I get why Pakistanis were targeting the Indian S-400 🇮🇳 by spreading fake, doctored satellite images of its kill. It's because this very system gave them one of the most painful blows in their history, shooting down 06 of their 🇵🇰 aircraft in one go, taken out at a world record breaking range of over 300 km. The S-400 simply did what it was built to do.

Pakistan is set to start receiving J-35 stealth fighters from China as early as next year, ahead of schedule. A total of 40 jets will be delivered. It's important to note that a toned-down variant will be provided to Pakistan, but it's still a significant leap. Pakistani pilots are already in China for the training to get familiar with the platform.

With the Indian Navy Chief in the US 🇺🇸, Washington may showcase the B-1B Lancer, while Moscow 🇷🇺 could highlight the Tu-160M “White Swan” during Putin’s December visit. If acquired, these long-range bombers would give India 🇮🇳 the ability to strike Chinese carrier groups at stand-off ranges, expanding its maritime strike reach, deep-sea deterrence, and anti-access capabilities across the Indian Ocean.

After Morocco 🇲🇦 even Greece 🇬🇷 is now interest in WhAP, I dont know what is stopping us from procuring it in large numbers... Its our own homegrown platform, tested in Indian conditions, modular in design, & well aligned with our operational requirements. Yet we are wasting our time considering other options like American Junk Stryker, which offers no performance advantage over WhAP, especially when cost, localisation, upgrade flexibility & lifecycle support are factored in.
