Russia and Germany started the WW2. They are the aggressors.

Hitler and Stalin divided eastern Europe among and share it among themselves.

Stalin has no problem when Hitler overrun the entire western Europe only for him to be outsmarted by Hitler when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.

Anywhere, those who won the war and the ones that write the history. Since Russia join the allies and won the war, Germany in now the aggressor.

And they and their dumb supporters expect us to believe they shot down a Rafale jet. Why? Just because they want to push a narrative about Chinese Jengdu, Rongdu, Bengdu and Chenfu weapons being better than western made ones.
These guys are very petty.

The tensions between India and Pakistan are rapidly escalating: Pakistan has launched Operation Bunyanun Marsoos in response to alleged Indian missile strikes on its military bases. Islamabad claims to have hit multiple targets in India and Indian-administered Kashmir, including airbases and a BrahMos missile storage site. India responded by stating its forces are actively intercepting all Pakistani attacks, including hostile drones destroyed over Punjab. The U.S. has, for the first time, officially offered to mediate and help deescalate the conflict.

It's more like clashes and skirmishes at this point. But it a very serious one because both sides are using jets and missiles and drones at a very large scale, so you won't be wrong if you call it a war.

But they haven't started a ground war yet but they are both heavily mobilizing and sending troops and weapons towards each other's borders.

When they get going, the war will be like Manchester United v Lyon or Inter v Barça.
Both sides have poor AD coverage.
We are in the era with an abundance of cost-effective offensive projectiles, so both sides go collect wella.
Still, since India is richer, they'll inflict more damage as the conflict wears on.

India has the S 400 as defence it has been of serious help to them lately. Indians are full of praise for it all over Twitter but I doubt they have enough to protect their skies.

S400 is just one part of the entire Indian Integrated Air Defence Grid. Google IACCS. That is what is protecting India from all those drone attacks from Pakistan.

IACCS is a massive automated network that consists of:-
Indian BMD System (AAD, PDV Mk1, PDV Mk2, AD-1)
S-400
Barak 8
Akash
SPYDER
Samar
Pechora
Shilka
Bofors L70 upgraded
(Many more, I'm not including the radars like Aslesha, LRTR, MOTR, etc)

More to come in coming years are:-
Project Kusha
Akash NG
QRSAM
Sudarshan CIWS

No Paki attacks are getting through yet.

Sure, India will tidy Pakistan normally 😁 India has always won their previous wars. But Pakistan appears to be more powerful than it used to be. If there was a bet, I will put my money on India winning — but this win won’t be as smooth as the previous wars since Pakistan is no longer the walkover it used to be.

GoI hasn't accepted or denied the claims yet. In fact, they aren't announcing any hits on anyone's fighters right now. Why? Because ops are still ongoing, so doesn't make sense to provide free BDA to the enemy by listing out what we have lost. So right now, I just don't know what actually happened. Fog of war.

One thing that is certain though, is that India hasn't lost a single fighter pilot yet. This has been announced, that all fighter pilots are accounted for. And till date in all wars since 1947, India has never ever tried to hide its human loses. The minute a soldier or officer gets KIA or MIA, the Indian Armed Forces announce the deaths. And then his body is returned to his hometown where he is given last rites with full military honors and our media covers the entire event live for every soldier. Happened against China in Galwan Valley clash 2020 too. And just yesterday a soldier was killed by Pakis on the LoC. Naik from Telangana state, if I remember right. He was announced KIA, his body returned to his hometown thousand km away and the media covered his funeral and interviewed his uncle. So, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that all our fighter pilots are alive and well.



Now assuming we've lost a jet. So what? Big deal. This is war. Loses occur. And this is just a loss of an airframe, the pilot is alive. The loss will be studied and tactics modified from lessons learnt. That is the job of the Indian Air Force TACDE unit. Its normal, really. We have hundreds of fighter jets engaging in BVR combat, a multi force engagement with heavy presence of SAM, complex terrain and a dense Electronic Warfare environment. And the enemy has been using civilian airliners as a shield. So loses are normal.


India has $700 Billion in its cash reserves right now, that's enough to buy 2800 Rafale fighters. So a single lost airframe can be replaced. What is more important is that the cost must be imposed on Pakistan. That is the political and military objective. And that's happening. A nation whose cash reserves are so low that they need to beg for $1 Billion loans from the IMF (happened just yesterday), to them, loss of an airframe might be a big deal. Not to us.

That's informative.
The bolded perfectly captures the headspace of Indian citizens right now.

Since you're Indian, how would you rate your AD grid's ability to blunt Ukraine-style drone swarms?
We've seen Israel struggle to take down Hezbollah drones. Russia has lost a few depots.
