This is operation Synindor where India strikes nine sites in Pakistan in response to what it claims was a Pakistan sponsored massacre in Bahalgam that killed 26 tourists. To avenge this incident, India reportedly used a mix of advanced weaponry, including the French-made scout missile, also known as Storm Shadow, and the Hammer, a precisiong guided freefall bomb. But here's the twist. Pakistan claims it shot down five Indian jets with more details all in the video ahead. We'll now look at the detailed timeline of how the operation unfolded. Beginning with the launch of India's fighter jets, including the French-made Rafael. At around 1:28 in the morning, India initiated precision missile strikes on nine high-value targets located in Pakistan or Pakistan occupied Kashmir. These targets reportedly included key locations such as Baja Walper, the headquarters of Jes Mohammed, Murick known to house Lashkaret Tama facilities as well as Terracallen, Salcott, Pimber, Kotley and Musafurabad. The Indian Air Force deployed Rafal jets armed with scalp cruise missiles and hammer precisiong guided bombs. The entire aerial operation lasted approximately 23 minutes conducted with high coordination and speed. Between 1:28 and 1:51 a.m., loud explosions were reported across several cities with power outages occurring in Baja and Musa Farbad, adding to the chaos and confusion on the ground. The strike was believed to have originated primarily from Ambala Air Force Station in Harana, one of Indian Air Force main Rafale bases. At approximately 2:00 in the morning, a formation of Raphal fighter jets equipped with storm shadow air launch cruise missiles took off from possibly Ambala under radio silence. The Raphael with its long range and stealth friendly profile ascended to high altitude and maintain an oblique flight path toward the international border, skirting radar coverage while staying within Indian airspace. At around 100 to 120 km from the Indopac border, the ESCAL missiles were launched toward pre-programmed coordinates inside Pakistan's interior, reportedly targeting infrastructure tied to crossber terror logistics. Given the scalp range of over 500 km, the French Rafal did not need to enter Pakistani airspace and the missile likely traveled at low altitudes using terrain hung guidance to evade enemy radar before striking with high accuracy. Simultaneously, a secondary wave of Rafel aircraft armed with hammer, highly agile modular munition extended range bombs was deployed for tactical strikes on forward positions near the line of control. These jets, possibly taking off from Ambala as well or forward operating strips in Jammu, launched the hammer bombs from a standoff range of approximately 50 to 70 kilometers, targeting bunkers and movement corridors near areas like Cotley and Bimber. These precision bombs are capable of penetrating hardened shelters and were likely used to neutralize fortified shelters believed to house milan operatives or weapons catches. At roughly the same time, Sukoy Sue30 fighter aircraft were launched from Virelli Air Force Station. They might be carrying air launch variants of the BRAMOS supersonic cruise missile. The Sukcoy Sue30 followed a different trajectory, sweeping further south and west before launching BRAMOS missiles aimed at key logistical nodes including suspected weapons dumps and radar installations supporting asymmetric warfare. The Brahmos flying at speeds over Mach 2.8 8 reduced enemy reaction time drastically, hitting targets that lay up to 400 to 500 km inside Pakistani territory. With the Sue30 extended range, the aircraft could complete the mission and return without crossing hostile airspace. In support of these air missions, a network of loitering drones, possibly indigenous Alfas or Israeli Sky Striker units, was deployed from mobile forward launchers near Ridge and Punch. These unmanned systems were launched hours earlier and had been circling their assigned target areas. Once real-time signals confirmed enemy movement or leadership presence, these kamicaz drones dove on their targets, causing localized but critical damage, particularly to mobile radio stations and a command vehicle convoy reportedly in route to a hardened shelter. Unconfirmed reports emerging from the region suggest that Pakistan mounted a swift and forceful response following a recent escalation allegedly resulting in the downing of five Indian aircraft. According to statements attributed to Pakistani military officials, the assets targeted included three DAL Rafale fighter jets, a Sukquai Sue30, a McCoyan M29 and an Israeli made her drone. But before we move ahead, let's take a look at how this French-made scout missile works. Storm Shadow missiles can be launched from the Dissult Rafal, the Euro Fighter Typhoon, and most recently the MiG 29 or the Sue27 jets as shown here in the animations. It is a lowobservable air launch cruise missile. Interestingly, the development of the Storm Shadow missile is also known as Scalp EG in France. Comparing this to a person will help you understand its size. Even better, let's compare this to the American cruise missile or the Russian missile. For now, we will look at the steps bysteps format of how this works. Aircraft releases the missile. After a few seconds, the missile opens its two wings. It first uses inertial and GPS for guidance. at the first stage of the missile drops to low cruising altitude and identifies its position using GPS just like the animation shown here. As you can see, it flies below the radar and close to the hills and ground. This is why the Pakistan Army radar could not detect the storm shadow missile. At the final stage, a thermal homing head and a terrain contour matching are used to guide the missiles. This is how it works. It uses the IR sensor imaging infrared seeker to track and process images helping it glide to its target. It climbs to a higher altitude. This helps the command and control to even monitor the target in the dark using a two-way data link. For the final maneuver of the nose cone is jettisoned to allow a highresolution thermographic camera or infrared homing to observe the target area. The missile then tries to locate its target based on its pre-loaded data information. If all is approved, it then dives to destroy the target. But let's take a look at how all this started. According to India, Adil Ahmed Thera who had returned from Pakistan played a key role in guiding the group. Thoker and his associates had crossed into India from Pakistan occupied Kashmir through the rugged and remote Pontrajuri sector of the line of control back in October 2024. This sector known for its difficult terrain has historically been exploited for illegal crossings. After infiltrating, the group moved covertly through the forested and mountainous routes of Jammu and Kashmir. They carefully avoided detection by sticking to interior tracks and hilly belts, eventually making their way to Anantnag and finally to Pahalam. The attackers emerged from the dense pine forests surrounding Bazeran Meadow. Beloved tourist destination and launch their assault, opening fire on the unsuspecting tourists gathered there. Let's look at the detailed timeline of the attack and how the horror unfolds. At around 2:25, survivors reported hearing the first bursts of gunfire while tourists were picnicking or preparing to leave. A brief eerie silence followed, sewing confusion and fear among the visitors. By 245, armed militants in camouflage clothing emerged from the nearby forest and began firing indiscriminately into the crowd. Witnesses described how the attackers sometimes singled out men, asking if they were Muslims before deciding whether to shoot. Many tourists scrambled for cover, hiding behind fences, sliding down muddy slopes, or diving into pits to avoid the gunfire. The shooting continued relentlessly for about 30 minutes. By 3:00 in the evening, the attackers were targeting tourists attempting to escape near the few available exit points. In the brutal attack, at least 26 people were killed, including a Navy officer on his honeymoon and a former banker. At around 3:40 p.m., Indian Army helicopters arrived overhead, signaling the beginning of a large-scale evacuation operation. Special forces swiftly secured the area by 4:00 p.m., escorting the stunned and terrified survivors to safety. In the chaos that followed, the terrorists managed to vanish once again into the surrounding dense forest before security forces could engage them. Eyewitnesses and investigators later reported that the attackers used the forest cover to facilitate their escape, taking full advantage of the rugged topography and natural camouflage offered by the terrain. To further evade tracking, the group reportedly discarded stolen mobile phones during their retreat. As of the latest updates, the terrorists remain at large with a massive manhunt underway across the forests and hills around Pahalim and Anatnag. This is how Pakistan might respond if India attacks continue for the next couple of months. For now, both sides seem determined to avoid the unthinkable, the use of nuclear weapons. But neither seemed willing to back down from full-scale conventional war. Pakistan, knowing its military and economy were dwarfed by India's, understood that time was not on its side. Their generals agreed that if war must come, they had to be fast and brutal. Pakistan's strategy would be simple. Strike hard, strike early, seize territory, and force the world to intervene before India could bring its overwhelming strength to bear.

They decided to turn India's cold start doctrine which envisioned lightningast thrusts into enemy territory into a kind of desperate offensive of their own. This is how it will strike. Just a reminder, Pakistan also have American F-16 fighter jets, but they cannot be used against India according to an agreement. So instead, they have these Chinese J17 jets to make the first attack. Before dawn on the first day, Pakistani jet will roar across the border, aiming to India's frontline air bases in Punjab, Rajasthan, and Jamu. Their missiles scream down onto radar stations, command hubs, and airfields, seeking to blind Indian defenses and soften the ground for what would come next. Pakistan will then deploy the main battle tank, the Khalid, along with several support vehicles. They will move from the Lahore Sealcat corridor, Pakistan's elite armored divisions thundered will into Indian Punjab. Their immediate objective is clear. Seize Amirsar and the surrounding districts before India could react. Holding Indian territory would give Pakistan powerful leverage in negotiations later, provided they could hold on to it. At the same time, across the rugged mountains of Kashmir, Pakistani special forces, irregular fighters and seasoned infiltrators pushed across the line of control. Their mission was even more ambitious. As sever the vital Jam Shernagar Highway and isolate the Kashmir Valley from the rest of India. Farther south, Indian forces surged into Pakistan's Sin province, racing towards Hyderabbad and Karachi, hoping to draw Indian reserves away from the real action. Meanwhile, at sea, Pakistan's navy knew it was badly outmatched against a massive Indian Navy submarine and carriers. Rather than risking a head-on battle, they sent their submarines into the dark waters of the Arabian Sea to lay deadly minefields near Mumbai and Gujarat's coastline. Their job was not to defeat India's navy but to disrupt, delay and force India to divert precious resources. Now let's look at how India cold start military doctrine works. Involves the various branches of India's military conducting offensive operations as part of a unified battle groups. Even as Pakistani tanks cross the frontier, the Indian air force much larger and more powerful than Pakistan's was already executing its own battle plan. They had the cuttingedge Rafale fighters alongside the tried and tested Mig21s and the formidable Sukcoy Sue30. Within minutes, these aircraft would meet Pakistan's advancing armored columns head-on, diving into the battlefield like hawks. Waves of fighter bombers shielded by electronic jammers and escorted by interceptors plunged deep into Pakistani airspace. Their targets were carefully chosen. air defense networks, radar stations, and key military hubs in cities like Lahore, Sarot, and Malta. The mission was brutal in its clarity, paralyzed Pakistan's ability to command and control its forces, strip away its defenses, and leave its military exposed to the full fury of India's advancing war machine. As Indian jets shredded the skies above India's ground forces, the powerful Strike Corps began their thunderous advance toward the border. They brought with them the fearsome Russian-made T90 tanks, India's own Arjun tanks, and an endless stream of armored vehicles that turned the earth beneath them into a trembling plane. Their tanks and mechanized infantry smashed through Pakistani defenses with cold, relentless precision. Within just 48 hours, Indian units were at the gates of Lahore. They bypassed strong points, choosing instead to encircle the city, cutting off from reinforcement and supply. Every mile gained on Pakistani soil brought with it an ever growing risk of escalation. But India's generals knew time was their enemy. They pressed forward, determined to achieve a decisive victory before the international community could impose a ceasefire. Farther south, Indian forces surged into Pakistan's Sam province, racing towards Hderabbad and Karachi. Their objective was clear to sever Pakistan's southern arteries, cutting off Karachi, the beating heart of Pakistan's economy from the rest of the country. Meanwhile, in Kashmir, Indian forces fought with brutal determination to repel Pakistani infiltrators. Yet, they avoided a deep counteroffensive across the line of control, wary that any major territorial gains could provoke Pakistan into crossing its nuclear threshold. At sea, India's navy moved with ruthless efficiency. Carrier battle groups steamed into position off the Pakistani coast, imposing a tight blockade around Karachi. Ramos missiles rained down on Pakistan's port facilities and vital energy infrastructure. Even Guad, Pakistan's prized port built with immense Chinese investment, found itself under attack as Indian warships ruled the Arabian Sea with almost complete impunity. During the first furious week of war, both nations suffered grievous losses. The front lines were fluid, the battles fierce. But it quickly became clear that India's greater weight, its larger military, its deeper reserves, its greater industrial power was beginning to tip the balance. Inside Pakistan's high command as Lahore teetered on the edge of encirclement and Karachi face strangulation, whispers of the darkest possibilities began to surface. Tactical nuclear weapons, the last terrible card in Pakistan's hand, loomed closer to reality. We make original 4K 3D animation with a small team of animators.
