You guys hit one tanker bud, thats the only proof of a lost aircraft. PAF even immediately announced the pilot who died.

verified IAF sources but the most of the clips shown by PAF are highly questionable

Is completly moot when they lied about Abhinandan’s fake kill in the air despite the fact that all 4 of his missiles were recovered still attached to his MiG’s hardpoints. The poor guy didn’t even drop his tanks.

The only valid proof India provided was all the damage to airbase buildings, structures, etc. Which granted was actually quite a good amount for a weeks worth of BRAHMOS spam.

PAF also barely scathed anything during their counter bomb run, and showed minimal proof if any for claiming a successful hit on an S-400 battery.

Their main objective was defending the airspace and they did quite well for a surprise attack response.

but the sheer numbers advocated are fake.

We have 4 solid videos of the crash sites of 1 MiG-29, 1 Su-30MKI, 1 Mirage, and 1 Rafale.

So even best case that’s still 4 air losses which is expensive in an air battle. PAF only claims 2 more.

For as long as the entire event, I never found any footage or evidence of a lost PAF fighter jet.

Like I said it’ll take me a hot second to go dig them up again, but I’ll post the clips here.

Oh I actually gave the benefit of the doubt and thought you weren’t buying into Indian slop propaganda lol.

no viable proof for it

It’ll take me a hot second, but I can repost all of the wreckage footage here if you’d like.

I would trash on the Rafale for a number of reasons, but IAF’s losses had a lot more to do with their failure of real time strategy and overall capability in the air.

Regardless of the Rafale’s features, simply buying more of them isn’t going to solve the problem. You need a long term plan that includes a significant upgrade of ground and air radar platforms, SIGINT capabilities, EW and ECCM capabilities, an actual data link, modern long range BVR missiles, BVR training, etc, etc.

I thought PAF was bluffing when they said they intercepted cleartext air comms in 2019, but they proved it this time by publishing an audio snippet during their presentation, which means they either successfully jammed encrypted channels or India is using a heavily outdated cipher suite that can be trivially cracked.

Either one points to a serious lack of progression in the IAF’s ability to fight on a modern battlefield.

Tbh I would also expect Columbia to lie about this for them. There’s a pretty good chance they knew it was ICE and they decided to go with plausible deniability

Probably not within the given time frame, the US is still trying to figure out a way to topple the government without a land invasion which would be insanely more expensive.

Even without it, their airforce is practically nonexistent so they would be under constant air strikes which could cause desertion or internal rebellion.

DuckDuckGo is actually a honeypot for the NSA that significantly reduces the amount of data they need to process by virtue of its advertised use case.

Think about it. Everytime some dumb criminal gets caught, there’s always a report about them searching up how to do the crime on Google, which the police collects as part of their investigation.

A “smart” criminal/terrorist would then avoid common search engines and would opt for DDO since they don’t share or collect search data.

DDO just doesn’t share that data with advertisers, trackers, and regular police/FBI like how other search engines do, but they do share it with the NSA just like every other search engine did via PRISM.

NSA uses the data for whatever purpose and helps to ensure DDO’s security. DDO also never compromises on sharing its data to anyone except the NSA to maintain an image of security and privacy to would be criminals.

The Taliban became popular because they outlawed Bacha Bazi and other ludicrous acts committed by the criminally insane warlords which became the Northern Alliance which became the Afghanistan Government until they were yet again toppled by the same Taliban after the US left.

And the Afghan Taliban and Palestinian Hamas don’t make 12 year old girls or younger their sex slaves?

Next year’s CES is gonna be every AI product from this year’s CES but with no progress on release date because they can’t even buy the consumer grade hardware to produce it since it all went into data centers lol.

Not to ruin people getting off of streaming, but the biggest bang for buck in storage will be regular old hard drives unless you need to backup like >500Tb of storage (then tape drives).

DVDs are cool but they only have a 4/8Gb capacity.

BluRay pushes it to 70/100/120gb which is great for one 4K movie lol.

If China wants to, they can.

They did it for Pakistan when they asked for their domestic PL-15s and it led to huge success in the air.

They’re probably debating whether Iran can use them effectively or not. They don’t really have an airforce left, and ground launched missiles could be destroyed before they ever launch.

Someone repost to c/Politics and c/PoliticalMemes and watch the ensuing garbage tornado of denial

I completely blame ChromeOS.

Even on AD snafu’d windows, the first thing we all did was figure out how to bypass any block and do what we wanted to.

Kids are growing up not knowing there are things you can do aside from accessing the internet and loading crappy webpages.

This right here is why I don’t think Artemis is feasible or even a good idea.

The only “upgrade” is that it’s primarily Lockheed and not Boeing, but I wouldn’t trust anything that was designed by them after they finished the F-22 in the 90s.

Have you tried sfc /scannow ?

I’m still waiting for them to use the F-35 against an actual competent adversary with an actual airforce, but I think the only possibility would be China.

Maybe Pakistan if India buys the F-35, but even they know its a Lockheed money scam.
