Well, Pakistan apparently downed 5 Indian jets, 3 of which are Dassault Rafale. Hardly cannon fodders. There's a billion dollars loss of equipment.
Anyway, I don't know much about Pakistan or India's backing of respective terrorists but trying to frame this, or any geopolitical situation as Good vs Evil is always wrong. It's O.K. to pick a side or distance yourself from someone if they do things you find immoral but its never good v.s. evil.
- seatac76 1y agoI think it’s early days let’s wait a bit before claiming results, lot of noise. So far only one Rafale has been confirmed, but if India has lost planes it will surely come out. Also goes to show 4th Gen aircraft cannot penetrate a heavily defended airspace, and besides Pakistan Air Force is perhaps the most capable element of their armed forces, very well trained. Highly likely their air force had access to Qatari Rafales so prob had the chance to create better counters. By cannon fodder I meant the terror camps, nothing will change by targeting that. Besides I don't think India was able to restore deterrence here with the current set of strikes. If they are going to put expensive assets in play they should have attacked actual military assets. And I’m not taking a side at all, I don’t care nor do I have a horse in this race. Just find geopolitics fascinating.
