Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!

[S_Madhukar]

The Indian Elephant has looonnng memories...more drone strikes reported at Pindi, Karachi, Gujranwala etc...

[Dilbu]

Silence from Indian side is now deafening and becoming more and more sinister. I am now slowly starting to like this silence combined with hard action. Much better than silence and no action.

Air defence battery in Malir cantonment area of Karachi has been attacked. Drones are reaching way deep into TSP.

Gen.Bakshi on Republic TV is saying yesterday night TSP attempted to send missiles into India but our AD systems shot down most of these Chinese missiles. So what we are seeing now must be the tit for tat retaliation against TSP systems that launched this strike. One step up on the escalatory ladder.

Apparently muridke was attacked by UAV as part of op sindoor

Does this mean .... There's a national bird of Pakistan (SDRE version) now?

Could be... you never know. I certainly hope so.

From X (@Duorope):
Confirmed visuals of the Drone strike on Pakistan Air Defence Unit at Walton.

What might be the target for this strike ?

[Deans]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves and wait for an official statement from our side.
This forum should not be reduced to forwarding Bababanasas's tweets.

My concern is the cross LOC shelling. A point I have been consistently making in my posts is that we need to have artillery dominance along
the LOC and be able to shell Muzaffarabad into the previous century (though they may already be there in terms of quality of life).

The Air Defence Unit ? It's right there in the link, no mystery here.

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 the next step of retaliation before they reclaim the escalation ladder... in fact, GOI has remained on the escalation ladder since Op Sindoor Pt 1 and never stopped escalating. Across every dimension of the 4GW battlespace.

Modi sarkar does not distinguish between Pak Govt, Pal Military, Non-State Actors, or any of these false categories that too many of our "experts" have absorbed by subscribing wholesale to the West's framework of addressing national security.

Modi sarkar knows, and has always known, that the WHOLE thing is an illegitimate Ghazi terrorist enterprise. That Pakistan itself cannot continue to exist in any recognizable form if India is to achieve her destiny, even within the next few years.

There is no modus vivendi. There is no coexistence possible. Forget aman ki asha. THIS is now India's state policy, whether explicitly articulated or not.

What you are seeing now will be written in the history books as the first overt, concrete measures taken to END Pakistan itself— as no other country has been ended since perhaps Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Even Iraq, Sudan, Libya, and Syria have only been partially or semi-officially ended... they still exist on paper.

At the successful completion of Modi Sarkar's policy, I don't think Pakistan will exist even on paper.

I don't know if the whole project will be accomplished through the ongoing, post-Sindoor operations... or if the current operations are only the first of many chapters that will be drawn out over years with intervals of apparent peace in between. But India's campaign of covert, diplomatic, economic and other actions in the 2-3 year period leading up to May 7th 2025, and the strikes of Op Sindoor itself will be remembered forever as the blow that initiated the collapse of Pakistan as an irreversible process.

Therefore, AGupta ji, my answer to your question: I believe GOI wants Paki fauj to attempt an escalatory response. I think they want that very much.

In all these, I am wondering if RUDRAM finally got to taste blood? The rambhas would surely have had a lot of targets to pick with the pakis lighting up the sky with emissions from their chinese maal. Would be a great time to test their real life effectiveness during this ops.

[chetak]

look who's giving advice

[Pathik]

Seems end of the day China's H&D will take a bigger beating than Terroristan's

[Luit]

What might be the target for this strike ?

The Air Defence Unit ? It's right there in the link, no mystery here.

Visual Damage does not look like 23 kgs of HE. The Turks/Azeris also have access to Harop. There were cargo flights from Turkey to Pakistan in the recent past. Also, PA has claimed that they have shot down 12 out of 13 Harops allegedly launch by India. I would wait for a press release from our Armed Forces.

Gurudwara attacked, 5 Sikhs killed.

No online outrage or protests outside the Pakistani embassy in Canada, US, or UK by Khalistanis, who gherao Indian embassies weekly for no reason. Not even Punjabi singers speaking out.

Hope Sikh brothers and sisters in India are watching.

Such a tax is a great idea. But a constructive suggestion --

Call it "Non-friendly nation tax" and it could be as high as 50% of the tour package
@aravind
GoI must charge a "terrorism tax" to Indian tourists for visiting countries supporting Pakistan - namely Turkey, Ajerbaijan, China - three countries where Indian tourism is booming. Use the money to fund anti-terror ops, replenish losses, and support soliders fighting terrorism.

DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif holds emergency presser — Claims Indian DRONES have ATTACKED 9 locations inside Pakistan.

— Says cities & towns are under ATTACK.

[Prem Kumar]

What India under Modi have established with Balakot & Op Sindoor is nuclear deterrence

For deterrence to be credible, the nuclear-armed power must demonstrate resolve in using it. By hitting shitistan repeatedly, we have signaled that we will go to any extent to protect our homeland & our people

Post 26/11 inaction by Sonia, Mouse Mohan & Co, Pakis must have fantasized options like a 1st strike or even dirty-bomb attacks - just to see how far they can push us. Now, they won't. If at all they talk "nuclear" now, it will be a whiny "If you destroy PA/PAF or capture PoK, we might use nukes"

And even that wouldn't carry weight because they know that our 2nd strike will come & they will cease to exist

Contrary to the nonsense that the NPAs peddle: Retaliatory conventional strikes makes nuclear war less likely. Turning the other cheek invites a 1st strike

[Manish_P]

Therefore, AGupta ji, my answer to your question: I believe GOI wants Paki fauj to attempt an escalatory response. I think they want that very much.

Sir, we have hit Pindi (their military HQ) and Karachi (their economic HQ).

Their enchandee has been deeply violated

Next step on the ladder maybe Isloo

[Aditya_V]

With the KDK series retired, 9 AEW Erieye 2000, 1 crashed, 3 knocked out by Taliban, if we can take these out and ground based radars, Paki fighters will have to do a blind retaliation which will go bad for them.

[Dilbu]

There are reports of IC 814 hijack mastermind Rauf Azhar likely getting neutralised.

[ramarya]

All depends on how China controls its puppet, in the time of Pakistan's worst economic period and when they are battered at the western front by both TTP and BLA. They did Pahalgam. This definitely is directed by both CCP and the DS. The want to drag us into a long war and in the bargain sacrifice TSP. We need to ensure that there are no boots on the ground and not get saddled in Punjabi plains like the Russians in Ukraine. We need to shower them with missiles and drones. By the end of this, the best case would be Kurdistan like existence of Balochistan with BLA taking control of the land, no need of any UN recognition. KP going to Taliban (which to a great extent has already gone). Fields of Punjab and Sindh, just like Iraq/Syria will be distributed to close to 100 to 150 warlords where they would keep fighting each other for the next 100 years. We should seal the border tight and ensure that all the warlords are well armed to fight each other.

[Dilbu]

GOI has released press statement.

[Ashokk]

[sanjayc]

Rajnath Singh says more than a 100 terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor

[Aditya_V]

Looks Like Pakis used Drones and A-100 MLRS at Night, we have taken out HQ-9 Radars, Control vehicles with Herop Drones.

[Dilbu]

If TSP had targeted so many installations yesterday then it is surprising that we are not seeing any amateur videos of these paki drones hitting or failing in Indian territory. May be because it was at night. In comparison we are seeing a lot of videos coming out from TSP. Not complaining and it should stay that way.

[BhairavP]

RUMINT - the Pukes tried to attack THE Gurudwara in Amritsar last night, and wanted their Khalistani buddies to blame GOI if it was hit. Today's strikes are retaliation for that and the other attempts last night.

[Cyrano]

A few french alternate SM channels including ATE CHUET who is an ex Rafale M pilot himself, are reporting that a Rafale serial no. BS 001 has been downed citing other SM as evidence. But no confirmed pix of the debris or downed pilot or any other proof. Perhaps they are relying on chinese photoshopped propaganda. Fwiw.

[drnayar]

Indian Air Force fired S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence missile systems last night against targets moving towards India

'Pakistan’s Air Defence units of HQ-9 air defence missile launchers have suffered heavy damage'


Seems we will degrade their air defences before moving in

[Dilbu]

So TSP attacked yesterday night and failed. Then they knew India will retaliate in same manner using drones and still failed in their defense also. wah..

[ricky_v]

at this point, the pakis will surely be thinking about the next step, looking at the press statement today, it has been made clear that india will respond in a like manner to paki aggressions and that they are looking for a non-escalatory approach

[S_Madhukar]

if the Cheeni maal has not worked as expected then it is only fair as the Bakis fooled Cheenis on CPEC and the Cheenis recovered some by selling Thandaars etc.

Looking at some Swiss AA guns etc appears that Faujis buy off the shelf maal, earning kickbacks w/o thinking abt how to integrate and use them. Keeps goras on their side as part of the 5th column

[Aditya_V]

Most probably Swift Retreat 2 will now be tried, we need to start launching AAM early this time.

I know,

By the way, this ex Rafale M pilot (retired due to health issues) who runs an otherwise fine yt channel "ATE CHUET" has been accused of collaboration with the chinese as he did a lot of "consulting" trips to China in the past couple of years. Which might explain his quickness to jump on chini propaganda.

[Baikul]

@ all mods. Is it appropriate to have a separate thread (temporary perhaps) that aims to identify, collate select videos, articles, analyses, even social media posts narrative that coherently and succinctly reflects an India‘s gains, strategic or tactical?

I feel that a lot of appropriate messaging is getting lost in rona dhona, mis info and enemy propaganda.

I see this more as a thread that collates effective talking points (wins in other words) for want of a better term. It will give easy access to jingos and others to push our narrative
