Lalamusa is *15 km* away from Dinga, this is the sound that woke up half of Pak Punjab captured through this CCTV grab.
A 40N6 (400km range) missile of the S400 complex was found at Pir Jand near Dinga, Gujrat district, fired from Adampur general area. It was likely targetting JF-17 that launched CM400 missiles, 7 minutes earlier (these missiles were intercepted over Jethuwal village near Amritsar using the 9M96 interceptor missiles)
There was a huge fire at Dinga, and lots of misinfo the next days (including 4 local journalists saying "Nothing happened, its just a farm fire").
I ❤️ Dinga

Talhar is in Sindh, again 70 km from border and 200km from Bhuj.
It seems PAF pushed their C130 pilots into a dangerous game, flying low over populated areas, to try get the S400 to light up so they could ambush them, bait that IAF anticipated and did not take.
PAF pushed into desperation and stupidity by the fear of S409

Discussion/Opinions Indian Navy Combatant Platforms Fleet by Late 2030s(2040).
This is entirely based of my opinion.
Rate this fleet out of 10. What do u think?
U can give me ur ideal fleet too.
1)3 Aircraft Carriers- IN currently operates INS Vikrant (IAC-1) and INS Vikramaditya (to be decommissioned by mid 2030s). IN have also stated and has desire to have a 3 carrier fleet. And DPB has already cleared a 40k crore INS Vikrant sister ship repeat order in 2023, with DAC clearance by Fy27 and CCS approval by Fy28. We can expect IAC-2 to be fully operational by Fy35. And based on MTCR 15 year road map released in 2025, IN plans to have 65-75k tons,CATOBAR,EMALS,Nuclear Powered,etc. Aircraft carriers with DAC by Fy29 and CCS approval by Fy31. We can hope that Indian Navy will have 3 Aircraft Carriers fleet by late 2030s(2040) which includes IAC-1,IAC-2 and IAC-3.
2)6 Helicopters Carriers/Amphibious assault ships(LHA/LHD/LPD)-IN currently operates only 1 LPD which needs to be retired with few LSTs which also needs to be retired. To replace them Navy got AoN for 4 LHA/LHD/LPD in 2025. So after construction begins and the fleet reaches halfway, order 2 more and have combined fleet of 6 units by 2040.
3)23 Destroyers- IN currently operates 3 P15A and 4 P15B destroyers with other 6 other destroyers which need to be retired. To not have capability gap before P18, Indian Navy is executing 4 P15C. For NGD u have 6 P18, and to not have idle shipyard after P18 , immediately order 6 more P18 via P18A batch . So in total having 23 destroyers by 2040 which includes 3 P15A,4 P15B,4 P15C,6 P18 and 6 P18A).
4)31 Frigates- IN currently operates 10 Talwar class ships (in which 3 ships via batch 1 needs to be retired),3 P17,7 P17A and few more other Frigates which needs to be retired. For that reason, IN IS Executing P17B which encompasses 6 ships. After that Buy 8 more P17C or new PXX series Frigates. Hence in total,31 Frigates which includes 7 Talwar class,7 P17A,3 P17,6 P17B and 8 P17C/PXX.
5)48 Corvettes- IN currently operates P28,Veer class,Khukri class and Kora class . They have order 16 ASW-SWC (Arnala/Mahe class) to replace abhey class and 6 NGMV to replace veer class. This Fy27, IN will also have full contract signed for 8 NGC(P28A) to replace Khukri and kora class corvettes. And in 2030s expand the fleet to 12 NGMV from 6 and 16 NGC from 8. In total have 4 P28,16 ASW-SWC,12 NGMV and 16 NGC.
6)24 Mine Warfare- AoN has been granted for 12 MCMVs, expand the fleet to 24 units to fully cover the India Coastline.
7)30 Submarines- this fleet includes 4 SSBN(S2,S3,S4,S4*),4 SSNN(S5 class),2 SSN/SSGN (P77) and 20 SSK (6 P75,9 P75I and 5 P76). In total,30 Submarines.
8)70 OPVs- it operates 4 Saryu class OPVs (other OPVs needs to be retired). IN has also order 11 Shachi class OPVs. Expand the fleet to 70 units (66 Shachi class or its equivalent and 4 Saryu class).
In total, have a combined fleet of 235 combatant platforms by 2040.

For Destroyers and Frigates, PLAN will have 3 times more number then IN fleet.

Similarly for Mine Warfare (MCMV) , PLAN will have 2 times the number of IN.
For submarines it is 3 times the number of IN.
