Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

Even in 2019 : Pakistan couldn't prove su30 downing... Neither India couldn't prove F16 downing.


Same story in 2025.


Pak. didnt need to prove:

1. IAF shot its helo
2. Abhinandan broke instruction bec. of sudden comms 'failure'!

for a primary school kid, things need to be explained!
 
It never was supposed to reach that stage. Which is why India are happily harping on the success of Brahmos.

In this case, Pakistan surely was blindsided here because they did not anticipate such a response. Pakistan should have anticipated this and to me, it was a grave error. While India was certainly in their rights to use them, it shows desperation on their end to act on their egos and win the escalation. Brahmos can carry nuclear weapons, and using such a missile runs that risks of igniting a nuclear holocaust in the region.

While we could have done better on that end, I am glad Pakistan learnt it's lessons and established the ARFC. This separates the nuclear tipped missiles from the conventional ones, essentially allowing us to retaliate should India uses Brahmos again.

Hopefully Pakistan is continuously upgrading is doctrine to meet the ever evolving situation. This year may be Brahmos, and for all you know India may start using it's Agni series without the mating of its nuclear systems in the next conflict.
I cannot say India were within their rights to use them, it of course makes no sense to go after conventional military targets for a counter terrorism operation. Remember the Indians are happy to call this a skirmish when it was meant to be a swift in and out.

To that extent Pakistan could not have done too much about the brahmos, and India has revealed it

Now Pakistan can upgrade to the best Chinese systems and apparently tested hypersonic. And India can continue to avoid China by doubling down on Pakistan

Iran hosted its first Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) military training exercise, called Sahand 2025, in early December 2025. It was a five-day counterterrorism drill in East Azerbaijan Province, involving multiple SCO member including Pakistan and India. Pakistan army trained Indian army in CounterTerrorism.

Did the Pakistan Army train the Indian Army in CounterTerrorism?

There is no mention of this in the reports from China, Iran or other SCO members,



 
A very thoughtful comment! So there IS a trust gap and the citizens of Pakistan do not trust their armed forces in a conflict with Pakistan.
Do you think such a trust gap will be advantageous to the enemy in a situation where a breakthrough happens and either large portions of Pakistani territory come under enemy occupation or entire armed forces establishment collapses Pakistan and comes under enemy occupation?

It has happened to other countries. There was a trust gap between the Iraqi people and the Saddam Husain regime and the Iraqi defense apparatus dissolved very quickly in the face of an external incursion. The partisan resistance was sporadic with the Shia population collaborating with the occupation and the Sunni population opposing it.
Could this happen to Pakistan? Would an invasion and occupation of Pakistan be resisted by a divided population that no longer trusts its own defense establishment?

I am not suggesting such ominous events are inevitable The time to ask such questions is now and we must think the unthinkable.

I don't think it is going to be advantageous to India, as the trust gap b/w the citizens (not all) and the PA is related to authenticity of information and governance. In case of the hypothetical ominous scenario, there is more likelihood that the trust gap may put India at a disadvantage with more independent and fierce civil defense.

However, this fault line is what I had mentioned earlier that India will try to exploit further, but we have already discussed that in your previous posts.
 
Will Pakistan do something about this? Don't be hopeless, we should provide solutions to every citizen!

Let's analyze it with another perspective

Indians conducted operation sindoor to convey the message that India would conduct strikes inside Pakistan whenever there is any terror or militant attack in India or in Iok

Pakistan did its own operation Bunyan marsoos with objective that it won't let Indian strikes unanswered and India would be hit back

Now we had this bomb blast right at Delhi red fort with fatalities in double digit and casualties in dozens

India didn't do any strike inside Pakistan after it. There was not even any talk of strike against Pakistan on BJP owned Indian media. Now Indians can give us bullshit excuse that we don't have enough proofs after Delhi blasts to hit Pakistan but we all know that is nonsense. India never had any proof after Pahalgam attack but government lackey media accused Pakistan within thirty minutes of the attack and started talking about attacking Pakistan within an hour

What changed this time? The answer to this question tells us who succeeded in the four day round in may despite Pakistan wasted time in the name of restraint and allowed India to regroup and attack again. No pothole on some runaway from 10th may can change the fact that India didn't hit Pakistan after Delhi blasts and that shows how successful its adventure in may turned out for it
 
No one really cares about whatever you think about Field Marshal Asim Munir, it's your opinion and right. But you seem to be out of your mind regarding what I said.

I just pointed out that your claim "Asim isn't even a COAS as he completed tenure on Nov 27." doesn't hold the ground. Gen. Gen. Asim Munir automatically got his tenure extended to five years after the previous constitutional amendment. As many people with legal background have pointed out that no new notification was required after he completed the first three years as COAS.

After the latest constitutional amendment passed by the Pakistan's parliament, FM Asim Munir is now the COAS and CDF for five years anew.

Of course you can differ with my opinion but your knee jerk reaction was uncalled for.
Whatever made you think I care about your praises for a self felatio filled douche bag is nothing but a hogwash.
 
As per indians Taliban have done something which even IAF couldn't do

Ashkit for PM is the next election.
 
Agree again. We DO need to tweak the nuclear doctrine and make it more ambiguous. In the short term it won't make India's perception any different, but it will make the international community more concerned about the increased risk of nuclear escalation, and hopefully will pressure India to stop an unprovoked aggression.

I believe you were referring to the post below.

Part 2 of the third scenario:
I am currently researching the 1987 Operation Brasstacks, because a revamped version of that is likely being planned with much more modern equipment and resources.
Operationally India would strike at three major points along the International Border hitting the Multan DIK axis. India would aim to cut off Lahore from Karachi and capturing the highway and rail links effectively splitting Pakistan into two sections . This would also isolate Azad Kashmir. The land invasion would be the second phase of the war.
Of course prior to such action a naval blockade, destruction of the Pakistan Navy, SEAD and destruction of the Pakistan Air Force would have to be achieved.

In the earlier version of Operation Brasstacks the objective was to get Pakistan to vacate Azad Kashmir,sign a humiliating surrender, and a Versailles treaty like Armistice with limitations on its armed forces ( essentially reducing them to a police force). Pakistan would be existing as a protectorate colony of India like Bhutan. Note that Operation Brasstacks was essentially secular and no large scale slaughter of Pakistani civilians was envisaged. The civilian population was expected to remain untouched so that a partisan resistance movement doesn't emerge.
The revamped version of Operation Brasstacks which is currently being planned is operationally similar, but has much deeper ideological religious and vengeance aspects. Essentially after the military victory, a wholesale slaughter and depopulation of Pakistan is planned as well as the assimilation of Pakistani territory and repopulation by Indians from Northern India.
This may sound fantastic but such population replacements have been done elsewhere such as in Western Ukraine which was Polish and in what is known today as Kaliningrad. The territory of Kaliningrad was known as Koenigsberg a German majority city in the region of East Prussia. The population was killed or displaced by the Soviet Union and Poland and today Kaliningrad is a Russian majority region and officially part of Russia. India has a much larger massacre and displacement of population planned for Pakistan in a 5 year project. If it happens this will go down as the largest massacre in human history.

Practically looking at it, there is a very slim chance for this due the current near equivalence of military firepower b/w the two countries for the opening phase of any total war.

They can't take us by surprise because of our diligent ISR. Cold Start and Land Bridges are near obsolete under the modern day surveillance.

The best low risk opening hand they have is a missile barrage (Cold Strike) but that takes the conflict from 0-100 on Nuclear Threshold within the first few minutes.

The next best opening hand they have is an all out aeriel invasion but that is extremely high risk, the odds don't favor them establishing air superiority without losing a major chunk of their air force, and if gets into a grind (which is more likely) then it's a very long drawn out war which doesn't favor India even in the event of eventual military victory because it'll come at the cost of their economy - which if doesn't collapse entirely will be weakened to a point where they are defenseless against China for the next few decades.

The only practical low risk strategy available to them is already in play i.e. keep the Western Border engaged and support other insurgencies from inside with the goal of weakening Pakistan's economy again so India can take lead in the arms race once again and try something when they have a clear tech advantage e.g. India's own Satellite Linked C2 Mesh.

PS: we are helping them out on this strategy via current political instability and economic grind 🥲

PPS: They can take their chances with the likes of Op Enduring Freedom and try to create an Air Bridge to Islamabad LOL - there were recent SM posts about India conducting Paratroopers Training 😂

The war on this forum
Friends,
Don't know if this is the right place to make an off topic post such as this, but I couldn't find an appropriate thread to send this message. The mods (@Fatman17, @Oscar ) can delete this message hopefully after you have read it. I will take the warnings with a pinch of snuff,

Basically I am going on a long Sabbatical and won't be posting any messages for an extended duration, and hopefully permanently. I say "hopefully permanently" because I will only return if unfortunately another war is unleashed on us by our enemy.
At this point I have very little to contribute to this forum. That could change if the predictions of the unfortunate war in the future come true.
My last post:(Hopefully my very last ) :
Here I am addressing the status of the members from our enemy country, to whom we have graciously given space to air their views. This despite the fact that a reciprocal courtesy is not granted to us on enemy defense forums. This is not surprising because our enemy does not even grant space to its own citizens ( identified by religion) to speak, and there are dire consequences for them if they do so, I will not comment on why the enemy members are given so much space here. That is the decision of the administrators of this forum.
Regardless, our courtesy to our guests remains, but as one who are intimately familiar with the enemy culture, ideology, milieu, mindset I do wish to repeat what I have already said elsewhere in a summary:
1. A polite demeanor, proficiency in English and a meticulous writing style, belies the true character of the enemy members here. It is unfortunate that most of our countrymen are ignorant of the "national language " vernacular in use in the enemy country. Reading and understanding messages in that language in their social media will reveal a very different, vulgar, revolting and evil mindset of the majority population. The guest members on this forum are exactly the same as their vernacular language counterparts. .
2. The enemy guest members are obviously representative of the population of their country which would be 85% . There are NO minority or politically dissenting enemy members amongst the guests here, The enemy guest members hate us and wish our total annihilation.
3. All enemy guest members here are paid operatives from IT cells funded and managed by the government backed so called "cultural " organizations. I have listed these multiple times in my previous posts. They co-ordinate closely in a group communicating via their mobile phones, tablets, and computers. Each post and response is carefully weighted proof read by the group and uploaded with immediate support from other group members. The enemy guest members are not individuals but well organized groups. The objective is psychological warfare to demoralize the younger members on this forum.
4. The biggest lie being peddled by the enemy guest members is that the impediment to peace is the actions ( "terrorism" ) by the Pakistani Armed Forces and if the Pakistani Armed Forces are weakened or better still defeated and annihilated somehow peace would prevail. Pakistan is the cause of hatred and war and the enemy is a "peaceful democratic" nation.
5. We all long for peace but the grim reality is that we are currently in the midst of "pause" in a generational war that will resume with the utmost savagery. Not many of us will live to see the end of this final conflict.

I think the mods will allow me to retain my membership so I will continue reading your posts, Thank you for your support and "likes" . I hope I do not have to return here to fight the enemy propaganda in the next war,
Once again thanks for your support, Take care.
