Trouble- Indian fighter jets violate Pakistan air space

SLAMABAD: Indian fighter planes Saturday violated Pakistanâ€s air space by entering two places in Kashmir and Lahore.

Planes of Pakistan Air Force (PAF), which were already on alert, quickly came into action and forced the Indiaâ€s fighter jets to leave Pakistanâ€s air space, Geo TV sources said.

The sources further said that the Indian planes were fully equipped with warheads.

Meanwhile, a state run TV channel has reported that a loud blast was heard in Arabian Sea between Badin and Jati cities Saturday night.

However, further details about the blast were not received.

The cause and exact location of the blast is being ascertained.

The local people were in a state of fear after the blast, sources said

India have said that jets crossed the border "unknowingly"

violation of airspace and borders happen quite often within the international community.

Sure this has happened at the most shittest time, but i dont think its anything to shout about yet.

2 Rusky jets violated UK airspace near Hull recently and were chased out after 2 Typhoons were scrambled.

The RAF later recieved over 2000 complaints that the Russian jets weren't allowed to drop their payload on Hull....

I suspect that "accidentally" overflying someone else's territory is a more common occurrence than might be generally supposed.

So how long before India and Pakistan start flicking their nukes at each other? Is anyone running a book on it?

zatty, I used to think that India and Pakistan couldn't be stupid enough to get into a nukuleah showdown . . . . then I started reading cricket forums . . . .

Yeah, amazing what cricket does to promote understanding another country.

I am sure an Aussie will be just what we need to promote world peace and tolerance...

Just a fart gone wrong ... else the ball less leaders of India don't have it in them to hurt a fly.

Considering the current situation it was at best terrible timing. Glad no real damage was done from either side especially from Pakistan who could have easily shot the jets down.

India won't go to war.

what is the point may I ask ? Pakistan which could have easily shot the jets down with their death rays would have done so if they could (the same Death Rays with which they shoot down the drones on Afghan border I may add). The Indians would not want to give the excuse to Pakistan Army (the true source of terrorism) to deviate from their international obligations by just a border violation scare.

The only instance the Indian fighters will cross the border would be for a decapitating nuke strike on Pakistan's military leadership and ISI HQ and certain jehadized areas. They would not want to scare monger and get the enemy a view of a dry run before they have done that and allow them to be better prepared.

As usual this one has been pulled out of the terrorist Army's a**e

sounds like the 'threatening call' from pranab mukherjee to zardari. diversionary tactics aimed at the domestic audience since nothing quells local protest like the threat of war from your 'enemy'
