Operation Sindoor

[abingdonboy]

False analogy nd comparison u are just arguing for the sake of arguing..

Let me brake it down for u

he made those comments in 2019 under different circumstances where 2025 picture is completely different..

He said those comments when IAF was found lacking in long range BVRAAM wrt to meteor nd rafale when PAXTAN ATTACKED US with swift retort.. where long range meteor would hv incurred loses on PAF strike package..

During that time both paxtan nd india lacked long range ADS.

Now situation in 2025 hv completely changed with both side employing long range ADS ( HQ9b nd S400) to cause max damage to any strike package..

This is an era of AIR DENIAL

If u are that serious than study why russia with much qualitative nd quantitive airforce failed against ukraine non existent airforce.. u will get ur answer why long range ADS are so effective against 4th gen vectors..

Nd now with all ills IAF could stike deep inside paxtan nd achieved all its objectives.. now ask PAF to repeat it's swift retort.. lol u will know what will happen to them.. they hv simply walked out of fight..

A lot of words and emotion for not much substance

Things move on yes, India’s inability to maintain an edge never ends

Talking or trying to know about planes is being defensive, just post laugh reacts in response to them and scream your point, remember how china just puts fingers in ears and starts screaming their point, maybe dont even engage them since it gives them more reach , money , power, relevance.

 

[samsaptaka]

All the conversation about potential loos of aircrafts have nothing to do with the cost or being unable to stomach losses.
Potential loss of the best fighter in our inventory against a country like Pakistan shows that they can match us in capability despite being 1/10 of the economy. That's not good. It's also neither good for optics nor for deterrence.

Dirt poor Afg despite horrendous losses kicked out Amreeka, ditto Vietnam....so in a war anything can happen, porkies will down ours no doubt,but thats no reason to loose our nerve and get riled up, shit happens. Winning the larger war is what matters even if we lose a battle or two

 

[Spacemarine]

All precision strikes were meticulously executed, well recorded and in dense SAM and BVR threats no loss of manned jet in SAM or BVRs, MKIs powerful EW suites completely defeated PL-15 and SAMs,
All pilots are safe.

Indian Army are avoiding dense civilian clusters with precise hits on Pakistani artillery positions inside civilian areas all border civilians are being avenged multifold.

I feel judging by China's behavior. We should expect Chinese aggression in next 1 year.

Here's my reason.

Chinese aggression I believe in Arunachal Pradesh in mid-2026 is highly likely.

1. Historical Pattern of PLA Opportunism Post-India-Pak Tensions​

• Post-Uri (2016) surgical strikes → China ramped border infrastructure but stayed cautious.
• China did Doklam in 2017.
• Post-Pulwama/Balakot (2019)→ Within a year:
  • 2020 PLA summer exercises in Tibet
  • April–June: Pangong Tso standoff, Galwan clash, Naku La incursions

Inference: This is the main point is PLA views Indo-Pak crises as windows to:

• Distract Indian military attention,
• Test India’s strategic overstretch,
• Exploit political fog and timing to create faits accomplis on LAC.

2. Why May–July 2026 Is the Prime Window​

• India’s forces are still redeploying or recovering from high-intensity op tempo post-airstrikes.
• Monsoon begins by mid-June — hampering India’s rapid reinforcement in NE & Ladakh.
• U.S. may be distracted mid term election, Tariff wars, and Trumps honeymoon period ending ripple effects, and with China reasserting in Taiwan theatre or SCS.
• CCP likely to manufacture a “border provocation” narrative around India’s infra activity or air patrols.

3. What Would Be China’s Logic Behind It​

• Strategic Punishment:
  Signal to India not to go “too far” into hard power assertion, especially with growing U.S./Quad ties.
• Preempt Indian Posture Shift:
  India’s post-strike high might lead to doctrinal assertiveness at the border. PLA may try to dent that shift early.
• Create New Tactical Realities:
  Another Galwan-style shift: permanent military positioning in new grey zones.

---

4. What to Watch For Now (Indicators from May–Dec 2025)​

• PLA’s Tibet exercises expanding into new sectors (especially Tawang, Barahoti, Walong).
• Infrastructure buildup disproportionate to “defensive” needs.
• Chinese state media suddenly spotlighting Arunachal or “violations” by India.
• CCP aligning narratives of “two-front threat” = India + Taiwan — justifying LAC action.
• Chinese sabre rattling rising in tempo in upcoming months.

Bottom Line​

Expect Chinese military-political coercion between May–July 2026, aimed at:

• Reasserting dominance post-India’s strike into Pakistan,
• Cauterizing India’s confidence surge,
• Taking advantage of India’s temporary force realignment,
• And shifting LAC dynamics subtly in China’s favor.

India should preempt by:

• Fortifying vulnerable sectors (Arunachal, Barahoti),
• Keeping a cold-start type posture ready for LAC now,
• Strengthening ISR across eastern and central sectors.

It always preceeds by some BS road construction excuse that China cooks up when it wants to transgress into our borders.

So Chinese aggression isn't gonna happen now. It's gonna happen in one year and we cannot just say we were not ready or we didn't know etc etc. We must pre empt any moves to ambush our soldiers. The thaw right now that India-China relations is experiencing is nothing but strategic deception and misdirection. Chinese are sharpening their knives while shaking our hands.

The disengagement at LAC is not de escalation. PLA is gonna re engage somewhere else (possibly Arunachal Pradesh) in 1 years time and this time it will be higher up the notch than Galwan. They were already probing in 2022.

I feel we have one year to be ready for it.

Chinaman will do the infamous no Guns only melee combat which includes some spike bats. This time I am suggesting boys to use the following iconic Tamilnadu weapon.


Just a clinical swing, you can remove chinaman midgets.

It cannot be controversial to kick those that simp for imported toys out now, they are either incompetent or lying

If we had Rafales, we’d have shot down 4-5 Pakistani jets after Balakot: IAF ex-chief Dhanoa

Former IAF chief B.S. Dhanoa says India will hit back harder if Pakistan tries a Pulwama-like attack again.

theprint.in

IAF Chief stated the problem which is beyond Gold plated imports.

1. Having HAL as monopoly results in Quality lapse.
2. ADA/ADE delays in designing planes.
3. Political nautanki which resulted in delayed MMRCA. Still it exists since an decade has passed after 36 Rafale purchase. This is happening for long time, started from then Jaguar, Mirage and sudden decision to get SU-30MKI since Boris Yeltsin asked for help to save Russian MIC.

IAF has its fair share of trouble like poor planning like failing to order Tejas on IOC spec expecting the Political parties to understand defense.

They have literally just put one muslim female signaling pakistan is the problem not the greens lol....

Mullahs don't like Female commanding them. It always stinks for them.

It is deception by Showbaaz( Muneera ).

It's ok if memberaans believe in it, it is dangerous if GoI also believes in this trick and orders the armed forces to lower their readiness and alertness.

I don't think the Govt is buying Showbaaz's jhumlas.

I HIGHLY doubt that this is deception by Pakistan. Remember, Pakistan Army's whole SoP with Pahalgam was to rally support from the masses for the military again. Therefore, if they were planning anything, they'd be screaming so at the top of their voices. The level of HUMINT and SIGINT gathering capabilities India has demonstrated with Op Sindoor, Pakistan must understand that such futile deception tactics (that is if it is deception) wouldn't work against India. Instead, it seems that the Pakis are busy trying to appease their masses with "5 Indian jets maar giraye."

If supreme leader stops at this, I will be very very disappointed. Because this is the same churan we have been seeing from him. They do terrorist attack and we retaliate in return. That too our retaliation is not to touch their military infrastructure while at the same time being under attack from them and still bombing terrorist scum. This is fucking BS. Our supreme leader should stop this non sense. We need to dare them to attack us while we should fire our missiles with impunity to destroy their military assets.

Vajpayee did the same mistake asking forces not to cross LoC. Now in retrospect we can somewhat sympathize with him given that India was very weak at that time economically and militarily. Change of governments for 4 years with double digit inflation forced him to take the decision to not escalate the war. However, our supreme leader although has made air strikes the norm to target Porki scums, it is extremely stupid to stop at one strike especially now. We should conduct another round of attacks on their assets and stare them down for confrontation. I won't judge and I will wait.

Naah he did well under the international umbrella and prolly with US approval.

If Pak start something though then all bets are off.

They have been given an out this way.

I’m concerned Pakistan might use drones to attack Kashmir outposts…are we prepared for that eventuality?

We demonstrated swarm drone technology from 2022.

Just saying.

Why isn’t there more focus on their retaliatory strikes in Poonch? We’ve suffered many civilian casualties (including children) which is an escalation in and of itself.

The question isn’t IF porkis will escalate… we now need to do round #2 and avenge Poonch but need MSM to publicise Pakistan’s war crimes first. Why is this not getting more traction I don’t understand.

that's because of the way discourse on India-pakistan is structured. pakis inflict pain on indian civilians both thru terrorism and military action, is their way of putting political pressure on India to give up kashmir.

and add to this, pakis as a matter of policy have never admitted that they are feeling the pain to Indian response. unless it is a spectacular event like it has happened in op sindoor, where it gets difficult to hide.

net net what happens in information space is that when any terror attack or duel with pakis happens , since india is a free society with very little control over information flow. more info ends up being amplified on Indian side than from paki side. you check in the footage available over the past two weeks, 90% of news footage is from Indian side across the world.

this means, defence enthusiasts have to factor this in when observing our security incidents. just because there is 90% more info from own side, does not mean retribution is not happening to the other side.

The best option for them is keep doing terror attacks instead of hitting Indian army directly.
In response we will keep hitting militants sites.

If they opt to hit Indian Army, they will loose all control on India's 'response'.

If we want our side of the story to be heard in western media houses, we need to cultivate folks like this. China has a boatload of the same as do jehadis.

Look at how many cry for a no value shithole like Gaza.

100% sure balakot had casualties.

but because we let them get away w/o escalating they became emboldened.

this time their shame is obvious.

this is how you deal with them.

pak are cavemen. they only respect humiliation. that's why they suck kohli's dick, even though he murders them on the regular.

One comeback is "Okay, one rafale crashed, we are a 4 trillion $ economy, we can buy 10 more"


No need to get bhosdapilled yourself, many such cumbacks are available to fuck with paki's mind rather than getting your own mind fucked and getting demoralized

Don't know why GOI being a pussy and allowing these sadakchaps to have business here. Should identify and ask them to move out of these country if you feel so worried.

They can do mujra in Iran before Khomeni bro.
