The Kashmir conflict 2025.

These are booster stages, fallen off as per normal launch I believe

Question is what missile do they belong to? HQ-9 as far as I know is single staged and HQ-16 booster don't look like this, pretty sure most S-400 missiles are also single staged including the 40N6. It's most likely from some sort of ground launched cruise missile IMO

"Larger missile debris crashed in India's Pokhran region, Rajasthan—and an Indian netizen living right next to the impact site snapped photos, estimating the wreckage at ~12 feet long."

Looks like a BrahMos. I'm curious whether it was intercepted or just a launch failure.

The casual disregard for personal safety when approaching unexploded/expended ordnance is wild to see. Who knows what carcinogenic chemicals the fragments are giving off even if it has no risk of explosion.

The fact that they can intentionally prioritise specific aircraft models shows how good the radar is and the amount of information that is available. And how confident they are of their gear. This is already a step above being confident of your own skills imo.

Radar ID (against non-stealth target in frontal or rear aspect) is a norm since ~1990: radars can count number of blades of engines(doppler shift). When matched with emission portrait (by any respectable DRFM rwr) and some data fusion to keep/reacquire once IDied tracks - even more so.

This pattern is quite normal and frankly very humane. Like people always prioritize enemy's most expensive units in wargames - not just because it's efficient, but because it's a strong moral boost/hit.

Is this account credible? Some says it's the official national media of Pakistan.

What's wrong? Indian has weaponized those dams. Now, their reserve levels are low, which makes this the perfect time to destroy them. Or are you worried about escalation? Well, without water, Pakistan is going to have a very hard time. Do or die.

It isn't that simple to destroy a dam with normal weapons. You need something designed for the task(or nuclear). Just remember you're downstream just like India.

Speculation on my part on damaged boosters but the booster has a flared section. Could just be the brahmos booster/engine?

apparent capture of Indian pilot. (not a clear proof so take it with a pinch of salt)

Such footage is not easily faked. I keep an open mind.

Some suggest the video indicates the captured pilot is a female.

Others say it's an old video, irrelevant to this conflict.

We should wait and see.

HQ-9P are from HQ-9, both are early versions.

HQ-9B is much advanced. I do remember Paki also bought & showcased HQ-9BE one or two years ago.

This is not emphasized enough. The baseline HQ-9 and HQ-9B are quite different, so much so that NATO has assigned two different reporting names to them: the CH-SA-9 and CH-SA-21, respectively.
