Foreword:
Indian Prime Minister Modi held a meeting with government ministers on May 8, calling the country a "sensitive period" and urging all departments to "maintain continuous vigilance" and "keep clear communication." This is Modi's first speech addressing the tense situation, indicating that the current India-Pakistan situation has indeed reached its most tense moment. Pakistan had previously warned that the situation had reached its most critical point, urging all parties to prepare for the most difficult challenges in defending national interests.
India has been angry since it suffered a strong counterattack from Pakistan after launching a surprise attack on Pakistan and losing multiple aircraft. India began deploying nearly 100 drones to attack Pakistani targets. India also ignited conflicts at sea, attacking Pakistani targets. Currently, India wants to restore its face to wash away the humiliation of the failed air battle, but every attack by India ends in failure, further intensifying India's sense of humiliation and making the situation more complicated.

The Pakistan Command Information System reacted 4.7 seconds in advance, locking onto Indian military aircraft and firing ahead of time, ushering in a new era of victory through systems. According to messages from the Pakistan side, the reason why the Pakistan Air Force was able to crush the Indian military in the air combat and achieve an overwhelming victory by downing eight Indian aircraft without losing any of their own was due to having a powerful system. The core advantage of the Pakistan command system lies in the rapid response capability of the command information system. It is reported that the reaction time of the Pakistan command information system was 4.7 seconds faster than that of the Indian military. Within this 4.7-second interval, the Pakistan side completed the entire process of locking onto, firing at, and destroying the Indian military aircraft.
The core of the Pakistan air combat system lies in the "heavenly net" formed by the ZDK-03 airborne early warning aircraft, the JY-27A anti-stealth radar, and the BeiDou satellite navigation system, ensuring early detection of Indian military targets. The ZDK-03 airborne early warning aircraft is equipped with an active phased array radar, with a detection range of up to 400 kilometers, capable of simultaneously tracking 300 targets, and its data processing speed is two generations faster than India's "Netra" airborne early warning aircraft. It is precisely this powerful data processing capability that gives the Pakistan command information system a significant information processing advantage. Combined with the ground radar network, the Pakistan side can complete target positioning within two minutes after the Indian aircraft takes off and transmit coordinates with centimeter-level precision through the BeiDou system, thus firing before the Indian military can react.
China's provided Link-17 data link system interconnects early warning aircraft, fighter jets, ground air defense units, and command centers in real time, forming a closed-loop chain of "strike upon discovery," completely transforming battlefield information flow patterns. After the ZDK-03 airborne early warning aircraft captured signals from India's Rafale fighters, the corresponding parameters were directly transmitted to the J-10CE fighter jets and the Hongqi-9P air defense systems via Link-17, with a total delay of less than 0.3 seconds, and the entire process was without human intervention. In contrast, due to equipment from multiple countries such as the U.S., Russia, and France, India's data links are incompatible, resulting in a data transmission delay of up to 20 seconds, which greatly reduces the reaction speed of the Indian command information system, thus costing the Indian military 4.7 seconds.
The Pakistan command center uses China-developed "battlefield situation intelligent evaluation system," which is a self-learning and decision automation system optimized based on various equipment, capable of autonomously learning massive amounts of data and performing preliminary analysis and judgment. It is reported that during the Indo-Pakistani air combat, the system completed the threat analysis and attack priority sorting of major strike targets in just 2.1 seconds and automatically generated the optimal strike plan for the commander to choose from. After receiving orders, the Pakistan pilots only needed 2.6 seconds from locking onto Indian military aircraft with fire control radar to launching missiles. By the time the Indian Rafale fighters reacted, the Pakistanis had already launched their missiles—it was too late.

Pakistan's formidable anti-drone network achieved a "dimensional strike" advantage over India's drone attacks. On May 9 local time, Pakistan's security authorities revealed that Pakistan's military had destroyed 77 Indian drones, including 29 drones shot down by the evening of May 8, and another 48 successfully shot down from the evening of May 8 to May 9. The core reason why Pakistan was able to shoot down so many Indian military drones in actual combat lies in China's "three-chain anti-drone system," which includes radar chains, electronic chains, and firepower chains.
Among them, the radar chain consists of the YLC-8B mobile radar, which can detect micro-drones within 50 kilometers, and the JY-27A anti-stealth radar, which can detect "Heron" drones at a distance of 200 kilometers. The electronic chain involves China's KREED-2 electronic warfare system, which can disable drone control signals within a 10-kilometer radius. The firepower chain includes China's Silent Hunter anti-drone system, simple anti-drone laser systems, and anti-drone electronic weapons systems. Through the "drone-hunting formation" guided by the early warning aircraft, the three chains of Pakistan can suppress and physically destroy 50 enemy drones within 30 seconds. This is the "dimensional strike" against India's drones in terms of systems.

The era of system crushing has arrived; the era where single weapon performance influences battlefield outcomes has ended, and information fusion systems will prevail as the new form. Pakistan's advanced equipment system is mainly due to all equipment adopting unified technical standards from early warning radars, data links to missile weapons, achieving "plug-and-play" modular expansion, especially China's new information systems. A report by the American RAND Corporation points out: "The 2025 Indo-Pakistani air combat marks the turning point from mechanized war to intelligent war. China's technology export is not only about equipment but also a complete methodology of war." Future wars will be "system versus system" confrontations, and the advantages of single weapon performance will be completely overturned by system integration capabilities.
