack military installations on the other side to send the message.
What part of word “Stand Off” weapons you are unable to comprehend?? IAF fighter planes shot their spice missiles from a distance of 100 kms. So no free hall pass any time soon in the future even with rafaele. If u will strike our military installations we will strike back with 3 times more force. So kindly analyse higher end spectrum of escalation ladder when missiles will be running havoc in delhi, Vishakhapatnam, Madras, Port Blair, Banglore, Raipur, Patna, Gandhi nagar, Mumbai etc. At least wait for S-400 before seeing such dreams, it might be able to shoot down 25% of hundreds of missiles flying towards those cities.
As far as we pakistanis are concerned u already know for the last 50 years that we are on the brink of failure, economic collapse, terrorism hell etc etc. So like every body else we dont care that much about ourselves. 😉
