Indian Fighter Jets Violate Pakistani Air space

Indian government continues with its aggression and news just in is that fighter planes of the Indian air force violated Pakistani airspace in Lahore and Kashmir.
The ever-ready Pakistan Air Force swung into action and forced the Indian Jets out.
We are proud of our defense forces! I will keep you updated on this here.
Long Live Pakistan.
Update (12:40 AM): Indian Fighter Jets were fully equipped with ammunition and explosives.
Update (12:46 AM): Indian jets traveled as far as 4 km’s into Pakistani air space. PAF spokesperson confirms they were equipped with ammunition.
This raises serious questions on the intentions of the Indian government. Thankfully, the Pakistan Air Force was already on high alert and reacted immediately to the violation and forced the jets out.
I would like to know how many jets entered Pakistani air space and what their target(s) were.
Update (01:02 AM) – The COWARDLY PPP GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON, SHERRY REHMAN:
Sherry Rehman, Information Minister for the PPP government in Islamabad has said that the Pakistani government has contacted the Indian government over the issue.
She further said the Indian administration clarified that the incursions were ‘inadvertent’ (read: unintentional).
Now given that the incursions took place in broad daylight (around mid-day), an un-intentional incursion in the day is next to impossible. Senior analysts and retired air force officials believe so too.
Plus, it is impossible that an “inadvertent” incursion occurred at not one, but TWO sectors (Lahore and Azad Kashmir) SIMULTANEOUSLY. That too full of ammunition?!
My question: What does this PPP government want to do? What are their intentions? How far can they go to humiliate the Pakistani nation for the sake of saving their own government?
Update (01:25 AM): Nawaz Sharif condemns Indian Violation in very strong terms
Update (01:28 AM): Indian media tries to make another absurd shift, after the Indian government has told the PPP government in Islamabad that the incursion was “inadvertent”, Indian media claims that the Indian Air Force has rejected any incursion into Pakistani air space.
Update (01:38 AM): VIDEO
Air Vice Marshal (Retd.) Abid Rao Rejects Indian Claim that Incursion was “inadvertent”. My apologies about the video quality, this is the quickest I could process things. Its more of something to listen to rather than watch. Apologies about the video quality again.
Update (02:17 AM) - Indian Checking Pakistan’s Preparedness:
The Indian Government might have wanted to check Pakistan’s prepapredness to cope with any eventuality. This has been a fitting response by the Pakistan Air Force. My Salute to our Air Force! The nation stands behind you. We are proud of your effort!!

Update (02:55 AM) – End of Live Coverage
I will come up with a column on this development within two days I hope, including further developments and reactions that are bound to come up over the next 24 hours.

We have the most dumb people in the history of Pakistan ruling this country. If our PM gives interviews to Indian TV in such a humble way with Nuclear warheads on his back then God knows wht the response would be if Pakistan wouldnt be a Nuclear power, i guess Pakistan wouldnt be there in the first place.

Pakistan Zindabad…
The whole point I don’t understand is why our leadership is polite on this. I was shocked to see Sherry Rehman say that media should not create a hype of this as this was “inadvertent”. Damn! she doesn’t realise what a nations air space is….
@Anus
If this is democracy … dictatorship is a better option for us… -

Im not sure. No? Would Kiyani be sleeping? He’s not supposed to. But like I pointed out to Anas, it appears as if there was some tussle between the armed forces and the government ALL DAY LONG and in the end, the PAF had to come out to the media itself because the PPP was (presumably) reluctant to come out and make a public statement against India… This is another angle to look into.. the growing distance between the government and the armed forces of Pakistan.. given the scenario, the entire populace would stand behind the armed forces!

@ Anas:
The last time a plane was shot down was by India in 1999, almost two months after the Kargil war ended. The plane belonged to the Pakistan Navy and was NOT a fighter plane and was marked ‘non-hostile’…
I cannot recall any such incident in 2002, planes might have been chased out, but not shot down ‘intentionally’… that would really have provoked war as there were hundreds of thousands of forces on both sides of the border – all set for war.

Unmanned, it says. Fighter jet nahi tha. Spy planes to humne USA kay bhi bhagaye hi thay thoray din pehlay =P sigh! I wish we could have brought them down in the name of national dignity!
Good thing you shared it here. Gives us insight into the last major confrontation at this level.
Notice that then too, activism in Kashmir was at its peak. How do you relate to that? Do they use pressure tactics on Pakistan to divert attention from Kashmir every time things start getting out of control over there?

Shame on PPP. They have full plans to sell the country and then go abroad.
Anyway where were out anti aircraft guns and the SAM sites. PAF should have blown up those intruding planes.
This would send a strong signal
