Hakim ji, then that is problem, ain't it? Did our ACM lie or the marking is a lie?
The kill mark is on an MKI for shooting the Lavi ripoff

ACM said Most kills were with S-400 not all, so ACM did not lie.

Missile overhead at 16 s, interception flash at 28 s. 40N6 (Mach14) covers ~57.6 km in 12 s matching the ~56.33 km straight-line distance between Dinga, Gujarat crash site & DC Colony (allowing for some end-game manoeuvring)

This is the absolute best report. Corps commanders residence struck.
Sorry I didn't read all the pages of this thread. After the fulfillment of my long held dream of Indian attack on Pakistan, their begging for ceasefire, hit on nuclear related infrastructure, lack of nuclear war blackmail, and finally destruction of Fordow bunker of Iran; I felt greatly satiated and didn't feel like heavy reading. Sharing some interesting snippets here.

The below screenshot of Hindustan Times report says that India targeted Pakistan army general headquarters, Corpse commanders residence etc in the third paragraph. But fifth paragraph says that many of these targets were hit on the periphery like compound wall etc. I don't think it is discussed here. Do any one know more about this topic?

^ hakim sahib seems to be sarcastic when he says absolutely best reporting . I haven't seen any other reporting of strikes on pindi ghq and isi hq . If symbolic strikes there took place they are being downplayed . I am sure India will be able to decapitate them quickly when needed .

No wonder the retards were pleading before Trump admin. I wonder if any US personnel were harmed.
Even 155 is massive given we had next to none casualties in actual operation. At least 300-400 must have been receiving 72 goats. Given it is Army, I bet most of them were hoorified in shelling using advanced weapons.

What is interesting is that there are NO officers in these posthumous awards. Only sepoys are the cannon fodder.

They don't mention where and when these uniformed jihadis met their 72s. BLA and TTP wipes out dozens of these vermins every single month. The attack and takeover of the train is said to have liquidated over 300+ TSPA that has been swept under the rug.

All those were awarded for gallantry during "Operation Bunyanun Marsoos" i.e they got their 72s during the Operation Sindoor.

4 Para seems to have won a few awards for Op Sindhoor. Wonder what their assignment was. Thankfully no one is posthomus. Also points to successful operation whatever it is they did. Hope details come out, will be a good read!

Even Pak won't give you a Sitare whatever, if you die inside a hangar, or don't see the missile that kills you. It would also be an acknowledgement of
their aircraft losses.

It's for operations throughout the past year, which are traditionally presented on Aug 15. Para SF are always among the awardees.
Pak however, specifically states that their awards are for Op Bunyan Ul Marsoos.

While most details are coming out, one thing is still bugging me...
On May 8th evening I was in Raipur Airport and everything was calm... By the time I landed in Delhi at around 10:30, Twitter was active as hell with news about full scale India Pakistan War...
By the time I reached home and turned on the TV, every channel was showing the same news...
Some claiking Vikrant bombed Karachi, some claiming PAF jets downed in Indian Air Space and PAF pilots captured etc. There was war frenzy everywhere for the entire night...
Even Whatsapp groups were active whole night with all sorts of news...
I tried to reason with ppl that nothing seems to be happening, but no one was ready to listen...
----
India's strikes on PAF bases started only on 9th...
----
In a way, that fake news made ppl want India to go to war and it did play a part in the disappointment that India did not go for full fledged war and finish off Pak...
And it is the reason why many were not fully happy with the ceasefire (apart from Trump's announcement)...
----
Who really spread this mass hysteria is something that needs investigation...

I wonder how many of them were killed when we struck the terrorist sites on day 1. Given the visuals of Pak army brass during the funerals of the terrorists, I think there would definitely have been a few Pak military personnel embedded who got their 72.

I think it was the Youtube video jingos who are experts on everything are responsible for spreading war hysteria.
They were followed by retired military flag rank officers who should know better but are on the Youtube likes and visits binge.

In the age of Social Media, the FOMO on clicks is the primary driver. I won't mention names but even the so-called reliable sources kept peddling fake news for 3 days straight trying to gather as many views and clicks as possible, every couple of hours it was some Paki pilot in our custody, half a dozen of their J-10s and F-16s downed in Jammu and Punjab, Karachi harbor destroyed, mutiny against Munir and some even mentioned military has takenover the govt in Bangladesh!

While Pakis have invested millions on lobbysts in the west and placing reporters in established mainstream media outlets, we damage our reputation thanks to screaming youtubias and news anchors who care more about views than reporting real news.

India Shot Down 6 Pakistani Aircraft During Sindoor: Air Chief

In this episode of Control Alt Defence, Shiv Aroor and Vishnu Som examine the Indian Air Force Chief’s confirmation of Pakistani aircraft losses during Operation Sindoor. Speaking at the LM Katre Memorial Lecture in Bengaluru, Air Chief Marshal Amarpreet Singh stated that six Pakistani military aircraft were destroyed, including five fighters in the air and one surveillance platform at a distance of approximately 300 kilometres, likely using the S-400 missile system. Lets explore the strategic implications of the strikes, the technology involved, and the broader context of air power in modern conflict. We also address the political narrative surrounding the operation and the Indian Air Force’s measured approach to disclosing operational outcomes.
A grounded, analytical look at one of the most significant air operations in recent years.

Face to Face with Hero; Did we really hit plane 300 km away?

The aim of the presentation was to cover what happened during Operation Sindoor and the IAF's thought process during the short but swift conflict that began.

https://x.com/connect_rishav/status/1956780803469222151 ---> Some new details revealed by former IAF airman (and MiD) IAF, who served as battery operator of the S-400 during Op Sindoor.

1. Apart from the aircraft kills, the S-400 unit also scored confirmed kills of cruise and ballistic missiles as well as a loitering munition!

2. He also confirmed that friendly Intel played an important part as the crew was being notified about the possible kind of threats they would be facing. Also, he mentioned that F-16 was among the aerial target neutralized by S-400. (they have proper electronic evidence).

3. "They did their best to find us but they failed. We didn't even get a scratch from the projectiles that Pakistan launched against us.", he said.
