    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Here's the timeline to the best of my recollection (I'm doing this off memory so anyone can correct me if I made a mistake): The hitting of 9 terror facilities run by various designated groups was the initial round of attacks on the night of May 6-7. There is verifiable evidence of large-scale...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    That's the thing with relying on unnamed sources. You take the good with the bad. Ukraine's actions are/were being supported by an entire gamut of Western ISR capabilities (including Private ones acting on the directions of USG). This is not the case for India's actions...not to mention, I...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    At this point after extensive satellite imagery being made available, it now seems that other than Udhampur AFS in Kashmir, there is no clear evidence of Pakistani munitions causing any damage whatsoever at any Indian air base, period. Even the S400 base seems to be completely untouched contrary...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Interesting, snippets from the NYT report: Speaking of the Nur Khan base, it appears that the targets were not random logistics vehicles but rather Mobile Command Centres (with extendable cubicles deployed): That is extremely precise targeting & destruction. Also, it points to very...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Six radial vanes...that's clearly not an AL-31FP. I'll wait for official reports but right now this seems to be a Mirage-3/5 (operated only by PAF).

    Yeah those are faked images. PAF's own press release shows no damage to runway or any important buildings.

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Clearer sat images have started to emerge: The attacks seem tightly targeted - I'm pleasantly surprised by BrahMos' accuracy. Though it seems the runway-cratering was done by something else. What's more interesting is that there's a US DoE aircraft in Pakistan now. There's speculation...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Yep - Pakistan has launched fresh drone & artillery attacks all across the border. The ceasefire didn't last 3 hours :ROFLMAO:

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Haven't heard anything yet, though I doubt some of those claims. Destruction of an S400 battery/launcher, if true, cannot be hidden from satellite images. The system has a huge footprint. If the Govt officially announces Op. Sindoor as over, then they might start announcing what the losses &...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    Or maybe not...it seems the call from Pakistan's DGMO initiating ceasefire only came in the afternoon. But these strikes were probably done in the early hours of the day. US may have only played the role of a facilitator. We'll see...there's already reports of fresh firing at Akhnoor sector in...

    Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

    PAF Base Shahbaz (Jacobabad), before & after: Sargodha & Jacobabad...that's two of Pakistan's most important Air Bases that India has successfully struck (there are many more that were also attacked, like Nur Khan AFB, but these two are ~200 kms away from the border and used to be...

    The AAP-Wheeled indeed seems to be Kestrel 2.0 - the next generation of the platform that builds on all the knowledge gained & testing done so far (we have Army's IPMV order, BSF/CRPF orders & Moroccan order to thank for that). AAP-Tracked seems to be intended for the FICV requirement (BMP-2...

    The 'pause' has 'resumed'. The review process is over - they have concluded that NGAD in its current shape & size is indeed what's needed. That's what I'm telling you. This was early this month...

    No, these are official artist renders, courtesy USAF itself. There may be small changes in the production variant, but nothing major. The design is almost set in stone by this point. They've decided to go with the Penetrating Counter Air concept that they were working on all these years instead...
