Bholari wasnt superficial
Jacobabad a part of Hangar roof collapsed but it was completely empty.
Everything else was superficial or even a case of stray systems.
S-400 is reportedly based on two aspects.
First is that once the CM-400 was launched the radar emissions were on until the missile countdown finished and then the Cheeseboard at Adampur never came online again(and reportedly STILL hasn’t).
Second is the individual lost.
Third is humint.
It is also possible that system was not damaged but proximity of strike caused them to relocate it to their rather well prepared dispersal sites but since the system never came back online for the duration of BuM and PaF sent UaVs and opened up a rather “stroll in the park” corridor to Dehli Airspace means even if it survived the threat was neutralized. At that point those might as well be paperweights much like the Rafale’s have been taken out for a full rework of tactics and updates to threat library.
If anything the grapevine is the French want to CHARGE India for more current updated and its causing a dispute - take it with salt.
However, the Israelis have been very open and their supplied systems on Mkis, Mig-29s and some local Indian systems have been fully updated with gathered EW data and so they’re the ones currently doing the front line flying.
Thanks. Informative post.
It is amazing how people would jump upside-down to point out one-tenth empty glass and not see nine-tenth of full glass. Is it just the ignorance on their part or some sort of complex that they are suffering from?
Things seldom go according to the expectations or as planned in a war. In this particular case, the enemy was fully prepared and confident of its power and that's why Modi attacked Pakistan in the first place.
Indians, especially the IAF, were crushed in the first episode on 7th of May. IAF was forced to ground for at least two days (according to their own top military officials). Even after they re-emerged, they couldn't muster some courage to come closer than 250km from Pak borders. Modi, being a psychopath, still continuously kept pressing his military to keep attacking Pakistan by then with drones and missiles.
Indians probably sent close to a hundred advanced missiles of all sorts (BrahMos, SCALP, etc.) and latest Israeli drones (reportedly operated by Zionists in India). Only a few of them (probably less than five) were able to hit at some significant targets. All others were deflected, jammed, or shot down by Pakistan. Rendering the best western and Russian missiles useless in such a great number is not a small feat. Similarly shooting down one of the best European fighter jets (i.e. Rafale) in multiple numbers without giving them a chance to even get a lock on a single Thunder or J-10C is not a small military achievement.
And when Pakistan finally launched its counter-attack, Modi who was using Indian military's most advanced weapons for past three days) could not stand for even a few hours before falling to knees and begging for an immediate ceasefire.
Chinese, Americans, and Europeans getting so much excited/surprised on all this is not without a reason. Indians are globally disgraced after that clearest defeat and still continuously being humiliated on almost daily basis also must have a reason.
But some mentally defeated people keep spreading their utter pessimism all the time. Is it their cowardice or inner hatred towards Pak military?
