I’m happy to report that some Jai Hinds have reached the bargaining stage. They are gloating about US confirming that only two planes are shot down and that the PL-15 wreckage will help them learn about Chinese seeker and dual pulse motor tech.
The Kashmir conflict 2025.

It is to my opinion that PL15E does not have dual pulse. I remember seeing academic paper here on SDF. If all propellants burnt without pause you get 145-150km.
I think the Rafale pilot is KIA (no RIP from me since he was bombing civilians) but at least some of them ejected successfully and were taken to hospitals.

Jalandhar, Panjab is about 90km from the border, 100km from Lahore.
Ok, so Indian Kashmir side is totally gone dark
Lot of firing over Rajasthan
Sounds like lot of rocket artillery

Yeah, I translated that one. My theory was that by controlling the time between successful firing of the pulses you can extend or reduce the range. If there is no gap between the pulses then it is just a single pulse motor. My current hypothesis is that there is no physical difference between the E variant and the domestic variant, only a software timer that can be programmed by the flight computer. It is entirely possible that China removed restrictions before the fight.
Indian cope has turned the shoot downs into a soft power rout too. Everyone is mocking Indians. The world is like this when it comes to mocking the Indians right now.
There's been many such cases, and such scenarios are especially plausible in Kashmir, which is not only remote and mountainous, but the principal region of contention between India and Pakistan.
However, modern technology has also made it more difficult for mother nature to conceal aircraft debris, especially if you look fast enough (e.g. before vegetation or snow sinks in).
Once an enemy aircraft is downed, ELINT and/or SIGINT data should give you a general location of the wreckage. From there, you just need to task some spaceborne assets that are otherwise employed to identify and monitor forest fires to locate the flaming debris.
Even if you get rained out, you'll probably find something so long as you're in the right neighborhood and looking hard enough.
Private individuals and entities can pursue similar approaches for geolocating attritted airframes, granted their starting points will probably have to come from the metadata of photos or videos capturing the wreckage or something else more lawfully and publicly accessible.
Like Pakistan's principal adversary, India, Turkey's principal adversary, Greece, also operates the Dassault Rafale.
So are you implying that Turkic and Pakistani air forces have been exchanging notes on and sharing ELINT data from Rafales?
So are Pakistanis as ungovernable as the finest 2nd Amendment loving American "rednecks" and "yokels" of Appalachia, the Deep South, Idaho and Texas?

Is this really unexploded?
Indeed. I’ve never seen hard core MAGAs and Wumaos agree like this before. Maybe they are the key to world peace?
