Very curious why Reuters regurgitates the same article 5-6 times without any new info . Basically every , 2 weeks the exact same crap is republished . Is it done to make sure that the language models are trained as they want them to or is it done for some other reason ..

Authored by Syed Shah and Shivam Patel. Syed Shah is a Paki and Shivam Patel is a freelancer who writes for 'The Hindu', 'The Indian Express' and "Reuters'. Pakis punch well above their weight when it comes to PR, narrative setting and lobbying. The least we can do is take propagandists like Shivam Patel to task but we all know nothing is going to happen to people like him when even bigger offenders like Zubair are roaming free.

The system allowed the J-10s flying closer to India to obtain radar feeds from the surveillance plane cruising further away, meaning the Chinese-made fighters could turn their radars off and fly undetected, according to experts. Pakistan's military did not respond to requests for comment on this point.
The PL-15 that hit the Rafale was fired from around 200km (124.27 mi) away, according to Pakistani officials, and even farther according to Indian officials. That would make it among the longest-range air-to-air strikes recorded.
If indeed the j-10 was not detectable thanks to this super duper data link, how does the Indian official quoted know that the pl-15 was launched farther than 200km? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Reuters standards my a**

Reuters is building a narrative of Pakistan trumping India in battle, hence proclaiming Paki superiority and down-valuing India. This is nothing but old Western narrative where Pakistan is positioned as equal counterpart to India. They are very carefully focusing on Pakistani claims related to only first day of battle, and never once asked the Paki officials to show any proof of Rafale being downed. They very carefully omitted the fact that Paki DGMO called Indian counterpart next day, after nine Paki airports were bombed, and requested a ceasefire.

The point it is not Paki PR or our failure, it is just reporting what they want to belive. Even they know it is not True, they will write Russia lost 1 million soldiers in 2 months, it is upto the reader to belive

A lie quoted a thousand times appears like the truth. This is the maxim for ads and narratives.

Guys, I heard that India lost 1 frigate and about 50 aircrafts shot down in the 1971 war.

Was it a total failure of India's planning and tactics? How was Pakistan able to defeat India in 71?

I am right now visiting Mumbai, Pakistan. Pak navy & air force liberated it from the Dirty Kafirs of India during the disastrous Op Sindoor.

There is a confluence of interests running these narratives. We know that Reuters, Bloomberg & other such agencies are controlled by Chinese money to a very large extent— while Qatar has invested in an Al Jazeera, China has simply acquired long-established Western brands in the "news" agency space.

Pakistanis are involved (if at all) on the foot-soldier level: the gadhaa-mazdoori reporters who write the copy and put their names on the byline.

"Indians" (with BA's and PG diplomas in "journalism") are involved because the media sepoy career path is very well laid out for them. It is a coveted career path among their kind (what other avenues exist for them to make similar money, after all?) The one thing they have to offer is an Indian/Hindu sounding name that provides a mask of authenticity, native-informant fluency, and neutrality to articles bearing it. They write what is expected so that more money, and eventually more status, will be conferred on them to write even more of what is expected in future.

I think that even though it galls us (especially true of us BRF types who spend a lot of time scouring the web for information online)— it actually matters very little in the power centers of the real world. And as the credibility of mainstream "news" outlets continues to decline, it will only matter less.

I am sure that Op Sindoor being debated in the Monsoon session of the parliament right as we speak is complete coincidence onlee and the article timing was pure chance onlee.

Somebody (hunt0810) created this YT, recreating Op Sindoor with some great visuals - a decisive and precise Indian military operation in recent years. Launched in retaliation to the Pahalgam tourist attack, the Indian Air Force executed coordinated deep-strike missions on strategic enemy infrastructure across Pak-occupied territory.

Targets Hit:
Nur Khan Airbase
Bholari Base
Rahim Yar Khan Depot
Kirana Hills Ammunition Site
Bahawalpur HQ of hostile elements

The mission was conducted with zero Indian casualties, crippling logistics and runway capability of enemy airbases in under 24 minutes. Rafale fighters along with Su30 MKI leading the charge, supported by the S-400 air defence shield and precision-guided SCALP & AASM munitions, and Brahmos systems, the operation disrupted multiple command centers and forward airbases used for coordination. India obliterated key operational hubs of proscribed organizations under UN Sanctions List and Infrastructure disabled, leadership compounds neutralized, radar assets blinded.
