Another Indian Air Force Rafale fighter jet was shot down over Sialkot, and the Indian military pilot has been captured.
The Pakistan Air Force and air defense forces have gone completely crazy this time, wreaking havoc. Whether it's manned fighter jets or drones sent by the Indian Air Force, they are being destroyed one after another.
The biggest mistake India made this time was failing to predict that there would be an explosive growth in Chinese science and industry in the past 10 to 20 years. In fact, as late as 2005, the Indian army still had a technical and numerical advantage over Pakistan.
In 2015, there was no technological gap between the Indian army and the Pakistani army, and India still had certain advantages. However, by 2025, Pakistan had already crushed India militarily in terms of technology.
In the past 20 years, especially in the past 10 years, China's development speed in high-end science and technology has been too fast. Just within these 10 years, too many new types of weapons and equipment have appeared in the navy, army, and air force.
The expensive weapons India bought from the West and Russia in limited quantities for many years can no longer match Pakistan. Even if Pakistan is just a low-end version of the armed forces.
