Just imagine the state of affairs about the availability and maintainability of their remaining Erieyes and F-16s who now can not receive deep maintenance as conveniently as they earlier could. Not to mention the hangar probably also had spare engines and LRUs as these are certainly not just basic aircraft shelters.
They probably got their reality check that no place is safe in their fauji banana republic and anything, anywhere and anytime can be fired at them and there's little they can intercept.
We probably used not even 1% of our BrahMos stockpile in Op Sindoor. Maybe 4% of IAF's ALCM versions and maybe ~2% of annual installed production capacity.
Hundreds more of them to be ordered.
What's our end goal,
As per the parliament resolution 1994, the entirety of J&K is integral part of India,
Do we want to integrate the rest of the land or we gonna degrade the Pakistan military capability,
To achieve either of those we will have to win the ground action,
As it's not gonna be small conflict as it was in may,
In May our objective was to strike the terror camps inside Pakistan & POK, we achieved those objectives, rest of the strikes were retaliation for Pakistan actions,
But this time it won't be a limited action as pakistan military is legitimate & primary Targets and the strikes on terror groups didn't deter or degrade Thier capabilities,
Pakistani military personnels are more lunatic, even if we take out the airforce, they still would have the missile launchers, artillery & MLRS, drones, and the endless supplier China,
We have to cut the connection, it also implies our roads & bridges and tunnels Will be also legitimate Targets for them in the war,
Cities Will be targeted, industrial infrastructure, adminstration, Power grids, water resources,
And the ground action will face the threat of PFV drones, missile and other threats,
The country needs to be prepared for loss, as we Will face some serious losses to achieve those objectives,
And the threats are bigger, India have to up the war time productivity & resources, as a one we have to fight,
And We have to show no mercy or remorse, we can't achieve those objectives without flattening what's is present in the other side if we want the losse to be minimal,
What will be our real objectives? The political beaureau ( all the parties) need to have clear goal, can't change them like the orange men midway,
