In just over an hour, the Indian Air Force lost 12 F-35AIs, and those two HQ-9Bs were intact, and Pakistan's strategic facilities were not bombed.

It's a big fuss.

Regardless of whether the Indian Air Force is convinced or not, the first thing to do is to withdraw the troops.

However, the Pakistan Air Force did not stop there.

After the withdrawal of the Indian Air Force, the Pakistani Air Force began to focus on bombing the Indian forces near Jalandar and again in the second half of the night.

As a result, from 10 p.m. to early the next morning, the Pakistan Air Force was singing a one-man show.

Does this war still need to be fought?

Early the next morning, the Pakistani authorities announced the results of the previous night's battle, claiming that they had intercepted 20 F-35AI fighter jets near Fort *** and shot down at least 12 of them.

This time, Pakistan's war report did not have the slightest moisture.

To add to the convincing, Pakistani authorities have also released photos of the wreckage of at least seven F-35AI fighter jets, with even the fuselage numbers clearly visible.

Since then, Pakistan has released photos of the wreckage of five more F-35AI fighter jets.

Although the Indian Air Force denied it in every possible way, claiming that it had not lost a single F-35AI, in the face of the facts, no one believed the Indian Air Force's nonsense.

Interestingly, immediately after Pakistan released the war report, the US authorities contacted the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs and offered to ask the Pakistani authorities to return the wreckage of the F-35 AI fighter, which means that the fighter has the core technology of the United States, while Pakistan refused to hand over the wreckage of the fighter to the United States on the grounds that the fighter belonged to India and was shot down during the invasion of Pakistani airspace.

Shortly thereafter, the wreckage of at least five F-35AIs went missing.

As for where they went, everyone knew it.

This battle, shattered the myth of the F-35A.

Actual combat has proved that the F-35A is only a fighter that has crossed the threshold of the fifth generation aircraft, and it is far from being an excellent fighter.

Actually, the problem is not with the F-35A, but with the Air Force that uses it.

In the combat system of the US military, the F-35A is indeed of high value.

Why?

When the F-35A is carrying out strike missions, the F-22A is responsible for seizing air supremacy in the air, and there are early warning aircraft and electronic reconnaissance planes in the rear to provide intelligence support, and the EA-18G is attacking the enemy's air defense system, and if necessary, it can even be supported by cruise missiles launched by strategic bombers.

It can be seen that in the combat system of the US military, the F-35A does not undertake the most dangerous mission.

Normally, the U.S. military uses cruise missiles against the most dangerous targets.

By the time the F-35A debuts, it will have to face only field air defense systems at most, not theater air defense systems like the HQ-9B.

In addition, a powerful intelligence and support system can maximize the F-35A's battlefield perception capabilities.

From this point of view, as a kind of fighter of the US military, the F-35A can be regarded as excellent.

The question is, what about in other air forces?

Obviously, this is not necessarily the case.

In the Indian Air Force, the F-35AI is used as a workhorse fighter, with too many missions to take on and too little support.

In fact, India does not have a combat system like the US military.

As a result, the F-35AI's powerful battlefield perception capabilities are not used at all, but have become a burden that cannot be shaken off.

The F-35AI, which fights alone, is obviously powerless in the face of an opponent with a well-developed combat system.

It can be seen that for other than the United States, or other allies who can cooperate with the US military, the F-35A is not an excellent, not even qualified fighter.

Establish a combat system like the U.S. military?

Obviously overthinking.

For a country like India, it is simply impossible to establish a combat system in the true sense of the word.

Why?

The Indian Air Force's fighter jets come from three countries and have three completely different systems, and these three systems are simply impossible to integrate.

If we look a little deeper, India has always regarded arms procurement as a political and diplomatic bargaining chip, so it is impossible to focus on a certain system, and naturally it is impossible to concentrate on building a complete combat system, and what it has obtained is only Lego bricks put together with some advanced gadgets.

Can this patchwork build a skyscraper?

The question is, will India be able to build a complete combat system?

Again, the answer is no.

At the political level, it is simply impossible for India, which has been vacillating left and right, to do so, and the Indian authorities do not have the courage to do so.

All American fighter jets?

What does Russia think?

All Russian fighters?

What does France think?

In fact, there is only one way out, that is, to establish your own complete industrial system, start from the basics, and then build your own national defense system step by step.

Obviously, this is the path taken by Huaxia.

What about India?

In terms of the size of the country, India can take this path.

Unfortunately, it can't be done either.

Why?

India's political system dictates that any Indian government must adopt a strategy of quick success in order to win the favor of its constituents, and as a result, India will never be able to put its money where it needs to be, let alone spend decades laying the foundations for the country.

In the words of the outside world, how can a country that can't even repair toilets be qualified to talk about industrialization?

Spend decades on construction, and it is construction that does not see much effect?

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible in India, and it can even be said to be a big joke.

It can be seen that it is this kind of defect at the basic level that makes the Indian Air Force have a huge size, and also makes the advanced fighters of the Indian Air Force all look like goods.

Can you fight the world with a few advanced weapons?

To be honest, that era ended more than a hundred years ago.

A country that has an advantage in the combat capability of the system, even if it does not have many advanced weapons and equipment, can often seize the opportunity, seize the initiative in the war, defeat an opponent who is stronger than itself, and win the final victory.

Didn't the Indian military recognize the problem?

What if you realize it?

In any case, this battle has proven that India's strength is only superficial, and the actual war power is not even comparable to Pakistan's.

Of course, this battle also proves that a weak country, as long as it chooses the right direction, can still build a strong enough national defense force.

From another point of view, this is also a direct demonstration of Pakistan's achievements in national defense construction in the past decade.

In the aftermath of this battle, no one in the Pakistani military, government officials, or the public will doubt the correctness of military construction.

As for how the outside world perceives this battle, it is clearly not a question for the Pakistani authorities to consider.
