FJ: "...neither Pak nor India were able to intercept everything they launched at each other." 🤔🧐 Interesting: Multiple sources tell me they are confident that PAF "at the very least" partially/temporarily damaged/rendered an/part of an Indian S-400 AD. (UNVERIFIED)

They won't pick up the calls. She was used, abused and dumped. Like many others before her. Herein lies the lesson for many others. I hope she remains safe and nothing happens to her. I hope she and her family are able to leave India because she won't be safe there.

The chatter from India indicates that the Indian CDS comments on India-Pakistan in Singapore were unsanctioned and may have been the result of frustration with the political leadership in pockets of Indian Armed Forces. There's already an organised narrative emerging against him

Interesting to notice that Pakistan Joint Chief is also in Singapore at same conference where Indian CDS admitted the jet losses. Just thinking what might have gone down there. :)

Likely unsanctioned comments by India’s CDS. He says both sides acted rationally, which is effectively a nod of respect to Pakistan’s military leadership. It contrasts sharply with the rhetoric from Modi & his political allies.

Yep. It is very clear that Pakistan not only won the military aspect, very convincingly, but it has also chessboarded this pretty well. Let's see if they can make the most of that, because they historically falter.

To everyone making the argument that IAF losses on the first night do not matter as all the targets were hit, please. There are planning figures for estimated combat losses in every operation, and by all accounts, losses that night seem to have exceeded those figures.

Shivangi Singh gave a big interview on 5–6 May, right before Op Sindoor kicked off on 7 May. “Sindoor” is the red powder married Hindu women wear as a symbol of honour. After that, she vanished from the spotlight, like she was built up for a narrative & then quietly dropped.

I’d say it implies temporary air denial rather than air superiority. Pak likely had freedom of movement in contested zones during that window, which functionally gave them the upper hand. But full air superiority requires sustained control, not just the other side going quiet.
