Not to be pedantic but the goal is to un-flatten runways during war not flatten them.

For those of you without many Indian contacts, I just want to say I’ve never seen anything like India COVID Twitter over the last few days. Countless people struggling to find help, and turning to social media because regular channels aren’t working. My heart goes out to them.

We have three big theories for the India-US breakdown: 1) US really is bothered by Russian oil; 2) US really seeks access for agricultural products; 3) Trump-Modi relationship broke down over Sindoor. I’m more inclined toward (3) myself but evidence isn’t unequivocal.

Until evidence comes out to the contrary, I think it's reasonable to assume this is an IAF jet because Indian authorities have had ~5 hours to say otherwise and I don't think they'd be so tightlipped if a PAF aircraft was on the ground here.

The core reality of India’s foreign policy dilemma is this: Russia is too weak and too backward to provide India what it needs to ascend, the EU is militarily incapable and riven by its own divisions, China is too strong, and the US is erratic.

I don’t think I’m exaggerating: I honestly don’t know if an aircraft ferry flight has been this extensively covered in the history of mankind.

The IAF’s Rafales are at Al Dhafra AFB, which also houses the USAF 380th Air Expeditionary Wing’s F-15s & E-3 Sentry AWACS seen here.

I realize the Minneapolis images and Trump’s Twitter fights will occupy much discussion today but don’t sleep on the fact that Trump just made up a conversation yesterday with India’s prime minister for no particular reason.

I think I’ll start a thread of commercial satellite imagery of the aftermath of the India-Pakistan conflict. Feel free to send me things.
