As shared by @South block earlier, this actually was an opportunity to leak some claims with actual IMINT, SIGINT, ELINT data about sites destroyed (unclaimed) as well as float claims about some aircrafts destroyed. This to be honest was a full toss that was begging to be hit.
Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Terroist Camps Inside Pakitsan
- Thread starter Defc0n
- Start date
The losses that India had were expected. "Political leadership imposed certain constraints that did not allow us to attack military establishment or the enemy air defences on the 1st day of the operation". This comes straight from the Captain Shiv Kumar.
Continuing from this, I really hope our forces are allowed the operational freedom if/when the second round.
We don’t need our forces to fight with their one hand tied.
I can understand why the leadership did tie their hands. However, then the outcome will always leave a sour taste and Pakistan will seize the opportunity to do propaganda. This is consistent across the MENA region as well as the entire South as well South East Asia. This is how you deal with conventionally superior nations. See how Iran is parading around claiming victory after OP Rising Lion. VLO aircrafts, BVR, and SEAD is the only way to do surgical strikes without suffering losses. If the political leadership of India is serious about doing such operations in future, it needs to invest a lot in IAF (it will lead to minimum risk). SEAD has to be done if you will raid enemy bases close to the IB with munitions like Hammer. Also, I can now imagine what kind munition specs those Aircrafts were running. Engagement constraints are now clear as day. MoD as well as the Govt. can no longer deny that it had a role in what happened. Those tactics were not inferior rather there were OP freedom denials imposed on the strike force.
I am waiting for the second round for exactly this reason. By now the operational cost and niggles are crystal Lear to every one and their grandmother! I really want to see IAF perform a massive SEAD/DEAD followed by total paralysis of PAF by targeting their bases - and this time, render them inoperable in a way where they need to build those from scratch! I am afraid the window of opportunity is not that large as monsoon will make life bit difficult (in my opinion), experts can chime in here.
Let’s not leave anything to chance this time, action should speak louder than words and allow Pak no off-ramp and chance to set any narrative!

The PM has already made it clear during his speech at Adampur airbase that India will not differentiate between terrorists and their sponsors or masterminds and will treat them with same yardstick.
Pretext for what’s to come? Do you see any official announcement on this ? I can’t find any.

Probably but, for that I'll need a confirmation about whether it's an official statement or not.
+ The probability definitely rises but, it won't be the first time for them to be accusing us for a terrorist attack that stems from their own shenanigans that's why can't say with 100% certainty.
Pakistan will also be better prepared for the second round and they might do some damage. But I hope after second round the boundaries of Pakistan will be permanently changed.I am waiting for the second round for exactly this reason.

Not a wide spread flood, just a flash flood happened in pakistan KPK region, like the incompetent army & Govt they have, they let the whole family stranding in heavy flood and let them die, a single helicopter could have saved them, nor like they didn't had time it's complete negligence
