Dunno how much of this video is true, bit I counted about 17 direct hits into Israel. :shock: iron dome/arrow not doing so well? .https://www.reddit.com/r/AlJazeera/s/6DYP9RaVqY The Indian iron dome performed remarkably well in comparison to the Israelis.. is it because we had more warning time or ...

Haaretz is their version of chindu , quint , wire etc . Because it's a vibrant democracy just like India even such anti national opinions are allowed . As far as tehran times is concerned , the Islamic regime will probably not survive 1 month . Forget 2040. Times of Israel has a fairly moderate view.

Israel took out a Iranian airforce refueller in Mashaad airport, close to Afghanisan/Uzbek border and some 2300 kms from Tel Aviv! Ironically, neither Israel nor Iran has the capability to launch ground operations against each other. So one has to wonder what's the end goal after exchanging volleys...

Question - if Iran has 20K ballistic missiles, the missile storage facilities are a prime target for the Israelis. Have we any info on such strikes? After all, a BM destroyed on the ground is one less BM that the air defenses have to deal with. There are all sorts of numbers given for Iran's missil...

It seems that Israel is able not only to detect the launch of missiles from Iran but also the preparation for the launch of missiles. https://www.timesofisrael.com/home-front-command-starts-issuing-warnings-15-30-minutes-before-missiles-hit/ The Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command announced o...

Is there a reason why Israel is choosing the much riskier option of sending dozens of fighters into Iran to attack targets instead of returning the favor using ballistic missiles ? The chances of one or more fighters succumbing to SAM seems more and more likely as sorties increase. Besides, wouldn'...

There's one image from Tel Aviv with a large 20ft ditch where a building once stood, i don't know what throw-weight Iranian missiles have but it certainly carried enough mass to obliterate its target. Israel has been very restrained so far, unless it managed to evacuate the entire city, i have a fe...

There are a few reasons I feel why . 1) specific to Rafale , Eric trappier has aggressively marketed Rafale against f35 even offering it to Canada . American media tried to amplify Rafale loss for that reason specifically I feel. 2) Yehuds have fewer jaichands and more supporters in western media ....

Some updates: Mossad did not operate drones inside Iran - though they probably had individual agents. They were launched from Azerbaijan and possibly Kurdish Iraq. Israel gets its oil from Azerbaijan (through Turkiye). Several ballistic missile launchers hit by Israel were apparently dummies. Iran h...

The moment you hit runways pre-emptively, its a declaration of war. Pak would have guessed we were about to do something and emptied all their terrorist camps. Pak would also then fire at civilian aircraft. Anyway it was a war, whether openly stated or not. The timing of hitting of the runways and ...

From the Israeli media and to some extent confirmed by Iran: 1st wave - drones fired from inside Iran, or Azerbaijan, or Iraq, to take out key elements of Iran's air defences. 2nd wave - air strikes to hit the Iranian military leadership, Natanz nuclear facility, SAM and radar sites. 11 generals, 1 ...

Iran is doing a Pakistan, with dubious claims, amplified by Chinese bots.
The pic of the Israeli female pilot supposedly captured, was actually an officer of the Chile air force, lifted from the internet.

Why do these countries have a fascination for reporting captured women pilots ?

Deans

India was able to hit runways across multiple airbases simultaneously with devastating effect. Would it have been prudent to have done this as the first step to prevent the Pak aircraft from taking to the air? This would have set off sufficient panic before striking the terror outfits. This would h...

Info so far (from Israeli media) 2 rounds of air strikes - 240 sorties. Missiles seem to have been launched from Iraqi airspace. 8 locations hit, around 12 targets, incl the nuclear facility at Natanz, Tehran airport and the homes of the Revolutionary guard leadership. Iran confirmed the Chief of st...

I was watching mohartma C. Fair on a paki channel (the wire with Ali Chisti) interview.

There is news that Pakistan is increasing the defence budget by a whopping 20%. There are also rumours of possible chinesee HQ-19 and german IRST air defences that can apparently shoot down brahmos missile.

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 resid...

I don't understand the complacency part, we gave the enemy a full 16 day head notice of our intentions, we should have known they will be fully prepared. We had to be prepared for the possibility of a two front war, or (more likely) a conventional war with Pak. It meant moving formations from as fa...

Question - if jihadi terrorism becomes too costly for Pakistan, will they focus next on drug trafficking? This following is US-centered, so just providing it for the headline.

There were many stmts made by Indian AM and even CDS which are highly technical terms, understood by those in military operations. On the 6th night - 7th morning India took out 9 terrorist camps (in 25 min) but there were more, around 20+ such camps. They failed knocking them all out due to Pak sho...

All SEAD has countermeasures. Russia has been unable to do SEAD for 3 year in Ukraine. When we did do it on 8-9 May, we still did not degrade Pak air defences enough to send any of our aircraft over the border. We did just enough to enable missiles and drones to hit stationary targets. on 7th May i...

Deans

I'm repeating previous posts, but I want to put some alternate scenarios, dreamt up by keyboard warriors to rest. The International community probably gave us a tacit go ahead to hit terror camps (only) to retaliate for Pahalgam and not provoke a wider war. We did not spend months sending dossiers p...

and that means exposed hangers for Sukhois in deep is no good either, nor the bases housing transport, we need hardened shelter + defense against drones at all bases. Under the START agreement both US and Russia had to keep nuclear bombers in the open for monitoring. However, after the US withdrew,...

I still perplexed of 6-0,7-0 nonsense, if there are soo many funerals of PAF personal, how come all Aircraft are safe. do thier planes dump thier pilots dead when they Land?

Russia just lost a bunch of nuclear bombers, their most heavily guarded assets, to cheap drones.
The country isn't wallowing in self pity, like some in India are.

On the alternatives to 7th May that armchair critics have been suggesting, A Scalp missile fired from a `safe' distance of 150km from the target, travelling at Mach 0.8 will take almost 10 mins to reach the target. That is enough time for Pak to calculate the likely target, empty it and attempt to i...

I'm trying to figure out why CDS spoke to the media - giving him and the govt the benefit of doubt. The Pak CDS equivalent was also at the meet. So were 4 star generals from important countries. All of them, by now, know who lost what. Rather than avoid the media and hand the floor unopposed to the ...

To put losses in perspective - between Balakot and Pahalgam, we lost 21 fighter aircraft to peacetime crashes.
We lost 3 aircraft in Kargil, to tactical errors.

Deans

But the CDS has fed the false narrative, every one s now going to focus on IAF losses, not on Pak Fauj with Terrorists, hitting Paki targets, doing Saab 2000 with S 400. There are no 2 ways about it that interview and answer were a self goal. It was a self goal, as is a lot of our media management....

We lost 3 aircraft in Kargil (2 fighters, 1 copter) - apart from the army making a series of mistakes and being taken by surprise. We didn't wallow in self pity, or call the army and IAF incompetent. My dad took part in the IN raid on Karachi in 1971. It had its share of tactical mistakes. We used 3...

How is this different from what was declared by the DGMO already? He did say all pilots were home but there could be some losses. CDS said it little different. But it is not first time confirmation. DGMO already confirmed it but he said he is not going to tell the numbers. CDS also said the same. F...
