When Indian Hunters Met Pakistani Sabres (Indo-Pak War 1971)

Hawker Hunter is a British transonic fighter plane which entered RAF service n 1954. Among many operators of this jet, India was one of the biggest ones. When the 1971. War with Pakistan broke out, Hunter was still one of the most numerous combat aircraft in the Indian Air Force. They were frequently used for ground attacks and sometimes, they would encounter Pakistani fighters defending their airbases or providing CAP. On 10 December 1971, two Hunters led by Sqdn Ldr Ravinder Nath Bhardwaj were attacked by two Sabres led by Sqdn Ldr Choudhry. Pakistanis were able to hit first but check out the video to see how the fight ended.

    I know the Hunters like I know back of my hand. Dismantled and reassembled many in ten years of service in IAF. In 1965 war, I led a specialized technical team to replace entire damaged wing and replaced it with another intact one from the second damaged hunter in less than 6 hours. Loved the beautiful aircraft. We put as many as ten back into fight. Got a Bronze Star with combat medal. Served 7 & 27 Squd.

    India and Pakistan both had phenomenal pilots. The capabilities of both seem very much similar. However the one place India tended to do better was Interservices co-ordination. Also fun thing is for a long time Indians believed the attack on Murid Airbase destroyed only an ammo dump, before Kaiser Tufail stated that 5 Sabres were destroyed.

    You can blame the madness that was "Concorde" for the largely missing UK Aircraft Manufacturing - a golden nail in the coffin... the UK could have produced an aircraft better than the Jumbo 747 - but they choose the wrong path - much based on the ego of those in the driving seat of the companies involved and government. Concorde was said to be the equivalent of the UK's 'space program' due to its complexity - it was a dismal failure that destroyed its manufacturers. We could have produced thousands of the 'British 747' instead of just 20 Concordes - and if we'd done that Britain would still lead the world in Aircraft manufacturing. "Pride" is a sin...

    Simple. Most aviation documentaries are the products of the West. They highlight what they want to highlight. For example, the West seems to put an "unusual" amount of stress on "superb" Israeli fighter pilots shooting down Arab pilots in all of the Arab Israeli conflicts, failing to mention how poorly trained the Arabs pilots really were and, in many cases, still are. This is about the same as American pilots shooting down North Korean pilots who were sent into combat with barely 40 hours of flight time whereas the vast majority of American pilots were WW2 veterans. Once the experienced Soviet pilots began to fly the Mig-15s the odds shifted a bit. It was the same story in the first Gulf war. The Iraqis were no match for American aircraft, technology and their experienced pilots. Bluntly, the West is surreptitiously demonstrating its superiority by only highlighting conflicts where it was successful. You do not hear too much about the North Vietnamese pilots who shot down Americans during the Vietnam war. The India and Pakistan conflicts, while very short wars, saw some of the greatest dogfights of the classic jet age ever fought. Mostly low-level fights and lots of them. But as you observed, they do not get much attention. Both countries produced some excellent pilots and despite what is stated in some media reports, there was a great deal of chivalry among the Pakistani and Indian pilots. The father of a friend of mine flew 26 missions in the 1971 war. He also shot down 1 x SU7 and damaged another in a confrontation while flying the F86. His father recounted an incident where a Sikh Indian pilot (a senior Wing Commander) was shot down by a much younger Pakistani pilot in a dogfight. The Indian pilot ejected and survived and was taken a PW. The Indian pilot was taken into a bunker where they all shared some food, beer, and conversation. A few days later, he was shown the gun camera film of the pilot who shot him down and they were discussing what "errors" he had made and so forth! LOL! Per my friend's father, there was no hostility or bad blood at all. They all saw each other as professionals.

    Nice video & channel. Hawker Hunters a great British, export success story👍🙂 During the Rhodesian Bush War, through 60's to end of 70's, Rhodesian Air Force, Hunter FGA.9s, were used to great effect, as ground support bombers, pounding terrorist bases & formations. Its rugged design and range, used in attacks over Zambia, Mozambique. I don't recall them being used against other aircraft? Embarrassing for the British, as Rhodesia being a rogue colony since 1965, was using its limited resources, very effectively against terrorists, backed by the international community. I see Hunters remained in service, after Rhodesia became Zimbabwe up to 2022. Those airframes must have been getting long in the tooth by then.

    Yes, would be interested in learning more about Hunters in combat. To the best of my knowledge, India and Iraq are the only countries to have used the Hunter in major combat against modern opposition. Also its older sibling the Hawker Seahawk, which I believe was used only by India against a modern enemy in 1971 off of the INS Vikrant aircraft carrier. I would love to be corrected.

I guess the ME-262 also had 4, 30mm cannon but they were much shorter range and less ammo. The Mig-19 had the 3, 30mm guns. Still not up the the Hunter's standard.

    That engagement hasn't been confirmed by either side. They are all claims with no proof. Pakistan, PAF, his squadron, and even his wingmen haven't confirmed the event. Instead, Pakistani pilots have contested his claims. And conveniently enough, MM Alam was flying the only F-86 Sabre in the PAF inventory that "didn't have" a gun camera. No wreckages or bodies were found either.
