I remember back in 2019 we were told that reason why in Op Swift retort we did not shoot down more than 1 fighter jets, and we change directions of our H4 bombs because IAF balakot strikes weren't effective, we lost no human only trees and a crow which is fair reaction from Pakistan, we return the pilot as any respectable adversary will do and by in large People accepted the response from Pakistan to 2019 strikes but in may situation was a lot different.
we were told they are going to hit us, war mongering was at its peak, we can see their military making a move, CAP's in air etc. But I agree we can not shoot their jets when they are in their own territory unless they release their loads, they did and turn around and we hit them back the same night. I don't think none of us have a issue with PAF performance, the problem here which many members are not happy that we took few days to launch BuM, and when we did it was a kind of a Sus reaction, if you are taking days to prep for a military operation to avenge 40 civilians, and strikes in the heart of Pakistan, honestly I would expect a little bit more than just few F1 rockets and Arti fire.
IAF was flying drones over Lahore, Karachi and all of our Air bases were at their targets, yes we responded at 19 locations as per Indian DGMO's but again with no substantial damage to show to Indians, our own people and international media. We just PAF performance, and even than in most international media its restricted to only 3 fighters, I did not see CNN or BBC or any other major international media saying that we shot 7-8 jets and here is the evidence of it. While videos of Indian strikes of their intended targets are on internet. We heard we destroyed some Brig HQ which I thought we did in 2019 ? reports were coming non stop, we did this and that but all we saw was some F1 rockets fired, after that initial jazbaat Pakistani's at least the rational ones started to question the effectiveness of these strikes, and yes we are still at a point where IWT is suspended, and Indians can launch yet another strike if there is a terrorist attack in India. Of course we can not stop Indians from acting crazy but at least we could've blasted their military bases and do significant damage that will take years to repair and rebuild strategy, but given how much Indians itching for war and they have resources at their disposal I believe next engagement is not far away.
Also, can anyone tell Army without getting picked up by a Vigo that for FUQ sake stop with this respond at our time of choosing BS? I mean the night Indian jets launch their CM, next morning we should have blasted them with our own F-Rockets, ALCM, Baburs and other drones but we waited for days that give Indians time to regroup, the night of air battle after the hour long skirmish Indian forces were disoriented and their morale was at all time low as they were hearing news about one downed jet after another, that was the perfect time to hit them hard before they get their nerves back, and yet we decided to wait couple of days, for all intent and purposes I could believe that we delay the military operation before we didn't have those banners we put on Fateh launchers with kids name who died in Indians strikes and we wanted to do some theatrics, yaar that was really embarrassing. No Nuclear Armed country would let a neighbor kill its 40 civilians with women/children, and wait for few days to launch retaliatory strikes and that too very sus.
In future conflict, if PAF perform bad than Allah hi Hafiz hai Pakistan ka, we will take significant beatings and then goes back to usual so called...
