Meanwhile In India PM Modi:

> Attends ABP Conclave
> Humiliates a nuclear terrorist State
> Attends space exploration Conference..

He is talking about space exploration & mars & moon after operation Sindoor!

And managed to send a subtle message....."

Here is some info about Wing Cmdr. Vyomika Singh that was in my LI feed:

Proud to share that Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force who on Wednesday co-lead the media briefing on “Operation Sindoor” alongside Colonel Sophia Qureshi of the Indian Army and Foreign Secretary Mr. Vikram Mishri to explain how the coordinated mission was carried out and what it achieved, is an alumna of Delhi College of Engineering, now DTU. She graduated in 2002 in the first batch of Environmental Engineering.

Her name, Vyomika—meaning “daughter of the sky”—has come to reflect both her passion and profession and has mirrored her childhood ambition. From her school days, she was determined to fly.

She joined the National Cadet Corps (NCC) while pursuing her engineering degree at DCE.

According to an Economic Times report, she became the first in her family to join the armed forces.

A distinguished helicopter pilot in the Indian Air Force, Singh was commissioned into the IAF on December 18, 2004, as part of the 21st Short Service Commission (Women) Flying Pilot Course and was promoted to the rank of Wing Commander on December 18, 2017.

She has operated helicopters such as the 'Chetak' and 'Cheetah' in some of India's most challenging terrains, including high-altitude areas like Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast.

Wing Commander Singh, is among the few women in the Air Force to have represented the Indian Armed Forces at such a high-level joint press conference.

The entire DTU-DCE Fraternity is proud of her and wishes her all the very best and a stellar career in Indian Air Force.

US President Donald Trump on India Pakistan:
"

"It is so terrible. I get along with both. I know both very well, I want to see work it out, I want to see them stop. Hopefully they can stop now. They have done tit for tat. So hopeful they can stop ..
I know both, I get along with both countries very well. Good relations with both. I want to see it stop. If I can do anything to help, I will be threre"

I think we are underestimating the power of the new AD systems and ground radar coverage India has built in the last 5 years. Starting with Spyder, Akash, Barak, MRSAM, QRSAM, S400 and BMD systems along with routine CAP that is all networked in layers and it is impossible for any Balakote style Paki intrusion in the whole of North india today. Paki's Chinese fleet and some old F-Solas cannot do much in this environment. However, we all like to speculate, look at pictures posted in X and have some fun. Honestly, Pakis lack stand off weapons that is worth the money to threaten India and they know it better than we knowing it.

Pakis know the consequences of even trying something like that today. With the big CBG sitting near Karachi and IA/IAF people waiting for a chance, they know they will be thrashed beyond measure. China put on their usual neutral face after the strikes. So no one will be there to help them if things go out of hand.

We will know more in due time, but after yesterday's press release from GOI, it appears we might be done with more strikes, unless it's a response to a paki transgression.

There should be some retaliation from us for the shelling in Poonch sector but missile strike and air raids as mentioned by armchair warriors on X are unlikely.

TSP will need genuine 5th gen aircraft besides dedicated EW fleet and long range stand off weapons to even try anything of this sort. Lastly, what target will they choose ?

Plus imagine nightmare of jamming so many different radar systems and missile seekers -- Indian, Israeli and Russian.

With Op Sindoor we have made it clear that we will hit them with our missiles wherever these terrorists are in PoK or TSP mainland.

India should establish two huge military bases in Afghanistan now, which could act centers for welfare and good work for developing facilities/infrastructure for Afghans in their homeland and for keeping TSP engaged from both sides while we make Balochistan unsafe for any kind of TSP element to seek refuge in. They will have limited real estate to feel secure unless they decide to hide directly under missile launches or their CCS trucks.

Plus we need to invest in stand off jamming and real long range stand off stealthy weapons with more lethal warheads. We have plenty of targets in TSP land to choose from.

Our focus should be on taking Gilgit-Baltistan from TSP and continue to ruin it's economy and make it suffer under IWT.

Indranil confirm that the picture is of the Brahmos booster as discussed in the above post.
https://x.com/Indrani1_Roy/status/19201 ... 1kN6w&s=19
I don't want to join this misinformation slugfest.

People like these don't understand how an integrated solid fuel booster missile like Brahmos works.

The black parts are marked as 5,6 and 7 in the schematic below. It must be jettisoned for the ramjet to start and operate.

On a side note I saw on ToI a tweet from Paranjoy Guha where he is quoting some unidentified journalist:
'Sindoor' stands for Strategic Initiative for Neutralizing Destructive Opponents with Overwhelming Retaliation.
Reference:

Even Sashi Tharoor was also praising this:

The GOC and all ranks of White Knight Corps have paid their respects to the supreme sacrifice of L/Nk Dinesh Kumar of 5 Fd Regt, who laid down his life on 07 May 25 during Pakistan Army shelling. The Corps has also expressed solidarity with all victims of the targeted attacks on innocent civilians in Poonch Sector.

We need to avenge this. Pakis should not be getting away shelling this way. Let the larger caliber guns roar now.

We have still more targets to work with !!

terror camps labelled as public health centres.. all registered by Govt of Pakistan !

Pakis are going to be slow cooked ..

real time video proof

western border under enhanced surveillance ., fully prepared troops marked for beedi front !

kabul river has 7 dams in afghanistan .. AF can easily block this water flow into paki land

meeting for world bank will not happen ..they need indias rep to be present.. he was recalled !!.. no more funds from WB to paki

we will not fight now.. break paki first

landlocked paki punjab will feel the heat

paki continuous capex wrt indian "exercises" will literally exhaust their fuel provision of 7 days

chinese "investments" in agricultural paki land.. kaput

the night belongs to the baluch

ass im munir likely to be bumped off

india has probably the most dense ADGES .. paki aircraft just strayed too far and was automatically locked by the akash missile defences

Absolutely disgraceful conduct by @DeccanHerald —this isn’t the first instance of their habitual anti-India bias masquerading as journalism.

Their now-deleted post is not just poor judgment; it blatantly violates norms set by @GoI_MeitY &@MIB_India.

This can’t be brushed aside with another shallow apology. Strict legal action must follow—both against the outlet and the individuals responsible. Enough is enough.

This full post by Amarullah Saleh is worth reading.
India's retaliation was bold, unprecedented, and true to its promise, tightening the rope by nine knots. It still seems a long rope strategy - as it targetted the "veritable arm" first.

I find it puzzling that Pakistan labels it a "Buzdelana" (cowardly - goat-hearted) attack, a term reserved for disguised terrorist attacks, suicide bombings, doing the dirty work of others, and driven by hidden and malicious agendas.

What India executed was anything but cowardly—it was a courageous, forthright strike. And Delhi took responsibility for doing it while in military uniform and by an officer named Qureshi (Quresh is the tribe to which the Prophet Mohammad PBUH hailed from).

I wish I had such capability under my command when the Quetta Shura was active. It's equally baffling why NATO and the U.S. never launched a similar "Sindoor-style" operation against the Quetta Shura, HQN or other well known terrorist network in there. Perhaps their focus on the Doha deal for so long held them back. A new paradigm is setting in

Which country has leverage on Bharat? UK? They just signed an FTA. EU was told off to mind their own business. That leaves the US which has its own problems to deal with what with tariff wars and the upcoming meeting in Saudi next Monday. Nobody has time to spare for Paki turds.

Just now saw segments of Arnab Goswami's debate in which he showed video clips of the funeral of the terrorists killed in Bahawalpur (I think). Brown pants are participating in large numbers, they even were carrying the coffins while in uniform.

Maj Gen Dayal made a comment that we should not make the mistake of believing that those who were killed by Bharat in OpSindoor are plain terrorists. They are army buggers in civilian clothes.

Some SAM activity is being reported in Punjab on twitter by reliable Indian defence handles. I will refrain from posting them, or the videos until more clarity emerges. We can say that the border is going to remain hot for a while.

That’s a poignant image and description.

Sophia has personal beauty, it is jarring in such sordid business of war.

1500 killed. How can Pakistanis miscalculate so badly? The fauj has been pointedly humiliated in front of its junta. The junta has been exposed before the junta.

India has established something of immense geopolitical significance.

I am eager to learn of the functioning of the HQ-9 and how things went so wrong for them.

CNN for once doing a good job highlighting China's support for Pakistani terrorists.

Live updates
While the US and the UN Security Council listed JeM as a terrorist organization in 2001, an effort to include its leader, Masood Azhar, as an “internationally designated terrorist” was vetoed by China.

Thats because the Pakis PR like they are on a reality TV Show. Plenty of real sounding soundbites with a nuclear backdrop.Very click bait y like "Cowardly" "Inferno" blah and blah.

And no one, especially the west, will forego opportunity to capitalize on adversaries discomfort and that includes us. Its all good. We need to play at this level for a long time. Our batting has just started.

excerpts
13 Killed, Over 50 Injured As Pak Army Pounds Villages Along LoC In J&K; Poonch Worst Hit; People Evacuated

At least 13 people, including four children and a soldier, were killed and 57 injured as the Pakistan Army carried out one of the most intense artillery and mortar shelling in years targeting forward villages along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir after the Indian missile strikes against terror infrastructure in the neighbouring country and PoK, officials said on Wednesday.Jammu travel guide
Hundreds of residents were forced to take refuge in underground bunkers or shift to safer places as the indiscriminate shelling by Pakistan destroyed houses, vehicles and various buildings, including a Gurudwara, and created panic among the border residents in the worst-hit Poonch district and Rajouri in Jammu region and Baramulla and Kupwara in north Kashmir.
areas braceketed by Pak shelling
shelling was reported from all along the LoC in Poonch, including Balakote, Mendhar, Mankote, Krishna Ghati, Gulpur, Kerni and even Poonch district headquarters, resulting in damage to dozens of houses and vehicles, they said.
The shelling from across the border was intense till noon and later continued intermittently, mostly restricting to the Poonch sector for the next few hours. Locals faced a tough time evacuating the victims to hospital due to the heavy shelling, which also hit Poonch bus stand, damaging several buses, the officials said.
