Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!

[Manish_P]

... One would have expected a few missiles and bombs at the 'Fauji foundation' establishments and their farms where the pakistani generals raise their cows. So as long as their livelihoods are still safe they will just lie their way through these 'muttibhar sindhoor' strikes and continue.
...

The Paki jihadi fauj will continue to lie to their awaam if their interests are hit. Their eminence in that society is based on being omnipotent (descendants of the all conquering mughals). They cant be seen to be defeated by anyone, least of all hindus.

Added - suits us fine really. We keep hitting them. They can keep denying it till we break the country. Again.

[Manish_P]

Not doubting you Agasthiji and no doubt you are correct but how does an Indian news channel pay an aam abdool in Pakistan? I am sure its not as easy as sending money to UK/Us

Probably via Dubai

[Hriday]

Almost sure a JF-17 crashed. So it means Pakistan tried a retaliation but failed.

1 civilian dead, 9 injured as unidentified aircraft crashes in village near Bathinda Air Force base
The plane allegedly crashed near Akali Khurd village, which is located just 20 km from the Bhisiana Air Force Station. The Army cordoned off the area, and Air Force personnel collected the debris.

There is a suggestion in OSINT handles that JF-17 shot down by India. See the pictures, videos and replies in the below links.

Anybody have any intel coming out of Poonch? hearing some bad stuff.

Tonight could well be round 2 with a 10x escalation

[rsharma]

OSINT telegram channel chatter is full with Fratricide event , PAF air defense system shot down their own F-16 over La-whore . Technical non compatibility between China supplied Air defense system (HQ-9) & Unkil's F-16.

There is a video of ejection seat also laying on field.

Most of the OSINT chatter, is pro-PAK, especially from ypipo and Turk-roaches!
They are claiming Pak, Cheen, Turk-roaches, and Iranian expertise came together for Jamming/EW 'superiority' !

This missile part was found in rajasthan.
As per some tweets, this is the Brahmos booster, so brahmos was also in play

how come all these ppl are so delutional with Islamic terror!!!

[anisham]

It would be fun if india had denied any involvement in bombing and claimed it was a false flag operation by pak on it's soil to blame India to induce escalation.

[Aditya_V]

Right now we need to eliminate any Paki Artillery, Roads, Trucks, Motars around Poonch. Destroy the Tata Pani bridge again

[bala]

What are the estimates of jihadi pigs that died in the 9 attacks? Some say 1000-1500 dead. Any news on the estimate numbers?

[ShauryaT]

I think the west will push for restoration of IWT for non-retaliation by Pakis.

What are the estimates of jihadi pigs that died in the 9 attacks? Some say 1000-1500 dead. Any news on the estimate numbers?

My view is that the number is largely irrelevant. Though I'd like it to be as many as possible.

We went further than Uri and Balakot, by hitting more sites and deeper into Pak. We used both the army and Air force.
We have shown we can pretty much hit any terrorist site with a feeble response by Pak (as I believe time will show).
Those who do not frequent popular terrorist gathering places are killed by unknown gunmen, none of whom has been apprehended.

If Pak retaliates, they will be seen to be supporting terrorists and needlessly (in the eyes of the world community) escalating.
That retaliation will play into our hands.
If they don't respond, the army is shown to be weak - also unable to manage internal insurgencies or the economy.

That plays into our hands. We will refuse to restore IWT, which will pressure Pak to retaliate, which is what we want.

There is some chatter about a dam structure targeted by India in Neelam-Jhelam area as part of Operation Sindoor. No idea where this is coming from.

It's probably bullsh|t, like most of what is "reported" on social media.

Or that would be the pretext for attacking our dams when they retaliate.

[gakakkad]

Pretty sure our dams are defended by impregnable air defense.
And if a stray missile hits them they'll get flooded .and on top of that India will wipe them out . Really porkies have no good choices .

[Roop]

They may. In which case, I hope Modiji refuses to restore.

Fantastic analysis by Rudradev-ji and needs to be pinned! Well said.

[A_Gupta]

Be the Psy Warriors.

Just think in private over the difference between Op Bandar (Balakot) and Op Sindoor about the increased capabilities and the scale of operation. If you are India's adversary with non-zero IQ, you don't need to encounter any Indian Psy Warriors, you will do it to yourself.

It would probably take a nuke, or hypersonic missile hitting perfectly, to destroy a dam. Simpler to destroy the power generating infrastructure
around it. Most of that kind of infrastructure in Pakistani dams is East of the Indus and within Pinaka range.

7 civilians killed as Pakistan resorts to heavy artillery fire after India’s Operation Sindoor

During the night of 06-07 May 2025, Pakistan Army resorted to arbitrary firing including Artillery shelling from posts across the Line of Control and IB opposite J&K,” Lt Colonel Suneel Baratwal, PRO (Defence), Northern Command, said. He added: “Three innocent civilians lost their lives in indiscriminate firing/shelling. The Indian Army are responding in proportionate manner.”

This is enough justification to start an artillery assault on PoK.

[bala]

This requires some comments from members. The Indian operation Sindoor has revealed capabilities of the Indian Army, India Airforce hitherto unknown to many. China is perhaps taking notes furiously on how India is using its new fangled tech to overwhelm Puke land. The funny thing is china maal has been proven to be quite useless and those nations who have china maal may be rethinking the whole deal. I am sure other nations are taking note of the operation.

[williams]

I see a lot of aam-Aloknaths expecting to get ratification/ confirmation from Pakistan how much damages they suffered. These sanskari morons still don't seem to have 'got it' that Pakistan is a police state like North Korea where people can't even dream any dream other than the dream their Army tells them to dream. So I really hope these people stop smoking that hopium asap.

Maj.Gaurav Arya had time again said in his videos that such strikes are just pin pricks for the Paki army as long as their interests are hit. One would have expected a few missiles and bombs at the 'Fauji foundation' establishments and their farms where the pakistani generals raise their cows. So as long as their livelihoods are still safe they will just lie their way through these 'muttibhar sindhoor' strikes and continue.

The press briefing by the women officers was a nice touch. The jihadis seem to get a big ego slap when women fight against them. Maj Arya had also suggested that in future the bodies of dead terrorists should not be buried BUT burned with pig fat. It's these type of 'strikes' - hitting the Paki army's business and insulting the dead terrorists which might really cause a rethink in the Paki establishment.

Otherwise it will be the same old cycle of - Terror attack > Rona dhona/ gaaliyaan > Surgical strike > Taaliyaan > Repeat.

Yeah sure... Except for the part where they will not have water anymore. That will dry up their economy even further. And we will get further in terms of getting equipped better and even better numbers of fighters etc etc. We are in this for a long game. As someone mentioned our goal is to denuke and dismember Pakistan and we will continue to do that as we grow economically and keep the Chinese in the bay.

I think every serious military in the world know's what India is capable of. There is a reason there is no sabre rattling from panda . Onlee mullahs will sabre rattle.

• So it looks like CNN is more pro Paki in its reports.

• BBC and AP seems to lean Paki slightly. So is WP and NY times.

• Reuters seems to be little more neutral.

• Aljazeera seems to be surprisingly leaning India.

• Most conservative media in the US did not care much.

Overall the world has reacted in a muted fashion and are more interested to know who is the next pope. India can do further work if she wants with the Pakis in the name of Pakis were trying to retaliate and we only pre-empted it. Arti fire assault in few places. Salami slicing in few other places and accidentally firing a few Akash missiles at some of the poor JF-17 CAP guys will be nice.

Article by Gen Manoj Mukund Naravane (Retd)
Operation Sindoor strikes aren’t the ‘end’. It’s the first salvo of a long-drawn-out battle

The poignantly named Operation Sindoor was not long in coming. Launched within two weeks of the Pahalgam attack, 24 coordinated missile strikes on nine different and widely separated terrorist sites once again demonstrated the military’s ability to strike at ‘a time and place of one’s own choosing’. That the operation was launched and was successful in striking its designated targets in spite of the heightened state of alertness, only underscores Indian military’s superiority and professionalism.

The choice of targets and the methodology points to a carefully calibrated response seeking to only punish the perpetrators of terrorism. After two previous surgical strikes, one land based and the other by the Air Force, Pakistan might have been expecting something on similar lines. By adopting totally different tactics, the element of surprise was achieved.

It is too early to rejoice. Statements emanating from Pakistan, even before these strikes, indicated a hostile mood within the Pakistani military establishment, reeling under a backlash domestically as well as internationally. We should therefore be prepared for a tit-for-tat response. In this regard, Pakistan would be severely constrained in its choice of targets. Attacking civilian targets within Jammu & Kashmir would amount to hitting ‘their own people’.

Expanding the geographical space to other bordering states would put the onus of escalation squarely on their shoulders. Under the circumstances, strikes on military establishments or headquarters is a distinct possibility, raising the stakes exponentially. China has predictably expressed regret over the strikes, but at the same time, called for both sides to exercise restraint. This will no doubt act as a dampener and make Pakistan reconsider its response.

As a nation, we need to be prepared for any eventuality. Carrying out civil defence drills all across the country will sensitise the population to the possibility of danger, which can come raining down anywhere and at any time. These drills are not meant to alarm but to educate. Taking cover from enemy fire comes naturally to an Army man – it’s a basic battle drill and survival skill. This survival instinct has to be inculcated into civilians too. In Israel for example, when the air-raid siren is sounded, people automatically go to the nearest shelter, without any fuss or panic.

These drills, therefore, will make people more aware of how to react and what to do in any emergency – to go down to the basement of their high-rises, or the nearest underground metro station and so on. The timing of these drills, 7 May 2025, is also significant, in that it would have lulled Pakistan into a false sense of security. Pakistan must have thought that we would not strike until we were fully prepared. Surprise, surprise.

This military strike should not be seen in isolation. It comes as a follow up to various actions taken at the diplomatic and economic level to expose Pakistan and its status as a rogue state that has been actively sponsoring terrorism worldwide. These strikes are not the ‘end’, but only the ‘means to an end’ – part of a coordinated national game-plan. This is likely only the first salvo of a long-drawn-out battle.

Also if Pappu ji wants to sound relevant LoP, he could demand more action and retaliation especially in the wake of civilian deaths due to breaking cheese fire agreement. He could also demand more orders of ATAGS, Whap etc.

Pak Terror Bases Were Hit Twice During Operation Sindoor, Say Sources. Here's How

New Delhi: Pakistan's terrorist bases were hit twice during the armed forces' post-midnight "Operation Sindoor" today, sources have said. The 25-minute operation that started at 1.05 am, had involved 25 missiles that targeted terror camps at nine places in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and deep inside Pakistan.

While the Air Force fired missiles from the sky to the ground, the Army also fired ground-to-ground missiles.

The strikes targeted terror camps across Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Chakswari, Bhimber, Neelum Valley, Jhelum, Chakwal and as far south as Bahawalpur -- areas that were under the scanner of intelligence agencies for long. The agencies had zeroed in on the location of the terror camps through satellite imagery, human sources, and intercepted communications.

The armed forces used precision weapons from deep within Indian territory. The arsenal included air-launched SCALP cruise missiles, HAMMER precision-guided bombs and loitering munitions. The SCALP (Storm Shadow) missiles have a range of more than 250 km and were used to strike hardened targets, including reinforced bunkers and command posts.

The HAMMER (Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range) bombs were used against multi-storied buildings believed to house training modules and operational leadership. Loitering munitions, also known as kamikaze drones, provided real-time surveillance and struck high-value mobile targets as they emerged. These were fired from Indian Air Force aircraft that could even refuel mid-air.

Sources have indicated that in the coming days, India can take similar action on other terrorist bases in Pakistan. The purpose is to send home the message that Pakistan stop promoting terrorist activities from its soil.

If Pakistan retaliates, India will also give a strong response, sources said. India gathered support at the global level before taking this military action.

Did Pakistan shoot down rafale jet during operation Sindoor? PIB fact check says no.

NEW DELHI: The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has debunked several false claims circulating in Pakistani media and social platforms following Indian Army's precision airstrike in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on Wednesday. These claims, largely propagated by accounts affiliated with Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), lacked credible evidence such as satellite imagery or verified video footage. PIB's fact-check refuted claims that Pakistan shot down Indian Rafale jet and said that the image being shared is old and not related to 'Operation Sindoor.'

India has no intent to escalate but is well prepared to retaliate resolutely should Pakistan decide to escalate - NSA Doval Ji's message to major powers.
