Deep Intel on the India-Pakistan Air War
BREAKING: May 23, 2025
Recent skirmishes between the Indian and Pakistani air forces revealed insights into contemporary air combat. This unprecedented clash saw sophisticated Chinese-backed Pakistani hardware take center stage, challenging previously assumptions about air warfare and China’s military technology.
Military reporter and analyst Ali Chishti joins Mooch from Islamabad, Pakistan to go in-depth on the massive air war between Pakistan and India that took place on May 7, 2025.
This face-off unfolded across a 300-mile radius, marking a significant escalation in Indo-Pakistan conflicts. The Pakistani Air Force mobilized 42 high-tech aircraft against what were initially 60 Indian fighters, later swelling to 72 due to additional scrambles.
Critical to the Pakistani defense was the successful deployment of the JF-17 Thunder, leveraging China's CM-400 hypersonic missiles, reportedly incapacitating two Indian S-400 air defense systems. India, historically boasting superior technology, found itself unexpectedly disadvantaged against Pakistan's strategic application of Chinese-sourced arsenal.
