Folks, sharing some thoughts on the recent statement by the CDS in Singapore regarding potential losses of IAF aircraft during Op Sindoor. Here goes ..
At the outset, I offer my heartiest congratulations to Paakis for their spectacular victory in Kargil where they brought down three IAF aircraft and for the even more FANTASTIC victory of 1971 wherein they shot down anywhere between 45 – 65 IAF aircraft! There’s a video as well!
In the same vein, I also offer my heartfelt commiserations to my fellow Indians who are beating their chests and doing R@ndi Rona about having lost Op Sindoor because IAF lost some aircraft!
Before moving ahead, I will offer a simple, two-step advice to such folks who cannot digest the loss in Op Sindoor. Here it is :
Step 1 : Take a deep breath.
Step 2 : Hold it for 29 minutes!
Must try it!
It will help you find eternal peace. Sachchi!
Moving on, never mind the death and destruction visited by the IAF and IA on Bhikharistan without any pity or remorse over the course of those 88 hours!
Never mind the utterly destroyed and humbled terror headquarters at Muridke and Bahawalpur!
Never mind the dead Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf of PAF who was actually killed in a road accident instead of the Brahmos Strike at Bholari where he was working on a Saab Erieye AEW&C platform of the PAF.
Never mind the explosions at Kirana Hill because IAF never knew about it and absolutely NEVER bombed it!
Never mind the fact that during Op Sindoor, IAF addressed dozens of targets as far as 300km inside Pakistan with possibly a hundred or so IAF aircraft in the air together at the same time while overwhelming PAF and PA air defences!
Never mind the fact that .. well .. never mind .. please keep minding all facts because the IAF lost some aircraft in doing so!
Also, never mind the fact that the CDS himself mentioned that lessons were learnt and IAF didn’t suffer a scratch thereafter!
Many years ago, during my Facebook days, I got an opportunity to be a ‘content writer’ for some months for a popular defence/geostrategy page with nearly a million followers. What I realized was that many of us have a habit of looking for a dark cloud behind every silver lining!
Just like we did when we overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth largest economy & idiots started breaking their bangles crying that our per capita GDP was still lower than Japan! Of course it was and it will continue to be for a long time! But our GDP still surpassed Japan and that too would remain a fact!
On that note, I will just leave this tweet here before moving on!
Bottomline is that what we achieved in those 88 or so hours in Operation Sindoor is something that all leading militaries of the world will be studying for a long long time. As far as Paakis and some folks within our own borders go, they can keep laughing/crying about IAF losses!
Their latest Field Marshal can keep orgasming over the beautiful photograph of the Chinese military exercise presented by him to that joker appointed as the Prime Minister of Bhikharistan by himself some years ago!
Why I call Shehbaz Sharif a joker, you asked? Well here is the reason 👇😂
A military that has lost each & every war that it has ever fought, cannot help but resort to lies and misinformation and in this case, bombast .. to keep itself relevant amongst its own people. Hence Paakis will keep on crowing about downed IAF aircraft while staying mum over 👇
I have no issues with this. I, in fact, wish them many more such FANTASTIC victories over India in the days, weeks and months to come! Seriously!
However, what gets me ‘amused’ is the sheer R@ndi Rona in some sections of my own people at loss of a few airframes! India can easily afford to make up for the loss of all airframes lost during Op Sindoor!
But as far as Bhikharistan goes .. well .. they will have to eat grass!
Mind you, we achieved all this without the Indian Navy having to fire even a single round!
Just imagine the next round when Karachi and Ormara and all such get bombed from the seas!
I don’t say it .. my Raksha Mantri said so himself!
To conclude, I would say that I can live my life while accepting the loss of a couple of airframes, especially when the pilots are all fine!
As for those who are still beating their chests .. well .. Peace Be Upon You!
As far as Paakis go, it warms my heart to see them go ecstatic in their celebrations!
They did so in 1965 as well. Unfortunately, they lost half their country a mere six years later!
However, in their own eyes, they still DID NOT lose in 1971!
Don’t believe me?
Here is what a young child of Bhikharistan is taught in her school in Pakistan Studies .. she believes that Pakistan GIFTED independence to Bangladesh!
I say that such fools deserve to be cheered on!
And when they find taps in their airports running dry, they can go hunting for leaves from nearby trees .. because waters of Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej will henceforth only flow into Pakistan as and when India desires!
Also, let us keep cheering their FANTASTIC victory in Feb 2019! What amuses me, however, is the fact that after such a FANTASTIC victory, they couldn’t do anything at all when India cancelled Article 370!
Might this 👇 have been the reason?
In the end, I will just leave this tweet here without any further comment! Yes, Paakis won and we lost!
If you still want to cry over a couple of lost airframes, I will refer you back to this tweet from earlier in this very thread.
Cheers!
I’ll just add this tweet from 07 May 2025 here to this blog post without any further comment:-
