Made In 🇮🇳 India's Akash Missile "Clips The Wings" Of 🇨🇳Chinese, 🇹🇷Turkish Drones, Missiles
India's Akash Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system has come of age — and Operation Sindoor just proved it. In the latest confrontation with Pakistan, this indigenous missile didn’t just perform — it dominated.
A thread, based on @ritu86sharma report: 👇🧵
From a post of John Spencer, an international expert on warfare:
War is always a test—not just of military hardware, but of actual combat effectiveness. In response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Kashmir, India launched Operation Sindoor, striking nine terrorist infrastructure targets in Pakistan. The operation didn’t just send a strategic message—it revealed a tactical truth: India’s domestically produced weapons worked. China’s did not.
India’s growing defense self-reliance, driven by the “Make in India” initiative, has led to a major leap in indigenous production—from 32% of the Army’s ammunition needs met domestically in 2014 to 88% in 2024. From missiles like BrahMos and Pinaka to radars and artillery systems, Indian-made equipment proved itself in live combat. That’s not just a national achievement—it’s a model of military readiness for any nation facing modern threats.
Pakistan, meanwhile, continues to rely heavily on Chinese-made systems like the HQ-9/P, LY-80, and FM-90—systems that repeatedly fail to stop or detect precision strikes. In a real fight, performance matters more than procurement deals.
New satellite footage shows that the Indian Air Force struck the hangar of Pakistan’s Bholari Air Base
Pakistan Air Force Squadron Leader Usman Yousaf & 4 airmen were killed. Their Chinese air defense system failed to protect them
Several planes were likely destroyed or damaged
Simple thing you all should understand. The Task of an Air Force is to protect their Air Space so that the enemy can't target their ground asserts from air. If your Important ground locations are targetted, your Air Force has failed and the adversary has won. In Simple word, PAF failed badly.
The Indian Air Campaign will be studied in a great detail by Armed Forces around the world.
Ignorant takes by the Western 'experts' notwithstanding, the precision in executing calibrated, non-escalatory strikes, in a contested airspace being defended by a reasonably well armed
Debris from a BrahMos strike reportedly found at PAF Shahbaz, Jacobabad-
home to F-16 squadrons and Lockheed Martin tech teams. Pakistan’s prized airbase just got its welcome package.
How was the delivery experience?

Dear BJP supporters, no need to go on the back foot.
We weren't cowards like Sonia-Rahul, who didn’t even fire a single bullet after 26/11.
We entered Pakistan, destroyed their defence systems, and killed 100+ terrorists after Pahalgam...
It's just that expectations were too high but we've done it well.
