I used to harbour suspicions that this guy is a plant by our counter intelligence establishment . I think there's no scope for any doubts on this count whatsoever.

Indeed, that looks like the most likely scenario, otherwise, I cannot fathom any former military officer, even the ones who are highly critical of the current government, going to this level of disparaging their own military and being a shill for Pakistan

Either a RAW agent or Honey trapped by Paki pimps considering his womanizing past.

The range hardly matters, engaging target from 300km is not remotely possible no radar is that powerful.
The engagement probably happened around 50km, either the pl15 had better electronics or rafale was just unable to deploy countermeasures in time, might be due to less experience on the platform

probably guided by AWACs, though that would either mean they had deployed their shit chinese AWACs or have been successful in data linking the chinese missiles and SAAB Erieye

also, it's worthy to note that the PL15 missile debris showed it was the export version, which is of a lower range. the truth could be somewhere in the middle

engines never fall off a jet after being hit. its the ONE part that will never fall off, unless you break the plane in half. and never has one engine fallen off a twin engine jet.

This is basic jet design 101 : why did India choose the F404 for Tejas and production got fucked due to F404 engine delay ?
Because the FIRST thing you do in jet design is pick an engine. then you design the airframe around it. and the way engine is mated to an airframe - its the ONE part that can never ever fall off. period.

agreed. that much damage would effectively render the jet unusable. i guess we'll never know (not that i have a problem with it!)

Operation Baniyan Chaddi failed so no one is kanging on that.

All the kanging is of the downed jets from day 1.

no point beating a dead horse id say!

anyways, isn't there a different thread for the memes on op chaddi baniyan?

no new facts coming out yet regd the op either, hence i guess we're back to sitting around a bonfire and baatoing gyan on other unclear aspects. though im all for another round of dissing them paks!

Still no proof of "muh radiation leak" so hopefully, everyone can finally stop rumor-mongering.

that;s for DEAD. for SEAD you typically rely on dedicated electronic warfare systems like the prowler, growler, and sino-growler. not sure of AWACs effectiveness in it though. i believe only the americans and chinese currently possess such dedicated airborne electronic attack capability, and the russians have some decent ground-based EW systems.

our planes do have jammer pods, but i don't know if there's any plan for dedicated EW aircraft yet. that we need it has become amply clear after this op. anyone has any idea if we're indeed inching towards that capability?

Australia is become overtly pro-india. On their RW cycle there is constant whining both labor and conservative cater Indian state, importing Indians, are selling mines to Indian companies. Their criketers go indian temples, Kumbh and support India. It is like the way Chinese has bought Canada, Pakis has bought UK and Indians have bought Australia and New Zealand.

No matter where you buy from some parts have dependency on different countries. Even f35 uses uses cobalt and Megnate surface from china . That’s why production was hampered.
When we go for Jv we can modify and change them to our liking. That’s why full tot and production line is important. Also with nozzle and al51 engine we can develop as per our spec.
Biggest problem will be European components which can be sorted out in our india plant , where we don’t have European sanctions. We should present it as a totally different platform altogether.

Rest some senior aviation member can she light on.

Yesss. Import with TOnTi is very jarrori.
I loobe import. Import is ma lyfe.

Their advance staging airfields west of Nepal will be taken out within 24 hours of action. Most of their important bases are within the blue sectors.

Without mid-point supply air-fields between Aksai chin and Lhasa, and between Lhasa to Chengu, it just increases the flight duration for their assets. They'll need to have refuellers up on the air 24/7, ripe targets flying low enough behind the peaks, wasting more and more fuel. They could fly more North, but if Hotan gets taken out, they have no dice. Again they'll be wasting more fuel. So just because they have more fighters, doesn't mean they can bring all their toys to play over Tibet if we decided to retake Aksai chin and Shaksgam valley. They can have the most advanced fuking jets, but if you can't land, you're just stuck firing from a stand-off range.​

You're forgetting Yunnan. That's where they'd be basing a substantial number of assets including the combination of J-20 + J-16 from where they plan to target us in the rear especially the NE flying over Myanmar & BD .

That's also from where they'd be targeting our eastern coast especially the island chain of A&N Islands our so called unsinkable Aircraft Carrier. They've been war gaming such a scenario using J-20s from the mid 2010s , something which rung alarm bells in our security establishment. Hence our urgent procurement of 26 nos Rafale M .

Look at the speed with which we went about its procurement. RoI in 2017 IIRC. Signing of the contract in 2025. And then there's the MMRCA / MRFA tender which has been going on like Duracell.

Why does Iran think Arab countries will suddenly feel the need to build an Islamic bomb together? Has something happened to the existing one? Is iran hinting the current custodian is too unreliable?

arabs dont care about having an islamic bomb. arab world is far less united than western world, when push comes to shove - look at how much western nations have banded together on Ukraine, out of collective hatred of Russia + paranoia over Russia.
But arabs literally cant even band together in actual times of war involving their hoodoo hated nation they are paranoid over - israel. Its always been the bordering nations of Israel and pakis-the eternal kabaab mein haddi- that show up to fight israel.
even in 2nd arab israe war, presence of non bordering arab nations was minimal - pure tokenism.

So arabs know, there is no such thing as an islamic bum and they are actually better off under Unkil's nuclear umbrella or make their own- if unkil allows it - which will take year 2100 at bare minimum coz arabs as it is, cant even get their own facking oil outta the ground without phoren ( desi engineers + euro equipment) help. So to make bum, will take a looooooooong time - because pakis have more technical capability than the sum totality of arab world and we just saw paki technical ability vs ours in full display.

Besides, Iran doesnt have enrichnment capability enough to make nook for itself willy nilly AND share with arabs- enrichment capable centrifuges are high tech and few companies in the world make it and they are extremely well tracked - we know how many iran has and it cant make its own either ( i am not sure even if we can tbh, my info on this is uni era, back when only the conventional nuclear powers + germany & japan had capacity for making the centrifuges for weapons grade enrichment.

Iran play is far more simpler: is just desperate, it knows that if Pakistan's nuclear bluff just got called by us 'dehati' Indians, so Unkil will have no problems calling its nuclear bluff even 25 yers from now, even if Iran does a nook test tomorrow and makes nuke bombs full tilt to its max production capacity for another 25 years.
India kind of fucked Iran inadvertently in the geo-political power game and really made it vulnerable to israel at the very least, because if Indians can neutralize main air base of paki capital and paki nuke storage, Israel can do it easy peasy on Iran's current much more dehati-than-pakistan nuclear and missile capability.
Inorder to un-fuck itself, iran is desperately seeking 'nuclear partners' to mitigate risk of being blown to bits soon. THAT is the main play of Iran here.

Operation Sindoor: A Decisive Victory in Modern Warfare




India has not declared Operation Sindoor completely over. What exists now is a sensitive halt in operations—some may call it a ceasefire, but military leaders have deliberately avoided that word. From a warfighting perspective, this is not merely a pause; it is a strategic hold following a rare and unambiguous military victory.
After just four days of calibrated military action, it is objectively conclusive: India achieved a massive victory. Operation Sindoor met and exceeded its strategic aims—destroying terrorist infrastructure, demonstrating military superiority, restoring deterrence, and unveiling a new national security doctrine. This was not symbolic force. It was decisive power, clearly applied.
India was attacked. On April 22, 2025, 26 Indian civilians, mostly Hindu tourists, were massacred in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility. As has been the case for decades, the group is backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
But unlike previous attacks, this time India didn’t wait. It didn’t appeal for international mediation or issue a diplomatic demarche. It launched warplanes.
On May 7, India initiated Operation Sindoor, a swift and precisely calibrated military campaign. The Indian Air Force struck nine terrorist infrastructure targets inside Pakistan, including headquarters and operational hubs for Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The message was clear: terror attacks launched from Pakistani soil will now be treated as acts of war.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the new doctrine unmistakable: "India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. India will strike precisely and decisively at the terrorist hideouts developing under the cover of nuclear blackmail."
More than a retaliation, this was the unveiling of a strategic doctrine. As Modi said, “Terror and talks can’t go together. Water and blood can’t flow together.”
Operation Sindoor was executed in deliberate phases:
· May 7: Nine precision strikes were launched deep into Pakistani territory. Targets included key terror training camps and logistics nodes in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Muzaffarabad, and elsewhere.
· May 8: Pakistan retaliated with a massive drone swarm across India’s western states. India’s multi-layered air defense network—domestically built and augmented by Israeli and Russian systems—neutralized nearly all of them.
· May 9: India escalated with additional strikes on six Pakistani military airbases and UAV coordination hubs.
· May 10: A temporary halt in firing was reached. India did not call it a ceasefire. The Indian military referred to it as a “stoppage of firing”—a semantic but deliberate choice that reinforced its strategic control of the situation.
This wasn’t just tactical success. It was doctrinal execution under live fire.
Strategic Effects Achieved
1. A New Red Line Was Drawn—and EnforcedTerror attacks from Pakistani soil will now be met with military force. That’s not a threat. It’s precedent.
2. Military Superiority DemonstratedIndia showcased its ability to strike any target in Pakistan at will—terror sites, drone coordination hubs, even airbases. Meanwhile, Pakistan was unable to penetrate a single defended area inside India. That is not parity. That is overwhelming superiority. And that is how real deterrence is established.
3. Restored DeterrenceIndia retaliated forcefully but stopped short of full war. The controlled escalation sent a clear deterrent signal: India will respond, and it controls the pace.
4. Asserted Strategic IndependenceIndia handled this crisis without seeking international mediation. It enforced doctrine on sovereign terms, using sovereign means.
Operation Sindoor was not about occupation or regime change. It was limited war executed for specific objectives. Critics who argue India should have gone further miss the point. Strategic success isn’t about the scale of destruction—it’s about achieving the desired political effect.
India was not fighting for vengeance. It was fighting for deterrence. And it worked.
India’s restraint is not weakness—it is maturity. It imposed costs, redefined thresholds, and retained escalation dominance. India didn’t just respond to an attack. It changed the strategic equation.
In an age where many modern wars spiral into open-ended occupations or political confusion, Operation Sindoor stands apart. This was a demonstration of disciplined military strategy: clear goals, aligned ways and means, and adaptive execution in the face of unpredictable escalation. India absorbed a blow, defined its objective, and achieved it—all within a contained timeframe.
The use of force in Operation Sindoor was overwhelming yet controlled—precise, decisive, and without hesitation. That kind of clarity is rare in modern war. In an era defined by "forever wars" and cycles of violence without strategic direction, Sindoor stands apart. It offers a model of limited war with clearly defined ends, matched ways and means, and a state that never relinquished the initiative.
The India of 2008 absorbed attacks and waited. This India hits back—immediately, precisely, and with clarity.
Modi’s doctrine, India’s advancing domestic defense industry, and the professionalism of its armed forces all signal a country no longer preparing for the last war. It is preparing for the next one.
The halt in operations is not the end of Operation Sindoor. It is a pause. India holds the initiative. If provoked again, it will strike again.
This is deterrence restored. This is a new doctrine revealed. And it should be studied by all nations confronting the scourge of state-sponsored terrorism.
Operation Sindoor was a modern war—fought under the shadow of nuclear escalation, with global attention, and within a limited objective framework. And by every measure that matters, it was a strategic success—and a decisive Indian victory.

This time we see something something unimaginable. From opposition Tharoor, Abduallah and Owaisi were working to unite the opposition in interest of nation. They did not let discourse by Congressi, Muslim and Kashmiri turn detrimental.
To be honest they sabotaged "the sabotage" Rahul and ecosystem desired.

 

[TringTringMonster]

I propose we ban the word South Asia here. It's a term made up by Americunts to undermine India.

For me, it's Indian subcontinent.
