ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Senior journalist Mansoor Ali Khan has revealed that during the patrolling of four Indian Air Force Rafale aircrafts over occupied Jammu and Kashmir on the night of April 29 and 30, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had jammed an accompanying India’s stock plane that forced the Indian fighters to flee.
He said that Pakistan’s C-130 aircraft jammed the Indian stock plane for 2 to 3 minutes, and its contact with the control tower and its own fighter jets was cut off.
“The Pakistani C-130 rendered the stock plane complete blind and deaf. When the stock plane was jammed, the Rafale aircrafts left, lest we also have to face such a situation.”
He said the same thing happened with Abhinandan’s plane and added since the PAF jammed Indian stock plane, she had lost its composure.
Khan was of the view that India would have faced embarrassment if the stock plane had been damaged with soldiers on board, which is why India was forced to retreat and sits silently. India realized that Pakistan’s jamming system is very strong.
Khan said that the stock plane is used to transport soldiers from one place to another and it provides support to fighter planes.

It should be remembered that four Indian Air Force Rafale aircrafts patrolled over occupied Jammu and Kashmir while remaining within Indian airspace, which were immediately detected by Pakistani Air Force radar system.
