Air Commander's Log: 96 Hours That Rewrote South Asia’s Sky Rules


Entry 001 – May 6, 2025 – 03:14 AM
Debrief complete. Gilgit hit. Civilian structure, no prior threat assessment. Second impact near Muzaffarabad — confirmed Israeli-origin Harop drone.
The Prime Minister wants restraint. The Chief of Air Staff demands clarity.
We begin analysis.
This is no isolated incident. This is doctrine warfare. And they want us to blink first.
Entry 002 – May 6, 2025 – 11:05 AM
ISPR is silent publicly. Behind doors, not a soul is sleeping.
We’ve identified three drone ingress vectors. Signal relay points indicate Israeli collaboration — Harop variant matched. Tailfin fragments recovered. Forensics underway.
Intel confirms India’s op wasn’t surgical. It was symbolic.
But in doctrine, symbolism loses to substance.
Entry 003 – May 7, 2025 – 08:47 PM
Civilian burial in Gilgit today. UNHCR present. One child’s toy retrieved from the debris. Covered in ash.
Satellite trace paths complete. Six probable drone nests within IAF proximity. One aligned with previous Balakot strike path.
Approval request: Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos — in motion.
Entry 004 – May 8, 2025 – 10:01 AM
ISPR drafts briefing: no retaliation. Yet.
Instead, we prep:
Burraq-II interceptors at northern command
EW jammers deployed near Neelum Valley
Cyber-warfare team traces drone uplink via Israeli mesh
Command decision: we strike only when data becomes truth.
Entry 005 – May 9, 2025 – 04:35 AM
First drone wave neutralized.
Six inbound objects. Four dropped before LOC. Two intercepted mid-flight. One drone still buzzing at low altitude before jamming failed its targeting matrix.
Confirmed: civilian area spared.
Our wall held.
Entry 006 – May 9, 2025 – 11:40 AM
PAF mission launched — daylight strike.
Target grid: Poonch sector.
Assets hit: drone relay shelter, surface-to-air radar site. No civilian damage.
Live geotags shared with foreign media. ISPR to declassify footage.
Entry 007 – May 10, 2025 – 03:22 PM
Indian media: full denial mode. Recycled footage. Narratives collapsing.
Our teams release:
Drone fragments with Hebrew tags
Satellite overlays from Chinese partners
Witness statements, timestamped
Global media shifts tone. “Pakistan shows restraint, proof, and precision.”
We didn’t just fight an air battle.
We fought a narrative war — and won both.
Final Entry – May 11, 2025 – 12:08 AM
Post-op audit complete.
India’s gamble — a high-risk, optics-first drone strike — failed.
Our doctrine stood. Our skies held. Our silence roared louder than their fire.
Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos will be remembered.
Not as a war.
But as a wall.
If this made you feel something, don’t scroll — share.
They count on your silence. Let your share be your voice.
