Operation Sindoor: Aftermath

Just my 2 Cents

I don't know about other military enthusiasts BUT
The more I think about this conflict , I feel sad about the Things that WE DID NOT DO , or could have done before ceasefire

Suppose we had caused them more damage , and then credited Trump with ceasefire , at least we would have been more satisfied right now about really hurting the enemy

Trump only cares for a Fake Sense of Importance and attention ie he is a Drama queen

Look How PUTIN played him by going to Alaska

And is still hammering Ukraine

That is just what I feel

Can't. Indian politics doesn't allow any kind of meddling in indo-pak relationship. And we ourselves won't like it.

Neither would've anyone expected Trump will get so desperate and idiotic

IMO, the operation was a success considering the evidence that has been presented so far. 150 plus casualty figures which have now been verified by multiple OSINT accounts and a few Pakistani newspapers themselves have sealed the deal for me.

I can understand where you are coming from. However, there is very little you hold in terms of leverage. The Russian Federation is vastly different compared to India all the way from resources to political clout.

India has taken a high-road approach. This was the term that a few diplomats, who have retired, wrote. They stated that an open conflict with clear effort and results is better for the long term. IWT abeyance would not have been possible if any other country from the West were to act as the mediator or a broker.

While I agree, that a greater target selection and operational freedom would have been ideal, I still do not understand what has happened in the background (as I am a civilian).

It would be easy to chastise the forces or MoD, in this case I do not have much to say really. Asset losses are a part of war so I have no reason to crib. The results presented, in terms of satellite images, should let a sane/calm individual do their own assessment. A successful operation is just that - successful. You can impose your own parameters but that does not change the results.
 
There are lot of military related infrastructure in BLR. I do think Pak has enough of 2000 KMs + missiles to hit those. During last conflict, a lot was said about drones being manufactured in BLR etc (something that shouldn’t have come out, in my opinion) — plus you have the HAL infrastructure in BLR. But I do get your point about India thinking these as nuclear strikes which in my opinion was possible for the stuff that was intercepted over Sirsa (some say it was CM-400, while others don’t categorically say anything). I remember IA mentioning “Shaheen” in the “list of weapons Pak used” during Sindoor in some presentation — so ideally, we didn’t know if that was nuke or not as well.
They don't, they probably have 50 or so Shaheens and Ghauris and Shaheens CEP is +100 meter so it's not accurate enough to hit and destroy specific facilities unless launched en masse which Pak can't do. Ghauri has even worse accuracy. Hende, strikes on BLR and HYD are unlikely. Only way BLR and HYD will be attacked is in case of nuclear war.

They will try to launch mass attack against Delhi for sure however.
 
no differentiation between Pak military and terrorists going forward & there was a note of emphasis on this. I am not sure, but, I got the feeling that this was part of a broader messaging from the establishment in light of the present situation — FAFO. I am curious if others felt this as well!

I think Pakistan is not getting second chance. Because it is no more Pakistan's military calling the shots. Every one knows who is behind them. And it is a threat to economy of India.
 
IAF 2 days back mentioned about attacks on Rahwali (Gujranwala Cantt) next to DC Colony on 8th May which was earlier not disclosed, so it seems this is what happened there. At least one of missiles seems to have got intercepted, with an HQ-16 debris also found close by, which was earlier speculated to be some random drone interception.





I hope it was a success and they release some media files regarding it and other previously not mentioned attacks.

The opening salvo in any skirmish/war is a clear give away of what is the intended aim of it. In future if IAF and IN go all out in the opening salvo, this will mean, total disintigeration of Pak.

Given the unprecedented number of NOTAMs (for Exercises and Missile tests, including declaration of tests by SFC) being issued by India, and similar stuff from Pakistan, what’s your take on the current situation? Do you see the balloon going up in recent future ? How do you see Munir reacting the drubbing that he received during Op Sindoor?

Sindoor bore lessons for both sides. Critical lessons.

Both sides are trying to absorb them at rapid pace knowing quite well that a single spark will trigger a firestorm.

Pak needs to restore is image - all the BS aside, Pak didnt hit anything of value with its drones/rockets. India decided what flew in Pak and what didnt

India needs to finish a job after projecting the strongman image. Neither side has any room for a concession now.
