The Kashmir conflict 2025.

The role of both of those is different from an AWACS though and it was about finding gaps in SAM coverage and controlling the USV's.

Very likely USAF also flew AWACS there.
The E-3C was frequently spotted at ~Constanța (Romania).

I haven't seen anything conclusive about Pakistan hitting or not hitting the radar vehicle.
I am talking about bringing out the launchers entirely as a show of propaganda. They should've brought out 4-6 launchers because it looks great in a picture while placating their audience's doubts.

Park all the batteries next to each other so PAF can eliminate all of them together.

Yankeesama confirmed that AVIC helped them integrate datalink between J-10C and Erieye. At the time KJ-500 was not available for export and ZDK-03 is a bit lacking.

Makes sense. Why else would would PAF purchase 12 of them if it cannot integrate non-Western aircraft which are to become the dominant type into the foreseeable future.

There are a few reports of a missing pilot, including one from a family member asking why her brother, a Rafale pilot, has disappeared.

We know there were attacks on the PK airbases but now the dust has settled a bit, was there anything really significant that was damaged or destroyed?

Same question but for Indian air bases too.

Pretty sure it is a fan account.

Their military press brief had said

"losses are part of combat but all pilots back home"

They didn't say "...all pilots back home safe"

Seems to be a half decent summary of what happened so far.

Basically being proud of something houthis and hamas guys can do ain't gonna make up for losing multiple 200 million jets in one day. I even saw earlier in this thread that a brahmos was intercepted by a HQ9. If it's true I dunno why it's not getting more attention. It's a pretty big deal that something like that can be brought down by a HQ9.

Did they really send an inert training drone?

It makes sense if the goal is to saturate the opponent's air defense.

Are we certain the ZDK-03 are not in country? Linking up a chinese missile with a NATO standard AEW system can't be a simple task. You are talking about mid-course guidance which I imagine is about as tough as it gets when integrating systems.

That said, if the PL-15E can be integrated with mid-course guidance from any aerial radar system including off-pylon, dedicated AEW machines like Erieye then it opens up an endless potential for markets.

You might be talking about the PL-15E being fired from J-16s, MiG-29s and all kinds of other shit being guided by E-2 (Egypt) or Embraer 145 (Mexico.) LoL

I like to believe it but it can't be that simple.

Hi,
pakistan already developed Link 17 since 2016, which has given them the freedom to integrate
Saab with chinese assets with jf17 and now J10c, ZDk 03 is not around might been in China for
up grades
thank you

If possible, could anyone give me a TLDR on the thread's assessment on Pak AD performance if it was discussed. I have seen 1-2 interception videos and 1-2 different debris of Indian munition. But apart from that there's nothing of either Indian munition debris or Pak SAM debris.

Search for "Karachi" here in this same topic because it seems that there were some interceptions according to the videos released by the user who posted the link here

Here:

The claim that "Pakistan obliterated India's communication systems" seems like an absurd lie. The missile attacks on various Pak bases seems to have caught the Pakistanis offguard. The strike on Nur Khan airbase right next to Rawalpindi was not only a massive escalation, but also an embarrassment. Rawalpindi for those who don't know is where the Pak military elite live.

I think Pak got the better of India early on but then the fight started to get equalised. India has escalation dominance and can sustain a war economically easier, which is why it made sense for Pak to sue for a ceasefire. Their hand is weaker, but they play it well.

The big takeaway for me is that Modi is now signalling greater escalation for every next terror attack emanating from Pak. The region will get more dangerous and not less.

New Article by Bloomberg

The success of Chinese jets used against India in the recent conflict with Pakistan is raising alarm in Asia about their air combat capabilities

Written by Wumaos of course the content of the said article is going to be biased against India. That'll be the most unfortunate and regrettable conclusion most of our brethren from India and of Indian leaning folks will form. Such is the increasing nature of tribalism in just about everything these days. F...k the truth because the facts and truth is whatever we think it is, therefore they are.
