Pakistan’s Missing Nukes & King Charles–Trump Secret Pact? • Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan
PGurus May 6, 2026

Did OpSindoor damage or expose Pakistan’s covert nuclear infrastructure allegedly linked to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations? If not, where are those nuclear assets now? Has Pakistan quietly dispersed them under global pressure?

At the same time, reports and speculation around King Charles, the Crown Council, and Donald Trump’s deepening ties with the British establishment are creating geopolitical intrigue. Was a strategic offer made to Trump? What could Britain want in return as the global order rapidly shifts?



// according to Rajiv: india struck kirana hills, chagai hills, malir and nur khan. some cook off of these nuclear warheads could have happened triggering mini earth quakes. Boron was apparently used to shield radiation fall out. GE built out underground command control center in nur khan. brahmos went through ventilator shaft and blew up everything.

When Pakistan Navy Ran For Cover: Inside Indian Navy’s Operation Sindoor | This Is Exclusive

Former Western Naval Commander Vice Admiral S J Singh breaks his silence on the Indian Navy’s role in Op Sindoor. He details how the carrier battle group surged to full red alert after the Pahalgam terror strike, bottled up Pakistan’s fleet within 25 nautical miles of its coast and kept its aircraft grounded for 96 hours, giving India escalation control at sea. From “cold start” to “cold strike”, the Navy’s deterrent posture forced Pakistan to retreat without firing a shot.

From naval coercion and China’s growing carrier threat to the strategic future of Great Nicobar, this conversation reveals how India’s maritime doctrine is rapidly changing — and why the Indian Ocean may define the next great power contest.

Just In: Lab evaluations carried out by the DRDO and IAF made it possible to identify the radar emissions, frequency-agility logic and data link formats of the Chinese PL-15E missile used by Pakistan. These data were entered into threat libraries and translated into profiles exploitable by onboard systems. Direct access to the hardware removed the uncertainty that had until then weighed on the missile's detection and tracking modes, by providing measured and reproducible parameters for detection and categorization.

Software updates now deployed across Indian fighter fleets. Indigenous electronic warfare suites of the Tejas Mk1A and the Su-30MKI as well as the Rafale's SPECTRA system have received new jamming logics specific to the PL-15E- French defence media.

I am still bothered by the lack of concrete proof of PAF assets destroyed and acknowledged. USAF acknowledged multiple air assets including Reapers, AWACS, Refuelers F35s and F15 F18 destroyed in Iran conflict.

https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/wh ... 88045.html

Reports like above are speculative and remains unacknowledged officially.

[Aditya_V]

Neither Pakistan or China or the West are going to acknowledge Paki losses going against the narrative, various Videos of PAF pilots, Satellite imagery and thier behavior is enough proof, they would never keep relatively quiet on IWT, if it had not gone absolutely bad for them they would some kind of military action weekly till IWT was restored.

BTW has any military factually acknowledged all thier losses or US/Iran/ Israel, same with Ukraine Russian war, what about Nato soldier deaths in Ukraine Russia war. Pakistan admitted 20% of its causualties in Kargil in the year 2010. And still does not publish it's causualties in Operation Parakram, the Pakistani Army has given gallantry awards postmously to 155 soldiers, that is without counting the PAF battering. You want Munir, Qatar, China, USA to say thier weapons failed? Did Indonesia cancel Rafale and order J10 due to shootdowns?

War is politics. What political objectives the Pakis or their Uncles will achieve by acknowledging loses? They will have to win the support of at least their own Abduls and hence you are not going to get micro-level acknowledgements. However enough proof in terms of official briefings have been provided to win over our own Abduls. Still there are Abduls who will not trust our briefings. Abduls will believe in AP, Reuters and Bee Bee See. PTI or ANI reports will not be trusted.

From politics PoV we have declared any proxy attack on India will have a response. When we respond, we will have the capacity to defend and no nuclear blackmail, uncles or aunties can stop India from responding. Our response will neither disrupt our economic growth or will have any influence on our strategic autonomy or there will be any change in our terrorism policy. That message is loud and clear. The rest is noise and our folks have understood we need better noise management and the next time they will do better.
