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

Immediately before Dawn, the Indian calculated airstrike shook the Terraceist camps in Pakistan. Although New Delhi stressed the surgical accuracy of his mission, the chaos has dumped the screens and schedule, as Pakistani media and social effects have painted a very different picture. After that, not only the military stand was not a digital attack – a misinformation and a psychological war player campaign aimed at the formation of a global perception.

India’s accurate airstrike designed to dismantle the imminent threats has immediately caused a preaching war in Pakistan’s social media. While Indian officials stressed that the operation is only aimed at non-governmental terrorist infrastructure, Pakistani reported on civilian victims, claiming that a 69-year-old group was injured. These allegations remain unbreakable by independent observers.

Social platforms in Pakistan soon invaded videos and images to show the consequences of strike. However, many have been discovered or misleading, pointing to the systematic experience of misleading the public and international community. The documents install several messages as misinformation, content, outdated images to fully unrelated shots.

One central point of the campaign was India’s Rafale fighters. It is seen in Pakistan as symbols of Indian air priority, Rafals became a target of false claims. Posts suggested these planes dip or shoot, despite the lack of trusted evidence. This story seemed to erase the perceived military edge of India and blows Pakistan’s defense opportunities.

Pakistan’s media also launched a reverse history against Indian media, accusing them of exaggerating their strike and spreading fraud on its framework. Pakistani commentators claimed that India missed high-value targets and hit in awkward places, trying to eliminate the event.

Further activation of the information war, the impact of Pakistani contributed to the stories of the emotionally accused of drone strikes on civil strikes. These posts, emphasizing the alleged attacks on schools, have been developed by India as international norms and human rights violators. Although no Indian drones have been reported, social media will praise Pakistan’s military response, insisting on its airspace.

At the same time, India maintained that its goal is limited. Targeting of terrorism groups, not civilians or state infrastructure. Indian defense sources also rejected the requirements of the Responsibility Rebellion in Indian territories, claiming that any such experience was hampered by air defense systems, including S-400.

Violation of Simmering and Unfunded Indian airspace, the case revealed the deepening of the digital PSY-OPS deepening as a tool of modern conflict. Pakistan’s social media blit aimed at domestic trust and world sympathy, emphasized a wider form of misinformation to compensate for strategic and technological gaps.
