Operation Sindoor

[LETHALFORCE]

Wasn't it like still 47 days long?

That after F117s destroyed Iraqi C&C on day 1. I remember that from some discovery documentary on stealth aircrafts I saw as a kid.

About 5 weeks of combat ; combat preparations started in August from saudin arabia and everything ended by february

when I was in the gulf war in 91. It was a very fast war . USA hit Iraq with overwhelming force.
I wish India would do the same to pakis in this war, this wait and see strategy is really testing
one's patience??

USA didn't border a nuclear armed Iraq that shared common border.

USA's warfighting ways are not adoptable in Indian context.

I am not sure about exhausting our air defenses by this. These swarm drones are not being hit by missiles but L70, Ammo can be replenished before it is used.

That's true, because the ammo is being made at our ordinance factory. But can experts comment on what do we have against Bayraktar TB2 drones?

Emperor Billa , I have a suggestion.
Can we make a separate thread for PiB fact checks ?
It will keep them compiled in one place .
Ofcourse this is just a suggestion

Akash is more than capable, even an overkill.
The most effective should be Shilka.

Don't come back with bloodless swords this time.

I will trying to find out news on what Indian Navy movements are, and absolutely zilch!
In this case that's usually a good sign.

Indian UAV hits target in Chaprar, Sialkot

Also people, do realise this is indeed a turn based game at this point. However the turns are not day to day. It is move to move.

Right now Pakistan is still making it's move. It is an inefficient enemy so this is how it looks. India has the capability for blitz chess but Pakis are too low down in ELO so they're taking much more time.

Next move will be when some new capability is used.

Probably they don't have proximity fuse or they are legacy systems. It's as good as tukka mara and pray it hits. I saw a video with people shouting Allah akbar praying the ammunitions hit

There was just as bad a threat from Saddam's chemical weapons , specifically
sarin liquid and tabun gas. I was in the medical side and training people in NBC units for
that threat.

We need a desi counterpart of the Miniature Hit to Kill Missile (MHTK) immediately!

A smol ±10km ±25kg cheap Fox1 (ie no seeker of its own) radar-guided dart, with a frag-grenade to destroy slow-moving drones by contact, this cutting the fuse cost. Dozens vertically mounted on a 4×4 vehicle, maybe disguised as a cargo truck or ports cabin.

Which one is better to kill a drone. A HTK or a Proximity Fuze based system?

In your 2nd line, you talk about a frag grenade + destroying drones by contact.
Don't you think that the cost of HTK systems escalates very quickly as you are using n times of the same ammo to do HTK.

I don't trust this handle, I suspect it to be paki. Still posted as I thought it is informative (even if dubious)

It is a legit article from The Telegraph UK

Per the article a carrier strike group has departed to arabian sea.

These seem like flares to me. Is this area a possible infiltration location for their SSG?

They are using flares to spot drones. They dont have thermals or targeting computers on their Oerlikons.

Bayraktar TB2 Is big drone... Even if we are using Akash or any other AD system to bring it down it s not going to exhaust anything.

We have thousands of Akash not even talking about other missiles and only 600-700 are ever made of these drone. Porkis won't have more then 50 of these. Not gonna help them.

I hope, this answers the "Ammo Exhaustion" question.

 

[Azaad]

I was always wondering. Now I know with a great certainty, those CNN/Reuters pieces were hit jobs against the French Rafale (a competition).

Just like the hit jobs against the India-made COVAXIN after we refused to spread red carpet for Pfizer.

Both USA and China will loose considerable money and influence if their weapon systems are found lacking in this India-vs-Pakistan conflict.

Hit jobs ?? Check out Le Monde , top selling newspaper in France. They're carrying the same garbage as the other western media outlets.

Military operation in Pakistan reveals weaknesses of India's air force

New Delhi has begun to acknowledge the loss of several fighter jets during 'Operation Sindoor.' Military experts suggest that at least one Rafale may be among the destroyed aircraft. This would mark the first loss in combat for the French aircraft.

Now what're you going to say ?

This has probably been discussed so many times that even a dumb LLM will give you this answer. Pls try in chatgpt once how india can counter tb2 type drones.
