OK, this may take a bit more digging. I am reading from you that there are assertions of an Israeli pilot, flying for (or from within) India during a cross border strike into Pakistan. Or .... an observer in a two seat jet? Or WTF?
I have no idea how to parse your points on the Long Range and THAAD thing.
I thus ask:
Are you saying that Pakistan THAAD is now being "pointed" at Israel due to a belief that a strike from Israel is pending, or that Israeli THAAD is being moved/Deployed?
Unclear as written.
To be clear I'm just quoting things in the media.

Sorry i think I wasnt clear. I meant to refer to the US deploying the THAAD to Israel. Pakistan has no missile defense system. Pakistan deployed long range ballistic missiles systems targeting both Israel and india.

About the Israeli pilot, my guess is as good as yours. But the news is that it is an israeli pilot. Probably from the su30 that was downed. That would make him part of the ADA flights put up to intercept the PAF fighters.

what is official is that there is a second pilot in custody. Question is why isnt he being acknowledged by india? Or being paraded by pakistan?
