Sindoor or Dust?

Operation Sindoor didn’t redraw maps.
But it redrew the margins of risk, restraint, & rhetoric.

India tested the boundaries.
Pakistan reinforced them with calm hands and clear eyes.
Let’s break it down.
What changed, what cracked and what’s next...
(1/12) Indian Perspective First.

For them it wasn’t a war it was a political demonstration for national consumption...

A choreographed display of anger, frustration, and blatant overconfidence.

No real objectives...
Just a test: How far can we go before Pakistan fires back?

NATO called it the "SA21 Growler"

We Meant to Hit That and Other Great Jokes
.
9th and 10th May 2025
With the wounds of 7-Nil still fresh they vowed revenge. Their end goal?
Neutralize the PAF by targeting airfields and runways.
Weapons: BrahMos (surface launched), SCALP EG, Harop and other LMs.

Their Narrative vs. Reality
Our Indian friends and their media starting screaming
Pakistan’s Air defence system failed! Every missile hit!

Reality:
Out of 15 BrahMos launched, only 6 caused minor military damage.

The rest?
🔸Intercepted
🔸Spoofed
🔸Landed in dirt

Cold Start? Quick End.

With things heating up across CFL
India invades Pakistan to execute its dream:
Split the country in two.
Crush resistance in Punjab.
Roll into Sindh.
Push west toward Balochistan & trigger a separatist uprising.
Let’s see how that goes.

(1/16)
You're an Indian general.
The doctrine is Cold Start.

Objectives:

• Cut through southern Punjab & Sindh
• Swing westward across desert terrain
• Link up with "friendly" insurgents in Balochistan.
• Declare "Free Balochistan" under Indian protection

One thrust. One win. Or so you thought.

One Country Bought Weapons, The Other Built a War Machine.
.
Everyone here loves talking about India’s gorgeous Rafales and deadly S-400s.
They look sleek.
They sound deadly.
But modern warfare doesn’t care how your toys look.
It cares about how they coordinate attacks.

(1/12) Wars today aren’t won by platforms or quantity.

The battles are decided by who has the better strategy and cohesion.

Information and its flow decides who the victors are.

That’s the war Pakistan has honed itself in.

And India, well… still learning.

Not 1971 Anymore! Why Your Grandpa’s Victory Doesn’t Apply 🧵

History doesn’t repeat itself.
It burns those who think it will.

It is your turn now.

Indian analysts still look at Pakistan through an old 70s lens:
✅ Split East and West
✅ Overrun conventional lines
✅ Parade POWs

Good old 1971.

But guess what?
Things have changes.

Pakistan isn't that Pakistan.
And India isn't that India.

India thinks they can “turn off the tap and stop Indus from flowing towards Pakistan.”
As if the Indus is a water cooler they can lean on at will.
Spoiler: it isn’t.
🧵 A thread on water, war, and why you can’t choke a river that doesn’t answer to you.
(1/9) The Indus River system originates in Chinese Tibet, flows through IIOJK, and spills into Pakistan.
It waters 90% of Pakistan’s agriculture, sustains 250 million lives, and powers an entire civilization.
Mess with that & the response won’t be measured in megawatts.
It’ll be in megaton yields.

Demystifying the S400 Triumf

Opposition Forces have a myriad of Air Defence Systems, at the pinnacle of which is the Russian S400 Triumph or as our friends at NATO like to call it the SA21 Growler.

(1/8) A typical S400 Battery isn't just a bunch of missiles mounted on trucks;
it is a very complicated system of various sensors and nodes along with missile launchers.

🧵 Capturing the Monkey 🐒

On 26th Feb the resolve of a nation was tested, The world watched, holding its breath, as events unfolded. Two nuclear armed countries stood at a flashpoint, India had tried to target a supposed terrorist training camp at the crest of a hill on the border of AJK and KPK.

Aircraft on patrol were vectored, majority of the bogeys turned back.
The package up north managed to lob their munitions hastily.
But the bombs had missed their supposed target a children's seminary hitting uninhabited areas near Jabba, Balakot, causing no casualties.

🧵 Zero Shots fired; Thousands laid dead 🚨

1️⃣
On December 13th 2001 5️⃣ armed assailants in a vehicle which had labels of Home Ministry and Parliament drove into the Indian Parliament Building.
... 2️⃣
This happened forty minutes after the sessions of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had adjourned but the parliament building still had officials inside.
The assailants armed with rifles, grenade launchers and grenades started shooting....

India, a country that prides itself in being the largest democracy in the world, a country that has been vying for superpower status for ages now but is being held back by an invisible hand even though it meets almost all the prerequisites of one.

Lets try to dissect why India is being held back.
(1/N) A 'security state' is a state that prioritizes national security over individual freedoms. Policies often center on strict surveillance, militarization, and the curtailment of civil liberties in the name of protecting the nation.

Is this where India stands today?

Taking over the Wakhan Corridor will be a strategic mishap the likes of which even this country hasn't seen before.
I sincerely hope that the narrative is only being pushed on Social media and has no real world implications.
Here's to hoping better sense prevails.
1/6 2️⃣
Wakhan is the only land route that connects Afghanistan to China.
China has vested interests in Afghanistan as an alternative route to Iran/Red Sea.
Taking over Wakhan means we're essentially going against China and that's a struggle we won't be able to endure.

Burning Bridges; Leading the Way - Assault Bridges
The battle is shaped by the battlefield it is fought on. Even in this day and age terrain can stop a marching army to a standstill.
To counter threats posed by natural terrain, modern militaries rely on specialized units: The Engineers.
(1/N) Trained for both construction and destructions the military engineers can literally move mountains and split rivers.
Among their arsenal is a feat of engineering; The Assault Bridge.
A Bridge, simply put, is a structure connecting two points that are otherwise separated by an obstacle.

Valor in the Face of Overwhelming Odds (A short Thread)
Imagine being thousands of kilometers away from home in hostile territory holding a small fortified camp with only 70(40 regulars and 30 paramilitary) against thousands of Mukti Rebels and thousands of Regular Indian troops supported by Air force and artillery for 21 days without rations or even the thought of a backup.

Pakistan's Catch 22

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
-Albert Einstein

A living breathing example of this saying can be seen in Pakistan's Foreign Policy especially when it comes to Afghanistan.
(1/N) A similar cycle of patterns repeating over decades upon decades ending in similar result, a destabilized Afghanistan and in turn a porous western border to a land where multiple groups are fighting with one another without a single one having a complete writ over the land.
