Air Engagement of Operation Sindoor : Analysis

With the Rafale as it is, every six months we carry out a ‘Poker’ exercise, which consists of simulating a nuclear raid against targets defended by SAMs and an air force. There is a classic part that involves clearing all threats on the trajectory of the aircraft carrying the nuclear weapon (SAMs, radar, AWACS, fighters, etc.) and the nuclear strike that follows. This is much more challenging than attacking bases near the Indian border. So we don't understand.

We are only going by what Vstol claimed, that Rafales were "intercepted" in some way that prevented them from carrying out their mission.
We don't even know if the rafale was lost due to a munition or due to an accident. Without any communication that's hard to know.
We also know that Some bhramos were used but we don't know if no scalp were used. At the ENd of the days Rafale and MKI were used in conjonction quite everry day. This is not a success for just one or the other. Without one or the other Pakistani could perhaps have found better effective solutions. But with so many different tactics and doctrines used together it was to hard.

The good tactic was to use use rafale and MKI together.

What have also been mastered is the high tempo of operations, just better enough so that the Pakistani were not ready in time to go in fly to intercept other incoming flights.

We are not talking about any air loss, but the potential interception of the Rafale when it operated close to the border. Vstol said MKIs bailed out intercepted Rafales. But of course, we have no idea about what actually happened. We are taking Vstol for his word here.

Is @vstol Jockey Pakistani? :ROFLMAO:
 
Informed about things when he was in service. If he knows about current conflict details thats a big issue.
No, that's how things take place. Most details percolate through people that have served in the armed forces after the conclusion of the Ops. Now how much they can reveal depends upon OPSEC SOPs!
Retired people are loudmouths looking for relevance. His level of access is limited to his batch-mates. No need to simp over them.
All retired armed forces folks are loudmouths? Don't measure all of them in the same vein. As it stands, Vstol is awesome. Anyways, it is far better to be a loudmouth than being a sarcastic and pessimistic person. Hope you catch the drift;)

Vstol + gangajal gives you whatever you want. He still believes there was no loss of aircraft.

Continue being delusional and stop thinking.
 
There are only two plausible explanations here........ either the Rafale wasn’t the “magic churan” it was made out to be by fanboys and paid bots over the past six years, or the Rules of Engagement were deliberately crafted by MEA bureaucrats to project Vishwaguru-style moral posturing ....... the kind that insists, “we will only strike terrorists & not the Pakistani military, saar.”

The MEA’s initial press briefing, laced with nari shokti virtue signaling, was a clear giveaway. In all likelihood, it was a combination of both factors.

Unfortunately, Pakistan has done exactly what one would expect in such a scenario ....... capitalized on the indecisiveness and moral grandstanding of Indian decision-makers
