Noise is not necessary for all successes. Just accuracy. and endurance. That was demonstrated during Operation Sindoor. The indian air Force executed one of the most lyrical military ploys in modern history somewhere over hostile skies. pakistan believed it had struck a Rafale. They fired missiles.
The festivities had begun. However, it was not a jet that dropped. Something else was involved. Something more modest. Something more intelligent. A gadget. Roughly thirty kilos. Connected by a nearly 100-meter fiber-optic cable to the belly of a Rafale. It's always hanging. following at all times. They refer to it as X-GUARD.
Latkan baba is another name for it among the indian air Force.
The signal had been locked onto by Pakistan's air command. It had been detected by their radars as an approaching fighter. They tricked the system. The missiles were, too. It was the X-Guard's job. mimicking velocity. imitating motion. replicating an actual aircraft's radar footprint. The trick was done.
It was a decoy that was destroyed. The genuine Rafale came back safely. Furthermore, deep within Pakistani territory, its payload had already completed its mission.
No formal indian statement had been made. However, television hosts, generals, and ministers in pakistan had already proclaimed a resounding success. They claimed to have shot down a Rafale. However, there was no evidence. It is never the case that you have just struck a ghost.
The achievement can be attributed to Israeli engineering. One of Israel's leading weapons companies, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, created the X-Guard. The technology was developed for electronic combat. to deceive. to conceal. to interfere with the thoughts and equipment of any adversary who is brave enough to shoot first.
The X-Guard is a living, thinking being. It produces a convincing illusion by using AI to run its answers. It imitates a genuine jet's signature. Radars use it to create the same Doppler echo. It travels similarly to a pilot. It reacts in a menacing manner. It also perishes like bait.
Pakistan was not the only nation observing Operation Sindoor. China has eyes in the skies as well. Its J-10C domestic radar systems were integrated into Pakistan's defense system.
Chinese-made missiles, too. The PL-15E is a sleek, high-tech, long-range killer. locked up. started. Missed.
Indian jets had been tracked by that same Chinese equipment. They had fulfilled their duty. Or so they believed. The targets were located. They had fired missiles. However, they never struck a Rafale. They struck the decoy. Baba Latkan.
The victory has been privately praised by indian defense specialists. However, it wasn't only them. Ryan Bodenheimer, a former F-16 pilot in the U.S. air Force, offered his perspective. He claimed to have never witnessed such a move in electronic warfare. He referred to the indian AI-decoy operation as a watershed. "It was brilliantly executed," he stated. that pakistan didn't anticipate it.
Bodenheimer stated that the protection of a single aircraft was not the main goal. This involved employing decoys so successfully that the actual combatants were able to pass through the enemy's air defense system like wind through a net. Jets from india flew in. Strike targets in the military. flew away. Not hurt. The systems in pakistan have been headed in the wrong direction.
The action is now a standard illustration of what warfare in the twenty-first century looks like. A silent weapon. No shooting. Data and deceit only. The actual work had already been completed, even though the adversaries were firing with delight.
They had been outwitted by India. Silently. With style. Furthermore, the real winner had already made it home unscathed, as pakistan rejoiced for what it believed to be a kill.
