🇮🇳🇵🇰 - Fake news over the past 24 hours over the Indo-Pak conflict, stemming mainly from Pakistan:

- A single Turkish C-130E military aircraft landed in Karachi International Airport - not a military base. The aircraft initially took off from Ankara, landing in al-Kut, Iraq, to refuel. There was one aircraft, not six.

- According to "Pakistani OSINTers" the aircraft provided Pakistan with military supplies - which is false. The aircraft was barely on the ground for 16 hours, and is now heading further east, likely towards Malaysia. The aircraft, which is currently over Indian airspace, have a max. ferry range of 3,500-3,700km. Hence its refueling stops in Iraq and an International Airport in Karachi, instead of a military base. So media claiming they 'know' what cargo was being delivered are just flat-out lying.

- US C-17s to India are not carrying military cargo, nor are they carrying Israeli operatives. There is no giant conspiracy against Pakistan, Pakistan's military and the ISI are puppet systems of the US already. The US C-17s are returning from the Middle East to pick-up the large number of resources the US invested in the recent US-India Tiger Triumph 2025 military exercises. The exercises ended less than 7 days ago, and lasted over 15 days.
