That’s better. The postmortems have begun. As they should.

> unescorted night strike into enemy airspace.

What was rumour, mentioned in hushed tones in the dominion of twitter spaces is now recognised as fact.

Led an unescorted night strike into enemy airspace with advanced BVR defences. Executed low-level ingress & precise strikes despite multiple air & ground threats. Attacks so intense, enemy couldn’t retaliate.

Saluting unmatched bravery!

Def talks has some more detail on individual pilot medals and citations - 3 of them are AF kids !
All i can say is that on the first night we conducted ops equivalent to Yankee terms of “Mig Alley” and I has visions of that movie “ Flight of the Intruder” although Vietnam was ages ago!

Even subsequent ops involved some fighter formations ingressing and dropping payloads on high value targets.
Don’t think any modern AF would take that much risk IMO although the spectre of N stupidity might have created that urgency and they delivered alright!

Some interesting titbits like having to reboot systems when subjected to jamming and yet able to do multiple missions, multiple strikes by the same pilots, swing role in the same mission stand out.

I was already sweating as I read the mission profiles…Seemed really really intense.
Bakis painted us alright but couldn’t get the win, amply seen in their cricket fielding

The Untold Story of India’s Operation Sindoor | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Five months after Operation Sindoor, India has honoured the brave officers who led the mission with gallantry awards. Newly released citations reveal the operation’s true scale — a high-stakes air strike deep inside Pakistan, followed by intense dogfights, precision artillery fire, and targeted drone attacks across the Line of Control. It was a show of strategy, skill, and extraordinary courage. Tonight, we revisit the story behind Operation Sindoor — and the six acts of bravery that defined one of India’s boldest military operations in recent years.

Indeed! Only now we get to know how nail-biting things were. Also explains why the IAF was very slow & deliberate in revealing details

But its also time for reflection: how did we get so complacent that Bakis make us sweat? We are 10X their economy and 8X their defense budget!

And its not like this hasn't happened before - they made us sweat post-Balakot too. Not enough lessons seemed to have been learnt

And Knowing Pakis there will definitely be a next time, go for the PAF/PA/PN assets first, non uniformed Jihadis can come later

[S_Madhukar]

All i can say is that we need to buckle up against Cheeni threat … they will have 10x to throw at us and one of them will unfortunately have your name on it. Freebies for civilians should be matched by budgets for forces

[drnayar]

Pakis seem to "launched" their first "hyperspectral imaging satellite" .. wonder this can help distinguish decoys on the india side ?

[gakakkad]

I highly doubt porkistan is 410 billion dollar GDP. Look at the numbers last 5 years and how they have fluctuated . Some sialkoting there . India is atleast 15x the porkies and end of decade will become 20x + .

The pièce de résistance of the entire campaign emerged when Chad boys disabled Sargodha’s main runway and then mockingly flew above the airbase as PAF looked on bewildered.

The above by a person known as a military commentator with 20K followers. Mentioned @bharatrakshak in his bio. Is he a member of the forum and what is his forum name? In the award citations there is a mention of deep strike by aircrafts. Don't think flying above Sargodha is mentioned. It is his pinned post. Can anyone confirm if it happened?

[Hriday]

Do people remember that India officially stated that no Indian aircrafts crossed border during Indian strikes? Now the award citations says that IAF fighter jets conducted deep strike missions defeating the multi layered enemy SAM systems!! What is the point of these contradictions, that too on a not so sensitive topic? IAF officially denied Kirana hills strike also. Will not all these reduce the trustworthiness of IAF press statements in future?

Cross posting from TSP thread. This should also dispel the nuclear bluff.

Explosive interview with ex-CIA agent John Kiriakou.
- Discussion is a confirmation of widely suspected intuitions on BRF regarding the unholy alliance between TSP and Unkil.
- The Nobel Peace Laureate Obama's 'peaceful' activities with TSP.
- The famous #3 of Al Qaida and how OBL managed to escape from Tora Bora to safe sanctuary in TSP.
- TSPs nukes and Unkil's control on them.
- The need for Unkil to keep TSP happy by paying out millions of dollars in cash to ISI.
- Unkil expected India to strike in retaliation for Mumbai attacks and how GoI under Khangress chickened out.
- The Saudi - Unkil transactional relationship
- US narrative building in the media - how Mumbai attacks were parroted by all the networks as Al Qaida.
- The Saudi army is pretty much a Paki army.
