The 12th Brigade of the Indian army was severely defeated, and its headquarters was directly destroyed by rocket projectiles: China's electronic warfare played a big role.

Destruction of the 12th Indian Brigade Headquarters

The Indian army suffered another heavy defeat in the ground battle. Pakistani A-100/Fatah-1 long-range rocket artillery launched precision-guided munitions to accurately strike the headquarters of the 12th Mountain Brigade, one of the main Indian forces in the Kashmir region. The Indian army's forward elite troops' command post was completely destroyed.

The 12th Mountain Brigade of the 9th Mountain Division of the 15th Corps is an elite王牌force of the Indian Army on the front lines of Kashmir. It mainly carries out tactical reconnaissance, frontline control, and assault combat operations, making it a core tactical force of the Indian Army.

Because the 12th Mountain Brigade has rapid response, independent combat, and rapid reinforcement capabilities, after the Indian Army launched Operation Sindhuur, the 12th Mountain Brigade immediately deployed its forces to prepare for a surprise counterattack.

However, that night, Pakistan precisely targeted and destroyed the 12th Mountain Brigade's command center, knocking out the Indian Army's forward command and control institutions.

The Indian Army's deployment of Soviet-made M-46 130mm howitzers and other artillery clusters to bombard four areas along the Kashmir front have all been suppressed by Pakistan's SH-15 155mm truck-mounted cannons. Indian media reported that this round of shelling resulted in 15 deaths and dozens of injuries among Indian forces.

On Twitter X, there are unverified reports that the Indian Army launched four surface-to-surface ballistic missiles at Pakistan in a night attack. However, it is suspected that all four missiles were interfered with; three fell within Indian Amritsar territory, while only one landed in Pakistan's Gujranwala area.

In order to prevent Pakistani Air Force retaliation, India has requested that the cities of Jaipur in the northwest and several other cities across the country begin practicing blackout drills to prepare for large-scale air raids.

Furthermore, the air battle that occurred early this morning was indeed a major technological shock. Chinese-made weapons, even the low-end versions, were like cutting through melons and chopping vegetables, overwhelming various types of Mirage 2000 fighters, Su-30 fighters, MiG-29 fighters, and even the Rafale fighters.

Anti-aircraft missiles intercepted BrahMos supersonic missiles from India, Polish-produced Kadysh loitering munitions, and SH-15 155mm truck-mounted cannons suppressed Indian artillery.

Pakistani A-100/Fatah-1 long-range rocket artillery launched precision-guided munitions to accurately strike the headquarters of the 12th Mountain Brigade, one of the main Indian forces in the Kashmir region.

It must be noted that these weapons are considered low-end equipment within our military system. There are at least five or six more advanced fighter jets than the J-10 in the air force. In the army, there are also several more advanced self-propelled howitzers than the SH-15 truck-mounted cannon and more advanced rocket launchers than the A-100/Fatah-1 long-range rocket artillery.

China's Electronic Warfare Plays a Major Role

Besides the advantage in weapon performance, electronic warfare advantages have also played a significant role. For example, the guidance systems on air-to-air missiles are relatively weak. To strike high-speed maneuvering targets at a distance of 160 kilometers, continuous flight control commands from airborne early warning aircraft are required, as well as advanced two-way data links.

To interfere with India's satellite-guided missiles and bombs, advanced electronic warfare systems are required. Prior to the outbreak of hostilities, the Indian Defense Intelligence Network reported that Pakistan had deployed China's DWL-002 electronic warfare system in the border region, capable of interfering with India's satellite navigation signals and radar systems.

Moreover, the K/RKL700A electronic warfare pod equipped on the J-10CE fighter jet has twice proven capable of fully suppressing Indian Air Force aircraft. This time, it even cut off and interfered with the data communication systems between India's Air Force aircraft, AWACS, and ground radars.

Whose electronic warfare capability is stronger, who can suppress and interfere with whom, depends on the development level of civilian computers, electronics industry, and chip industry. In the world, only the US and China are relatively strong in this aspect. India, Russia, and France are far behind.

The KG-600 electronic warfare pod on the J-10 fighter can scan the entire frequency band of electronic signals in 0.8 seconds. Through AI rapid calculations to generate interference signals and use ultra-wideband interference to enemy radars. How can Su-30 or MiG-29 aircraft from the mechanized era compete?

This is not just a war of fighters against fighters, missiles against missiles, and cannons against cannons. This is an information-based "sky network" combat system. Behind every J-10 fighter and every SH-15 truck-mounted cannon is a tripartite electronic warfare system created by China, including electromagnetic screens, data links, and information systems to achieve shared battlefield "sky networks."

The Indian Army still fights independently. How could they possibly win? Therefore, in the skies over Kashmir, this is a hunting ground where a digitized and informatized army confronts a mechanized-era army.
