Senior journalist Mansoor Ali Khan has disclosed that Pakistani and Indian fighter jets engaged in a tense standoff on the night of April 30. According to Khan, Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft began advancing toward Azad Kashmir across the Line of Control (LoC), prompting the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to swiftly scramble its jets.
PAF’s modern satellite-linked command systems and advanced radar tracked the movement of Indian Rafale jets, enabling a rapid response. Khan stated that Pakistani jets pressured IAF pilots to abandon their mission, forcing them to retreat. He emphasized the heightened role of night air patrolling when ground visibility is limited, noting that the incident occurred during a press conference by Information Minister Attaullah Tarar.
