Vienna (Austria), May 16, 2025 (ANI): On recent India Pakistan conflict and Operation Sindoor, Military aviation analyst and historian Tom Cooper analyzed the points which made Pakistan unable to defend itself and left it with no other option but to ask for ceasefire. Speking to ANI, He said, "...#OperationSindoor was partly successful in regard of destroying the terror infrastructure, but highly successful in regards of significantly weakening Pakistan to the degree where it became unable to defend itself from conventional strikes of the Indian armed forces and had no ability to strike back on India and had no other option but to ceasefire." “...They, Shehbaz Sharif and Asim Munir, are the first to know the situation. They both know they have been defeated. They both know that rumours will not be sustained and the truth will soon reach the people," says Tom Cooper, Military aviation analyst and historian, when being asked about the Pakistani PM Shahbaz Sharif and Army chief Asim Munir touring a military base to address the military personnel by climbing over a tank. Tom Cooper says, "This messaging is classic for Pakistan. Essentially, we have a situation of the country and its population, which has been indoctrinated to believe in Pakistani military superiority vis-à-vis India... They climb on top of the tank, as they must rebuild the morale and self-confidence of the nation..."

00:00Saying this again and again, whatever India does, West is going to blame it for whatever Pakistan has done.
00:07So you simply can't be right.
00:11Part of the reason is that you are allied with Russia, or at least buying Russian armament.
00:20Another, of course, is that Pakistan is buying or donated US armament.
00:27And since this US armament is so precious to the Americans and they are considering it an issue of honor,
00:36whether the whole EF-16 is shut down or not.
00:41Therefore, it can't be that the enemy was shut down and India cannot be successful.
00:48I have reviewed a few of assessments and analysis of different colleagues in the West last night.
01:00And so it is quite typical to see that they were all publishing ever more about the showdown between India and Pakistan on 8th of May or 9th of May,
01:12and on the morning or 10th of May, and ever since they are all quiet.
01:17They are all busy on some other topics, so they are ignoring what has happened to Pakistan, what has India achieved.
01:23This is why I am concerned that it might take a while for the Western politics to figure out the new realities between India and Pakistan,
01:35which is Pakistan cannot defend itself, cannot defend even its nuclear storage facilities.
01:42So that is my biggest concern, that the West is going to miss an opportunity to reorganize its politics towards India and start relations new.
01:56It is a good opportunity, but it is unlikely to happen.
02:00As for reasons as I said, there is lots of ignorance in this regards, lots of bias, absolutely unsustantiated bias,
02:10even more so because the West is at least as much troubled by religiously motivated terrorism as India has been.
02:21Excuse me for opinion.
02:23So that is basically my answer to the question.
