Pakistan-India Test Match

[Kepler]

Holy f---.

125 Indian and Pakistani fighter jets battled for over an hour in one of the biggest dogfights in recent history, according to a Pakistani security source quoted by CNN.

So this is like throwing a lit match around a puddle of gasoline under an entire shelf full of fireworks isn't it?

One misstep by either side and we have the biggest conflict since Vietnam (or do we get to WWII levels right off the bat?).

I mean I have absolutely no idea how the largest dogfighting battle in recent history doesn’t qualify on its own as a major misstep, but what the fuck do I know? Buckle up.

American leadership: Walk softly and carry a big eyeliner pencil.

I thought that with modern jets, any "dogfights" would have separations between craft of hundreds of miles? Where's our resident actual jet engineer?

The “what the fuck do I know” was, maybe for the first time, not rhetorical.

Both these countries have nuclear weapons.

A misstep goes way beyond WWII levels.

Indian TV is lurid.

They seem to have reached Idiocracy before even us.

Al Jazeera Live is the only network with intelligent coverage.

Jesus, Leavitt is a moron.

It did:

India-Pakistan massive 'dogfight' shows changing shape of air warfare

The conflict shows how air combat now happens well beyond visual range and also highlights the growing role of China's influence and military power

"The use of advanced missiles and modern fighter jets has expanded the traditional notion of dogfights—once defined by close-range movements—to include long-range scenarios described as beyond-visual-range (BVR).

According to CNN, long-range missiles were exchanged at distances exceeding 100 miles. "That's close by kind of aircraft standards. In an ideal sense, you know, you still might be looking to be destroying your target at multiple hundreds of miles," Ladwig said."

This is still called dogfighting, in the modern usage of the term.

Does anyone think the very stable genius could point to either country on a map? Even if we gave him 1000 miles leeway? And labeled it...

The ceasefire between India and Pakistan was agreed to “directly” between the two countries, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said Saturday, echoing what a source on the Indian side told CNN earlier.

The statement, which was shared on social media by the Indian government, comes despite US President Donald Trump’s announcement that the ceasefire was the result of a night of US mediation.

According to the Indian statement, an agreement was reached after Pakistan’s director general of military operations initiated a phone call Saturday afternoon local time.

“The stoppage of firing and military action between India and Pakistan was worked out directly between the two countries,” reads the statement, which was shared by India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

An Indian source had previously provided the same statement to CNN.
