From the official X account of the US Embassy, Islamabad
https://x.com/usembislamabad/status/202 ... 10375?s=20 ---> President Donald J. Trump said in his State of the Union address: "Our country has never been stronger. In my first 10 months, I ended 8 wars, including […] Pakistan and India – would have been a nuclear war. 35 million people, said the Prime Minister of Pakistan, would have died, if it were not for my involvement."
Shabash, the Paki embassy openly stating that the paki army cannot protect the PM of pakistan.
Op Sindoor 2 On? Silent, Indirect & Non-Kinetic? • Lt Gen R Shankar (R), Sree Iyer
26 Feb, 2026
After the kinetic phase of Operation Sindoor in 2025, has India shifted into a silent, indirect, or non-kinetic campaign against Pakistan? Is this phase about cyber, economic, diplomatic, intelligence, and water leverage — rather than missiles and airstrikes?
// a core commander of IA 2 corp, Pushkar said non-chalantly that Op Sindoor 2 is in full swing and it is ongoing.
Given videos of EF-Solaah coming dowen in flames any more doubts of invincibility of these tayyarahs!!
And Kuwaiti official sources are conforming several of them crashed!!.
Hmm no doubt many were taken down during last years conflict.
No wonder OM's counts kept going up and up following the conflict.
His last count was eleven planes down!!

Well here's the official count from the Ameerikans. This too in a totally uncontested airspace where those MQ9s are flying over Iran. They had the gall to talk about the incompetency of the IAF during op Sindoor.
"US Central Command has just now said three of its F-15 jets "flying in support of Operation Epic Fury" - the US operation against Iran - "went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident".

SRajesh ji,
it looks like they were brought down by friendly fire by the kuwaiti air defence, so no doubt that the kuwaitis will apologize profusely to trump and also pay for them, along with gifting him with the odd 747 or two or three
otherwise trump will tariff the hell out of these guys
It's the Amriki's saying that those are friendly fire. Kuwait city is less than 100km from Iranian border. Eventually Kuwait will be made to pay for any loss , be it by them or by the Iranians.

Chetak sir, some experts are theorising that at least one of the 3 F-15s was downed by an AAM (with an F-18 being painted as a likely culprit). Lack of tell tale SAM smoke plume, no jinking to avoid being painted by hostile SAM tracking radar etc being said to be the pointers for the theory.
