OP SINDOOR - One year back, I was posted to an Army Unit, heading the IAF Cell. On 7th, I just happened to be visiting the nearest IAF airbase, to which I was affiliated.

News had broken of our strikes and the subsequent air engagement and the base was on full alert, so I walked to the Air Officer Commanding or AOC (Base Commander) and offered my services immediately.

Thereafter followed duty as Terminal Weapons Director for two days, and then attachment to an IACCS Node as Air Battle Manager for about two weeks.

I saw the finest in field leadership, civil-miitary cooperation, and military-military (yes, even this needs saying!), cooperation, and the spirit and commitment of the airman, soldier, sailor and civilian on the ground.

I saw how networking allowed collective wisdom and experience help in dealing with a situation, and rapidly disseminating lessons across. The IAF model of centralized control (at Command HQ), and decentralised execution (at Station for support, and IACCS Node for execution of air ops) worked beautifully.

Case in point, was the appearance of drones in numbers. The firing and electronic discipline was exemplary. It was realised very quickly what Pak was trying, and a very efficient MO of soft kill plus small calibre firepower was used to execute a near flawless defence.

I saw an ARMY CDR, no less, frequently speak to IAF Base Cdrs to remain abreast. Of course we will now have that becoming more systemic. The joint mechanisms kicked in with great flow of info.

Ditto for the Navy. To see a joint picture (MDA also populated) on the same scope was absolutely beautiful.

Sitting in the IACCS Node Ops room, one gets a satellite-eye view of the entire sector. If need be, for the entire front/theatre. If one wants, the entire country! Now, on top of air tracks, civil traffic, and even own assets, Army and Navy, filtered info is also available.

More than just the operational synergy, or the clarity in awareness, it also infuses a major "commonality of purpose" amongst all personnel. The feeling of "we are all doing our bit". Hopefully theaterisation will build on this.

Perhaps a cause of even greater delight was how civil functionaries reached out to the AOC for offers of help, and requests for info. Personal equations, sometimes neglected in peacetime, worked wonders. Peaceful, orderly, well implemented blackouts, and zero panic, even when some of the Pak drones dropped here and there running out of battery.

Within the IAF, I saw how the open source news bits of losses, affected some, especially those who hadn't been through such experiences earlier.

A young officer asked me as to "what now" would we do? I told him, not to arrive at any conclusions. Firstly, we couldn't say what reality was (IAF was super at maintaining even internal OpSec), and secondly, it had just been a day. I recounted the experience of Kargil. Losses, before the first feature was regained.

Sure enough, as the CDS has stated, and as results showed, changes were made. The PAF was systematically, coldly, and professionally dismantled so the story was one sided thereafter. It was a masterclass.

The dismantling of the PAF's AD network by neutralising high powered radars, and by destruction of its AEW&C effectively blinded them.

Our fighters used minimal, but deadly force. The Brahmos/ SCALP 1-2 created havoc. The IAF proved something that's known to air forces worldwide. Wars aren't won by shooting down the enemy (though that was done too). They are won by destroying him on the ground.

The destruction of the Bholari hangar, that was dynamically added to the list as a "slow mover" was tracked recovering to the base, was the crowning glory. It wasn't a lucky strike. It was a ruthless hunt.

Calibrated targeting, that produced maximum results. A trailer, of the movie that COULD come.

Air power reiterated its status as the swordarm, delivering usable options. Hopefully, this is a lesson that even the GoI would have imbibed.

"according to who?"

You can't even evaluate the thought in your own head - you need to outsource it to the hivemind.

According to Iranian state-backed news agency Fars, Pakistani decision-makers have overstated their involvement in the negotiation process between the US and Iran. Per the report, comments from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on portions of the U.S.-Iran negotiating framework are not true, and their involvement has decreased while Qatar’s role has increased.

Thank you, my friend, for your most gracious wishes.

I fully agree with you. India-Israel friendship will continue to grow from strength-to-strength in the years to come.

BREAKING: Trump:

I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured.

Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
