Live Conflict Pakistan-India Conflict (2025)

India retaliating against Pakistan retaliation?

Previously India said they didnt target Pakistan military and didnt want to escalate, it seems that India really care about losing those fighters although dont want to admit it, thus now risking escalation.

Did Pakistan retaliation towards India caused heavy damage to India? No right?

It’s about not backing down. It’s a war of attrition. Pak wanted to attack military installations so they were replied in kind. Pakistan has never sent jets inside Indian territory either. Not now, now in Kargil in ‘99, not in 2019. It’s obvious who is afraid to lose fighters. At the end of the day, India has more resources.

It’s obvious who is afraid to lose fighters.

And now India use missiles and drones, no longer dared to use fighters.

At the end of the day, India has more resources.

True.

So it's about inflicting as much damage before ceasefire ?

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 considered 'safe').

What's more - going by the photos & videos of fresh smoke emerging from the bases, it appears they were actually struck during the DAY. The strikes must have likely been following up after an extensive SEAD/DEAD campaign targeting the Air Defences of these bases, which must have transpired the previous night.

Otherwise, successful attacks on such highly defended bases during daylight hours would have been impossible.

Till this point, it seems India is still only sending very measured, calibrated responses to Pakistani provocations - sending the message that no Air Base of Pakistan is out of reach for India's missile arsenal.

These small volleys of perhaps 2-3 missiles per base that India is now launching can easily be supplanted with salvos of a dozen or more - which an already weakened Pakistani AD would be in no position to hold off.

Every single Pakistani military asset contained in these bases is that close to being a permanent write-off.

Any way, by tomorrow we should be getting high-res satellite images showing the extent of damage to critical bases like Sargodha, Jacobabad & Bholari.

Seems that way.

So,does India confirm the Rafale and S-400 loss?

Seems that way.

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 J&K. The ceasefire may have already been broken (would depend on what the terms were...cessation of only missile/air strikes would mean artillery/small arms exchange -- which is more or less normal at the LoC -- would continue).

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 & damages were.
