Pakistan’s four F-16s detected close to Punjab border, IAF’s Sukhoi, Mirage pushed them back: Report

[Viny]

They are claiming it was a UAV and F-16 package.
Damn, how slow in combat configuration can the F-16 fly.

UAV was prey, which was moved forward while F-16 was waiting for the hunt

Pakistan’s four F-16s detected close to Punjab border, IAF’s Sukhoi, Mirage pushed them back: Reports
This incident came days after the Indian Army on March 8 shot down an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), also known as drone, in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar sector around 7.30 pm.

Pakistan’s four F-16s detected close to Punjab border, IAF’s Sukhoi, Mirage pushed them back: Reports

The Indian Air Force's Sukhoi-30MKIs and Mirage jets pushed backed a large-sized UAV and a package of four Pakistani F-16 jets flying close to the Indian border in Khemkaran sector in Punjab at 3 am on Monday. After the Indian response, the Pakistani jets retreated further into their territory, according to news agency ANI.

This incident came days after the Indian Army on March 8 shot down an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), also known as drone, in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar sector around 7.30 pm. This was the fourth time Pakistani drone destroyed by India along the IB since February 26 air strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror camp in Balakot inside Pakistani territory.

Few days earlier, a Pakistani drone was detected by a ground-based radar station in Rajasthan's Bikaner and minutes later one of the Sukhoi-30 jets deployed in the area to keep an eye on Indian air space shot it down. The Pakistani military drone was targeted at around 11:30 am in Bikaner-Nal sector in Rajasthan.

It was the second unsuccessful attempt by Pakistan to send a spy drone inside India in the last six days. On February 27, a day after the air strike, a Pakistani drone was shot down by India along the Indo-Pak border in Kutch district of Gujarat. The Indian Air Force has kept all its bases in the Western sector on maximum alert after the Balakot strike.

The Indian Air Force carried out pre-dawn airstrikes on February 26 and destroyed major launch pads of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed, which was behind the February 14 Pulwama terror attack. Several reports claimed that the ‘Surgical Strike 2.0’ decimated Jaish's Alpha 3 Control Rooms located in Balakot, Muzaffarabad and Chakothi in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

More than 10 bombs were dropped by the multi-role fighter jet Mirage 2000 at around 3:30 am on February 26 morning. Understandably, Pakistan has downplayed the airstrike. The aerial attack came a day after Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman held a high-level meeting with all three service chiefs.

Following the strike, the Pakistani Air Force also entered the Indian air space and dropped bombs on military establishment in Kashmir. However, IAF planes scrambled the Pakistani jets and destroyed one of them. In the intense aerial battle, an Indian jet was also downed by Pakistani fighter planes.

Meanwhile, on Monday, the Pakistan Army rejected that Indian claims that a Pakistani F-16 was shot down in an air battle on February 27.

“Reference repeated Indian claims about shooting down of Pakistani F-16 by India and use of F16 in air battle on 27 February. The event of 27 Feb is part of history now. No Pakistani F16 was hit by Indian airforce,” said the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

ISPR added that Pakistan Air Force (PAF) strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) were carried out by JF-17 from within Pakistan airspace.

“Later when 2 Indian jets crossed LOC they were shot down by PAF. Whether it was F16 or JF17 which shot down 2 Indian aircrafts is immaterial,” added the statement.

“Even if F-16 have been used as at that point in time complete PAF was airborne including F16s, the fact remains that Pakistan Airforce shot down two Indian jets in self-defence. India can assume any type of their choice even F-16."

[Rafi]

Watch your back lungees Pakistanis are coming

what was hanger queen teja doing during all this engagement?

Doing her makeup, and repeating over and over again, "the Thunder is NOT prettier than me."

 

[NA71]

Guys I mentioned this morning ...these are all calculated moves through media...If you ask PAF they would surely deny this incident. Actually any Pakistan AC flying near LOC/Border may become their prime attempt. In any cost they have to level the score. before election.

Today's press release has also severed as "Jalti par tael/fuel on fire"

 

[Darth Vader]

yes we are and we will keep ranting F-16 and every future deal with USA sir . what you think if paf not buy f-16 then they will not have any 4th gen fighter ? sure they have baought some othe rplatform . BTW its time to cry for AH-1Z now .

Indeed Pakistan should Cry as it wasnt a free Lunch.
Regards to F16, MULED F 16 is still a really capable Plane,
Only Thunder comes close or exceed that capabilities in that price range.
If Pakistan had gone for any-other Jet things would have been much more complicated.
Western Countries didn't wanted to sell their jets to Pakistan at that time & J10 was new platform.
With 2 Main Platforms Pakistan could get more F16s Which they did and Phase out outdated jet with one platform which PAF is doing now.
As Large number of jets Currently in Pakistani inventory are Chinese, With EU & US jets it would have been jumping same boat as india.

 

[Viny]

I am sure ACM mujahid personally emailed you all the operational details
or are you in contact with ACM BS

NAH with PDF experience one can build any conspiracy theory in seconds
See like you did in the post :p

 

[atya]

They have kept the LOC heated today and this news suggests that they plan something in the next few days. They are just preparing their public

please wide your sight . f-16 story started in 1982 and since then we have so many option . do you mean the countries whom did not have f-16 they are unable to defend themselves ? there are always ways if someone try to find out . world did not start and end at US defense products .

F-16 flying with wing long UAVs. Aby sithya gay hain kia yeh saly indians??? PAF trying to push a SPY drone into indian space with the help of F-16s..

 

[Windjammer]

UAV was prey, which was moved forward while F-16 was waiting for the hunt

Actually the only prey seems to be the Indian public, amongst all the version put out by New Delhi, one is that on detecting the UAV, India scrambled it's SU-30s and in response to that PAF scrambled it's own F-16s.
Next will be the IAF challenged the UAV but it turned back.
