Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Terroist Camps Inside Pakitsan

The Pakistan Ministry of Defense has released many satellite photos of Indian air force bases, but I cannot publish them on this forum.
After all, this will 100% be considered as Pakistani propaganda.

ISRO must laughing.

Here Indians are operating over 100 satellites and that beggar Pakistan having no satellite or hardly one donated satellite released the satellite imagery, you nuts or what?

Well, most of the Indian forums have this view. I have no desire to defend myself. Two years ago, when I emphasized PL15, its two-way data link and active-passive composite guidance head, no Indian cared. Today, it is the same. If I explain the performance of HQ9B, no Indian will believe it.

You can sit in the gaps of our collective ignorance due to lack of data on the performance of the HQ-9. But Pak's other Chinese defenses like HQ-16 and FM-90 failed to intercept drones and missiles. The IAF got through all of Pakistan's and China's defenses without using saturation attacks.
 
I have no intention of arguing.
My opinion is that when we discuss this issue, how many missiles Pakistan launched? India launched obviously more than Pakistan.
How many air defense systems does Pakistan have? According to public information, there are six HQ16s and two HQ9s, which are not enough to cover all important targets. According to Pakistan, India launched about 100 BrahMos and the same number of Storm Shadows.
Pakistan's problem is that it bought too many Saab AWACS,
You have no way to command the air defense system to conduct a unified interception operation through early warning aircraft
Pakistan lacks the depth of China's air defenses.
Without early warning, the interception window of air defense missiles is very short

Pakistan used hundreds of drones, even CMs and BMs. India used only a few drones, missiles, and bombs. All the sat pics have been made available, so you can count them yourself.

We have seen videos where single Harop drones could penetrate Pak defenses.
 
There is no justification for not procuring additinal phalcon awacs.

I think there's actually a good reason for why we never exercised the option for +2 more that existed in original deal.

I don't know the specifics but I think there are some limitations wrt what the Phalcon is able to network & cooperatively engage with. I don't know if this is a problem that's fixable down the line or not.

But there's a reason why we seem intent on Netra Mk-1A & Mk-2 but haven't shown any interest in additional Phalcons.
 
No no, I mean that thing is inside the rd 33 engine, look carefully at the photo I posted
View attachment 43221

There are 6 spikes that connect the sides to the center. It looks the same as the Atari engine. Plus you can see the fuselage skin layered on top of the engine.

We currently have 3 losses with disputable proof. 1 M2000 and 1 Rafale, both without wreckage pics. And 1 potential Mig-29 with a potential wreckage, but could also be a drone. None of them have come with wreckage pics to date.

This new one was confirmed by the IA to be a Mirage III/V.

There were no IL-76 airframes left, and the ones that did had to be rebuilt, Vikramaditya style, so more money. So the choice was between waiting for IL-476 with Phalcon and A330 with indigenous radar, and we chose the A330. DRDO has a veto on such things. But even the A330 got delayed 'cause we were busy building this advanced IADS and C2 network, while others were claiming the govt had no money for defense modernization.

Netra series became important 'cause they are cheap and a lot of money is now being spent on a space network to compensate for capablity deficiencies the Netras will have. The A330 version is gonna come too, but at a later date.
 
As expected Trump is trying squeeze India on trade. US or china , there is not much difference, they will make deals among themselves and leave us high & dry. QUAD is another garbage which was now where to be found. Better to continue strategic autonomy rather than align with west on china.


I'd ignore such silly black and white views.
