Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!

[Arima]

Last 1 hr suddenly lot has changed in Twitter and TV media.
No more pilots capture news or karachi port events!

[Baikul]

Karachi attack is one thing, some of our shadier propagandists have Karachi port burning….

Heh. Even better . Zee News is taking about "kabja" of Islamabad!

All this fake euphoria I feel makes us unprepared for the inevitable setbacks in an operation of this magnitude.

The same people who are getting imagination led orgasms will be the first to go into dhoti shivering at the slightest reverse.

[asbchakri]

It seems India is asking the IMF to rethink the Bailout package

[A_Gupta]

The only reliable news regarding Karachi that I have found:
https://www.lloydslist.com/LL1153400/Sh ... sions-rise

Shipping lines start to bypass Karachi as India-Pakistan tensions rise
Some carriers have diverted from Karachi as India-Pakistan tensions escalate, with cargo being rerouted via Colombo and Singapore
New restrictions affect vessel movements, especially those carrying Pakistani cargo or calling at both Pakistani and Indian ports
Maersk says it will evaluate potential structural network changes, should restrictions extend

For those who want non-masala official statements watch the above Indian MOD handle.

[Cyrano]

Did anyone notice that there were no phoren channels/journos asking questions in MEA press conf. ?

On the other hand a lot of them are writing completely anti India narrative stories - CNN and now Le Monde

To be expected, they are slaves to western status quo besides being islamo-leftists. Their tune will change totally in the next 24/48 hrs. But even if they dont, Bharat is beyond giving a flying duck.

[rsharma]

Well, now Republic TV is claiming the BLA has "captured Quetta". I hope their fast-paced claims are from reliable sources. Otherwise Goswami will come out looking like a fool tomorrow.

By the looks of it, he is on his way to lose any shred of credibility he had even amongst the WhatsApp varsity janta!
At this rate by 4 or 5AM he will personally fly down to de-Salwaring ceremony at PindiHQ!

looks like entire tsp is in blackout - no internet, electricity. only fire from friendly neighbourhood

[Shivaji]

Turkish Cargo plane landing at Karachi airport. Probably repleneshing TB2 drones or may be operators...Good chance for Vikrant air wing to contribute!

[williams]

CNN is fully supporting Pakistan. We should hive zero traffic to them.

Don’t know about Karachi, but couple of journo friends told me that the pilot capture news was denied by their sources.

[Jay]

Asim Munir under arrest as per Republic (un-confirmed)

fake news!

[Cyrano]

Anyone watching Al Jazeera? The tune they sing will be interesting...

Tomorrow? Saar to some of us he was that yesterday too, and the day before that and the day before…

There was also news that 8000 SM accounts will be blocked. Not sure any Cheen mass SM manipulation occurred.
I saw many know handles giving out ditto copy paste news.

[Tanaji]

What are Republic TVs sources? The most fantastic claims are from this channel….

Pak has a capable air force and a capable army. They being jihadi murderers without honour doesn’t change this fact. It is inconceivable it will go south so early.

I doubt the whole 3 Awacs gone thing as well.

[Sumeet]

Republic is not worth watching at this moment. I have switched it off sometime back.

[Vayutuvan]

Fellow BRF-ites : today is my birthday. (Seriously).

Modi ji is giving me the best birthday present I could have dreamed of.

RD, have a great B'day.

Maybe we need to start maintaining a tier list of sources based on reputation. (Tier 1 for official spox/handles, Tier 2 for trusted journalists, ANI etc , Tier 3 for Anon Twitter handles that have previously been accurate , Tier 4 for everything else)

So many claims made around 11-11:30 PM have quietly been deleted or forgotten for the next latest thing.

[nishant.gupta]

Usual shipping in other lanes but much lesser density near pakistan coastline though this would be the result of the shipping stoppage declared by Bharat yesterday as well.

32 missiles , 210 drones shot down - count so far - according to local live witnesses.

https://x.com/ani_digital

ANI digital handle has all videos of incoming missile/drone interception

[Baikul]

Whatever their sources they must be prime grade, because Arnab is getting high on his own supply…

[Vayutuvan]

Wow..our air defence probably even better than the Israelis!

Supposedly it was an Israeli video.

[Jay]

32 missiles , 210 drones shot down - count so far - according to local live witnesses.

And who is this local live witness and how could they distinguish between a missile and a drone in the middle of night, in a combat zone? These claims are getting ridiculous now.

Seems like black out created local echo chamber effect adding frenzy which was simply lot of hot air.
Really serious I must say.

Last time IN moved we had a new country! This time perhaps multiple countries.

Also folks IMHO this is war including an information war. Any positive news from Indian news sources will have to be taken in with a salt of prejudice but not with a salt of Paki-supporting prejudice. We have a lot of Paki and Chinese lurkers in the forum. We don't need to be like Indian Government who will release only responsible statements. If something is fake let us state that. But I have seen many posts where Paki narrative is immediately accepted but Indian narrative is taken with caution. The least we can do as Indian citizens is to support the Indian narrative and reject Paki narrative.

[krithivas]

It is OK to flood "false news" with the intent of raising the angst and to make PA do rash things. Why do we need to arbitrate on every piece of information? Let it fly....

[Ankit Desai]

GoI & Indian armed forces are showing lot of restrain.

It is time to let it loose and ANNIHILATE na-pak armed forces & retake PoK.

IN officially has entered the party.. paki navy should be gone in a day !!

That’s insane footage.

Credibility is a precious asset. Once lost it is difficult to recover.

When evidence or intel is less than definitive, as it usually is, credibility counts.

If you spout fake news, then when you have real points, e.g., about Pakistan perfidy, what you say will carry little weight.

Moreover even credible Indian sources will start to be dismissed as part of the fake news crowd.

This. 100%

[Aditya_V]

Indian Channels still maintaining 1 F16, 2 JF 17 and SAAB down, but no videos of Pilot and Aircraft debris or PIB information yet, keeping fingers crossed.

We will know press conference at 9:00 Am by MEA and 10:00 by Defense forces

[asbchakri]

as per News 18,
BSF has stopped a Infiltration near Samba J&k
BLA attacks Pakistani Gas Fields in Dera Bugti

Agreed with all of the above.

Add to that the likelihood that such fake news makes not a few Indians euphoric, takes valuable headspace and when it is disproved the subsequent impact on morale can be significant.

So far we’ve had claims of 3 AWACS down, an F16 down, a coup against Munir, BLA taking Quetta, Karachi burning, a pilot captured, two JF 17s shot down - any guesses how many are true? I can only hope

[Vayutuvan]

Meanwhile there are rumors (fairly strong) that Trump might give India a sweetheart deal on tariffs (and claim the credit to stop the war with Pakistan0,,,

Anyway From trump on truth social:

News Conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., The Oval Office, concerning a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY. THE FIRST OF MANY!!!"

This did not age well. Totally incorrect prediction. The country is UK. It is large if you consider Canada, Australia, and NZ being in the realm of Charles III. It is also "respected" in those spoon countries.

TDS acts in strange ways on folks who are otherwise very objective.

[sumsumne]

CNN is fully supporting Pakistan. We should hive zero traffic to them.

I urge my fellow Rakshaks to always use https://archive.is/{url} for any Dawn, CNN or NYT link they want to share. This will mean the site cannot profit from your visit

[Dilbu]

So basically nothing happened after our AD knocked down another wave of drone and missile attacks?

[nishant.gupta]

Hoping for some good publicity and footage for our own Tejas as well. It will be great for Indian Defence exports in future.

[Vayutuvan]

Army battle casualties fund (google). I donate to it.

Any restrictions on non-Indians donating to the fund?
