The ramjet 155mm artillery shells in a few years will render much more of Pakistan within the range of cross-border firing. Indian air offensive and defensive systems already are very formidable.
I imagine that technology to reliably intercept hypersonic missiles is years away (if at all possible) and Pakistan will need to get it from China or the US, it cannot achieve those technologies on their own.
It seems to me that Pakistan's only reliable way to inflict damage on India before its defense abilities get knocked out in Op Sindoor 2 is to have an effective large sleeper cell network in India that can kill people and blow up things. For that, the eastern borders of India are of prime importance - penetration through the western borders of India is much harder, so I believe.
Therefore, the center of action is going to switch to Bangladesh, and Op Sindoor 2 will be primarily intelligence agencies fighting it out in Bangladesh -- the Pakistanis seeking to create assets there, and Indian intelligence trying to neutralize these assets. If Pakistan succeeds in penetrating India with jihadi cells, then a massive coordinated jihadi attack is to be expected. Massive visible damage in India will allow the Pakistani Army to sell its story of "victory" no matter how devastating the Indian retaliation is.
Pakistan may be expected to try what Ukraine did in Russia - smuggle in drones and position them close to Indian military assets for a surprise attack, with the drones too close for effective defensive measures.

Sending jihadis by sea caught India by surprise on 26/11 - it too was a jihadi route.
The recent Delhi blast network - that was caught by happenstance, starting with an investigation into pamphlets in Kashmir. That too was yet another jihadi route.
So I don't think "our strategic planners" have anticipated everything, even though Pakistan has decided to go the Jihadi route.
Re: Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb, there is no evidence of American involvement; in fact the risk of an American leak to the Russians was too high. India's population density and the difficulty of doing something unnoticed does make a similar operation much more difficult in India compared to Russia, IMO.

Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
There was an extract from the speech of ADG Strat Communications in some forum that was tweeted by ANI last week. He talked about the sheer deluge of cyber attacks and 'Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation' by Pakistan right from the word go. 3 crore cyber attacks on NSE itself were recorded. I think it is time to consider the Pakistani Info and Cyber Warfare setups also as legitimate targets for kinetic operations in the next round.
Have shared some thoughts on that along with some media.

Blog Link
Have shared some thoughts on that along with some media.
Twitter Link
Blog Link
On Blurring the Line Between Cognitive and Kinetic Warfare
What caught my attention was the very specific statistics that General Sharda put out in his talk.
However, the most interesting part was the fact that the attacks were launched within 30-40 minutes.
THIS is what caught my interest.
Let me explain why.
The sheer numbers of attacks and their ‘bombardment’ through cyberspace within 30-40 minutes means that the Paakis were already prepared even before the first Indian munition was fired on 7th May 2025.
They knew India would attack. And they were prepared for it.
They were prepared not only militarily, but also in terms of info warfare and cyber attacks. I think it would be a fair assumption that such planning would already have been in place since long. And when the time came, it all was let loose in a torrent.
This was the same template that they let loose during Balakot when the then Propagandu-in-Chief was the first one to announce the strikes, thereby taking the initiative in the war of narratives.
First ‘true visuals’ of the strike too were let out on social media by the same Propagandu-in-Chief soon thereafter. In doing so, Bhikharistan took a lead on the narrative front.
How effective that was the long run, I shall discuss later in this article.
My reason for bringing that out all over again was to highlight the fact that Paakis flooded the social media landscape with so many falsehoods and different versions of actual truth that true facts virtually drowned in that deluge.
As Maj Gen Sharda mentioned in his video embedded in the first tweet, we were bombarded with ‘Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation’ on the first day of Op Sindoor.
Hereinafter, as per Paaki plan, we were to once again be playing catch-up on narrative front while military facts would get obliterated under this flood of ‘Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation.’
Unfortunately, Paakis were once again caught fighting the previous war!
This time, there was no questions of missing visuals of Indian attacks and utter and complete impotence of the Brown Panted Ones to either prevent them or retaliate against them.
This time the Awaam themselves provided proof.
.
.
Btw, don’t miss what is said in the video above.
A minister in Pakistan Govt announces publicly in their very SENATE that they have attacked Indian Dams via a cyber attack.
What bigger a smoking gun can we ask for?
IMO, in this instance of Op Sindoor, the battle was convincingly won by India both in the Kinetic as well as the Cognitive Domain.
However, fact remains that even though Kinetic engagements may have petered down, attacks in the Cognitive domain still continue. The good General himself says so.
This is where I come to the question that triggered this chain of thoughts :
Is it time to consider Kinetic actions against warriors of the Cognitive domain as well, whenever the inevitable next round comes?
Mull over it for a moment before moving ahead.
Personally, I most definitely believe that time has come to physically eliminate the IW infrastructure, including its manpower, whenever the next opportunity presents itself.
A keyboard warrior in today’s world is just as lethal as one with a rifle in his hand.
Period.
.
.
It is a given that info warfare is a highly delegated operation with multiple nerve-centres feeding millions of individual social media users. However, fact remains that nerve centres play a highly important role in setting narratives and giving course-corrections wherever needed. While Info Warfare goes on unabated across national boundaries and without any distinction between uniformed and non-uniformed ‘warriors’, official information channels still play a key role in providing critical raw material for manipulation on social media.
These nerve-centres are what are identifiable on ground & should ideally form part of the target list whenever the next Indian missiles & bombs fly Westwards. By choking the flow of info from official channels thru physical elimination, Info Ops on the other side will definitely be hobbled.
.
.
The beast needs to be dealt with, not just in the same coin, but with brute physical force.
Once again, as General Sharda mentioned in the video above : ‘War is about making the adversary submit to your Will.’
To that I shall add that any & every means towards achieving that end is justifiable. Even if it means physically destroying the network supplying narratives & inputs to Info Warriors, as well as Info Warriors themselves.
THIS is the sum total of what I want to say via this blog post.
As far as the ‘FANTASTIC’ Bhikharistani win of Feb 2019 goes, it did them a fat load of good barely 6 months later when India abrogated Article 370 and all that they could do was make a song and dance about it!
Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
To put it as concisely as I can - given India's increasing edge in military power over Pakistan, Pakistan's future attacks on India:
1. Will use novel attack vectors or existing ones used in novel ways.
2. Will require early images of damage and chaos caused by the attacks. The military significance of the attacks is not relevant - it must generate lots of images, video and headlines. It must occur across the geography.
3. Will assume that Pakistan will absorb and suffer through whatever India does in retaliation, with the key assumption that India will not do any decapitating strikes. By decapitation here I mean anything that hurts the corp commanders and above, or anyone of significance in their federal government.
4. It will probably also proceed under the assumption that India. will not change the international border or the Line of Control. This might be the assumption that proves to be false.

Expect them to launch ballistic missiles on day 1 itself.. there won’t be any strategy to outlast the conflict. Like Saddam and his Scuds in ‘91. Create ruckus and hope desi sellout media will do ronadhona at global scale. Plus .5 to do spectacular sabotage on infra and property. Chief mullah will have his Gulfstream ready and loaded to flee.

Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
The motive for Pak to attack is, along with all the jihadi rewards, that the Indian response tends to unite Pakistan’s fractured society. One day, it will fail to do even that, and that is finis for Pakistan as we have come to know it.
Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
It depends, on 27 Feb 19 capture Group Captain Abhinandan was a victory, Operation Sindoor has been a dividing force since the heartland saw the defeat. The destruction in Balakote on 26 Feb 19 was hidden from the public. So it costs both ways.
In a way it helped us, since most Pakis were out at Night trying to be the first to capture an IAF pilot, started taking Videos of PAF incapability

I am very charmed by this dry and sarcastic narration of a future conflict where the lumber one air force is demolished.
Gems like “strategic depth of a parking lot”, “ The speed of the R37M makes the JF17 look stationary, bypassing the lighter fighters like the first wife of a PAF general who just brought his fresh 20-year-old fourth wife home.”, “ . A Pakistani tanker pilot discovers he has become a static target for a missile system. The S400 remains indifferent to his bravery or his cinematic slow motion social media uploads.”

LeT threat to Delhi?
Posted also in Internal Security thread.

Delhi on high alert over LeT's terror plan to 'avenge' Pak mosque blast, temple near Red Fort on hitlist
Sources reportedly indicated that the outfit is allegedly seeking to avenge a February 6 blast at a mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan.

https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-ne ... 54914.html
A terror alert has reportedly been sounded for Delhi over threat of attack plans by Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) targeting religious places, particularly a temple near Red Fort, to “avenge” a recent blast in Islamabad.
At least two senior Delhi Police officers, who asked not to be identified, told HT that the first set of inputs regarding terror attacks by LeT in Delhi, especially at religious places, were received before the Republic Day celebrations. Accordingly, high alert was sounded across the city and security arrangements in and around religious establishments were increased. The first meeting of special cell officers happened around the time the terror attack alerts were received, planning the security apparatus and other anti-terror measures to tackle possible attacks.
The officers said that similar terror attack threat inputs were received after the February 6 suicide bombing attack in a Shia mosque in Pakistan’s Islamabad that claimed at least 31 people and left dozens injured.
Meanwhile, specific intelligence inputs, reported by ANI and PTI news agencies on Saturday, suggested that the group may be plotting an improvised explosive device (IED) attack and that a temple in the Chandni Chowk area could be a potential target.

The Iranian low cost Shaheed drone (USD 20K) seem to be overwhelming the defenses of the GCC countries. It is not about the success rates, but the cost imposed on the enemy. Apparently the UAE for example is spending about USD 1 bn/ daily in trying to stop them. In fact for every $1 Iran spends on attacking UAE, they are spending $15 odd defending.
Also, one more lesson that needs to be taken away and hardwired into the minds of India planners is the need for low cost blunt weapons like Shahed drones. Even when you are getting pounded so badly by the US and Israel, proliferation of low cost weaponry can deny enemy victory. We need anti-fragile systems.
And ironically, it is a lesson Pak has already taught us with their asymmetric warfare already- using cheap terrorists to cause trouble in India. The cost of deployment of CAPF, RR is economically unwise. Just because our economy is doing well now doesn;t mean that this solution is feasible in the long-term. Tomorrow, a poorer Pakistan, can be bought out with fewer dollars, to send more terrorists. And similarly impoverished trouble makers from Myanmar. We will be looking at financially ruinous wars. We really need to learn to fight different wars differently and not opt for uber- duper gold plated solutions to everything. Match horses to courses. Else we end up making the same mistakes that the US made. How MUTU will that be?

Times like this that I appreciate the big leap that Indian Air Defence displayed during Sindoor by incorporation L-70'S, Shikas and Tungushkas into Akashteer. It's an upgrade we are not fully appreciative of till now.The cost of the drones is based on estimates of $20,000-50,000 per unit, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
In contrast, UAE defense costs are significantly higher. Each PAC-3 MSE interceptor used against ballistic missiles costs $3-5 million, according to the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance.
For ballistic missiles alone, 152 intercepts multiplied by two shots each totals $966 million-$1.61 billion. Drone defense adds further costs: interceptors averaging $500,000-1.5 million per drone killed 506 drones, costing roughly $322.5-967.5 million.
The total UAE expenditure on air defense has been so far estimated at $1.31-2.61 billion, around three to 13 times the amount Iran spent on the attacks. For drones specifically, every $1 Iran spent prompted an estimated $15-35 in UAE defense spending, underscoring the extreme imbalance.

And now I dhoti shivering at the thoughts of future conflicts. Pakistan had only launched few hundred drones. Just imagine them sending 1000 to 1500 drones (price of roughly 1 high end jet like J10).
1. Would India be able to defend itself?
2. If yes, would be better able to sustain such attacks repeatedly say for continuous 7 to 10 days ?
IMHO, India should double down and procure greater than 500 L&T Sudarshan CIWS (L70 replacement) instead of just 240 (Is there a better way to know the exact number to procure).
God knows why they are not expediting this procurement. Courtesy: iadb.in

Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
Many reports and 'analysis' (some part true, some may be exaggerated)
Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited UAE and reportedly signed a defense cooperation deal with Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Ukraine is proposing a swap
Supply large volumes of low-cost drone interceptors (~$2.1K each)
In exchange for scarce, high-end systems like the Patriot missile system. (~3.9 M each)
The argument centers on cost asymmetry in air defense:
Some claim Ukraine can produce ~1,000 interceptors/day.
& Gulf countries are already engaging Ukrainian expertise.
Key Caveats (important)

Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
SRajesh ji,
It must be in the ops orders that advancing Indian troops will always stop, and then reverentially bow their heads in silence so that the porkis don't feel disrespected or pained or even belittled by our uncultured display of impiety .........

Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
A Butcher named Gopal Patha has better clarity of thought than the Army chief in defense of his people. Just like the disease of appeasement and Pseudo secularism has affected our institutions, the Armed forces are no different. Hence our Generals end up treating Pakistan as another nation just like ours and their Muslims as ours and not as a disease that need eliminated. If they are assured that the bombs that fall on them are Haram and they will end up with Satan rather than Allah, not a single terrorists will exist to fight Pak's war if Jannat is denied to them or they are assured that they end up with Satan. They fight this war with Kafir India to go to Jannat and avoid Jahannum. Everyone has to accept this reality. There is no escape from it.

Noakhali, 1946-on the night of the auspicious Lakshmi Puja-Gholam Sarwar Hussein's mob (Miyar Fauj) stormed the home of Zamindar Rajendralal Roy Chowdhury, where both prominent members of the community and ordinary people had gathered. What followed were flames, gunshots, screams, iconoclasm, death, destruction, looting, rape, brutality......and unimaginable savagery.
A harsh lesson from our history: when your enemy is cannibalistic, lacking a moral compass, integrity, values, or anything that distinguishes a human from a beast, such noble restraint on our part may be perceived as weakness. Our memory must remain alive. We must know our enemy and understand how they operate.

This is floating around on the net

Reportedly, a big move is being discussed.
Hush Hush voices say Modi Sarkar has decided to suspend/disconnect secure communication hotlines used by top leadership in future war with pukestan.
Aim- To block any diplomatic efforts (especially Saudi & US) on mediation requesting Bharat to stop war or ceasefire.
The development, if confirmed, indicates only one thing crystal clear- No abbu of bhikharistan will be able to save their illegitimate child from Bharat's wrath....indicating any such war at any time chosen by Bharat will be FINAL WAR.
Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
Sigh, go back and see what they said at the time of combat, not this retrospective feel-good stuff.
In any case: The operation took place in the early hours, with 24 missiles striking 9 targets between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM.
None of the five times of namaz is any time close to 1:00 AM.
---
Across all official briefings immediately after Operation Sindoor, Indian officials consistently emphasized three points about timing:
1. The strikes were conducted between 1:05 a.m. and 1:30 a.m.
This was stated directly by Col. Sofiya Qureshi during the May 7 press briefing.
She said the operation was carried out “between 1:05 am and 1:30 am on Wednesday” while showing surveillance footage.
2. The timing was chosen for operational precision and to avoid civilian harm
Officials repeatedly stressed that the strikes were:
* Measured
* Non‑escalatory
* Proportionate
* Responsible
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized that the action was “carried out very thoughtfully and in a measured manner” and that no civilian population was harmed.
Col. Qureshi also stated explicitly:
“No civilian targets or military installations have been hit.”
This implies the timing was selected to minimize collateral damage, though they did not mention anything about religious timings (e.g., namaz) in the contemporaneous briefings.
3. The strikes were timed to ensure surprise and maximize effectiveness
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh described the operation as using:
* Precision capability
* Niche technology
* Careful selection of warheads
She said all targets were hit with “clinical efficiency”, which aligns with the choice of a pre‑dawn window when movement is minimal and detection is harder.
-----
So now, weep - what, no shatrubodh? Why did they restrain themselves? "Measured, non-escalatory, proportionate, ressponsible" -- how irresponsible, cowardly, not taking into account the inhumane and barbarous nature of the enemy, blah, blah, blah.
Keep crying.

A_Gupta ji,
the problem is that of shatruboda, this is the cancerous disease
what the army guy said was but a symptom. The amriki army f(*ked itself because it went woke
The timing was chosen to prevent human causalities, especially women and children, period, and no one, repeat no one, mentioned the word "namaz".
Your interpretation is a stretch at best and woke, at worst
we spend our time nit picking and very frequently end up missing the forest for the trees and that is a civilizational failing
from the 1930s onwards, driven by BIF narratives, we foolishly created false gods, venerated traitors, charlatans, and snake oil salesmen while callously casting aside the real sweat and blood heroes, and guys who sacrificed their lives for the cause of India, and now this woke / liberal / sickular cohort is trying to make a comeback, just to muddy the waters
this army guy is either bucking for a governorship or an ambassadorship and he doesn't give a rats as to who else says what
sabka malik ek hai ki nahi lekin ye army chief ka malik woke hai
who says that "sabka malik ek hai" when clearly it is not true and a great percentage of the world's population will take offence to this statement
25 years ago, ''Sarv Dharm Stahls" were nonexistent.
Now, to look liberal and get quick promotions, Colonels and Generals turn temples into ''Sarv Dharma Stahls''
Maybe that's why till you become Chief you even start caring about namaz timings of terrorists inside terror camps

Re: Operation Sindoor - Analysis on Future Scenarios
Your post deoesnt close anything. You mistake some PR statements made to set up a narrative of a country that can practice self-restraint in the exercise of its killing power (contrast with Israel and the US and the mess they have blundered us all into, or Putin’s unending war in Ukraine.) and a competency only you and some other BRFers and some idiot YouTubers have of Shatrubodh, and none of the actual people who actually devoted their life and put their lives on the line, none of the professionals in charge have. When Indians don’t play the narrative game, you all are upset, and when it does play the game, you go - Shatrubodh, Shatrubodh, Shatrubodh, as though it is some talisman of your utterly supreme strategic thinking.
India had some objectives in Op Sindoor, and achieved them, and as it turns out, achieved them by striking an hour after midnight. India was as lethal as it intended to be, and after Pakistan tried to retaliate, gave a master class in how much more lethal it could be when it so chose. The combined geniuses of Shatrubodh on BRF could not achieve that in twenty five lifetimes. I mean, if you can you do, if you can’t you BRF.
The fact is that India is not in active hostilities, while all these Shatrubodh powers like Russia, Israel and the USA are stuck in wars they started because of their super-duper Shatrubodh and that they have no clue as to how to end.
If I recall correctly, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Bilal Arif Salafi was shot and stabbed to death by unidentified gunmen during or just after namaz. This namaz thing won’t keep from happening what needs to happen. Don’t let the PR narrative fool you.

A_Gupta ji,
You are making me say what is floating around the net
he is mouthing some woke political party's communally slanted jihadi views
and there are many such "aspiring" jernails, more than willing to play ball
and A_Gupta ji,
in another life, one not only did, and one is also on BRF.
go figure
