Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

They have the bragging rights because they scored good hits visible through satellites. All the more reason to inflict that '60-0 score' and ask questions later, next time.....

I don't fault them for bragging about being able to hit buildings, hangars and runways on the airbases but these are static locations not too far from the border.

That was due to (imo) the work-in-progress nature of PAF's AD setup which is already being rectified. I believe they will have much lower hit rate in a future conflict if they use the same weapons, which they probably will because they need decades to induct anything.

On the flip side, they can't shoot anything down and lost at least 4 jets in one night achieving some of these hits. I don't think that is an acceptable attrition even for them.

The attrition was quite acceptable to them as they were willing to deescalate the moment they completed the bombing, they even communicated as such but Pakistan refused. I have explained in other posts why the Air chief did not down all of the IAF package, and that harsh economic attrition needs to inflicted on Indians next time they try something. They only understand numbers, economic loss should be greater than the political mileage they get out of such attacks to deter them.
