The operation is over now, if you want the latest details, I begrudgingly suggest following the posts on r/Pakistan because there’s barely a Pakistani community on lemmy.

Still active drones crossing the border, a ton of them shot down with lots of pictures and videos. Several videos of India and Pakistan’s airbases getting targeted and/or hit by missiles.

India lost 3 jets already during their attack, but they seem to be penetrating Pakistan’s airspace well with drones and at the very least reaching close to critical targets.

There’s also a very unconfirmed report of a pilot captured due to a video of what appears to be a parachute, but neither India nor Pakistan has made claims of any shot down jets today.

Dawg that’s how BVR fights work.

It’s still a dogfight, you don’t just sit there and let the missile do all the work.

Even before the crazy new range of China’s PL-15, PAF was using AIM-120s and shot down a MiG-21 5 years ago.

Every airforce hides their tactics but you can open any DCS video using BVR missiles to see how difficult it can get

Fun stuff

They still do.

The nice thing about being on lemmy is that these morons get shredded even in the .world community when they roll in with the “ThIs iS wHaT yOu gEt FOr vOTiNg tRuMp” as if Biden didn’t just full send a 15 month long destruction and killing of Gaza.

UK being satisfactory even though its best journalism is crapload BBC and Sky News which is still a plume of smoke that came out of Murdoch’s bum.

Too lazy to check if actual Zionist or Indian larping as a Zionist lmao

Technically no because this is still 1:1 with the 2019 skirmish events so far.

The only difference is this time the army is in total control in Pakistan after ousting Imran Khan, so there’s actually a chance Pakistan won’t or fail to retaliate in a meaningful manner.

Either way, I hope to see J-10s v Rafales or JF-17s v Tejas or F-16 v everything lol.

I mean its possible they might actually be using them only for surveillance without anything on the hardpoints due to the larger range, but I like how the wikipedia file photo is a reaper carrying two hellfire AGMs and a fat paveway LGB for good measure.

“Surveillance” lol

I said the same thing about Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi negotiating a ceasefire and $50 billion dollar Gaza reconstruction plan as if any of those country governments would spend even a cent on the Palestinians.

Edit: which they did without representation from Gaza

Lol my friends joke Lockheed Martin uses Windows for the F-35 software

Saying this like IWT wasn’t already a barely functioning agreement that was actually enforced lol.

Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it’s not even funny.

It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.

IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can’t permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.

I’m all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.

This is cool but I also want to take this opportunity to point out SUPARCO started as a prestigious NASA partner that eventually devolved into yet another army staffed office whose only purpose is to collect a paycheck and inhibit any actual growth.

ie they could easily just choose literally anyone to be the astronaut since Pakistan axed it’s space program decades ago.

I think this all but confirms HTS is just another uncle sam project with some help from Turkey, meaning they will likely do jack all to Israel on their border and also likely end up the same as Iraq.

China watching the Houthis fail to hit a single ship with a 30 missile salvo:

Even with supersonic anti ship missiles, successfully attacking the US navy is notoriously difficult, to the point that they’ve actually averted invading Taiwan unless some golden opportunity falls into their lap.

Not to be that guy but both Biden and Trump wanted TikTok either gone or kneecapped to perform the same function as Facebook.

Meanwhile every Muslim country government bar Yemen: Nah, I don’t really feel like it

Could be worse. Could be Pakistan ransoming every startup industry for IMF loans used exclusively for the Army’s land development schemes lol.

Only place One of few places on Earth where cars consistentantly appreciate in value every month even with high mileage/usage because the supply chain is so utterly screwed.

Right seriously, I’ve even so many report it as “raids” which makes it sound like they have troops on the ground.

I don’t know what the actual reasoning is but the 49/46% on Cambodia and Vietnam sounds an awful lot like how we still embargo Cuba like decades after failing to overthrow Castro.
