In a recent attempt to showcase military success, the Indian Air Force(IAF) released new satellite imagery claiming precision strikes onPakistani military installations, including an energy facility at ShahbazAir Base.
However, independent assessments and on-ground verifications reveal adifferent picture. Contrary to IAF’s claims, there are no burn marks, nostructural damage, and no visible signs of impact at the alleged targetsite. The energy facility continues to operate normally, underminingassertions of a “direct hit.”
Defense analysts note that the discrepancies in IAF’s imagery raise seriousquestions about its credibility. “This appears to be another case ofmisrepresentation intended for domestic consumption rather than an accuratereflection of ground realities,” one observer commented.
This is not the first time such claims have come under scrutiny. Pastinstances of “strike footage” and “satellite evidence” have similarly beenexposed as misleading or unverifiable. Experts suggest that such tacticsare often used for psychological warfare and media optics, rather thandemonstrating actual battlefield achievements.
