Brief Rundown of War Events

False flag operation in Pahalgam

Within minutes of the RAW-staged terror attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, in which 26 tourists were killed, Indian leaders and the Indian media blamed Pakistan without providing a shred of evidence and ramped up war hysteria.

India’s First Round with Missiles

After troops mobilization and activation of airbases and the Indian naval fleet, the Indian air force (IAF) stealthily fired a barrage of missiles on civilian targets in six cities of Pakistan at 01.05 a.m on night 6/7 May. The air operation was codenamed ‘Operation Sindhoor’, and seventy five fifth generation fighter jets including Rafael were airborne. India justified its brazen acts on the plea that only terrorist training camps were targeted.

PAF Restrained Counterpoise

Within minutes, the alert Pakistan air force (PAF) exercised its right of self-defence and retaliated with lightning speed.  PAF’s air assaults with 40 jets spearheaded by JF 17 and J 10 C, and equipped with PL 15 BVR missiles, succeeded in dowing six Indian jets in the intense dogfight which included three Rafael, and one each of the SU 30 , MiG 29 and Mirage 2000.

PAF achieved air superiority within one hour and it dominated the skies. Pakistan exercised strategic restraint and didn’t exploit its advantageous position by striking Indian airbases and other military installations.

India’s much trumpeted aircraft carrier Vikrant offensively deployed in North Arabian Sea to target Karachi harbor sped away to the shores of safety after seeing the operational preparedness and intentions of alert Pakistan Navy.

Complete failure of the first round led by invincible Rafael jets was inconceivable for the IAF and unimaginable for the Indian leadership. Pakistan’s swift backlash was mind boggling for India and its patrons.

India’s 2nd Round with Drones – 8 May

Recoiling like an injured cobra, India launched its second round on 8 May with hundreds of Israeli supplied armed Heron drones in swarms in all the major cities of Pakistan to spread fear and panic. A misinformation campaign was also launched to mislead the world that no Rafael was lost, and that one F-16 was shot down. This round also misfired after 84 drones were shot down, and no casualty or damage took place in Pakistan.

India’s 3rd Round with BrahMos – 9/10 May

This was too much for hegemonic and megalomaniac Indian civil and military leadership. Seething with rage, India launched its third round on the night of 9/10 May with Brahmos missiles to target major PAF air bases and other sensitive areas.

Pakistan’s air defence system based on AWACs, low/medium/high altitude radars, electronic and jamming capabilities, managed to scuttle most of the attacks. Minor damages were incurred to 4-5 airbases that were quickly repaired and made operational.

Pakistan’s Bunyan Al Marsus – 10 May

Pakistan's Bunyan Al Marsus

Till that time, Pakistan exercised exceptional restraint and behaved responsibly. India was not censured for its reckless and irresponsible behaviour, and had been allowed to have its way.

It was time for the Pakistan military to set aside its policy of restraint, and to change its posture from defensive to offensive defence in the early hours of 10 May by launching Operation Bunyan Al Marsus by air and ground.

With six topmost quality jets, two S-400  air defence batteries, 80 electric grids and two BrahMos missiles depots destroyed, satellite communications jammed, IAF was virtually grounded and was left with no sting to sally out.

Pakistan’s ground troops, tanks and AFVs supported by surface-to-surface missiles and artillery rockets started attacking Indian forces on a broad front across the LoC and the border under a favourable air umbrella. By 10 a.m., they had gained superiority of strategic orientation. By 3 pm, they were in a formidable position to launch their manoeuvre of exploitation towards deeper objectives under the air umbrella.

The Indian military command started panicking after 10 a.m. and by 3 a m.  their jangled nerves were at the breaking point, and they begged for immediate ceasefire.11 Indian airbases, two Bde HQs, one Bn HQ, artillery gun position, radar station, command & control centre, supply and fuel depots, terrorists camps, and dozens of forward posts were destroyed in IOK.

Frightened Indian troops were raising white flags and were on the run, while advancing Pak troops captured 8 km deep salients in two sectors of IOK. The bulk of the Indian jets were shifted backwards in safe zones.
Rest is history.

Pakistan Celebrating, India Mourning

While Pakistan is celebrating its outstanding victory, India is mourning, crying and at the same time expressing their impotent rage by blaming the Indian military, Modi and the USA.

They are not getting reconciled with their shameful defeat and that too within four days.

India Converting Defeat into Victory

In order to pacify the outraged people of India, and to once again throw wool in the eyes of the world, Modi announced that Operation Sindhoor had not ended and Phase- 2 would soon be launched. News of 70 Israeli pilots in Srinagar, and the US air cargos carrying war munitions in Delhi were circulated. The presence of Afghan important leader Ibrahim Saddar in Delhi throughout the war was played up.

The Indian leaders and Indian media are vainly trying to convert their humiliating defeat into victory through false narratives and concocted stories. It is the old habit of India, and it is once again applying this tried out strategy.

In the past, the western patrons of India used to substantiate India’s false narratives and false flag operations, and would cover up their crimes  against humanity.

This time, the anti- Pakistan elements and the cult followers have taken up this job of undermining Pakistan’s victory and good deeds. India’s supporters in Pakistan are using Modi’s rhetoric to spread fear.

Morons Promoting Indian Narratives

Fake news

The morons in Pakistan are selling the India-dictated narratives to degrade the achievements of our army and the air force. They have failed.

It is so strange and bizarre, how happily they are subscribing to India’s fake narratives to undermine their mother country and its institutions including the army.

They naively think that the promoters would remain safe from the dangerous designs and malice of India, and would earn kudos and rewards from them.

They forget how the Indian Muslims are being persecuted in India, and forget how they mistreated Bangladesh and turned it into its colony.

Similar would have been our fate if God forbid, India had succeeded in the last conflict. Could Pakistan have stopped the onslaught of Indian military and survived without its armed forces? Who would have saved AJK, Gilgit Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan!

Unpardonable Behavior of Hissing Snakes

The hissing snakes in the grass derive a pleasure in stinging and degrading the esteem, pride and honour of our armed forces.

It is pathetic , abhorrent and despicable to see the extent of their moral degradation. It is more painful to read the pungent remarks of senior veterans, so-called intellectuals and drawing room Napoleons, who are deriving huge benefits from their mother organisations.

The absconding Pakistani journalists residing in London, Ottawa and Washington are the most poisonous snakes, whose fangs must be removed at the earliest.

Pakistan’s Celebrations of Maarka e Haq Marred

Pakistan's Celebrations Youm-e-Tashakur

Like India, the cults in Pakistan are also mourning and crying over the spilt milk by finding faults to mar Pakistan’s well- earned celebrations. They overlook the Quranic injunction that the worst form of mankind is the dual-faced hypocrites.

All patriotic Pakistanis should be proud of the grand success of Pakistan armed forces, which the whole world has acknowledged and admired.  

The Historic Victory

It was an uneven fight between the Goliath and David; the former initiated the war stealthily. Pakistan exercised its right of self-defence and its first response was calibrated, measured and restrained.

The Pakistan military skillfully and adroitly changed its posture from defence to offensive defence on 10 May and within three hours floored the big giant.

Wasn’t it an outstanding feat? Doesn’t it remind us of the fantastic victories achieved against vastly superior adversaries by the Muslims in the past?

No Muslim country could gain victory over its attacking non-Muslim enemy after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and that too against a bigger adversary. Israel is a living example, which has nailed down the entire Arab world. 

Pakistani forces achieved this miracle without using its tactical or strategic nukes and remained within the paradigm of a conventional war in which India has a huge edge.

Pakistan outclassed India on all the platforms, which stunned India and amazed the world. Look at the image of Pakistan and its armed forces where it stands today, and compare it with its status till 6 May!

Centre of Gravity

Notwithstanding the heroics of all the three services, it must be remembered that the centre of gravity of the three pillars of the military resided in GHQ and in Gen Asim Munir.

The land forces are the ultimate deciders of the fate of a war or a conflict. Others are in a supporting role. Within the ground forces, the thinned skinned infantry is the queen of the battle, which captures and holds the ground.

Gen Asim braved the malicious media war against him,  and the existential threat of terrorism. He removed the fissures and gelled all ranks, motivated his officers and men, prepared them for war, played a key role in saving Pakistan’s economy from defaulting, making friends, and breaking Pakistan’s diplomatic isolation. He even befriended Pakistani expats.

He had his fingers in all the pies, but his topmost priority was the defence of Pakistan at all costs. It was owing to his sincerity and honesty of purpose and complete trust in Allah, that Almighty Allah rewarded him. His heroic posturing and brilliance in the battlefield, gelled the divided nation, which is his biggest achievement. He has recorded his name in the annals of history, and the future generations will remember him with approbation.

The Negativity of the Brainwashed

Look at the attitude of the brainwashed cults in Pakistan. Throughout the period of war, they have been circulating pro-India and anti-Pakistan narratives, and praying for India’s victory, so that their hero could be released from jail. When things tilted in favor of Pakistan, they chimed that it was a fixed match. They cribbed, as to why Nawaz Sharif remained tight-lipped?

After Pakistan achieved victory, the prophets of doom are trying to mar the celebrations of Pakistan in their bid to lessen the frustrations of India.

They are at a loss and are dumbfounded, as to why there was no loss of PAF jets, or military infrastructure, or nuclear and missile assets, why Pak soldiers didn’t suffer massive casualties, why the war ended abruptly on the request of India?

Left with no ammunition to fire, instead of thanking Allah, they are now passing adverse comments over Field Marshal (FM) rank. I will write about it separately.

India Fell into Holes it Dug for Pakistan

Indian Army in Danger

Man proposes, God disposes. As you sow, so shall you reap. India dug numerous holes for Pakistan, but fell into its own holes.

The internal security situation in India today is abysmal. To hide its shame and humiliation, and save himself from the people of India, Modi has dangled a deceptive carrot saying that Phase 2 of ‘Operation Sindhoor’ would be launched soon to destroy Pakistan. It has excited the denizens in Pakistan and upped their sagging morale. Their hopes in others and wishful cravings wouldn’t end.

Wishful Pre-suppositions

If wishes were horses! All their delusional thoughts and hopes have fizzled out. India’s grandiose plans are evaporating in thin air. India will keep licking its wounds and will be removing its internal social, political and economic frailties, and weak areas of its three military services for at least one year if not more.

By the time India manages to overcome its military shortfalls, Pakistan with the help of China, would have marched well ahead  in all the relevant fields. The process of fresh induction from China has already been set in motion.

From where Modi will buy, courage, guts, will to fight and die? Or Eiman and Faith in Allah, and craze to embrace martyrdom?

From where India will find committed friends like China, Turkiye, Azerbaijan and Bangladesh (BD)? China has guaranteed the security of Pakistan and is carrying out the biggest PLA drills in Northern Areas.

India’s hopes in Afghanistan as an ally in any future conflict with Pakistan seems to be fading after the Pakistan, China Afghanistan foreign ministers meeting in Beijing yesterday.

From where India will find the army chief and the air force chief, as robust and strong willed as FM Asim Munir and ACM Sidhu?

The only option left with India is proxy war supplemented with hybrid war. It has once again exposed its ugly face by resorting to a cowardly act of terrorism in Khuzdar on 20 May in which three schoolchildren and two others were martyred.

Dark Days for India

Modi's days are numbered

Modi’s days are numbered. India is looked down upon by the US, France, Israel and Russia as a liability. Their defence industries have suffered huge market losses. Would these countries like to further damage the reputation of their weapon systems? It will be like reinforcing failure.

Lastly, India should worry about the safety of the Indian Union which is in big danger due to proactive 18 separatist movements and dozens of insurgencies in various parts of India.

Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh regions are the probable targets of China for annexation. India’s turbulent seven sister states in the NE are threatened by China and BD, and are in danger of getting amalgamated into Greater Bengal. Instead of ‘Jai Hind’, the people of BD now chant ‘Pakistan Zindabad’.

Message for the Zombies

The zombies in Pakistan are requested to stop spinning doomsday scenarios and circulating fake news, just to get some thumbs up on the websites and the Facebook. Enjoy rather than stew in the juice of prejudice, hate and envy.
