Between 1:05 am and 1:30 am on May 7, the Pakistan Air Force achieved a major airpower victory. In what is now a historic moment in air combat, a PAF J-10C shot down an Indian Rafale jet. This marks the first-ever confirmed Rafale downing in combat, and no other air force has done it before. The Rafale, made in France by Dassault Aviation, is a 4.5-generation multirole fighter. Each unit is worth about $120 million. The J-10C, in contrast, costs just $40 million. That’s nearly a third of the price. But in this dogfight, price didn’t matter—performance did. This wasn’t…

The loud and bold tone of Indian media has suddenly gone silent after Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos. This sharp change came after Pakistan’s powerful military response earlier this week. Just a few days ago, Indian news channels were full of fiery claims. Anchors spoke of taking control of Karachi Port and defeating Pakistan in mere hours. But after Pakistan’s military operation targeted key Indian sites, that confidence quickly disappeared. The Pakistani strikes hit Pathankot, Jammu, and Poonch with precision. These attacks under Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos shook the Indian media narrative. Channels that once bragged of conquest are now filled with criticism. They are…
British defence expert Professor Michael Clarke has said that Pakistan military strength caught India by surprise. He made this statement during an interview with a UK news outlet on Saturday. According to Clarke, India did not expect such strong resistance. Pakistan’s advanced military capability shocked Indian officials, especially its use of Chinese technology. He said, “The Indians might have been surprised by the hardware that the Pakistanis brought to bear.” Clarke pointed out Pakistan’s use of J-10 fighter jets during the clashes. One of those jets, he said, likely downed a Rafale jet — a top French-made aircraft in India’s…

A fragile ceasefire remained in place between Pakistan and India on Sunday after a tense night of heavy cross-border fighting. The overnight hostilities rattled both nations before the guns finally fell silent. U.S. President Donald Trump said he would work toward a solution for the Kashmir issue. Pakistan and India, both nuclear-armed neighbors, have fought three wars since gaining independence from British rule in 1947. Two of those wars were over Kashmir, a region both countries claim entirely but govern in parts.

In a bold move against India’s missile attacks, Pakistan has launched a full-scale military operation named Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos. The Pakistan military operation was initiated after India fired missiles at three different air bases early Saturday. One of these bases was near Islamabad. According to officials, Pakistan’s air defence systems intercepted most of the incoming missiles. But the act was seen as a direct aggression. It came during rising hostilities between the two nuclear neighbours, already locked in constant clashes since Wednesday. India had launched attacks deep inside Pakistani territory, escalating the long-running dispute over Kashmir. In response, Pakistan promised retaliation—and…
