Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

My guess is one option they may be looking at which would both be militarily good for us but not too much of a escalation would be to use TB2 and Akinci to take out some S-400 units and record the whole thing. Would be another blow to their military

Turks operate S-400 and I think our TB2/Akincis came with EW packages. They would be happy to help us out here.

We then let ISPR play the videos at a conference....
Our Turkish Brothers would love to support us, this would be free promotion for their defense industry, who would not want that now? Even Americans would have been on the moon had we used US weapons to take out French Jets. You know how US-Europe politics is playing these days?
 
@Areesh @HRK How would you feel if Pakistan did similar retaliation that it did in 2019 but this time deeper into Indian territory, i.e. bombing close to military installations to show that we can actually hit them if we wanted to but showed restrain to de escalate?
 
They have tonnes of money to throw at that problem. Raises the costs for them sure, but does not stop their belligerence in any way that impacts future events like these happening.
If they had tonnes of money they would have bought 126 as they had been planning for that number for over a decade. Does not matter how big your budget is, you can't spend all of it on new capex. And this is not just buying the new jets, its the whole setup maintenance, spares, weapons, training, blah blah blah

I'll be happy if they spend more on defense and stunt their economic growth, we can always counter it at a fraction of a price as no one can beat China in product/cost efficiency.
 
Can't get bigger expert on IR and global security than Prof John Mearsheimer. As always, very calm and articulated in his responses. Possibly not the response Indian journalist was looking for.

Idhr se hum ghulail hi chala dete, jahaz urane ki kya zarurat.

Better, we can print RESTRAINT in big bold letters on a J10 and have it fly near the border, smoke on and draw restraint in the sky as well.

That'll teach em Indians.
