IAF chief on protocol response over bomb scare on China-bound plane in Indian airspace

Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari explained the response protocol to China-bound Iranian aircraft amid a bomb scare onboard after it entered Indian airspace. “As per the given standard operating procedures, the response was to scramble fighters… initially two of them, from a base in Punjab. And then, thereafter, another two followed the aircraft,” said the Indian Air Force Chief. The pilot of Mahan Air flight chose to continue to fly to China’s Guangzhou after the threat later turned out to be a hoax. Watch this video for more details.

This plane made dangerous circle loops near Delhi at a much lower 20000ft than approved 35000ft....this could have repeated a charkhi dadri mid air collision plus this plane might have hitt a strategic target ...saying PLEASE IGNORE THREAT doesn't discount further callous attitude....gvt of India must ask mahaan air, pak atc, Iran civil aviation dept for GENUINE REASON BEHIND THIS SECURITY THREAT DRAMA

It were some Lahori idiots sitting in ATC room who claimed to have bomb on the plane. Then, one could easily verify how authentic the information was

How come a foreign pilot in a bomb threat scenario choose A SPECIFIC airstrip to land in a 3rd country 😠😠😠????how

1. If any unlikely response was triggered in such a horrifying situation, it could bring down India's good will.

2. Also this could have been a test dose to know how the defence would respond.
