Operation Sindoor: Aftermath
- Thread starter Defc0n
- Start date
Let's not learn the wrong lessons from this. For next conflict we need mass and SAM canister depth. Lets prepare for that.
Double that number must be fired within a few hours rather than days to achieve shock and awe. Which means a combined ground and air missile attack.

We should now have a thread to analyse shortcomings of this Operation. For example here they say "less than 50 weapons fired" now this idk includes in entire conflict or just on 9th/10th. Rest, what do they call a "weapon". Because I can count around 30 missiles and bombs being fired at pakistan captured on camera including the attacks which apparently failed/terminated midway. So one can speculate other targets weren't hit, like Rafiqui, Rahwali, Nayachor and some other sites in Jacobabad airbase (a brahmos wreckage was found outside).

The Harop attacks on 8th however successful, were unable to hit a lot of targets, especially the ones fired at Karachi.
lol, US was butt hurt because of this?
IAF reveals sat pics of its successful targeting of the power supply center and node of Pakistan Air Force's Jacobabad base (PAF Shahbaz) with deep penetration munitions, causing total power loss to the entire air base, which hosts two PAF F-16 squadrons incl a Blk-52+ sqn (pic 2 for ref)
Our offensive drone swarms were limited in nature. Especially Autonomous swarms. We need swarms which can work as a single organ for next conflict. To penetrate airspace and destroy targets.
Like there are companies and battalions in IA.. we need a full company/team of drones dedicated to a single target. Multiple such units penetrating at once.. even more important on eastern flank as it can reduce cost and increase operational efficiency needing less deployment.
Drone production should be in Mass with every drone marked with laser encryption for our AD to identify friendly units.
We should go with a multiple-canister-based launcher like the Aster 30/ Iron Dome, May be a canister of 10/20/30 missiles on a truck of Akash NG and QRSAM against a saturation missile attack.

Interesting… I am now even more curious about the gallantry awards that our ParaSF got!!
They released the partial video of drone attack on Bhimber. It's interesting that they are holding back so many videos and details and releasing them only now. It seems the scale of our strikes was way beyond what we have seen through commercial sat imagery which only provide images of what you ask for.
We fired less than 3 lakh rounds of mortar, artillery and rocket arty combines in 80 days of Kargil war afaik
This is more than double the intensity.

Maintainance engineers from Lockheed might have perished, the reason for angry uncle sam.
The Harop drones were extremely successful but I read somewhere that the IAF used almost their entire inventory of it in the 4 days. Just another reminder of the limits of imported weapons . We need to mass produce these in house .
To begin with IAF had only 200 in the inventory
Adani already has a license to produce them locally, also we now have alternatives in form of the NewSpace offerings.
Less of a lesson and more of an opportunity.
A greater participation from Pinaka as well as MGS is what I would expect in the next event or conflict. It would provide an opportunity to learn and improve both of these. It is a pity that the MGS has not been inducted into the IA.
