Operation Sindoor - The Air Campaign Decoded

Purely from a military perspective, this mind blowing analysis by Tom Cooper is very enlightening. The  Indian political objectives guided the caliberated, selective 'targeting with precision' response. Every airpower enthusiast has much to learn from this short & swift campaign. It maybe worthwhile to watch the full nearly 56 minutes video to fathom the action, in times of competing narratives.


While I was uploading this video, I got news that Pakistan has elevated Gen Asim Munir, the Pakistan Army Chief, to the rank of Field Marshal. Pakistan had declared victory over India, after this relatively brief conflict.

The level of mis/disinformation being given out by Pakistan, and other international media too, is mind boggling and that too in this day and age. 

War never solves any problem, but is the only option left for India, if Pak is not ready to accept reality that terrorism and lies cannot go on forever. 

Pakistan's state policy that encourages the use of terrorism, the differentiation of good & bad terrorists, are at the centre of the problem. Will Pakistan desist from using non state actors, after what they are making their citizens to believe, has been a victory in this short conflict? Only time will tell. My sixth sense tells me that the lies and cover-up by the Pak political & military leadership are not pointing in the right direction.

Being an eternal optimist, I still do hope, and pray, that better sense prevails in the Pak leadership, for the good of Pakistan, the region, the world, and humanity. Terrorism has no place in our world.

Jai Hind
