Is it likely true/plausible that part of the reason for the air losses is the lack of authority to engage military targets? IOW: Did the IAF not have authority to shoot when fired upon or more optimal nullify likely potential threats on May 7? Gen Sharma seems to allude to such in here after 12 mins...

Bottom line: China has quantity, and China has economic staying power, both of which Pakistan never had. A war that drags on for months, and in which Indian cities, towns, highways etc. are visibly degraded (in the eyes of Indian citizens) while reciprocal damage against China (even if it happens) ...

@Mods: Can we please start a thread on information only on Pakistan losses, - as credible as possible - without any other aspect of the operation on it. We need a credible list with details somewhere and a moderated forum like BRF is the best place to do it?

But Shaurya sir, doesn't that mean with more qualitative asset on ground and air we will eventually have advantage? Key word eventually after heavy attrition from both side.

How so? Our numbers may be less, but our flight duration is higher, detection range is higher and our S-400 system acts as a deterrent from their circa 300 km detection ranges. Again, a 1:1 compare of number of platforms is not a true measure of capability and operations effectiveness. I broadly ag...

Given that Pak has more AWACs and a smaller airspace to defend, they have better visibility of their airspace than we do. Operating over Pak airspace, the IAF will have to contend with AWACS and then a combination of SAMs and fighters, which will erode our numbers and tech advantage. Over Indian ai...

During the 1999 Kargil War, the U.S. and other powers pressured both India and Pakistan to exercise nuclear restraint, but the suggestion that "PALs" were used to control India is inaccurate. India had (and still has) full control over its arsenal. Sorry but Mix of half-truths, unverifiab...

While there is great appreciation for the Prachand and its agility in high-altitude ops, it does so with lighter payloads and relatively light armor.
