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 that it may be there to scan for possible radiation leaks as two locations that are known to house Pakistani nuclear weapons were reportedly targeted (Nur Khan AFB as well as the Kirana Hills storage site near Sargodha).



I'm left to wonder if Indian attacks on Pakistani nuclear facilities was what finally brought about the ceasefire. I'm also left to wonder why we did that? Was Pakistan making moves to bring nukes into play and this was a warning shot?

You are damn good at explaining things, but all those small mini remarks put in between the explanations make it harder to understand 😅

Anyway, in this time and age. With what we've seen from Reapers, drones, ucav. Why would India use jets and such to hit buildings as first respons to get back at the terrorist organization that instigated the attack.

Wouldn't it have been better to use drones. Like what US, Turkey does to hunt down the perpetrators ?

I feel that the response was more like an angry reaction on what they could find immediately and hit.

While Pakistan has been at the receiving end of US Reaper like attacks, I don't remember seeing any such from India.

I have an issue as there is a 100% weight on a subject in my head and it comes out for 1% summary the way it does...the mind stream effect heh. I am very vision + audio oriented memory wise (it was super tough to summarise rolling thunder like that, and drown out the long convos "fluff" with older veterans etc. visuals and music I associate with the mindstream to degree needed for a summary)....so the words mirror way I have to try summarise all that heh. It would take a lot of effort to make things "purdee". "Hey I think im kinda purdee dont you" (mr sir in holes lol - fun movie).

As for the drones (A2G ordinance in one large ops wise), IAF doesn't have the requisite force level+intensity in that domain to deliver payloads against Pakistani IAD and CAP currently. I think Pakistan claims a heron shot down etc, so it would just be more of that likely without the wargamed+predicted delivery assurance on the hammer and scalp and other A2G that are fighter-based in IAF ORBAT.

USAF drones in western side of Pakistan theatre were:
a) in some state of cooperation with Pakistan as MNNA etc
b) Have far different scale and intensity to one in IAF, even back then
c) Pakistan IAD is very low there even if Pakistan did not enter into part (a)

Is it not a crime for an India-based space company to freely share satellite images of military bases in the country on Twitter?

Would a space company share images that highlight the negative aspects of its own country?

Pakistan is more than welcome to ask PRC (or commercial sat companies) to provide the same upon India....since Pakistan has no real space program to speak of itself.

Or simply the commercial sat intel (along with any debunking of fakes) comes out at the rate it does anyway.

Let's get as much objective OSINT out there. Then cross-analyse.

There was a funeral of a Squadron leader in PAF as well from one of these AFB strikes by India.

This news article says more than just that Sq. Leader, i.e "4 other AF personnel". Others carry even higher numbers. We will have to wait and see.

Pakistan Air Force Spokesperson Aurangzeb Ahmed:

▪️We redirected many Brahmos missiles fired by India to different routes with our domestic electronic warfare systems.

▪️In fact, it is seen here; some of the Brahmos changed direction and went as far as the Afghan border.

▪️I can summarize the air combat as follows: We defeated them 6-0.
