"Strike deep, fly high, speak softly — but carry a BrahMos". That might well be the new mantra of the Indian Air Force (IAF), which just redefined the phrase “air superiority” for the modern world.
In an operation that was as surgical as it was symbolic, the IAF carried out one of the most precise, coordinated, and bold strikes in contemporary military history, targeting nine Pakistani airbases within 23 minutes and sending shockwaves across Pakistani military and the ISI leadership. No, this isn’t a scene from Top Gun: India — it’s the real world IAF which is the 3rd most powerful air force on the planet, only behind the U.S. and Russia, and, well ahead of China, the UK, and France, according to global military strength rankings.
And while Pakistan fumbled with video game clips masquerading as proof, India let its jets — and its precision — do the talking.
This strike wasn't just military — it was moral. India, the land of Buddha and Gandhi, has long walked the path of peace and non-violence. But after losing over 10,000 innocent lives to terrorism in the past two decades, the message is clear: "We will not be harassed. We will tolerate no more.”
1. A Superpower in the Sky: India's Air Dominance
List of 9 Pakistani Airbases Targeted in the Operation:
- Murid Airbase – A known logistics and training hub.
- Masroor Airbase (Karachi)– One of Pakistan’s largest airbases, housing strike aircraft and radar units.
- Chaklala Airbase (Rawalpindi) – Close to military headquarters and used for VIP and strategic operations.
- Peshawar Airbase – Critical for operations along the western front and known to shelter terrorist launchpads.
- Sargodha Airbase (PAF Base Mushaf) – Home to the F-16 fleet; a high-value strike target.
- Kamra Airbase (PAF Base Minhas) – Site of aircraft manufacturing and drone assembly.
- Quetta Airbase – Monitored for harboring insurgents and cross-border militants.
- Skardu Airbase – Located in Gilgit-Baltistan; plays a key role in operations near the Siachen Glacier.
- Jacobabad Airbase – Known for dual-use military and covert operations near the southern front.
If there was a medal for world-class delusion, Pakistan would win it uncontested. After suffering a precision attack on nine of its airbases, the country did what it does best — spin a tale so detached from reality, it belongs in the Marvel multiverse.
Within hours of the strike, state-run Pakistani media rolled out doctored images, low-res video game clips, and laughable montages from YouTube war simulations, claiming to have “destroyed” Indian fighter jets and its foreign minister indicating instagram reels as proofs when asked for evidence . The world watched, cringed, and moved on. The only ones who believed it? The ones trapped inside Pakistan’s carefully curated echo chamber.
At the helm of this circus was a puppet Prime Minister, handpicked and dictated by the Pakistan military establishment, a force that behaves less like a defence institution and more like a terror syndicate with uniforms and nukes. The real strings, of course, are being pulled by General Asim Munir— a radical Islamist hardliner with a mad jihadist worldview and zero grip on modern diplomacy. With every move, he proves Pakistan isn’t being led — it’s being dragged into the past.
And just when you thought the satire couldn’t write itself, Pakistan’s state channels declared victory in what they called a “decisive defensive win.” Well, until date Pakistan has not accepted its defeat in 1971 Indo-Pak war and feeds to its public to have won the 1971 war even after surrendering its military then and what led to the formation of Bangladesh. So, this is no surprise.
Yes — nine airbases hit, nuclear bunkers and command center exposed, global embarrassment achieved… and yet, “victory” was declared.
You can’t make this up.
Actually, scratch that — Pakistan did make it up.
Adding to the absurdity, Pakistan claimed “civilian casualties” — a familiar script pulled from its playbook. But ground intelligence and satellite validation tell a very different story. These “civilians” were not innocent bystanders, but radicalized foot soldiers from jihadi madrassas institutions that have long been accused of breeding hate, glorifying martyrdom, and training children from a young age to ‘bleed India with a thousand cuts’.
This is not new. Ajmal Kasab, the lone captured terrorist from the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was trained in one of these very establishments — taught to kill, conditioned to hate, and deployed with a single goal: death to Hindus, death to India.
5. Modi’s Mic Drop Moment: Busting Pakistan’s Lies in Style
While Pakistan’s propaganda machine was busy Photoshopping fake “damage” to Indian infrastructure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a masterclass in silent strength and style. In what can only be described as a “checkmate in aviators”, Modi visited the Adampur Airbase — the very same base that Pakistan laughably claimed it had “destroyed.”
What the world saw instead?
A fully operational, spotless, combat-ready airbase.
Jets lined up, ground crew at work, no sign of damage — only discipline and dominance.
This wasn’t just a visit. It was a calculated message to the world:
“India doesn’t need to reply with noise. It replies with proof.”
It was also a direct slap to Pakistan’s disinformation campaign, showcasing the difference between a mature democracy led by a strategic statesman and a dysfunctional state run by a military in denial.
However, this isn’t a story of hatred. In fact, at least 30% (my personal guess) of Pakistan’s population — hardworking, peaceful, ambitious citizens — want nothing to do with violence or radicalism. These are students, entrepreneurs, artists, and workers trying to live normal lives, dream big, and escape the grasp of a military that treats its own people as pawns.
It is this military-industrial-terror complex that turns entire neighborhoods into militant camps, uses religious institutions as launchpads for terror, and then hides behind civilians when consequences arrive. And sadly, it's these innocent lives that are often left as collateral, paying the price for a military that craves conflict over coexistence.
India’s action wasn’t aimed at the people of Pakistan — it was aimed at those who hold them hostage, and the world should recognize that distinction.
As a result, both Beijing and Washington are being forced to reassess the effectiveness of their military exports, particularly to regions with high strategic sensitivity. The credibility of Chinese and American defence technology has come under scrutiny, prompting a silent reevaluation of future arms sales.
Interestingly, much of the global media is downplaying India’s successful show of strength. This is not merely an editorial choice but a reflection of the uncomfortable questions it raises about the reliability of American and Chinese defence platforms. India's performance challenges long-standing narratives about technological superiority, creating unease in circles that have traditionally dominated global arms discourse.
