A major news story has just emerged claiming that Pakistan has successfully destroyed India's state-of-the-art S400 air defense system using a hypersonic missile launched from a JF17 Thunder fighter jet. This claim has also been published by China's official state media, Shininoa. You can read it there.
Let me clarify one thing upfront. So far, only Chinese media has confirmed this news. No international media outlet has verified it yet.
Pakistan has also allegedly carried out a cyber attack on India during which it hacked into the websites of the ruling Indian political party. I will share video proof of this later in the video. Now let's analyze the evidence we have and assess whether this news is real and what the available proof suggests.
There's also a report claiming that China assisted Pakistan in targeting the Indian S400 system, possibly because China itself operates the S400 and knows its weaknesses. We will discuss the proof of China's involvement later in the video as well. Friends, many of you watch the videos without subscribing.
Please make sure to subscribe. I put in a lot of effort to create neutral and fact-based videos on defense and geopolitics. I present news articles as proof to support my content.
So, please subscribe and like this video. Welcome back. Late last night, India reportedly launched missile attacks on three Pakistani air bases.
In an early morning press briefing, Pakistan's DGISPR confirmed that India targeted the Rafiki air base in Shot, Murid Air Base in Chakwal and Nuran air base near Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. Pakistan claims that the missiles aimed at Rafi and Murid bases were successfully intercepted but one missile managed to hit the Nurcon air base and explosions were reportedly heard in Raal Pindi. So far, India has not issued any official statement regarding the incident.
In response, Pakistan launched a retaliatory operation named Operation Bina Al- Marcus during which a large number of surfaceto-surface missiles including the Fatewan were fired at Indian targets. The visuals are being shown here. Pakistan claims it successfully targeted the storage section of India's BRAMOS missile system and released video footage as proof.
In the visuals, you can see some missiles being intercepted by Indian air defenses while others appear to have successfully struck their targets. This is being supported by video evidence and a related news article from the Eurasian Times is also available. However, Indian officials have not yet confirmed the reported attack on Pakistan.
A major development has taken place. Pakistan is now officially claiming that it has successfully destroyed India's S400 air defense system using hypersonic missiles launched from a JF17 Thunder. This announcement was made by Pakistan's deputy prime minister and foreign minister Ishach Dar.
Now keep one thing in mind. When a country's foreign minister gives a statement or holds a press briefing, the chances of it being false are usually low because the foreign minister is the official representative of the country on the global stage. If they lie, it can damage the country's credibility and invite international mockery.
As I mentioned yesterday, when India's foreign secretary Vikram was asked about Pakistan's claim of shooting down five Indian fighter jets, his response was, "A proper reply will be given at the right time. " That was a diplomatic but non-denial statement. and friends so far Pakistan's claim that it has destroyed India's fighter jets and S400 has not been denied by any Indian official for example India's foreign secretary Vikram Misri has not issued any statement regarding this friends I am currently sharing the India Pakistan conflict with you based on evidence and detailed research I have not relied on articles from either Indian or Pakistani news channels all the news I've shared has come from international sources for example When Pakistan initially claimed that it had shot down five Indian fighter jets, I didn't immediately believe it.
I waited until proper evidence emerged before making any video on it because I didn't trust local media reports, especially the idea that a J10C could shoot down an advanced fighter jet like the Rafale. But when solid proof came forward, I had to accept that Pakistan was telling the truth. There is also evidence of cyber warfare where Pakistan has hacked several Indian websites.
I have personally verified the names of these websites and you can verify them yourself as well. One of them is the official website of the BJP which is the ruling political party in India. You can confirm this yourself by searching on Google.
Now let's talk about the S400 system and whether it was actually destroyed. First understand that only two countries in the world, China and Russia currently possess hypersonic missile technology. China has reportedly provided Pakistan with air launched hypersonic missiles.
One such missile is the CM400 AKG which Pakistan launches from its JF17 Thunder fighter jets. As many of you know, hypersonic missiles are extremely difficult to detect or intercept due to their speed and maneuverability. Now take a look at this news article from Bulgarian Military News which reports that China has shared critical information about the S400 system with Pakistan.
As many of you know, China also acquired the S400 system from Russia and later reverse engineered it to develop the HQ9B which Pakistan now operates as its primary longrange air defense system. One more piece of evidence is that a Chinese professor stated in an interview with Indian media that China has strategic interests in Pakistan and will protect Pakistan at all costs. We are already seeing proof of that through China's modern equipment being used against India.
For example, the JF17 Thunder, which was jointly developed by China and Pakistan, is now reportedly equipped with a hypersonic missile provided by China. So based on all this, it's reasonable to believe that the S400 has suffered at least some damage. Friends, I recently had a conversation with a military official about how air defense systems, especially their radars, are detected and how their locations are identified.
There are several techniques used to detect air defense radars and determine where they are operating from. The first technique is radar emission detection. This involves the use of electronic warfare aircraft such as China's Y8W.
These specialized aircraft can detect radar waves and analyze their frequency, pulse repetition rate, and estimate their location based on signal intelligence. The second method is satellite surveillance. Modern military reconnaissance satellites are capable of detecting groundbased radar systems using infrared and radar imaging.
This allows them to track the radar's position and operating patterns. The third technique is aircraft-based reconnaissance. Pakistan is actually the fourth country in the world after the US, China, and Russia to operate 13 Awax aircraft while India has only three.
I've already discussed in a previous video how Pakistan maintains an advantage despite India possessing more modern fighter jets. You can check that out for a research-based explanation. These Awax aircraft such as Pakistan's ZDK03 Kakorum Eagle fly near borders and gather electronic fingerprints of enemy air defense radars.
In addition to manned aircraft, high alitude drones are also used for such missions. Currently, there are only two drones in the world capable of operating at high altitudes. The US-made RQ4 Global Hawk and Turkeykey's Akini, which Pakistan also operates.
To explain it in simple words, when a radar is active, it sends out waves. These waves can be detected by special aircraft, drones, or satellites. Based on these signals, experts can estimate the radar's location, type, and coverage area.
Most of the time this process is done quietly without alerting the radar system. One important point is that these radar waves alone don't always reveal exactly which air defense system they belong to. Because India has multiple systems like the S400, Akash and Barack 8.
This is where China's support could have helped. Since China also operates the S400, it might know the specific signal pattern of the S400 radar. If you can identify the unique wave and trace where it's coming from, you can figure out if it's from an S400.
It's possible that China shared this technical data with Pakistan. Friends, for now, the evidence and available proof is what I have shared with you. Make sure to share your opinion in the comments and let me know how you found this research-based analysis.
That's all for today's update.
