  • AoA to that.
  • 1. if India sunk that then great work. ( BTW the submarine is supposed to be sunk always ;) ) 2. if they tripped their own mines means stupid untrained crew. 3. if malfunction means bad job of pakis
  • I think The submarinal crew would not be so stupid, it would have been destroyed by Indian Navy during the war.
  • anyway a Paki Sub Sunk in Indian Terrtory..... What do we need more.... Jai Hind....
  • wah bi wah.. OUROWNWAR, Kia logic lae ho tm :).. stupid!!!
  • I think entering an enemy teritory alone and doing such a huge task is a hell of great job done by ghazi crew. Their luck was not good but this single ship really terrified the whole indian navy in 1965 as well as in 1971.
  • PNS hangoor destoryed 2 indian warships in 1971 near bombay.
  • This submarine was sunk due to internal blast. Indian navy came to know about it after 3 days when fishermen reported huge oil on surface. No credit goes to indian navy. It was submarine's bad luck.
  • Indian navy has lost just 1 ship until now..who the hell informed you that hangor sank two ships??
  • paki's are misguided by their own government !
  • All Pakistani just talk about INS Khukari's and It's sinking by Pak Navy ( the only exception ) But don't forget about sinking of Pak Navy's PNS Muhafiz, PNS Khaibar, PNS Shah Jahan, PNS Dacca, MV Venus Challenger, PNS Zulfikar, fuel tanks at the Keamari Oil Depo karachi, Panamian fuel tanker the SS Gulf Star,British ship SS Harmattan etc. That's why Indian Navy is Biggest Night mare for his Enemy ......
  • PNS HANGOOR SANK MANY MANY INDIAN SHIPS IN THEIR DREAMS ONLY TO LOOSE THE WAR ULTIMATELY.
