Ex-PAF Officer Accepts India Destroyed AWACS Plane with BrahMos Missiles During Op Sindoor
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has been known for its bravery and valor, but even the bravest of warriors know how to admit defeat. Recently, a retired PAF Air Marshal, Masood Akhtar, made a shocking revelation that has sent shockwaves across the border. According to Akhtar, a PAF surveillance plane, AWACS, was destroyed by India during Operation Sindoor.
For those who may not be familiar, Operation Sindoor was a military operation carried out by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 2019, aimed at destroying a terrorist training camp in Pakistan’s Balakot region. The operation was a significant escalation of tensions between the two countries, and the aftermath saw a series of retaliatory attacks by both sides.
In a recent interview, Air Marshal Akhtar revealed that the PAF had suffered a significant loss during Operation Sindoor. “India fired four BrahMos missiles at Bholari airbase…one of which directly hit one of our hangars where an AWACS plane was parked,” Akhtar said. The plane was damaged, and soldiers were also killed in the attack.
The revelation is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of war. The BrahMos missile, a supersonic cruise missile developed by India and Russia, is known for its precision and destructive power. Its ability to destroy even the most hardened targets has made it a formidable weapon in the hands of the IAF.
The loss of the AWACS plane is a significant blow to the PAF, as it was a crucial asset in their surveillance capabilities. The plane’s destruction has left a gaping hole in the PAF’s ability to gather intelligence and conduct operations.
Air Marshal Akhtar’s revelation has sparked a heated debate in Pakistan, with many calling for the government to take a stronger stance against India. The Pakistani military has been known for its bravery and determination, and it is likely that the government will respond to the provocation with a show of force.
However, the PAF’s loss is not just a military setback, but also a psychological blow to the nation. The destruction of the AWACS plane is a stark reminder of the reality of war and the devastating consequences it can bring.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the PAF will not take this lying down. The Pakistani military has a reputation for its bravery and determination, and it is likely that they will respond to the provocation with a show of force.
In the meantime, the people of Pakistan are left to wonder what the future holds. Will the government take a stronger stance against India, or will they opt for a diplomatic solution? Only time will tell.
As the world watches with bated breath, one thing is clear: the situation between India and Pakistan is volatile and unpredictable. The loss of the AWACS plane is a significant blow to the PAF, and it is likely that the situation will escalate further in the coming days.
