Indian Air Force Air Strike In Balakot

The Indian Air Force is set to retire its Srinagar-based MiG-21 squadron 'Sword Arms' that Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was a part of when he had downed an F-16 combat aircraft of Pakistan a day after the Balakot strike in February 2019.

India's air power capabilities in terms of hitting targets, defending assets and use of new technologies have gone up significantly after Balakot air strikes and developments following Galwan Valley clashes, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said.

The fighter pilots of the same Indian Air Force squadron that bombed a Jaish-e-Mohammed camp in Pakistan's Balakot two years ago carried out a long-range precision strike against a practice target, sources have said.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday complimented the Indian Air Force for its rapid deployment of assets at forward locations in response to the standoff with China in eastern Ladakh, saying its Balakot strike and the current combat readiness have sent a strong message to "adversaries".

"We need to back-up our ability to do battle damage assessment" - a critical statement from Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria on the first anniversary of the Indian Air Force's attack on the Balakot terror camp in Pakistan where the government has not been in a position to release images or video of the impact of the hit.

Former Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa said there was no Pakistan aircraft within 150 km of India's strike package that bombed the terror camp in Pakistan's Balakot on February 26 last year. He said Pakistan had no knowledge about the Indian air-strike.

The United States reprimanded Pakistan Air Force chief in August for misusing F-16 fighter jets by undermining their shared security platforms and infrastructures, a media report in Washington has said, months after the Indian Air Force shot down an F-16 jet of the Pakistan Air Force during an aerial combat over Jammu and Kashmir.
