> Government sources called the strikes “hell fire,” citing significant damage to Pakistan’s air power. According to estimates shared by Air Marshal Bharti, nearly 20% of Pakistan’s Air Force infrastructure was degraded.
> Ammunition depots were also targeted, and key Pakistani assets such as F-16s and JF-17 fighter jets were destroyed. Among the casualties was Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf of the Pakistan Air Force.
Wait, this is describing serious, bare-knuckled war, not a border skirmish that got a little out of control. So either the article is just fantasy or ... um ... somehow, no mainstream media outlet in the West has reported on the terrible, bloody war between India and Pakistan?
