From my experience, the Islamic gene makes them a little bit nuts when things don’t go their way.
Unfortunately, the prevailing winds would carry the fallout over India.
The Indians have much better tech overall plus their GDP is in far better shape Pakistan
And the Indians are clean people! They bathe frequently!
From the article:
“However, the threat perception isn’t as much from Pakistan army directly as it is from terror modules active in the Valley and elsewhere backed by ISI, sources said.”
So, they’re expecting large terror attacks, backed by Paki intelligence.
(As an aside, Times of India has an interesting feature that only allows you to copy ten words at a time, followed by the URL of the article.)
Four Sukhoi-30MKI “air dominance” fighters from the Bareilly ..
Yup. Seems like that is exactly right, first time I have seen that.
All Islamic countries lag. Islam forbids usury. Even in our country, they get waivers so they can buy homes ... have a business.
the shell game is shattered, it is time for the worlds wannabees to make a play to control the future
NEW DELHI: Fighter jets, mid-air refuellers and early-warning aircraft from at least five airbases closely coordinated to unleash the “strike package” on the Balakot terror facility. The aim was to blow six targets within the facility to smithereens in two waves of firing. “The six were first hit with one wave of weapons. The second wave was executed once the dust settled after the first hit. The battle damage assessment was 100%,” a top defence source said here.
On February 16, TOI had reported that precision airstrikes were the government’s favoured option for retaliatory action following the Pulwama terror attack.

Full article minus the graphic of the air attack route. Sounds like if India lost planes it was from missile batteries, not Pak planes.
NEW DELHI: Fighter jets, mid-air refuellers and early-warning aircraft from at least five airbases closely coordinated to unleash the “strike package” on the Balakot terror facility. The aim was to blow six targets within the facility to smithereens in two waves of firing. “The six were first hit with one wave of weapons. The second wave was executed once the dust settled after the first hit. The battle damage assessment was 100%,” a top defence source said here.
On February 16, TOI had reported that precision airstrikes were the government’s favoured option for retaliatory action following the Pulwama terror attack.
Four Sukhoi-30MKI “air dominance” fighters from the Bareilly and Halwara airbases were tasked with “an air defence role” for the mission, with an additional number on hot stand-by. “Pakistan scrambled some fighters but they went back after seeing the large IAF formation...they never came close,” said the source.
The operation kicked off just after 2 am, with the Mirage-2000s from their home-base of Gwalior taking to the skies during the “graveyard shift”. The fighters were not moved to a forward base before the strikes to retain the element of surprise. “ISI informants are active around forward IAF bases on the western front and promptly report unusual fighter activity,” said a source.
The Mirage-2000s, which underwent mid-air refuelling by ILyushin-78s based in Agra, also took a circuitous route to the Muzaffarabad sector along the LOC by avoiding congested airspaces like the one over New Delhi.
IAF also deployed a Phalcon AWACS from Agra and an indigenous mini-AWACS from Bathinda to vector the fighters towards the target as well as track Pakistani jets.
If India experiences large scale terrorism, from Indian Muslims, they may decide to expel their entire Muslim population into Pakistan.
“This is not good... this is not good.”
Would you like to volunteer your neighborhood for that?
[insert tasteless punchline about solving the H1B problem here]
The possibility of a 3rd party medaling in this would seem high. If either side were to learn that the other was preparing a first strike, and learn it in a way that convinces them it was true, an immediate first strike would be the only option. Planted intelligence could thus predictably cause a nuclear war, so the question is who gain from that and how.
