Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Terroist Camps Inside Pakitsan

My “answer” is that the Rafale is evolving and that, obviously, we can't say that the Rafale as it was yesterday is good for countering today's threats. We've evolved. We're going to evolve further with the F5 standard", thanks to feedback, including from the IAF, said Mr. Trappier. He concluded: the Rafale “is not necessarily better than all Russian aircraft or all Chinese aircraft, although for Chinese aircraft, the answer is yes”:chirolp_iei:

Su-30MKI proved the real combat ace of this war against Pak. Rafale did encounter some problems but did hold its own. Su-30MKI + Rafale combo has proved very good for us. MKI's performance in this war was so superlative that now IAF wants Su-57. GOI is now actively looking to work a favourable deal with the Russians.

Rafale F5, on the other hand, should win MRFA as F-35 Block-4 is now out thanks to US playing dirty with us. In the meantime, we could order 54 Rafale F4.s for IAF within this decade itself.

I haven't seen any report one SU-30 MKi and at least one was lost.
It was the ONLY frontline jet of ours which defeated all PL-15s and HQ-9Bs. Just draw your conclusion;)

PS: Our Defence Secretary also lauded BrahMos as our game-changing weapon during the latest Ops. Only BrahMos-A were used against PAF airbases and nuke sites which can ONLY be fired from MKIs. Got the gist;)

This acceptance by Dassault Chief that Rafale is "not necessarily" better than Russian fighters(after taking feedback from IAF), is a clear indication of MKI's superlative performance during the Ops:

It's either Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Realistically, Pakistan has not recovered from the 1.0 strikes, I am not entirely sure what they are playing at here. They do realise that any attack on India will be met with disproportionate force and they have seen what we are capable of even while maintaining restraint. Pakistanis are weirdos but if they do initiate the second round or some how forces India’s hand for 2.0 - they have to be the morons of a different kind. I also wonder, if and when the balloon n goes up, what will be the strategic objectives of Pak this time, just crippling of our mil-infra similar to what we did to them or something larger? What are the chances of Pak activating their proxies within India (sleeper cells) to make it more difficult ?

Doesn’t that make you wonder what’s the source of their bluster?

There is a long play here perhaps.
 
Guys;

War is no fun, and Pak has big military. 0.5 in India is dangerous. Let there be no war for next 20 years.

Modi also believes, it is not era of war.
India doesn't wanna fight but if other party is hell bent on conflict, nothing much can be done. Non violence is OK with reasonable guys, not with lunatics whom sole purpose is to pull you in to trouble.

they will try & probe us again , we need to punch them more harder and cause more economic damage. If we fail to respond strongly they will continue their shenanigans. Just like we say it is a long game , so do they. They will keep attacking us all the time probing for weakness.

Best thing for us is provide more support for anti-pakistani elements like afghanistan or insurgents and keep them engaged.

Pakistan doesn’t gain much by just “Probing”, especially in the context of what happened in May. The only way forward for them is to strike first and a decisive blow that will create operational issues for our airforce similar to what we did to them. However, there seems to be something else going on as there is no way Pak has recovered from Sindoor 1.0! Theoretically, Pakistan should have taken its time before starting its shenanigans, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Also makes me wonder as to what were the terms of the ceasefire between Pak and India.

they will keep increasing the stake to check to our redlines. Most of the time due economic or internal politics , we dont respond strongly.

They will always maintain the bluff & bluster , even if we grind them to the ground. Its their bread & butter, if they dont they will be eaten by their own proxies. Current ceasefire looks like a tacit unwritten understanding not to escalate further for the time being, it gives them a lot breathing space to replenish & get support from allies. Iran factor does seem to be pretty strong here as well, israel & US would have planned it long time back.
