Subject: *IAF Aircraft Shot Down Near Bahawalpur Airspace Violation*

Today at approximately *0040 Hrs*, Pakistan Air Defence units successfully engaged and shot down an Indian Air Force (IAF) Rafale fighter jet after it violated Pakistani airspace near the Bahawalpur region.

The aircraft was detected on radar entering Pakistani territory in a highly provocative and unprovoked airspace breach. In accordance with established protocols and in defense of national sovereignty, the hostile aircraft was intercepted and neutralized.

Debris from the downed jet has been recovered inside Pakistani territory. Search and rescue operations are underway to determine the status of the pilot.

Pakistan remains committed to peace but retains the sovereign right to defend its airspace against any aggression. The deliberate violation by the IAF is a blatant act of hostility that shall be responded to appropriately on diplomatic and strategic fronts.

Further details will be shared as the situation develops.

I don’t think that’s all that is happening but at this point the NSC is taanging.

That all I will say is- PAF is doing it’s job - other units in PA are ready. But the response has to very measured.

I hope so.. but I have a feeling that the situation won't be escalated. Some visuals here and there and the mediation will start... accepted by both parties.

Now whether India accepts to release the hold on IWT is something I am not sure about.

No
Pakistan needs to be very careful
Nation needs to pull together - if they are really smart - they will see the benefit of just letting IK out on whatever bail or other pretext.

Let him make a statement regarding this crisis - and then hit back

Perfect opportunity for these guys to get out of this mess and have new beginnings

Pakistanis have for far too long been soft with the Hindutva aggression. Our pathetic 'mehmanawzi' has been taken granted of.
2 years ago these Hindutva fascists fired a missile into southern Panjab without Pakistan retaliating.
Be sure these Hindutva are worse than Zionists. They have deep hatred for Muslims and have never accepted Pakistan. The same disgusting group assassinated Gandhi himself!
Pakistan needs to send dead indian bodies back to the Ganga so Hindutva mothers will weep for the burnt charred bodies of their mumified sons. It will be a reality check for this neanderthal nation.
Life is not Bollywood. You attack and your pathetic offspring shall perish.

Air Defence can hit aircraft and many systems but its not an iron wall.
Indians did not do this without planning

The Brahmos the fell was also in Bahawalpur right? Maybe they had those Madrassas in target all along.

 

[Sal12]

Why IOK. This should be all over India.

It’s a snake eating its own tail

This news is spreading like wildfire now, with Badami shouting at the top of his lungs.

Also unbanning X, so people have more access to info

It’s very sloppy on the Pakistan side

It is extremely dangerous due to the political situation and climate. At this time it may actually be beneficial to keep X ban but open up for particular influencers.

Ary often exaggerates but if the war had started, it better be the starting point

 

[PakFactor]

It’s okay I think.

Let the damage assessment be complete, then we can now what level of escalation we should target.

ISPR and the politicians need to give a press conference and let the world wake up to the irresponsible aggression of India, with the promise of our retaliation.

Delaying a response suits us, the world should know that modi killed a child in Pakistan and that our response will be in justified anger.

Then when everyone is sufficiently focussed, we will slap them in full view, just like last time.

I partially agree with you, but on the other hand, there should have been something already on the table to respond immediately when you've been expecting an attack for a week and a half already.

 

[Pakistan First]

India is saying, they only precisely targeted "terrorist" sites, means empty buildings or some madrassas? India also said they did not targeted Pakistani military.
So basically, modi wanted a face saving strike so Pakistan won't strike back. But let's see. Pakistan will prevail and will give them repeat of 2019. IA

@RescueRanger @Oscar @Musings Please change my name to "Pakistan First". I tried from settings but couldn't.
