‘Rafale jets, drone myths, civilian casualty claims’: How Pakistan fuelled a propaganda offensive with digital psy-ops

Immediately before dawn, the Indian air strike rocked terrorist camps inside Pakistani territory. While New Delhi emphasized the surgical accuracy of its mission, across the border, the chaos on the screens and timelines, as the Pakistani media and social influencers drew a completely different image. This was not just a military confrontation, but a digital attack – a vibrant campaign of misleading information and psychological war that aims to form global awareness.

The drought raid in India, which aims to dismantle the imminent terrorist threats, ignited the immediate propaganda war on Pakistani social media. While Indian officials confirmed that the operation only targeted the terrorist infrastructure other than countries, accusing Pakistani reports of India of civil losses, claiming that a 15 -year -old girl died and 29 others were injured when a school area was injured. These assurances are still not shown by independent observers.

Soon the social platforms in Pakistan were immersed with videos and images that they claim to show the effects of the strike. However, many recycled or misleading were found, pointing to a coordinated attempt to mislead the public and international community. Berman has informed many posts as wrong information, with content ranging from old images to completely unrelated shots.

One of the central points of the campaign was the fighter planes in India. It is seen in Pakistan as symbols of Indian air superiority, and Rafales has become targets for wrong demands. The participants suggested that these planes were intercepted or dropped, although there is no reliable evidence. This novel is apparently designed to erode the military edge of India and inflate the defense capabilities of Pakistan.

The Pakistani media has also launched an anti -Indian news product, accusing them of exaggerating the success of the strike and spreading lies about its scope. Pakistani commentators insisted that India had missed high -value goals and hit unimportant sites, in an attempt to reformulate the event as a failed propaganda trick from New Delhi.

Increasing the intensification of the information war, the influencers in Pakistan promoted drone strikes on civilian areas. These jobs, which stress alleged attacks on schools, are designed to frame India as a violation of international standards and human rights. Although no Indian drone was reported, social media leaflets glorify the military response to Pakistan, claiming full control over the airspace.

At the same time, India has confirmed that its goal is limited: targeting terrorist groups, not civilians or infrastructure. Indian defense sources also rejected the Pakistani allegations that have not been verified by reprisals to the Indian lands, stressing that any attempts have been thwarted through air defense systems, including S-400.

With the tensions that boil and do not penetrate the Indian air field, the incident revealed the deliberate dependence on digital Psychly as a tool for modern conflict. Blitz, in Pakistan, which aims at local reassurance and global sympathy, stressed a broader pattern of using wrong information to compensate for strategic and technological gaps.
