Absolutely. Boss, this is India. The entire region where IAF operations occurred is quite densely populated by global standards, even in what we would call relatively remote rural areas. Explosions in the sky followed by crashes on the ground are completely impossible not to notice. Crores of reside...

@rudradev, we overestimate ourselves. We are too competitive as if we are still living in nehruvian socialist India where resources were scarce. You know who are the others who are more competitive? Russian Amrus, east European amrus. Jewish have mellowed down somewhat. But it is too late for them ...

@rudradev ji, so you agree with V. Ramaswamy's observation that white Americans (or atleast native-born) are not hardworking and don't study beyond HS, if that, hain ji? Not sure how you reached the conclusion that I "agree" with that particular observation by him. What I said was that he...

Rudradevji, Another interpretation is that Trump is simply doing performative politics for his user base standing up to the hated liberals in their own backyard. There is no grand plan of MAGA trying to rewrite the social contract. After a couple of weeks things will die down, Trump will jump to th...

Nobody to alleviate my dhoti-shivering? Not contradicting me makes it doubly shivery. No. My dhoti is on a resonating frequency. Modi is too valuable. He should not go to Canada, period. I would be less anxious with him going to China. Maybe even to Pakistan (though I believe they've had problems w...

How the immigration situation in the US is represented in media and political messaging has practically zero bearing on reality. I've lived in the US 30 years. In that entire time, the vast bulk of menial jobs in the service, agricultural, industrial, construction and other sectors have been done by...

Pakistan experts, was the near-unanimous coalescence of Pakistan around a contradiction-laden, fictional narrative around Op Sindoor something that could have been anticipated? Thanks in advance! I'm not any more or less of an expert than anyone here. But in my view, yes. Pakistan has survived on i...

Donald Trump talks a lot but never actually does anything. Unless the Pakistanis, Chinese, or Qataris make a direct transfer to his family-owned WLF crypto fund... then he will roll over and do exactly as they want.

There's probably more than meets the eye regarding Lutnick. Howard Lutnick is known as an extremely pro-Israel official in Trump's orbit. One of his most bitter rivals is Scott Bessent-- who has deep ties to the Turkish lobby. During the Trump Cabinet formation, there was a vicious fight between the...

Personally, I would much rather have a CDS who can win wars than one who is good at giving interviews. 100,000%. Our military's job is to win wars. Not scratch the khujlis of armchair jingos who waste their time getting into social media debates with Pakistanis. The Pakistan military cannot win war...

Here are my thoughts. 1) Op Sindoor showed that this Government of India runs a very, very tight ship. From secrecy to operational planning to flexibility of implementation. From A to Z, everything was executed in such a way that Pakistan was brought completely to its knees in THREE DAYS (and that i...

China has unveiled the HQ-9BE, an advanced surface-to-air missile system designed for global markets.

US imposed 26% tariff on us and now 25% on Apple products while it will be only 20%+25% on Apple products from China. Cheaper for Apple to continue to produce there with an established production base. Excellent point. Trump knows as well as Tim Cook that making iPhones for the US market in the US ...

@ bala : Let us not get over confident or get ahead of ourselves. The Chinese are a different beast altogether. Pakistan looks at conflict through a religious lens, which clouds their judgement. The Chinese look at conflict through a realistic lens and games 10 steps ahead of everyone else. There i...

With all due respect to Major Jolly Sahib-- and while agreeing 100% with his ultimate conclusion that India should not count the US among its 'allies'-- I think he is overstating the 'bonhomie' case here. It is not as generally true as he makes it out to be. Yes, the Pakistanis have worked hard at i...

I get worried when I see the names/faces/posts of key individuals in our weapons and space programs being publicized.

Of course they "deserve" celebrity and fame. But while still serving, their security is more important, both for themselves & their families and also the nation.

So, we had good enough intel to PIN POINT where Paki Nuke Maal was stored at a given day/hour/minute (remember, this stuff is constantly moved around)... but according to Tom Cooper, we didn't even have intel about the range of PL-15s supplied to Bakistan (and worse yet, IAF were such duffers that t...

You do understand that parading POWs before media for propaganda purposes violates the Geneva convention, right? The Pakis' display of Abhinandan was completely illegal.

Fellow BRF-ites : today is my birthday. (Seriously).

Modi ji is giving me the best birthday present I could have dreamed of.

Rudradev

This has been a calibrated "debriefing" of Pakistan. First, send up throwaway drones over the targets. Paki HQ9s reveal themselves and the precise locations of the nodes in their radar networks. Second, take out the identified radar nodes. Pakistan becomes radar-nood. Third, start hitting ...

Rudradev

I don't think any of us on BRF have really internalized the template necessary to understand how GOI is prosecuting this war. They are not doing a "punitive retaliation for a terrorist strike"— not this time. Whatever they may say in statements, they are not waiting for Pakistan to take th...

Rudradev

The fact is, what Indian armed forces have done (striking directly at what WE determine to be terrorist infrastructure, and that too deep within Pakistan proper) establishes a 'new normal'. The fact that we accomplished this without a single manned aircraft or serviceman lost, makes it obvious that ...

Rudradev

Strategically this has been perfect. LeT/JeM/HM camps taken out in full public view, which cannot be denied. Done along with a message of restraint conveying that precision weapons were used to avoid civilian casualties. And importantly, no TSP military targets. Balls are not just in TSPA's court bu...

Rudradev

There is no evidence whatsoever of any IAF planes having been downed. That said, we need a very different mentality than some have displayed here if we're going to confront what is coming. Planes are lost in war. So is hardware. So are brave people in the service of their country. Any of this might ...

Some people want aar paar ki ladai leading to total decapitation of TSP— impractical for obvious reasons. Some people say— a short sharp limited engagement that gives TSPA a bloody nose. Fine (assuming all goes according to our limited escalation plan). But also of little use. India can keep giving ...

Gents, instead of wanting IA to grab this land, grab that land etc... let's consider the final outcome we desire and work back from there to achievable milestones.

@Rudradev I hope the objective of any Indian response is to break the back of TSPA/ISI as a viable national institution in Pakistan once & for all. I've been wondering the same thing - what is the end game? So, what you have described is a great, almost fantasy, finish. Can we start with what i...
