But apparently, we can't believe any news outlet according to several of our forum members. So, I will wait for official confirmation."Operation Sindoor is fully underway. Pakistan army chief Asim Munir will not be given a face-saving exit," a senior officer told TOI, as India's counter-strikes were still unfolding at night, including forward deployment of warships in northern Arabian Sea and total breakdown of the LoC ceasefire.

No official confirmation has been made by the Pakistan Army or government regarding the alleged events. Readers are advised to treat these claims with caution and wait for further updates from reliable sources.
Because if it is true, India knows well its huge population of dhoti-shiverers; and if it is false, India knows that a categorical denial by the entire Cabinet including Prime Minister will not stop the Indian dhoti-shiverers from raising further doubts.

I hope everyone sees the difference between eye-witness reporting on live action, which can put personnel's lives in danger or ruin an operation, remaining silent without providing any information, and pushing the narrative that India's military leaders and government want to push.Mort Walker wrote: ↑09 May 2025 05:24 The disinformation or misinformation coming from pro-India sources is something that is VERY needed. On 26/11 in 2008, accurate reporting allowed the TSP army to coordinate maximum in killing civilians & security personnel and property damage. Accurate reporting provides succor & relief to the enemy where his plans are working and where they're not. Then add TSP supporters in the PRC, western governments, organizations, and racists who are all anti-India that have their own agendas. The SM warriors & Indian TV channels counter this and have provided a pro-India narrative which serves to demoralize the TSP RATS.
We should all be applauding the pro-India narrative whatever it may be during Operation Sindoor!
Just another update. Some interceptions over Amritsar also.
. They also killed a lot of twitter handles so information is dry now. We are at war and I do like how tight lipped our defense department is operating. That is good. But citizens also need to have some info to counter the narrative Pakis are creating in the world media.The Govt/Armed Forces will provide a post-ops BDA (Battle Damage Assessment). Till then, speculation is pointless.

It doesn't matter what TSP RATS say about Indian media. CNN, BBC, NYT, WaPo, Telegraph, Reuters, Bloomberg are full of shit about India 99% of the time. I say we need 100 more Arnab Goswami's and Major Gaurav Arya's shouting as loud as possible! Put the Indian narrative out there.A_Gupta wrote: ↑09 May 2025 05:34

If Government/Military want to remain silent about some damage or lack of damage, it could be for many reasons, ranging from morale, to not letting the enemy make an accurate estimate of the efficacy of their attack. I can think of other reasons, but will stop with this.
TSP Rats just have to catch you in one fake news item, and your credibility ends, and they will no longer be demoralized by anything you say.

Thank you Rakesh!The Govt/Armed Forces will provide a post-ops BDA (Battle Damage Assessment). Till then, speculation is pointless.
We’re not going to get involved in the middle of [an India-Pakistan] war that’s fundamentally none of our business
There is a war going on. No need to inform enemy.
Folks I strongly urge you to desist reporting or soliciting indian losses. It exposes to enemy military what tactics produced a specific result or reaction, or plain fruitification of their psyOp and information warfare.
Well said. That's the Forum moderators position.Rakesh wrote: ↑09 May 2025 05:43

The goal here is not to focus on Rafale, but rather on political/military objectives being met. Air HQ has confirmed that all pilots are accounted for. Look at the bigger picture ---> The IAF entered heavily contested airspace and engaged all targets with success. Valuable data has been collected on all Chinese maal (i.e. J-10, HQ-9, JF-17, etc) that have been engaged with for the first time. Will help India immensely when the balloon goes up with China.
P.S. We just crossed Japan to become the fourth largest economy in the world. In conflict, equipment is lost or damaged. Not a big issue at all. If any aircraft were lost, they can and will be replaced.
And let the Armed Force's version of events be the foundation on which to rest "our" area of true truths.

Getting to understand what they are saying and separating what is news and what is their opinion in itself is a big challenge
