Balakot Strikes Missed, Targeting Error Possible Cause: Australian Report

 

Quote

 

Amid India’s claims and Pakistan’s counter-claims on the efficacy and potency of the air strikes conducted by the Indian Air Force in PoK’s Balakot, a new report based on high-resolution satellite imagery claims that the intended targets – JeM terror camps – were not ‘visibly damaged’.

The report, by Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), claims that publicly available satellite imagery acquired by European Space Imaging the day after the strike suggests that buildings at the camp were not “visibly damaged or destroyed”.

The imagery (of a higher resolution than previously available) shows conspicuously undamaged roofs, says the report, which runs counter to Indian claims of “successfully destroying the intended targets”.

 

The report also claims that the damage (or lack thereof) is not “consistent with either a SPICE 2000 strike or a strike with other munitions”.

“We believe that even a weapon with reduced explosive fill would cause damage to buildings that would be identifiable in the satellite imagery,” the authors of the report claim.

Did India Shoot Down a Pakistani Jet? U.S. Count Says No.

New Delhi and Islamabad had conflicting accounts of a February dogfight.

India’s claim that one of its fighter pilots shot down a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet in an aerial battle between the two nuclear powers in February appears to be wrong. Two senior U.S. defense officials with direct knowledge of the situation told Foreign Policy that U.S. personnel recently counted Islamabad’s F-16s and found none missing.

 

The findings directly contradict the account of Indian Air Force officials, who said that Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman managed to shoot down a Pakistani F-16 before his own plane was downed by a Pakistani missile.

 

It is possible that in the heat of combat, Varthaman, flying a vintage MiG-21 Bison, got a lock on the Pakistani F-16, fired, and genuinely believed he scored a hit. But the count, conducted by U.S. authorities on the ground in Pakistan, sheds doubt on New Delhi’s version of events, suggesting that Indian authorities may have misled the international community about what happened that day.

 

The news comes just days before the start of India’s general elections, in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking another term in office. In the weeks leading up to the election, tensions between India and Pakistan escalated to levels not seen in decades after a Pakistan-based militant group killed more than 40 Indian security officers in a Feb. 14 suicide bombing in India-controlled Kashmir. Both sides have been accused of spreading disinformation and fanning nationalistic flames.

 

Although the news likely won’t sway Indian voters, Vipin Narang, an associate professor of political science at MIT, said the way the events have unfolded may affect India’s efforts to deter Pakistan in the future.

 

“As details come out, it looks worse and worse for the Indians,” Narang said. “It looks increasingly like India failed to impose significant costs on Pakistan, but lost a plane and a helicopter of its own in the process.”

 

The dogfight between the two nations occurred on Feb. 27, when India says a group of Pakistani jets entered its airspace in response to the first Indian air raid on Pakistani territory since a 1971 war. India scrambled its own jets and gave chase. During the aerial battle that ensued, Varthaman took a missile hit and ejected safely into Pakistani territory.

 

He was captured by the Pakistani army and released days later in an effort to de-escalate the crisis.

 

One of the senior U.S. defense officials with direct knowledge of the count said that Pakistan invited the United States to physically count its F-16 planes after the incident as part of an end-user agreement signed when the foreign military sale was finalized. Generally in such agreements, the United States requires the receiving country to allow U.S. officials to inspect the equipment regularly to ensure it is accounted for and protected.

 

Some of the aircraft were not immediately available for inspection due to the conflict, so it took U.S. personnel several weeks to account for all of the jets, the official said.

But now the count has been completed, and “all aircraft were present and accounted for,” the official said.

There's an obvious conflict of interest from the F-16 owner here.

As if US will ever admit a 50s era Soviet junk piece brought down the F-16? We shouldn't care what others say, this is a fight where we are alone, stop seeking validation and trust the forces.

I'm not sure there is something for US or Lockheed Martin to be embarrassed about if an F-16 or even an F-22 is on the run and has an ancient aircraft on it's six. There is a very high probability of the American aircraft being shot down, one can only dodge so many cannon shells & missiles.

Exactly, US will bot confirm it officially because they dont want to embarrass themselves and put question marks against their Fighter technology which may hamper their deal with Tata or India worth billions.

They cant deny it officially, because there is enough evidence to catch them pants down and embarras them again.

Everyone is by themselves  even America started taking 26/11 seriously when their people were the victims too. Israel took 26/11 seriously too even though the victims were Indian Jews and not Israeli Jews, sab apna hi dekhte Hain, yeh sachhai hai.

Foreign journalists (finally ) given access to balakot strike area.

So finally, the recovery and rebuilding process has been finished. Took 45 days , but still job well done. Everything is in place now. 

 

And when someone asked their minor  why it took them so long to show this, he replied that everything was happening so quickly lol. It's been over a month that the situation has completely cooled off barring a few minor skirmishes.

Guess who all stayed out of this thread?

 

Next time the libtard chumps lecture about nationalism or some liberal crap they pull out of their behinds, it will be good to remember that an event of such great significance for India, something that made us all proud had no effect on them. Pick any random aam aadmi on the streets and you would have got some emotion from him/her post these air-strikes. But the problem is Ravish/Kamra ass lickers have no attachment to our armed forces, they will ignore all the good and then pounce on them whilst speaking Pak's language when our boys have it rough.

 

Despicable scumbags. Nothing wrong with being a hardline RWer or bhakt, but a person who has no attachment to our bravehearts doesn't deserve any attention. No excuse can save their sorry behinds, at a time when the nation was more or less united these creatures chose to stay away. Love for army unnerves them, patriotism unnerves them, patriotic slogans make them run for cover...*ing scoundrels and * their twisted idea/soul of India bhashans.

So true ,these so called liberandus, sickulars blinded by Modi hatred have fallen so low that they dont have any emotions/sympathy towards their own army men .

These guys are the first one to run into a debate discussing Indian army's rape accusation but nowhere to be seen in debates/forums discussing their loss of lives. 

Maybe talking anti hindu and all looks cool for them but dont stoop so low as to accuse the army 

[ShankarShailendra]

Wasn't Shah Mehmood Qureshi chest thumping in front of the media citing his intelligence sources that India is planning to attack Pak by mid-April? What happened to that? 3 phase of polling still left, so chances of strike again before final counting of 23rd May .
