Pakistan scrambled two F-16 fighter jets and intercepted a SpiceJet plane as the passenger aircraft was making its journey to Kabul last month after a goof-up by the Indian aviation regulator, which assigned it an electronic code of a military aircraft.
The safety of the plane and 120 passengers onboard were put in jeopardy on September 23 as the plane was visible to Pakistan radars as an Indian Air Force aircraft, when the memory of Indian airstrikes in Pakistan’s Balakot in March was still fresh. Following this, two F-16s intercepted the plane to verify its identity, said an official of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
A mode-S transponder is an electronic address which is unique to a country and each plane. An official explained that these are assigned under different categories — IAF, civilian aircraft and AAI’s ground equipment.
The SpiceJet pilots were then told to “hold the plane” in the sky as the F-16s continued to flank it on both sides. After confirming that it was a harmless, civilian plane on a scheduled flight from New Delhi to Kabul, Pakistan Air Force jets escorted it to the Afghanistan border to allow it to complete its journey.
The drama unfolded seven months after IAF carried out strikes inside Pakistan territory in Balakot to eliminate Jaish-e-Mohammad terror camps following an attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir. A day after the attack, PAF jets targeted Indian military installations along the border but were thwarted by the IAF following an aerial dogfight.
Military aircraft carrying VIPs have to submit their flight path and seek prior permission for each flight when flying through another country, while commercial airlines file their six monthly schedule with the aviation regulator.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation suspended a DGCA official following the incident. It is reliably learnt that the entire process of assigning Mode-S transponders to aircraft, which was a manual one, has now been computerised to avoid human errors.
Is the Rafael for the IAF ? Can an Indian fly a plane or a fighter jet ?
The IAF was almost wiped out by the PAF,in the 1965 war – but the PAF had a pre-emptive strike,
so we can ignore it.
Let us also ignore the multiple air crashes of the IAF,in the Indian Heartland,and the Sino-Indian Border !
Let us look at History !
The Hindoo Hero,Man God,Hero God is RAMA ! As per the Valmiki Ramayana,his wife Sita,was kidnapped by the King of Lanka (a strategic ally of PRC),and loaded onto to a aero-vehicle and taken to Lanka
Rama the Man God neither saved his wife,nor heard her cries for help.
Rama the Man God could not get a plane,to intercept or rescue his wife – for 12 YEARS.
Rama the Man God,was roaming the jungles for 12 YEARS WITH APES AND BABOONS,trying to make an army to go to Lanka !
Rama the Man God,used an army of apes,to make a BRIDGE TO LANKA.Rama the ManGod,could not even make a ship,to reach Lanka !
PLA is to note that Rama the Man God used Apes,to make a bridge to Lanka,and also,to fight the Lankans.RAMA KNEW THE WORTH OF THE INDIANS – and so,he USED APES.
HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE FLY RAFAELS OR RUN NUKE SUBS ? They are the offsrping of Rama !
What did Seeta say of Rama ? She called him an impoteny pansy !

“What my father, the king of Mithila belonging to the country of Videha, think of himself having got as so-in-law you, a woman having the form of a man?”
The IAF and Army are the offsprings of Rana !
Indians do NOT realise,that the monkeys of Rama,cannot fight a war in Ladakh, for 5 reasons
There are no Trees in Galwan
There are no banana plantations in Galwan
There are no bananas in Galwan
It is too cold for monkeys to survive in Galwan
The Mongols have great experience in taming and managing apes and stallions – from before the time of Genghis Khan
The PLAF and PLN will destroy the IAFand the Indian Navy
