Did the Pakistan Air Force Strike India's Protective Umbrella? ( A thread ๐Ÿงต)

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

Letโ€™s examine the evidence available from open sources. 1/ Image
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 wouldnโ€™t look like this. Denials donโ€™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? PAFโ€™s precision targeting of S-400 component is pretty much evident. 3/Image

S-400 at Adampur AFS:

โ€ขImg 3: Radar missing in recent satellite imagery.

โ€ขImg 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/Image

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/ Image
PAF targeted the S-400โ€™s 91N6E โ€˜Cheeseboardโ€™ 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-400โ€™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 Modiโ€™s visit to Adampur. 6/Image
Image
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/ Image
Another admission by Indian news outlet.9/ Image
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 9โ€“10 strikes.10/ Image
IAF Chief: Pakistan located the S-400 systems using satellites and targeted them with two CM-400AKG missiles. 11/
Modiโ€™s visit to Adampur unintentionally confirmed the S-400โ€™s presence there. Locating the system is the hardest part destroying it was already mastered by
PAF. Modi ha tou Mumkin hai . ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Indian agencies suddenly crackdown on potentialโ€˜Pakistani spiesโ€™ 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 1โ€“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 wasnโ€™t really destroyedโ€ฆ why the rush to replace them? Our Indian friends might like to answer that ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… 13/ Image
Anyhow, itโ€™s always about who has the longest stick. Pakistan hamesha

The government is pushing a major change that could reshape the balance of power in Pakistan from the provinces to the military, and even the judiciary.

1- Articleโ€ฏ243 Command of the Armed Forces .

The President holds the symbolic Supreme Command of the armed forces the Prime Minister handles dayโ€‘toโ€‘day control and command. The proposed draft aims to amend Articleโ€ฏ243 so that only the Prime Minister has final authority over the military command structure reducing or eliminating the Presidentโ€™s role.1/Image
Provincial revenue share (Articleโ€ฏ160(3A)

Provinces have a constitutional guarantee of a share in federal revenues under the 18th Amendment.

The amendment would remove or weaken the guarantee for provincial shares in revenue giving the Centre more flexibility (or control) over provincial finances. 2/
Articles 198 & 203 โ€“ Judge Transfers and Appointments

Currently the Judges of High Courts are transferred with the Presidentโ€™s approval after consultation with the Chief Justices.

The amendment could reduce the Presidentโ€™s role in transfers and give more authority to parliamentary or federal bodies. 3/

How let me break it down for you. 1/Image
Image
When the war erupted in April 2023, most headlines focused on Sudanโ€™s army vs. the RSF.

But this fight runs deeper itโ€™s a war for control over gold, the only lifeline left after South Sudanโ€™s secession in 2011 took away 75% of Sudanโ€™s oil and 90% of its foreign earnings.

Gold became Sudanโ€™s new oil. 2/Image
Image
As the economy collapsed, thousands of jobless Sudanese turned to small-scale mining.

Then came the turning point the 2012 discovery of massive gold deposits in Jebel Amer, North Darfur.

By 2012, gold made up 60% of Sudanโ€™s total exports.

But that wealth didnโ€™t bring stability but warlords.3/Image

How and how did the United States fail in this strike mission?

Were Iranโ€™s three main nuclear facilities really destroyed?

And where is Iran actually hiding its enriched uranium?

Find out in this threadโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Trump announced the strike after the mission was already carried out even though negotiations were still ongoing.

He said:

โ€œThe U.S. military launched a massive, precision strike on Iranโ€™s three main nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.โ€

Butโ€ฆ were all three really destroyed?2/Image
To answer that, we needed to understand a few things.

Everyone including major global media had been tracking U.S. stealth B-2 bombers.

As soon as they started moving, The New York Times reported:

โ€œThe United States has begun war with Iran.โ€3/Image

Why Iran isnโ€™t Firing back that hard yet . ( Short thread ๐Ÿงต)

Some said Israel crippled Iranian missile program some said Iran is running low out of missiles.

Meanwhile Israel said it crushed Iranian missile power which isnt the case because there are missiles flying over literally every night .

Then why Iran isnt hitting that hard the same way they did at ist ? Let me break it Down for you . 1/Image
Israel claims it has destroyed nearly two-thirds of Iranโ€™s ballistic missile launch capability specifically the TELs (Transporter Erector Launchers). They present this as the reason Iran is now launching fewer missiles each day.

Iranian missile launchers are almost always road mobile and often just look like container trucks.

Even with the best of intel, itโ€™s hard to track exactly where they are at any given time. Video attached. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

2/
But that claim doesnโ€™t hold up under scrutiny. So far, only about 10 destroyed TELs have been visually confirmed.If Iran still has hundreds of launchers, why hasnโ€™t it launched another massive missile wave?

The answer lies in logistics, geography, and air superiority.3/

Israeli F-35s damaged centrifuge halls, enrichment plants, and substations. Which CRIPPLES
Iranโ€™s weapons-grade uranium production. It delays weaponization, exposes weak air defense, and triggers domestic backlash.
