Transcript
00:00The war of narratives. Almost the entire American leftist and the European media has
00:11swallowed Pakistan's narrative of a grand air victory hook, line and sinker. Hook, line
00:19and sinker. You know most of it was based on a very slick powerpoint presentation. No
00:27actual battle. The Pakistani air force is much better at powerpoint presentations than
00:34unfortunately our external affair ministry Mandarins were. And Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb,
00:44their equivalent of the deputy chief of air staff operations on our side, he gave that
00:50presentation immediately on the 8th morning. And it was a very slick powerpoint presentation
00:58which gave the, you know, the impression of a massive air circus taking place over the
01:07western borders of India and Pakistan. He said about, you know, 70 to 80 aircraft rose from
01:15the Indian side and about 40 aircraft rose to, you know, combat this air armada which was
01:23in four blocks, you know, heading towards Pakistan from Kashmir down to Kutch. And how the Pakistani
01:32airwax made a valiant, you know, near the Afghan border they started making a valiant track.
01:38The Saab's and the Chinese airborne early warning aircraft, how they picked up our, you know,
01:46Indian aircraft and how the Chinese J-10Cs armed with the PL-15 were able to get the better of this
01:56thing. He spoke, you know, he used very sexy western jargon, multi-domain operation center of gravity,
02:05etc. Made a big impression on the civilian media, you know, big, big, big impression on the civilian
02:12media, which, you know, were looking at him, Pakistani girl, starry eyed and all that.
02:19He mentioned that the Chinese had given them a library of the entire electronic signatures of each
02:27and every Indian air force jet fighter or aircraft and they had this library with them. So they could
02:35identify where the Rafales were coming, where the Sukhois were coming, where the MiG-29s were coming
02:42and the Rafales, he claimed, were the center of gravity. Spare us, spare us the bullshit.
02:49Did he show even, you know, any, any air warfare specialist could have picked hundreds of holes
02:58in that ridiculous narrative. Ridiculous, self-serving, propagandistic, bombast, buckwass.
03:06Right. Like I said, any military or air power professional could spot glaring holes in the
03:16Aurangzeb narrative in the ridiculous fairy tale that was spun by Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb of the
03:24Pakistani air headquarter, their air ops. Right. He gave us to understand that China had given them
03:34a library of the electronic signatures of each and every Indian jet fighter and aircraft that
03:41had, has ever flown in the northern theater. Right. What this gentleman forgot to tell us was,
03:50or he forgot totally to show us the real proof of a kill, you know, air to air kill when the
03:57DASI, you know, director of air staff inspection carries out, you know, analysis of how air battles
04:04have gone, how air exercises have gone. They show the radar tracks, the radar acquiring a target,
04:11firing a missile and that blip going off. Not one radar track was shown. Just that we fired,
04:19you know, this is the two opposing circuses of aircraft, the greatest air battle in the world,
04:26120 aircraft, both from India and Pakistan, sometime exaggerated, 240 aircraft, you know,
04:33they fought and Pakistan won an epic victory, air victory bullshit. Give us another one.
04:41Show us the radar tracks. Show us the radar tracks. Not one has been shown. And apropos this wonderful
04:48library, this wonderful library of electronic signatures of each and every aircraft, Indian
04:55jet fighters, which China is supposed to have given to you. I hope you know, and I hope the Chinese
05:01know that routinely the Indian aircraft, the Indian fighters, when they are going in for such
05:07operations, we also use decoy aircraft ahead of us. Decoy aircraft like the Lakshaya, pilotless target
05:17aircraft, which we use for target practice, speed of Mach 0.7 Mach, can fly anything from 50 meters to,
05:25you know, almost up to nine kilometers up, you know, and it has the electronic payload to replicate
05:34the electronic signatures of the much larger Su-30 Rafales and the MiG-29s, etc. It can replicate
05:45the electronic signatures of any of our aircraft, right? And with these, we were able to fool them.
05:54So, AVM Aurangzeb can now start looking at whether he shot down any, you know, pirate-less target,
06:04aircraft or did he, was he able to achieve anything at all in that great air circus battle that he showed
06:13to the global media. You know, what really didn't help was that when, you know, he was strutting
06:22around, impressing the girls in the, you know, media audience and impressing them with his, you know,
06:29a very slick PowerPoint, you know, projection. He won the war on the PowerPoint. I'm sorry,
06:36he lost the war on the ground badly, badly, right? Our unfortunate initial decision was to field our
06:45foreign secretary, a very fine man, a very eurydite scholar, a very good bureaucrat, but who is not a
06:54military specialist, who is not an air warrior, who does not, you know, it is not his, you know,
07:02domain. It is not his domain of expertise to talk about air battles, really. So, he was helped by two
07:10girls who were also not from the operational directorates, those who, you know, planned the
07:16operation, execute the operation. They are the best people to explain that operation. So, unfortunately,
07:22they didn't even have a PowerPoint. They were holding up, you know, photographs and trying to
07:27point them down. Half of them were not seen. I mean, they were, they were shortcomings. They were
07:32obvious shortcomings. It was not a professional briefing by a military professional. It was by
07:38a very qualified bureaucrat, who is, I would say, the last word in diplomacy, statecraft, etc.
07:46But, air battles were not really his domain expertise. So, initially, you know, by comparison,
07:56our briefing suffered in relation to the Pakistani briefing by their air vice marshal Aurangzeb from
08:04the, from his directorate of military operations, Pakistan directorate of air operations, not military
08:10operations, air operations. There is another fact that we must remember. Any air force, the standard
08:19practice it, before it attacks some selected targets, it first carries out C ADD, suppression
08:27of enemy air defenses. It attacks the enemy radars, it attacks the enemy anti-aircraft surface
08:35to air missiles, batteries, etc., command and control centers, tears holes in the sky, which
08:41it then exploits to attack the selected targets that it has chosen, military or in this case,
08:48terrorist targets. India was somehow very loath to escalate and we thought that we would start
08:57the operation only by attacking terrorist targets and thereby give Pakistan an off-ramp in which
09:04it takes to back off even now. This, I don't think was a very wise decision, because it needlessly
09:13constrained the Indian air force. It, it, it, it put constraints on our initial operations,
09:20which we could have done without, which we could have done without. But, be that as it may,
09:25you know, we fired 24, you know, cruise missiles, Brahmos as well as the Spice cruise missiles from our
09:35Rafals, Brahmos from our Su-30s and each and every one of them hit their target. Each and every one of
09:45them hit their targets and all these balloony claims by, uh, air, vice, marshal, Aurangzeb of a great circus,
09:55world war one type, Reistofen style circus, very impressive it sounds, you know, red knight, red baron,
10:01bishop, etc., etc., that is world war one era. We are into well beyond the post cold war timings. So, I think, uh, uh, air marshal, Aurangzeb should grow up a little, stop reading less,
10:04war comics and concentrate more on his profession, right, where his air force has taken the drubbing of a lifetime. We are not saying it, foreign military experts, respected domain experts like Tom Cooper, like John C.
10:32Cooper, like John Spencer, have all come out and said it is a decisive victory of the Indian Air Force, right? They were able to hit every target that they attempted and the whole, you know, uh, whole Pakistani balloon was punctured badly on 8th, 9th and 10th of May.
10:55So, uh, 8th of May, they were waxing eloquent on the air circus and four Indian blocks of aircraft and so many, uh, some about 80, 70, 80, 100 Indian aircraft versus 40 Pakistani aircraft.
11:10I mean, all those very romantic fairy tales that he was telling, they don't stand up to scrutiny one bit. And the next day, they got clobbered. Next day, Pakistan retaliated by escalating horizontally and vertically.
11:28How? They fired 400 Turkish and Chinese drones. They were trying to probe our air defenses. They were trying to pick up our frequencies, you know, pinpoint our locations for subsequent attack by their drones. Second day, they launched the loitering munitions, they launched their drones and with some of their cruise missiles.
11:50Each and every one of them got shot down. I hope you know that in this particular engagement, the Indian, Indian Air Force, the Indian Air Defense, they have shot down over 600 Chinese and Turkish, Pakistani drones.
12:08Six, six hundred of them have been shot out of the bloody skies. Hardly, the, the interception range was over 90 percent. Interception, uh, you know, percentages were beyond 90 percent. Just a few odd balls here and there got through.
12:2810th was the crucial day. 10th was the crucial day. 10th was the crucial day and Pakistan launched Shaheen 1. Tactical ballistic missiles on the 10th. Not one, but I suppose a fair number, number not disclosed.
12:4410th was the crucial day and Pakistan. Now this is the Chinese M9. Now this is the Chinese M9 originally. It's a variant of the Chinese M9 missile, range of 700 kilometers, warhead payload of 750 kilograms. This can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.
13:03And you know, they are, you know, burnouts. It has aьзЬ incident. You know,
13:29these are MLRS's initially it was being claimed that these were FATE missile but the FATE missile
13:36the missiles ballistic missiles have now been identified as Shaheen 1 as Shaheen 1 right now
13:44like I said this carries both a conventional and a can carry a nuclear payload and these were aimed
13:53at Delhi one of them was aimed at the golden temple for which Pakistani ISI had very dutifully
14:02made the propaganda line that India is firing missiles at its own golden temple can you hear
14:09of a more ridiculous claim than that but it is not even laughable right and then the Pakistani
14:18machinations came to light when they were trying to fire at the golden temple each and every one
14:24of them got shot to smithereens this Shaheen 1 was intercepted by a kinetic shot by the S 400
14:32and over Chandigarh you could see the shower of meteorites falling down as this Shaheen 1 was
14:38blasted out of the sky and quite obviously no Indian planner could wait to see whether these missiles
14:45were carrying conventional or nuclear warheads so we hit the Chagai hills we have hit the
14:53the Kirana hills right the nuclear storage sites and which the entrance and the exits have been blocked
15:03and Pakistan realized that all the missile based nuclear weapons could not get through because we
15:09had the S 400s to back up the S 400s we had the Prithvi PAD point air defense system designed to blow out
15:18ballistic missiles so Pakistan's tissue of lies has been exposed when Pakistan retaliated India hit 11 out of 12
15:29Pakistani air bases once again we use the pilotless target aircraft the dummy aircraft to make the
15:38Chinese air defense radars open up when they opened up these were hit by the harop kamikaze suicide drones
15:47which the Israelis have supplied to us
15:51and they again switched them off moved their radars moved their
15:57HQ-9 and HQ-16 Chinese surface to air missile batteries a lot of them
16:03you know and we sent the pilotless aircraft again
16:07with the electronic signatures which the Chinese have so thoughtfully
16:11given to the Pakistanis of the every single jet they claim of the Indian air force so they opened up again
16:18and this time of course we destroyed four radars we hit the HQ batteries we hitched the command and control
16:25nodes we hit their air bases we hit their nuclear weapons storage sites and the people in Rawalpindi and Islamabad
16:35might as well buy dozi meters and iodine tablets to prevent throat cancer
16:41so where do we go from here frankly in hindsight we let Pakistan off the hook i think we were too kind
16:54in giving it a pause in operations i'm sure it will go running to china to try and make up its losses running
17:03to turkey to try and make up its losses as fast as possible and free of cost and you know whatever
17:10two billion dollars it has got from the imf will all go to china and turkey to buy more missiles buy more
17:17drones etc etc and the task is crystal clear for us thank god we have not called off
17:26operation sindur we only paused it we need to utilize this pause to increase our defense budget
17:37to 2.5 to 3 percent of our gdp
17:43somehow we've been only keen to economize on defense
17:47i think this economy can be very costly on the battlefield
17:51we need to open our coffers now and at least
17:56we have to be ahead technologically ahead thank god for our indigenous scientists who have
18:01enabled us to do that but we have to have over matching capabilities with pakistan at least
18:08if not both china and pakistan and for that if we have to spend money we have to spend money
18:14money please open your purse strings and let it flow we can't afford this you know penny pinching any longer
18:24number one number two i think it's about time that we concluded the deal the russians have been very
18:32generous they have offered us a deal of about 36 to 42 of the su 57s
18:39i think now we have we have very carefully watched who has done what by us during this conflict and
18:48i think the two friends who come closest are israel russia and france not necessarily in that order
18:55unfortunately the french refused to share the source code of the rafale otherwise we could have
19:02fitted our astra bvr missiles our bramos cruise missiles on the rafales
19:09they would have done a far better job than they have now the russians share their source code they
19:15share everything they they so do the israelis so i think we have now seen who is our friend and who
19:23is lukewarm and who is not so we must i think quickly make up because not only do we have to
19:31take care of pakistan we also have to take care of china we also have to take care of china
19:38so the su 57s are a must we must get them at the earliest if we still want to go in for the rafales
19:47we we must speed up that but we must tell france that they'll have to share source codes if they
19:54want to sell their rafales to us right we must quickly go in for additional a tag medium artillery guns
20:04we must get ready if necessary for a fight to the finish jai bharat jai hind
20:21you
