April 4, 2021
India, Pakistan aerial skirmish in Balakot and fighters used including Su-30MKI and JF-17 continue to intrigue defense experts. According to experts, SU-30MKIs are one of the most powerful fighters on the planet with one ‘fixable’ weakness.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had deployed as many as 24 fighter jets, including the JF-17, in response to India’s airstrike on Balakot terrorist camps on February 26, 2019.
Several of these jets managed to cross the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto India-Pakistan border, releasing precision-guided glide bombs on Indian military installations in the Rajouri sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
