Saudi Tornados ID’ed Over Chaklala (?)
Tornadoes have been identified over Pakistan. Their brown camo suggests they are from Saudi Arabia. While many have seen these planes flying higher and faster than the F-7s of the PAF, the Tornadoes have been hard to identify. Our correspondents have confirmed with “90%” confidence that these are in fact Tornados. These planes are very likely on “loan” from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Tornados are BVR capable and could provide an excellent counter to the Su-30MKI of the Indian Air Force. They can more than match the speed, payload and range of the Indian FLANKERs.
Pakistan is in a state of heigtened alert as India continues to play nuclear brinkmanship in the Subcontinent in an effort to pressurize Pakistan to hand over militants allegedly involved in the Mumbai attacks. Pakistan refuses to hand over its citizens without proper evidence. Interpol Secretary General has stated that India has not given any evidence to them as of yet.
Now, there was no need for Hindustan to test-fire a ballistc missile towards a Saudi airliner last year was there?
