Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

[natrix]

I guess 1 jet down only by Pakistan

Baqi sab drama bazi ha

it's minimum 3. as confirmed by Indian officials themselves to Reuters although from visual evidence it seems like more

 

[koolio]

I find this government illegitimate and IK a foolish man - but he needs to be released ASAP.

Absolutely agree despite the political differences he should be released at this sensitive time. Unity, faith and discipline.

 

[Be dazzled]

On a serious note. Military establishment realizes that this embarrassment will not go down well with the enemy. They're planning another heavier punch this time around likely in a few days or weeks. Counter offensive is being planned and prepared. All options are open.

Same stuff some people are saying on this forum

No retaliation

They should preach their pacifistic horseshit to this kid's family:


We cant let his sacrifice go in vain. Eye for an eye. They attacked Pakistani mainland, we attack Indian mainland.
( and avoiding civvie casualties as much as we can, we aint nazis like them ).

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

So the 3 unaccounted seats must be JF17 shot down by India right? But then zeroooooooo noise from India. And knowing the Indian psyche, they will brag and boast before anything. Lolol

bro their other jets are also using MB seats like Jaguar/Hawks/Harriers etc etc

 

[Maarkhoor]

Finger crossed.....

First we have The Hindu and Deccan Herald forced to retract their article of 3 downed jet then now we have this.

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

this record i think is broken today by pl-15.

PL-15 has max range of 205 km

Update:
As per highly placed official source, "Islamabad has made its decision: the sanctuaries of the UN-designated terrorist outfit RSS (Hindutva) on Indian soil are now legitimate military targets for Pakistan. As an "existential threat" to the people of Pakistani-claimed and Indian-illegally-occupied Jammu & Kashmir, RSS can no longer hide behind state protection."

Pak must as build a narrative of RAW involvement in Balochistan, Canada and the US.

Did Pakistan really shoot down five Indian fighter jets?​

No ‘official confirmation’ from India​

According to Pakistan’s defence ministry, five Indian jets were shot down overnight, including three Rafales, and a Russian-made Su-30 and MiG-29. New Delhi has not officially responded to the claims.

The Indian embassy in China declared the story “disinformation” in response to a post on social media by the state-owned Global Times.

In the early hours after the attack, images of previous Indian fighter jet crashes were circulated on Pakistani social media as “proof” of a successful counter-strike. One, from a 2021 crash, showed the smoking tail of a MiG-29 jet.

But reports of jet crashes were soon corroborated from the ground. Local government sources told Reuters that three Indian jets had indeed crashed inside Indian-controlled Kashmir.

The reports mirrored a story in The Hindu, but that was swifty deleted by the newspaper under apparent pressure from the Indian government.

“There is no such on-record official confirmation from India,” the Hindu said as it apologised for what it called an error. “We regret that it created confusion among our readers.”

Residents ‘saw wreckage footage’​

Early on Wednesday morning, Dar Yasin, a photojournalist with the Associated Press, raced to the outskirts of Srinagar, the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

He managed to slip past Indian authorities to take pictures of what appears to be the mangled wreckage of a downed fighter jet.

“Locals told me they saw a huge ball of fire emerging from the accident site and the wreckage was burning for…hours,” Mr Yasin told AP from the scene. Several locals also took and shared video of the wreckage on social media, before being ushered away from the scene.
Images of a burned aircraft engine appear to be of the M88 engine typically used in Rafale jets, said Andreas Rupprecht, an expert in Chinese military aviation.

Some 370 miles further south, villagers in Akhali Kurd in the province of Punjab were jolted awake early in the morning by a loud explosion. Scrambling out of bed, they also found the wreckage of an aircraft, The Indian Express reported.

If it has indeed shot down several Indian jets, Operation Sindoor could be cast as much of a victory for Islamabad as its old enemy across the border.

Did Pakistan really shoot down five Indian fighter jets?

At just after 1am local time on Wednesday morning, Indian fighter jets took off for the launch of Operation Sindoor, a series of strikes targeting alleged terrorist camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

On a serious note. Military establishment realizes that this embarrassment will not go down well with the enemy. They're planning another heavier punch this time around likely in a few days or weeks. Counter offensive is being planned and prepared. All options are open.

So it seems Hindutva terrorists are not satisfied enough, well this time no holds barred. Show them no mercy.

Rafale also use Martin-Baker Mk16F seats. And you are right, India has not claimed any Pakistani jets downed. While Pakistan has claimed 3 Rafales downed. Pakistani jets would also not go into Indian territory as they are equipped with long range Chinese PL15. Its most likely Rafales

 

[Han Patriot]

bro their other jets are also using MB seats like Jaguar/Hawks/Harriers etc etc

So you are not denying Indian jets getting shot, just not Rafales? LoL

So that's what Rana is saying that if India doesn't go for round 2 then we won't retaliate either
