They want to show that we are not taking Modi's threats lying down and are trying to put up a show for their awam. A very public supersonic thapad should put them in their place.

Prime Minister @narendramodi
Prime Minister @narendramodi’s speech has rattled Pakistan GHQ. The discredited Army Chief of Pakistan Asim Munir is sending a message through drones in J&K and Punjab that he will continue Proxy Terrorism against India as a coward General of a Jihadi Army who attack civilians.
Explosions heard near Suranasi village of Jalandhar district of Punjab. Indian Armed forces are engaging in neutralising Pakistani drones. No need to panic.
Over 15-20 Pakistani drones neutralised by Indian security forces in Samba, J&K.

India rebuts the United States' claim. After Operation Sindoor commenced, US Vice President JD Vance spoke to PM Modi on 9th May. US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio spoke to EAM Dr S Jaishankar on 8th May and 10th May and to NSA Doval on 10th May. There was no reference to trade in any of these discussions: Sources

I think it would be under JDAS that both Akashteer (Army) and IACCS (Air Force) will be combined which will be under Air Force

Take it for what it's worth. No way to verify.

Atleast 2 Turkish Drone pilots have reportedly been killed in Indian counter strikes on #Sialkot cantt in the early hours of 8th May 2025.

As per sources, wrath laying ceremony was held in #Rawalpindi

#Turkey supplied atleast 10K units of Byker Yiha-3 loitering munition to #Pakistan on 4 May 2025 by its naval ship, TCG Büyükada. As per sources, a small unit of Turkish drone pilots also operated with #PakArmy due to lack of training to Pak forces. Attacks launched on #Jammu were coordinated from #Sialkot Cantt which were intercepted by India after 1st wave of attacks. Counter strikes were launched on the identified spots resulting in the destruction of Pakistani drone's CC unit. Bodies of Turkish drone pilots will be sent to #Istanbul.

Although article says the ceasefire was violated, there is a quote attributed to Indian Army sources saying there's nothing to worry about.

I now wonder if this is happening because some localized Pak terrorists (uniformed or un-uniformed) are breaking away from their chain of command.

Pakistan violates ceasefire again

Hi uddu, great tweet from that guy Hukum. I am still shaking my head in amazement and admiration at what the Indian Air Force actually achieved: within the space of less than an hour's flying time, they completely disabled the entire PAF on the ground, throughout the length and breadth of Pakistan, without taking any losses / damage. In fact without encountering any resistance. The Pakis didn't even know they were there, until their runways, hangars and radars went up in smoke. :shock: :shock:

This was gob-smackingly good. In its own way, it was more than what the Israeli air force achieved in the Six-Day War of 1967 against the Egyptian Air Force. At least the Egyptians were able to get a few planes up in the air (only to get shot down, of course).
I am hearing that there were two seismic events recorded (Sargodha Kirana Hill at 4 Richter and close to Chagai Hills at 5.5 Richter scale)

The big revelation has been the Akash ADS, S-400 was only used 3-4 times and then moved 400 KM inside.
No country has match for Brahmos.

nobody knows the frequencies of NAVIC (Indias own GPS) on which our drones,etc rely. Meanwhile porkis use GPS (US) which work on publicly known frequencies.

^^^ Find your inner-Modi! Ignore these distractions, Has India achieved her objectives? Yes - She humiliated China (pathetic ding-dong weaponry), Beat the living hell out of its slave Pakistan, and in the process sent the right message to Bangladesh (watch its behavior change). Let us enjoy peace for the next few years!

D_Prem wrote: 12 May 2025 08:08 What I am a little worried about is Pak returning back to the drawing board, licks their wounds and bolsters its defences, invests in hypersonic missiles. We have the upper hand now and they have realized our offence is too precise and defense almost impregnable. Should we not go for the jugular now? Giving them time will just allows these ******** to get better and sting us later.
I assume hypersonic missile defense is possible. I imagine that apart from various projectiles, an energy beam - laser or maser - defense is also feasible. If it is feasible, I see India being able to develop it. It might take years, but India will get there.

It may even be that if one can set up a fine grained enough barrage of even small projectiles, the kinetic energy of the hypersonic missile may be enough to destroy the missile upon an impact.

A really effective hypersonic missile defense - won't generally be sold by the Big Powers because it then makes hypersonic weapons an effective non-nuclear deterrent for them. Sell everyone hypersonic missiles, but keep the missile defense to oneself. Will China give it to its Munna? Something to think about.

If Pakistan gets effective hypersonic weapons before India perfects a defense, then there will be a stand-off like there has been for decades with nuclear weapons. If India beats it to the punch, then no problems :)

^^^ Before doing the above Pakis need to master a way to produce water from the Sea. And even before that they need to get UN to supply them with some food. All India need to do is keep hitting any military site as they pop up since they are really RADAR nude now.

The other option is Pakis genuinely dismantling their terror network and start earning food through real economic activity. It is their choice.

The domestic chickens are aware that the guardian of the coop can turn into a 🦊.

A necessary but not sufficient condition is to induce a solidarity borne of a seige mentality. It is not lost that banias madrasis panjabi Khatris and other very martial types brought this calamity on the uber martial peoples.

But for the moderating influence of their religion, I might be concerned for a fascism that one sees in parts of Europe and possibly Israel. And I dare say amongst uber martial peoples themselves.

In fact, examining the fracas dispassionately, Pakistan started this in the name of Islam. Some of the Indian yahoos understand that instinctively.

So the big bad Hindu civilisation defeated Islam again.

It will take time for the natural order of things to become accepted in the mind space. That’s all.

Of course yes. It is called IMAC. There is also a Maritime Domain Awareness Fusion Centre for the IOR where even other nations participate. IN gathers info from a variety of sources such as White Shipping agreement, AIS on ships, Indian lighthouses, P-8Is & Do-228 MPA etc.

Thank you, I looked for more details in this page, IMAC tracks only Non-Military ships. where as National Maritime Domain Awareness centre (NMDA centre), as you mentioned, is for specific military purpose under the Indian Navy.

100%! Drones are

1) Below the threshold compared to bullets (arguably)
2) Can be deployed all across the Western front, not just at the LoC --> which means harassment of lakhs of civilians
3) Technically not "ceasefire violation" (just like jihadis sneaking across was not considered a CFV)
4) Keeps us off-balance for long periods of time
5) We expend lots of ammunition/air-defense assets over a large area
6) Imposes economic costs: air-traffic shutdowns, reduced travel, blackouts etc at minimal cost to Pakis

This is a new form of asymmetric warfare. If the report above is true (shared by a poster) that Turkey has sent a shipload of 10K loitering munitions, Pakis can keep at this game forever. China will replenish them at will

So, this cannot be fought either reactively or proportionately. It has to invite disproportionate response & we should pro-actively hit them. Including hitting drone-bases, killing drone-operators (we did both in Op Sindoor), take out the ships & aircraft that supply drones (yeah, lets make the Chinese & Turks feel the pain too)

Screw rules of engagement & screw Unkil

Modi Ji has set a new benchmark & redlines. We need to drill-down more into the CFV part of this redline & show it via actions

In these latest incidents, not sure if the puki drones are actually attacking, dropping or firing any munitions or just flying in and out of our airspace just to annoy us. Maybe they're trying to keep us occupied and distracted with watching their drones while they're planning something big elsewhere. Anybody know what these drones are doing?
