The #IndianAirForce during it's punitive campaign running through the night of the 9th & daytime on 10th destroyed or disabled multiple strategic items that will hurt/hamper the #PakistanAirForce for quite some time to come . Details below .
Nur Khan Vehicles destroyed. These are likely the Refueling & Ground power vehicles #Pakistan would have acquired with it's IL-78s . These facilitate transfer of fuel in & out of tankers & provide power to check systems on the ground. All gone , will take months to replace.
Note #India chose not to hit any HAS at #jacobabad but hit one of the two large #Engineering hangars instead . This is where the PAF would have been able to service aircraft for sorties , tooling , monitoring equipment etc necessary to maintain operational readiness gone .
Again at #Bholari #India chose to ignore fighter HAS & instead went for the large Engineering Hangar that had the equipment & tooling required to keep AWACS like the ERIEYE in operation. That we got an ERIEYE as well was "Sone pe Suhaga"
#Sukkur , The building you see destroyed is some 50mt by 30mt across . See the setback from the main tarmac by 300mt & is connected to a vehicle garage . It also has a 2nd fence indicating it was not open access for all PAF personnel . This stored something very restricted .
In all the above the #IndianAirForce took apart strategic assets belonging to the #PakistanAirForce enduring that had a full scale air war started the PAF would have been hobbled as equipment required to operate & maintain strategic aircraft would not be available .

I see much discussion on this platform about an impending #India #Pakistan war with little discussion on how what we as civilians can do to contribute to the effort .
Some basic pointers below .
1)The subcontinent has never seen a conflict where any party has hit cities in depth apart from few military or semi military targets .
That may change here with Pindi being desperate, do not panic come what may . Trust in the government & local emergency services .
2) Keep your phones , UPS & powerbanks charged so you are as best possible ready for eventualities . Plan what to do to communicate in case telephone & electricity networks get hit by cyberattacks . Carry a modicum of cash in case UPI & cards stop working.
The oldest male genes of the R1a haplogroup some 15500yrs old are found in #Bharat, this is followed by the #Caspian region with 12300yr old samples & #Europe with 6900yr old ones .
People migrated out of the tropics carrying language with them as the world warmed & ice melted .
Linguistics & genetics both indicate a migration of tribes from #India to the west . Corroborated by historical Records of the #Saraswati drying up & causing migration .
A third indicator is the spread of technology, around 1750BC ancient #Turkey was shaken by the arrival of a people with the new for the region technology of #iron working , with Iron tools & weapons the #Hittite people quickly carved a kingdom dominating the Black sea region.
Is this what was used to hit the airbase in #Crimea?
So it seems the #USA has given #Ukraine some cutting edge systems to hit #Russia.
Notice the HIMARS #Rocket launcher , note : back plate . A Regular 6 round HIMARS unit does not use a back plate . Neither does the ATACMS .
Now this is the HIMARS configuration with the regular six rocket round or a single ATACMS . Doesn't fit the bill either .
Now see this & compare to the first image ,the PrSM with a 500km range by Lockheed Martin . The #USA hasn't officially acknowledged giving these to #Ukraine but it fits the vehicle in the video easily .
Looks like the #Russian airbase in #Crimea was hit by the PrSM .
The #USA killed #India’s #nuclear physicist #HomiBhabha and Prime Minister #LalBahadurShastri—confessions of Robert Crowley, then second in command of the CIA's Directorate of Operations (in charge of covert operations) recorded in a book by Gregory Douglas.
Via @MeghBulletin
Pertinent to note here that the confession by the CIA officer indicates the #US government in 1966 wilfully murdered 117 civilians on @airindiain flight 101 just so they could kill #HomiBhabha .
An act of State sponsored #terrorism by #WashingtonDC any way you look at it .
A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then . Every nation has national imperatives that overrule previous issues. We've let this slide just as we've let the 1971 Enterprise incident go .
BJD arrangement, Mamata gets to run the state while BJP gets her tacit support for MP seats from Bengal to go to BJP. Win Win for leadership of both parties , for the common karyakartas it brings the promise of relative safety .
Secures Mamata from her Nephew's machinations.
Learnt today that #alexanderthegreat of #macedonia#Greece had an #Indian guru the Greeks called "Kalanos" some say this was because he was a devotee of Kali .This #Hindu#Brahmin & Yogi stayed with Alexander till he was 73 & died by voluntarily walking into his own pyre
Ptolemy actually built his pyre & records the death as having taken place in Susa in 323BC .Kalanos distributed all the costly gifts he got from the king to the people and wore just a garland of flowers and chanted Vedic hymns as he walked into the Pyre.
He presented his horse to one of his Greek pupils named Lysimachus. He did not flinch as he burnt to the astonishment of those who watched. Although Alexander was not personally present at time of his immolation, his last words to Alexander were "We shall meet in Babylon".
