When the mock exam is much harder than the real exam.
They are prob talking about the Shaheen exercises, Since he was praising China/PLAAF as being such good brothers that they let PAF exercise with them with 'ew cards' in hands, praising that 'you dont share those secrets even with your own brother'

Now Pakistani military linked accounts on twitter are saying that to them it seems india is slowly gearing up for round 2, round 3?

The more you sweat in training ,the less you will bleed in war-so true.BTW that's why the PLAN has lengthy training in her 2 operational carriers with everything from hundreds of takeoffs and landings to seamanship,deck/hangar operations to mock attack/defence ,damage control etc.It's expensive but not as "expensive" as sitting in dockside doing nothing while bragging/boasting shit.

I'm not sure why PAF insists on claiming 3 or 4 Rafales down but doesn't claim the Mirage 2000 that we know was downed. It's plausible there are Rafales downed that we just don't know and/or were covered up successfully by IAF but there's no way that Mirage 2000 wasn't downed. PAF not claiming it and claiming more Rafales really makes it seem they just misidentified Mirage 2000 for Rafale.

From what I saw of the skirmish, the Akash shot down the Mirage. Accounts initially claiming a PAF fighter was shot down using the Akash were eventually identified as a Mirage, so I can assume the Akash shot down the IAF's own fighter. That's probably why the PAF has no claim to the Mirage.

And it would correspond with the claims that Akash has no IFF in the big old 2025.

interesting here, so looks like PAF is hardening its position of 4 Rafales down. It'd actually be interesting if people have photo updates of how many Rafales are lined up in those IAF bases.

Yes, it does seem like the PAF is taking a firm stance on the claim of downing 4 Rafales. It would definitely be interesting to see updated satellite or ground photos from the IAF bases to cross-check the number of Rafales currently deployed, could help validate or challenge that assertion.

Also worth noting; following the 6–7night operation, the PAF spokesperson did mention during a briefing that the IAF had deployed 30 out of their 36 Rafales that night, with 6 reportedly out of service for various reasons.

So, if 4 were indeed downed, that number could potentially align with the gaps being observed though of course, independent verification would be key.
