As previously mentioned in the thread from a telegram report, more reports coming of Pakistan allegedly using the Turkish Koral EW system that wreaked havoc on IAF.
And there is this concept of the black economy in Pakistan, i.e. a substantial portion of the entire economy is totally unaccounted for. This is somewhat visible if you live there.
Pakistan has less than 1/10th the defense budget of India, but it's equipment is between 1-1.5× smaller. Doesn't make sense.
If Jaisalmer is being shelled then Pak Army must have crossed the border because it is 200km inside India.
PAF did claim 3 Rafale hits.
Dharmasala is like 1200km from the border. Wtf
IAF probably moved far back to avoid PL-15.
Which border though? Kashmir / Uttarakhand region or on the east Arunachal Pradesh / Chicken's Neck?
It's probably more appropriate to back the hundreds of insurgent groups inside India, particularly the ones in the north east bordering China, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Several Indian states there and all are ripe with seccessionist groups.
Couple years ago, there was a detailed study (maybe from Pew) on the economies of Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. They found that India and Bangladesh overstate their economic indicators to draw in foreign investments, while Pakistan understates it's indicators to draw in foreign aid. Lol.

In case there is a full blown war, it must be noted that Pakistani civilians are heavily armed. Every other person has an assault rifle or shotgun minimum. Add to that, the countless armed militia, paramilitary groups, etc whose numbers are probably several folds greater than Pak Army.
What he's trying to say is that a Rafale dropped it's one engine and its tail like a drop tank to reduce weight for evasive maneuvers. That's the only l̶o̶g̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ explanation.
