Great insights Fabian. Many thanks. Could you also shed some light on both the technology and the tactic of usage of low tech Turkish drones that were unleashed in mass numbers on India which exhausted Indian air defence system possibly allowing some Pakistani strikes to escape through.

A great catch-up after your last post, Fabian.

Do you think this might turn into a low-intensity prolonged conflict with normalised drone attacks and missile strikes?

Also, do these provided attacks potentially have a greater operational loss outcome - something that equals to the jet losses on May 7 or anything that might harm them in the long run?

And, in the view of Rubio’s calls with Pakistani COAS and Indian Minister, have the U.S. realised its importance in having a diplomatic check or should we expect a middle-eastern country to bring a break through?

You're note about the "alarming intelligence" the U.S. received underscores the importance of situational awareness and effective intelligence on an adversaries nuclear enterprise, capabilities, movements, and command and control. If interested, I discuss the Chinese's military's evolving C4ISR capabilities on my Substack (https://ordersandobservations.substack.com/). Over the next few weeks I'll be outlining the PLA's space-based ISR capabilities, and eventually will tackle it's rapidly changing nuclear C4ISR architecture.

Unfortunately India neither has the capacity to fight nor provide toilets for 50% of its population.

Hot air has been pumped into India by western nations to stand against China. Good luck.

How many jets did India lose vs Pakistan? The confidence and poise with which the Pakistani briefing was held vs the reluctance of sharing the number of aircraft’s lost by Indian chief staff was fishy! There was a strange air of authentic confidence in Pakistani side! So what actually happened!

Escalation risk was arguably higher in Oct 2022.
