Secret underground bunkers—known as HDBTs—were targeted with chilling accuracy. Entire command centers disappeared. Personnel vaporized. And the world watched in stunned silence.

This is the untold story of Operation Sindoor.
Great find NRao sir

A nice short summary of very recent events.
https://x.com/Vikspeaks1/status/1929978 ... PBKwA&s=19
Few things are unsettling me since 10th MAY and making me write this.

1. Sudden ceasefire announced unexpectedly.

2. Mock drills announced during the IPL, despite significant ongoing confusion.

3. Pakistan Air Force highly active on June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

4. India issued a NOTAM for an IAF firing exercise on June 4th and a Navy exercise from June 8th to 11th.

5. Terrorists in Pakistan holding public meetings and threatening India.

6. Pakistan Army officers stating they are willing to go to war over the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).

7. Modi ji, Armed forces and other Cabinet members are emphasizing that #operationsindoor is not over.

Its looked like its over but now it looks like it isn't.

Since there are confirmed reports that the pigs have started to move inside POK's launch pads again after they were relocated following Pahalgam in the fear of Indian strikes.

The PAF jet activity makes sense, but the kind of numbers being reported is a sign that IAF was upto something.

Can someone speak to what it means when they say all our pilots returned home safely? Yet, we've lost some aircraft? Does this mean the aircraft we lost, went down inside our borders so it was easier to retrieve our ejected pilots? Or did any of our aircraft went down behind enemy lines and our ejected pilots were rescued by our special forces? I don't think I've seen any credible photos or videos of any wreckage of our aircraft from inside pukiland. Sorry if I missed any such evidence or if this whole topic has been covered already here on BR. Thanks.

100,000%.

Our military's job is to win wars. Not scratch the khujlis of armchair jingos who waste their time getting into social media debates with Pakistanis.

The Pakistan military cannot win wars, so it dedicates all its resources to winning what it calls the 'narrative war'. I would never trade a 100 of their ISPR hacks for one of our actual soldiers.

Come on Luxtor!

People were making videos of Drones and missiles and you think that they might have missed downed fighter jets and IAF pilots? There is nothing in any social media anywhere in India or Bhikaristan. Since the operation Sindoor is still going on that is why the AM Bharti said what he did. The losses we had were Brahmos and drones inside nPakistan hitting their targets guided by NAVIC and completing their mission.

There were many stmts made by Indian AM and even CDS which are highly technical terms, understood by those in military operations. On the 6th night - 7th morning India took out 9 terrorist camps (in 25 min) but there were more, around 20+ such camps. They failed knocking them all out due to Pak shooting missiles and sending drones (does take time to get info on strikes). This was not a surprise to India but caused caution and hence they said some aircrafts were "down" physically without participation. Meaning these crafts did not want to press their luck. None of the aircrafts that participated in taking out 9 terror camps were hit. No pilot bail out, no wreckage, no nothing. The next day was to signal to Pak that India wanted to stop after hitting their terror camps. But Pak wanted to retaliate against India and went crazy. This is when the tactics were changed, CDS mentioned both "down" and tactics changed. From the 9th SEAD and DEAD happened, DEAD implies military installations being knocked off. Then decoys were used and from then onwards it was clear path to send missiles with precision down to 45 cm width into all the prized jewels of Pak land. 9th and 10th were free strikes for India and everything Pak threw at India was shot down promptly. I am hearing that one china supplied cruise missile (supposed to do mach 3) was taken out by Indian Air defense. The control boys in China and Pak were scratching their collective heads to try to figure out what was going on, while the main C&C at Nur Khan vaporized into oblivion. I am sure many more were vaporized.

Yes, all told, India probably facilitated around 500 paki terrorists and military personal obtain their 72 in these retribution attacks. Those C&C centers and other facilities were probably manned from high sub hundreds to maybe around 200 each, of all types of staff. We'll probably never know as the pukis are very good at hiding their failures to preserve their H&D.

Yes, you're correct. No evidence of any downed IAF aircraft has been shown anywhere other than that obvious crude fake of a supposed Rafale crashed with a fake tail fin photoshopped on. The pakis would've had a field day if they actually had something in their possession.

A clarification - I think in the 8th May briefing itself, Col Qureshi said that people were relocated from 11 camps in POK to the 4 camps that were hit, because forward launch pads (which are basically a couple of tents on a hillside) were closed down after Pahalgam.

Pakistani expert drops bombshell says US runs Nur Khan airbase even Pak army not allowed to enter
A claim by Pakistani security expert Imtiaz Gul has ignited a controversy regarding the Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi. In a widely circulated video, Gul alleges that the strategically important airbase is "under American control," and that even senior Pakistan Army officers are not allowed to interfere. The claim comes days after India’s precision strike on the same base during Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
