No surprise Pakistan sounded for ceasefire’: Air war historian Tom Cooper says conflict 'clear-cut victory' for India​

The remarks come two days after India and Pakistan announced halting of military action from both sides, following the Indian DGMO being approached his Pakistani counterpart amid the intensifying conflict between the two nuclear-powered countries.​

Austrian military historian and combat aviation analyst Tom Cooper has termed India’s recent aerial offensive against Pakistan a “clear-cut victory,” stating that the lack of a Pakistani retaliatory capability and the targeting of strategic military sites—including nuclear weapons storage facilities—decisively tilted the outcome in India’s favour.​

Cooper, considered one of the most respected experts on air warfare globally, commented: “When one side is bombing nuclear weapons storage facilities of the other, and the other has no ability to retaliate left, then that's a clear-cut victory in my books. No surprise Islamabad 'sounded' for a ceasefire.”

The remarks come two days after India and Pakistan announced halting of military action from both sides, following the Indian DGMO being approached his Pakistani counterpart amid the intensifying conflict between the two nuclear-powered countries.

While Pakistani has been claiming the ceasefire as its victory, US President Donald Trump has been quick to credit for the same. However, Cooper’s assessment presents a contrasting picture of the military engagement that preceded the truce.

While Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has hailed the ceasefire as a diplomatic and military success, attributing it to national unity and armed forces’ valour, Cooper’s remarks provide an alternative view, suggesting that the ceasefire was prompted by a military disadvantage rather than strategic parity.

Tom Cooper has authored several authoritative books and analyses on aerial warfare in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. His opinions are widely followed by military observers and policymakers.

​

In the context of South Asia’s complex military dynamics, Cooper’s analysis may influence global perception of the recent conflict, particularly as India positions itself as a capable and measured military power in the region.

The Indian Armed Forces, in their press briefings, have shown several visual evidences of its strikes causing massive damage to the terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, and then to several air bases of Pakistan in retaliatory actions.

Tim coock puts total Pakistani jets destroyed figure to 21 which includes jets destroyed in hangers as well.

Its probably a lot more other things destroyed as well, which are all hushed up.

I understand why its hushed up cuz if its not then the US defense industry will totally lose customers.

How in da hell can you sell the Arrow-3 or Pac-2 or THAAD or David Sling to Japan or to Korea or to Taiwan or to Germany, Poland or UK? When the Iranis fukking demolished all of them easily?

How now will you be able to market it?

Only lower IQ muzlim outfits will buy these now like Pakistan, Indonesia or AL-Tukiya, AL-Egypt or Sawdi Judea no? perhaps on a discount no? because these are stupid countries with low IQ people no?

Islam is done!

I have told many of the poster here and old PDF that no need to discuss theology of religion to how that religion/ ideology is. Look the people who follow that
If that brings peace and prosperity to society, it is true religion and not otherwise. None of the Muslim country is democracy, none have peace (Except those who maintains peace by beheading), none has equal right, there is no Muslim nation not involved in violence even against Muslims. All are piece of *&*&*&*&. I don't agree with China on most of the things except when they say that Islam is a mental disease. We as Indian need to learn from China so far as handling Muslims is concerned. The sad part is that BJP also keep sucking their private parts though they don't vote for them.

BJP has done something to piss off the US big time recently, so this is a good thing.

US say aap ko Kuchh nahi milna bhai…..just look at Pakistan or turkiya or Egypt or Jordan…..these countries can disappear overnight the moment trump removes his support.

They’ll all be gone in a week!
