This is called lying with a straight face; providing armaments during active conflict isn’t the same as having good relations. We and the world know well, during Operation Sindoor (the May 2025 military confrontation triggered by the Pahalgam terror attack sponsored by Pakistan), the Indian Air Defence grid successfully intercepted and neutralised two specific types of Turkish-origin combat drones deployed by Pakistan, namely Beykar Yiha and Asisguard Songar in large numbers. A Turkish aircraft carrying these and Turkish engineers arrived in Pakistan during the conflict and Turkish personnel even operated these drones. That simply makes Turkey an adversary by all norms of international conflicts. So why this charade of good relations now?

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on India-Türkiye relations:

If India is going to be resentful about any country having good relations with Pakistan, there are many such countries.

We have no problem on a bilateral level with India and we urge India not to read the issue from a different perspective.

*Ode to a Topchci ... The Gunners*

*"...and I thought he was going to propose."*

Kneeling beside his beloved 130 mm Mighty Medium Gun, the Gunner says:

"Darling, she's over 50 years old, weighs several tons, demands endless maintenance, hates bad roads, drinks lubricants, and needs an entire detachment to keep her happy.

*But when she speaks, everyone listens."*

"And this little thing is called the *firing mechanism* If it doesn't work when required, the entire Gun Position suddenly becomes a very spiritual place!"

*Moral of the story*

A Gunner's first love is not always who you think it is....

*Some romances are forged in steel, recoil, roar of the Gun and Fragrance of gunpowder*

The question that beggars to be asked is - Why does people litter the roads and public places. These arrangements are not sustainable in the long run. This contraption may be good just for a demonstration but what we actually need is civic sense and accountability for actions of violators.

@maverickmaharaj @Incognito_qfs Are you a congenital ass**le or doing this as a click bait.

@AaryanPrateekX Lack of values learnt during childhood. Parents are also to be faulted for this. The foundation of human values is laid at home and parents are a Child’s first teacher.

@karbrom @iAnonPatriot All Americans deleting their f***king Meta accounts wouldn’t make any f***king sense difference to Meta. Americans are a very small number for Meta.

It is a sad day for India and its society that asking someone to not spit in public is being seen as being Angrez ki Aulaad and invites a physical attack. Why does it convey to the cleanliness seeking people of the society- that this country belongs to filth loving and everywhere trash throwing people and they don’t belong here.

@shlpi777 @AndheriLOCA @mybmc To become an Advocate there is no test of civic responsibility or even a basic civic sense, one just needs to pass a law exam and register with Bar Council. I also had an advocate as a neighbour but his public conduct and civic sense left a lot to be desired.

@LGIndia @LG_CustomerCare

Very disappointed with LG Customer Care. New AC during installation malfunctioned on 28May2026 and technician was not able to rectify the fault. Complaint filed on 28 May 2026 itself but the issue not rectified till date. The service centre mobile number provided by customer care is not in use.

@AdityaRajKaul Aditya, it’s an embarrassment for the global community of all breeds of dogs for they are being compared to Pakistan Army. The dogs must be strongly condemning this comparison for the dogs are, unlike the Pakistani Army, selfless, loyal and loving creatures.

Pakistan does it again; What it is best at - backstabbing.

[Shay Gal שי גל @ShayGal84]

How Pakistan turned China into the real end-user of U.S. F-16 technology.

👇 A doctrinal warning in @THEEURASIATIMES.

Washington does not need to transfer F-16 technology to Beijing. It only needs to keep it alive in Pakistan, inside an air force structurally tied to China, operationally aimed at India, and layered with Turkish drone attrition.

That is the contradiction at the heart of American South Asia policy.

Washington asks India to anchor the Indo-Pacific against China, while sustaining for Pakistan one of the most sensitive American combat ecosystems ever placed inside Beijing’s learning perimeter. F-16s, Link 16, encryption, IFF, radar, mission software, simulators, maintenance cycles and support lines are not isolated items. Together, they form a combat classroom.

Link 16 is not a radio. It is the grammar of Western networked warfare. It teaches tempo, identification, command logic, transmission discipline, reaction time and battlefield behavior. When that grammar operates in Pakistan, the question is no longer only what Islamabad receives. The question is what Beijing learns.

Pakistan is not a normal end-user. It is a nuclear military state with Chinese depth, Chinese platforms, Chinese industry and Chinese doctrine inside its strategic bloodstream. It has mastered the oldest arbitrage in American policy: take the system from Washington, the depth from Beijing, the drones from Ankara, and the grievance against India from everywhere.

One air force now holds both worlds.

America supplies the nervous system. Turkey feeds the swarm. China harvests the lesson. India becomes the operating environment.

In May 2025, that operating environment became a laboratory. Chinese systems in Pakistani service met Indian responses in real time: drones, missiles, radars, air defenses, command systems and electronic signatures. This was not Indian failure. Even interception teaches. A system that blocks, jams and responds still reveals how it does so.

Washington calls this interoperability. The word is too polite. This is exposure management dressed as alliance policy.

In 2019, Washington approved continuous technical security monitoring for Pakistan’s F-16 program. Monitoring is confession. You do not monitor a harmless relationship around the clock. You monitor a known risk.

Beijing does not need a stolen blueprint when access is institutionalized. It studies behavior, faults, updates, signatures, procedures, mission files, simulator habits and electronic patterns. Then it catalogs, models and weaponizes them.

That is the indictment.

America is not choosing Pakistan over India. It is preserving both policies at once - and forcing India to absorb the exposure.

That contradiction cannot be managed by reassurance.

It must be classified.

Every future F-16 package for Pakistan should face one test: not what Islamabad receives, but what Beijing learns.

@ahmadishtiaq Nobody in the UN is interested in Kashmir issue. Yeh sirf Pakistan ke Mungerilal ke hasin sapne hain. The People of POK are rising in revolt against the atrocities of Pakistan. The impoverished Pakistan can’t look after its population

Actually, it is the cultural brotherhood that Kazakhstan is worried about. Turkey under Erdogan is more radical and wants to gain leadership of Islamic nations in a bid to revive the dreams of Ottoman Caliphate. Kazakhstan has opted for a liberal cultural future for its people which is at odds with Turkish desire for leadership of the Ummah.

India would have to carefully buildup support for its permanent membership of the UNSC by not only canvassing with the G7 but with the developing South for a vote in General Assembly. The methodology and timings will have to be finely calibrated and strategy appropriately crafted.

[Colonel Deepak Kumar @TheDee70]

Excellent ! As if the Babudom and the Government has already not done enough through their short sighted policies, no cadre review for three decades, no NFU despite every common sense logic, incomplete OROP, to make the Army Service unpopular, now @ADGPI wants to put the final straw in its own popularity by publicly admonishing a bright young lad for posing& proposing in front of an unclassified equipment . Demoralise him and many like him at the dawn of their career and then expect them to give their ultimate for the organisation. Bravo!
