Hi @Mid_Day, that's a Gripen. Neither the Indian Air Force nor the Pakistan Air Force operate any.

Hi @TimesOfIndia, why a 'representative image' of an F-35 though?

Hi @WIONews, that isn't a Sukhoi-30, that's a Jaguar.

Hi @IndiaToday, that's an American AH-64 Apache attack chopper, not a 'Chinese helicopter'.

@IndiaToday Hi @AIRNewsAlerts, that isn't a QRSAM, that's the Agni-V ballistic missile.

Hi @httweets, that isn't the Indian QRSAM, that's the Russian Smerch multi-barrel rocket launcher system.

Hi @TimesNow, that's an American soldier.

Hi @EconomicTimes, that's the Akash SAM, not the Nag ATGM.

Hi @FinancialXpress, that's the Agni-V long range nuclear ballistic missile, not the Nag anti-tank missile.

Hi @TheQuint, that's a Chinese-designed Pakistan Air Force JF-17, not an F-16.

Hi @France24, that's not... oh, nevermind.

Hi @TimesNow, that's a @NorthropGrumman RQ-4 Global Hawk, not the General Atomics MQ-9B SeaGuardian that has been cleared for India.

Yes, but that's a legacy Hornet, @WarIsBoring.

Sigh.

Hi @moneycontrolcom, those aren't C-17s, those are Rafales.

Hi @PDChina, that's the Agni-V long range nuclear ballistic missile, not India's new QRSAM.

Hi @NewIndianXpress, that isn't a MiG-23, that's a Su-30 MKI.

Hi @TimesNow, that's a US Army soldier, not Indian.

Hi @ETDefence, those are MiG-29s, not Jaguars.

Hi @The_Hindu, those are Mi-35s, not Apaches.

Hi @ETDefence, we certainly hope #AdaniSaab isn't planning to build MiG-21s in India.

Sigh, @Forbes_India. No, that isn't an ALH Dhruv.

Hi @ZeeNews, there's no F-16 or F-18 in that picture. That's an F-15 and a B-1B.

Hi @Indiacom, that isn't a Nag missile.

Where @RAeSTimR takes a swing. A big one.

Hi @ETDefence, Russia doesn’t build or offer F-16s.

Hi @NewIndianXpress, don’t think that’s *quite* the ‘US drone’ Pakistan is worried about.

Hi @INCIndia, Saab doesn't build F-16 "fighter aircrafts".

Hi @FinancialXpress, that isn’t a sailboat, that’s aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.

Hi @CNNNews18, that isn’t the Nirbhay cruise missile, that’s an Akash surface-to-air missile.

Hi @INCIndia, it's spelt 'R-A-F-A-L-E'.

Hi @EconomicTimes, that isn't China's Dongfeng-41, that's India's Agni-V.

Hi @WIONews, that's India's Nirbhay cruise missile, not China's new ballistic missile.

Hi @Mail_Today, that’s a @Saab Gripen, not a Rafale.

Hi @CNNnews18, those are @BAESystemsplc Hawks, not Kirans.

Hi @WIONews, that’s India’s Nirbhay cruise missile in the picture.

Hi @The_Hindu, excellent report, but that’s INS Chakra in your front page photo, not INS Arihant.

Hi @TheQuint, that's another picture of INS Chakra, not INS Arihant.

Hi @OfficeOfRG, that’s a Bell Huey helicopter. The Indian Army doesn’t operate those.

Hi @Livemint, that’s the Agni IV, not the #Agni5.

Hi @TimesNow, that’s an An-32, not a MiG-21.

That’s a US Tomahawk, not an Indian Nirbhay, @EconomicTimes.

We can’t find anyone who got a picture wrong (so far) on the Rafale story! 👊🏽 #ThingsChange

Hi @dna, the tragic crash was of a Virus SW80 microlight aircraft. That’s a picture of the IAF’s heaviest jet, the Su-30 MKI.

Hi @livemint, you’ve probably given people a real scare by using that picture of an LCA Tejas (flawless safety record), instead of the Virus SW80 microlight that tragically crashed.

Hi @NewsNationTV, that’s a Russian Su-57 PAK FA test plane you’ve got in that graphic on aircraft India is deploying near the China border.

Hi @ABPnewsTV, that’s a restored vintage IAF de Havilland Tiger Moth, not a microlight of the kind that crashed.

Hi @NCPspeaks & @Supriya_Sule, the Rafale is not a helicopter, it’s a fighter plane.

Hi @GodrejCinthol, nice tribute, but that's a Eurofighter Typhoon in your picture, not a MiG-21 that #AvaniChaturvedi flies.

Hi @Livemint, we need to talk.

Hi @bsindia, that isn’t a Chinese J-20, it’s an American F/A-18.

Hi @IndianExpress, that isn’t a Nag ATGM, that’s a BrahMos.

Hi @DNA, that’s the Agni-V, not Agni-II.

Hi @moneycontrolcom, that isn’t an interceptor boat, that’s aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.

Hi @moneycontrolcom, pretty sure the @IndianNavy all-woman crew isn’t sailing around the world in an aircraft carrier.

Hi @DefexpoI, as @SaurabhJoshi points out, that image you’ve used is from Band Of Brothers.

Hi @ZeeNewsHindi, your show on India’s LCA Tejas has a Sino-‘Pak’ JF-17 fighter in that bottom band.

Hi @Scroll_in, that's the Netra airborne early warning jet, not the sort of fighter aircraft your report is about.

Hi @OutlookIndia, that's not a fighter jet, that's an An-32 transport aircraft,

Hi @BSIndia, we need to talk.

Not to be trivial too, but it’s spelt R-A-F-A-L-E, @Siddaramaiah.

Hi @moneycontrolcom, we need to talk.

Hi @moneycontrolcom, that isn’t a Russian S-400, that’s an Indian Akash missile.

Hi @HTTweets, that’s not an ‘anti-submarine warfare chopper’, that’s an F-16.

Hi @FinancialXpress, those aren’t LCA Tejas jets, those are Mirage 2000s. (H/t @Abhej1t)

Hi @MyNation, India doesn’t have F-35s.

Hi @thewire_in, that’s an American B-1B Lancer bomber aircraft, not a fifth generation fighter.

Hi @DeptofDefense, that isn’t an MV22B Osprey, that’s a CH-53.

Hi @MyNation, that’s a Boeing AH-64 Apache, not an AgustaWestland helicopter type.

Obligatory 👏🏾👍🏾 for media getting their pictures right on the Rafale story. 🏅

[Spoke too soon]

Hi @TimesNow, those aren't Rafales, those are Sukhoi Su-34s.

Hi @IndianExpress, your FRONT PAGE picture with the Rafale story is a @Saab Gripen.

So close, @EconomicTimes! That’s a Eurofighter Typhoon, not a Rafale.

Hi @MyGovAssam, here's a fact for you: those are F-16s in your 'facts on Kargil War' post.

🤦🏾‍♂️From 'Band Of Brothers' to the iconic WW2 image from Iwo Jima, gaffes aplenty on #KargilVijayDiwas from folks in both of India's national political parties.

Hi @RSSurjewala, it’s honestly about time your team got the spelling of ‘Rafale’ right. ‘Rafael’ happens to be an Israeli armament firm. (Not that @DefenceMinIndia hasn’t done the same before)

Hi @sanjaynirupam, that’s an F-16 model your people are holding at the Rafale protest. 🤦🏽‍♂️
