You know things are bad when you are getting dogpiled on r/worldnews of all places.

I think the only existential for Pakistan right now isnt indian military/airforce ambitions (they are part of it) but its Economy and Indus water's
Holy shit I didnt see it, they are getting dogpiled proper
Btw I dont really get how this is a defense, its not.
Meanwhile
Its funny because NATO couldn't fully achieve air superiority in Yugoslavia nor completely eliminate their air force despite the overwhelming advantage in that warHoly shit I didnt see it, they are getting dogpiled proper
Btw I dont really get how this is a defense, its not.
Meanwhile
Make this a lesson for China, smack India hard enough and US will give up their QUAD delusion with India
How do you know they haven’t already?
Man I wonder what the Indian diplomatic Cores faces were when they saw this. "Delivered 1000 terrorists since 2024"
And thats not all
Pakistan's COAS is gonna be on US Army Day parade.
With the way Russia's Lavrov talked about QUAD recently and his upcoming visit to India, I think its gonna be just that.
Both QUAD and India-iran-middle-east BRI thing that Biden talked about are dead or nearly
I always wondered if China would take direct action against India. Turns out maybe they don't have to. If they train and arm Pakistan sufficiently, that alone will suffice.
The chapter is yet to be written but if victorious, it really is a stroke of genius. Arming a 200 million country to single handedly stop a 1.4 Billion one. With little track record to speak of too.
Assessing and picking allies or guy who do your job is a heavy skill too. Countless powers have fallen coz they misread a country and gave them a job they couldn't handle.
If China’s strategy is to arm and elevate Pakistan as a credible counterweight to India, it may prove to be a masterstroke in indirect power projection. But arming a country is one thing, developing the institutional capacity to induct advanced systems and use them with strategic and tactical proficiency is entirely another. Many great powers have misjudged this distinction, backing allies who lacked the structure or skill to wield the tools handed to them. In Pakistan’s case, however, early results suggest that China may have found a partner capable not only of receiving modern platforms but of making them count.
The recent combat success of the J-10CE offers more than just a validation of Chinese military hardware; it reflects how effectively the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has absorbed, adapted, and operationalized these systems. This wasn’t simply a test of new jets, it was a demonstration of the PAF’s training, professionalism, and capacity to fight within a modern, network-centric environment.
The operation drew strength from well-trained pilots, a disciplined doctrinal framework, and real-time integration through systems like Link-16 and Link-17. These provided seamless data-sharing and situational awareness across the battlespace. Critical support came from the Erieye AEW&C, which managed the operational picture, while the Blinders squadron’s electronic warfare and deception tactics created additional tactical advantages.
What unfolded was not just a single platform’s success, but the functioning of an integrated, capable combat ecosystem. One that shows the difference between simply possessing technology and knowing how to use it to shape outcomes.
