Did the Pakistan Air Force Strike India's Protective Umbrella? ( A thread 🧵)

On May 10, the Pakistan Air Force conducted retaliatory strikes, reportedly targeting and destroying the S-400 system in India.

Let’s examine the evidence available from open sources. 1/

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) specifically targeted and destroyed the radar components of the S-400 system, such as the Cheese Board radar. They did not claim to have struck the launcher tubes the same ones later showcased in photographs by Narendra Modi.2/

Satellite imagery confirms PAF strike on S-400 component at Adampur base on May 10, using CM-400 from JF-17 (rail 22-313). India claimed the missiles fell short, but no videos of CM-400 in civilian areas exist, unlike SCALP or Brahmos incidents. This suggests both missiles hit inside the base.

Satellite Evidence:
- May 10 Imagery: Shows targeted S-400 component.
- May 12 Imagery: Targeted component missing, other components intact.
- PAF Imagery : Pinpoints exact target area.
- Close-Up: Highlights destroyed component.

An intact S-400 radar wouldn’t look like this. Denials don’t change facts cross-check with other imagery. If the radar survived, why was it hastily removed and missing from later images, while other components remained? PAF’s precision targeting of S-400 component is pretty much evident. 3/

S-400 at Adampur AFS:

•Img 1 & 2: Show the target area.

•Img 3: Radar missing in recent satellite imagery.

•Img 4: India acknowledges equipment damage at Adampur, where PAF specifically targeted the S-400 radar.

Indian air defenses failed to intercept any PAF missiles or CM-400s, leaving no wreckage behind as evidence. 4/

True-color satellite imagery from Adampur AFS, India, reveals multiple impact sites at the location of an S-400 battery, which was subsequently struck by Pakistan Air Force CM-400AKG missiles. 5/

PAF targeted the S-400’s 91N6E ‘Cheeseboard’ radar at Adampur AFS using JF-17 Thunder aircraft armed with CM-400AKG supersonic missiles.

Equipped with passive radar seekers and 880-lb warheads, these missiles precisely destroyed the radar.

Since the S-400’s dispersed components radars, TELs, and command vehicles are interlinked, neutralizing the radar effectively disables the entire system. This explains the absence of functional S-400 components during Modi’s visit to Adampur. 6/

First Bihar, an Indian news outlet, reported the death of an Indian soldier manning the S-400 air defense system at Adampur Airbase on May 10, 2025. The article was later deleted, likely under pressure from the Indian government. 7/

International think tanks and reputed defense experts have begun confirming that the S-400 HIMAD ADS took a hit on a critical component the Cheese Board radar struck by two CM-400AKG missiles fired from JF-17 Thunder Block-II aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force. 8/

Another admission by Indian news outlet.9/

At the NDTV Defence Summit 2025, an IAF officer openly acknowledged that Pakistan carried out a concentrated attack on S-400 units during the May 9–10 strikes.10/

IAF Chief: Pakistan located the S-400 systems using satellites and targeted them with two CM-400AKG missiles. 11/

Modi’s visit to Adampur unintentionally confirmed the S-400’s presence there. Locating the system is the hardest part destroying it was already mastered by
PAF. Modi ha tou Mumkin hai . 😂😂

Indian agencies suddenly crackdown on potential‘Pakistani spies’ suggests leaks after HVTs (like BrahMos storage sites) were hit.

Despite showcasing launch tubes, India never displayed the radar again the very heart of the S-400 system. 12 /

India is now considering ordering 1–2 additional S-400 air defense systems, on top of the existing five, to compensate for the two that were destroyed.

So if the S-400 wasn’t really destroyed… why the rush to replace them? Our Indian friends might like to answer that 😅😅 13/

Anyhow, it’s always about who has the longest stick. Pakistan hamesha
zindabad . 🇵🇰
