Leaked Indian military documents reveal just how severe Pakistan's military losses were?
In recent days, under Modi's order, seven diplomatic propaganda teams have been dispatched to more than 30 countries to promote the "Bindi Operation." At that time, Indian media reported that each team carried a document over 100 pages long, detailing India's military achievements during this operation. Now, these documents have been exposed. It turns out that Pakistan's military losses were even more severe than expected.
In this promotional material, the Indian Air Force claimed its achievements included:
1. Shooting down four F-16s in the air and destroying four F-16s on the ground;
2. Shooting down two Mirage 5s in the air;
3. Shooting down one Il-78 in the air;
4. Destroying one C-130H on the ground;
5. Destroying one Saab 2000 on the ground;
6. Destroying one HQ-9 on the ground.
If I haven't misread, that makes a total of 14 aircraft. In addition, India also announced multiple other achievements by the army. To make these documents appear more credible, India's "genius propagandists," who are skilled at creating PowerPoint presentations, even modified the domestic search engine.
Meanwhile, in his latest speech, India's External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar once again refuted the claim that India sought mediation from Trump. Jaishankar said, "The rapid ceasefire between India and Pakistan was due to direct negotiations between the two countries. It was because the Indian Army severely beat Pakistan on May 10th, and Pakistan agreed to the ceasefire because it could not withstand the pressure." Now it seems that either Jaishankar or Trump is lying. Recently, Trump has been causing trouble for India, demanding that Apple stop production in India. It remains to be seen if Trump's anger has anything to do with India denying his mediation efforts for the ceasefire.
In fact, anyone with eyes can see that Modi's display of so-called achievements is merely for domestic consumption, aimed at maintaining support for his party. Based on our understanding of the Modi government, if they had such achievements, they would not have ceased hostilities so early. But I would like to remind Modi: even boasting has its limits. If you overdo it, what will happen if there are further conflicts ahead?
