India Lucky Not To Lose More Than Four Rafales

Imagine PAF sticking to its gun and advantage on May 7th and taking out a lot more Rafales and MKIs.........that would have reduced the launch platforms that IAF could use in the subsequent days to launch their air launched missiles.

I really hope they have analyzed and are preparing for next scenario with increased vigor........

Any soldier/tank/jet you let go, will return back to wage war again with better understanding, better technique, better tactics. NEVER let anything walk/crawl/fly away that you can take out now. Consequences of taking something out would be far less than let that thing go away.

Yep, unfortunately the Chief of their institution though is making such fake unprofessional claims im starting to believe they just think pakistan will leave em everytime, there wont be a next time, next time.
 
What does underplayed mean? Described as damaged and relatively easily repairable by ISPR and seniors on this site, so is that the case or not? Would appreciate as close to the truth as u can share.
It's probably written off. Was pretty much heavily damaged. That was the only tangible aircraft they manged to hit on the ground.

Nope - Horizon 7 is a Ok! is RECOVERED already .

But Indians should think and believe they have shot down so many aircraft and destroyed so much. its a good thing!

because Pakistan armed forces have them by the balls! they keep testing/updating Seem like they did really well. that's why they are "exercising" so much! and why is Pakistan not doing it? because they are damage so much ...

@side-winder
come on spit out! how many PAF kills are there!

Unless they come up with new technology the result will be the same.
 
From a strategic perspective, what we see is India positioning itself that it is allowed to conduct preemptive strikes without repurcussions.

Can the same be said if Pakistan does a pre emptive strike on India without blowback? I very much doubt so.

Pakistan has been lucky. In 2019, it was IAF’s incompetence and 2025 PAF showed spectral dominance over IAF.

Does one think every time India does a preemptive strike that Pakistan will come out on top?

Hence, the solution is to turn this status quo around. That Pakistan will not think before doing preemptive strikes if it sees an imminent threat and its upto the leaders to create an environment and a narrative of new normal.

This is what I am hoping for. Any large formation of aircrafts in India's border within 50km to be engaged with already.

Just as how India has set a new normal by conducting strikes across the border, Pakistan planners need go higher across the ladder by conducting pre-emptive strikes against India.

I hope Pakistani planners knows what they are doing.

Lol what a fool to think PAF didn't (or doesn't) have an offensive plan. They might even have rehearsed it a thousand times.
It was more about political will and constraint
 
Out of 37 speculated GL-SSCM "Brahmos" (counting on lower side) fired 8-9 and hit the targets

so mathematically if 8-9 hits were confirmed that is 26-27%

that means 73% interception (Soft and hard kills) against Supersonic cruise missiles with very light air defenses.

Thats a huge milestone!

It is a rather amateurish tweet to think PAF doesn’t have war plans. The decision to wind down was made by Chief and Facade government before BuM in discussions with External powers.

India chose to keep its want for the last word with those strikes otherwise Pakistan was “assured” that post BuM India will wind things down.
 
There are alot of details lost in the fog of war, with someone on this forum mentioning PA did fire some weapons just before the ceasefire deadline. Not sure if that was the case.
@Panzerkiel said that, wouldn't have believed myself if it wasn't for him.
