1. Has nuclear detterance failed? What is the threshold of nuclear approach? Cruise missiles have hit Pakistan proper now. It's not just surgical strikes in the past.Major problems for Pakistan are:
1. Has nuclear detterance failed? What is the threshold of nuclear approach? Cruise missiles have hit Pakistan proper now. It's not just surgical strikes in the past.
In a full fledged war India due to its geography and size would have the strategic advantage and calling the nuclear bluff could be the decisive aspect.
Imagine something on the level of Operation Brasstacks by India.
2. What about IWT? Another major thing in this conflict was the abeyance of IWT by India.
3. Pakistan has been reactionary in this skirmish, so it's effectively India controlling the escalation ladder, what do you think about that?
4. India due to its large size/economy would have a easier time replenishing and rearming. Rafales are 4.5 gen fighters just like any other fighter, they're not the decisive card as they are hyped to me. It's just jingoism.
These are just some of my observations, i might be biased yeah but that's a given on both sides.
My major concern was if neelum jehlum hydro was under attack, what did we do to reciprocate that action??1. Has nuclear detterance failed? What is the threshold of nuclear approach? Cruise missiles have hit Pakistan proper now. It's not just surgical strikes in the past.
Nuclear deterrence has a very high threshold and comes into play if Pakistan is on the verge of being destroyed. Indian attacks on Pakistan proved insignificant, even the million dollar cruise missiles only destroyed civilian mosques and bruised a few airbases.
What about IWT? Another major thing in this conflict was the abeyance of IWT by India.
Violating an international treaty on top of UN security council resolutions on Kashmir makes India the rogue actor. It will affect Indian agreements with other countries as well as they have seen India is unreliable.

India was threatening another "Op Brasstacks" after the first day. Pakistan defied both Indian threates and international diplomatic pressure from GCC/West to launch its retaliatory strikes on India, delivering a reality shock to Indian jingoists and causing India to seek a diplomatic offramp.
Pakistani establishment was a bit too "restrained" in my opinion and should have hit India harder after the first day rather than waiting for several days.
4. India due to its large size/economy would have a easier time replenishing and rearming. Rafales are 4.5 gen fighters just like any other fighter, they're not the decisive card as they are hyped to me. It's just jingoism.
Indian losses in the war with Pakistan were close to a billion dollars for its Air Force/AD alone. Pakistan did not suffer such magnitude of loss. An extended war with Pakistan means India will not be able to attract the manufacturing from China, an objective of the West and the reason for its investments in India.
Localized Sd10 modified for Shorad with both Active Radar & RF/IR seekerAren't they BVRs??
Indians should only try to absorb this one fact that Indians utilized their best equipment: Rafales, S-400, Brahmos.
Pakistan mostly relied on JF-17s and Fatah missiles. The one time it used J-10C, 3 Rafales bit the dust. The one time it used C-400, the S400 got taken out.. In the next two days of utter humiliation, India resorted on using Brahmos. Every 2 of the 3 Brahmos fired by Indians were intercepted, contrary to the claims that no system can intercept the mighty Brahmos.
Imagine what was not used by Pakistan, Ghauri, Babur, Ghaznavi and Shaheen Series. Had we used any of them, Indians would've been crying on other things too.
??So far I've seen a lot of misinfo and jingoistic comments from both sides.
But looking at the facts objectively it's clear that india lost 2-3 Jets with one likely being a Rafale. But India had the edge in drones and cruise missiles in this war.
I was in Jodhpur (it's close to the border) in uni when the skirmish was hot, we had 2-3 days of blackout post 12pm, we saw nothing though. I do remember reading about attacks on Jaisalmer though.
This was a short skirmish than a war, the strategic aim of India being detterance against Pakistani sponsored terrorist attacks in India.

None of the one that are posted in dedicated thread are fake. They are verified by audio or visual to be presentConfirmed not speculated. Many of those posts and pictures were fake.
Beyond the first 2 days and strikes Airforce went out of the picture on both sides. The skirmish moved to drones and cruise missiles.
Air assets are too costly to move close to each other's AD. The drones meanwhile can get away easily.
In BVR engagements the one who locks in first has the advantage. PAF inflicted losses on IAF on the first day yes but we don't know what would've transpired in a larger scale war.
Quantity is a quality of its own, india does have the bigger arsenal. PAF has an admirable set of air assets but we can't judge overall performance on a day's engagement.
IAF is in dire need of newer and better aircraft though. Rafales are too low in number and the integration with local systems is not the best. The best way for IAF is to go for band aid purchase of a 5th gen fighter for now till our own AMCA is up and running (likely 10 more years).
Yes lessons were learnt on both sides. Most prominent thing about this war was the drone warfare on both sides.

14 probably upto 20.(just my opinion)
After an hour of deep thought over a cup of evening tea, I have concluded that something is terribly wrong with the IAF.
Due to the nature of "news," one must always propagate and adhere to a particular narrative by continuously updating the evidence and denying opposing claims.
I have not observed this happening, which leads me to conclude that there must be losses on the IAF side. However, I cannot calculate the number, as I lack correct and reliable information.
There are just more and more videos of IAF wreckages and how come they are mum about that!
and BS 001 BS 022 and some other one was destroyedDesh darohi sarr… delete this post sare
