New Delhi: Pakistan’s high-octane propaganda campaign following Operation Sindoor has come crashing down — thanks to cold, hard satellite evidence. In a damning revelation, renowned satellite imagery analyst Damien Symon has debunked Islamabad’s claims of successfully striking multiple Indian military installations.
From Sukhois to S-400s, Pakistan boasted of direct hits and destruction. But as Symon’s forensic analysis reveals — not a single one of those claims holds water.
🔍Claim 1: Sukhoi Fighter Jet Hit at Adampur Airbase
Pakistani sources shared a grainy image showing a supposed burn mark near a jet, claiming it was a Sukhoi-30MKI hit at Adampur in Punjab. Symon, however, confirmed that:
-
The image pre-dates the conflict
-
The jet is not a Sukhoi but a MiG-29 undergoing routine maintenance
-
The mark was engine soot, not bomb damage
Verdict: Completely False
New report alleges a direct hit at India’s Adampur Air Base by Pakistan damaged a Su-30, however a review reveals this image taken in March 2025, pre-conflict actually shows a MiG-29 undergoing maintenance, the dark soot near the engine test pad is routine, not battle damage pic.twitter.com/GOC1NVRX9I

🔍 Claim 2: S-400 System Destroyed at Bhuj Airbase
Another dramatic claim said India’s prized S-400 missile defense system was hit at the Bhuj airbase. Shared images showed dark patches on the ground, touted as missile impact zones.
Symon clarified that:
-
The patches were actually oil stains in a vehicle yard
-
The image was taken before the conflict began
Verdict: Misleading and Pre-dated
An image is being circulated now as a Pakistan destroyed S-400 radar in India, a review however indicates it’s likely just oil stains at Bhuj military base’s vehicle service yard, also the image predates the recent Indo-Pak conflict as it was taken in February 2025 pic.twitter.com/Y850jfk4n9

🔍 Claim 3: Srinagar Airport Attacked
To back its narrative of wide-scale damage, Pakistan circulated a blurry image of Srinagar airport. High-resolution satellite imagery, however, showed:
-
No visible impact
-
The civilian apron and surroundings were intact
Verdict: No Strike, No Damage
An image now circulating claims to show damage at Srinagar Airport as a result of the recent India-Pakistan conflict, however, a review with multiple recent images shows inconsistencies, no such damage is found at the airport, this image was likely manipulated or misinterpreted pic.twitter.com/MwMYBwRnUg

🔍 Claim 4: Missile Strike at Jammu Airport
Another viral claim showed dark spots near Jammu airport’s runway. Symon’s review confirmed:
-
The image was digitally manipulated
-
Post-strike satellite photos showed no actual damage
Verdict: Doctored Evidence
A doctored, manipulated image of Jammu Airport is being circulated to falsely imply damage on site, however recent visuals confirm no such destruction, infact, the tampered image predates May 09–10, 2025 pic.twitter.com/zMdBhlDpIz

🔍 Claim 5: Naliya Airbase Bombed
Pakistan pointed to a supposed strike at Naliya airbase, based on a photo showing scorched ground. But once again, Symon’s analysis revealed:
-
The dark patch was a cloud shadow over the runway
-
No bomb or missile impact detected
Verdict: Natural Shadow, Not Bombing
A new image of Naliya Airbase in India, dated 12 May 2025 is being circulated highlighting the darkening of soil around the runway as damage, however verification of the image reveals a shadow of a cloud overhead as the reason behind this apparent discoloration on ground pic.twitter.com/Xt0YyHFV1o

🛰️ Even Chinese Imagery Didn’t Back Pakistan’s Story
Pakistan tried to cite imagery from a Chinese satellite company to prove damage at Adampur. But the alleged “blast mark” had already appeared in older, unrelated imagery — proving it was not the result of any strike.
Verdict: Misuse of Outdated Data
Chinese released image of Adampur airbase, India – dated 12 May 2025, find only vehicle tracks in the target area shared by Pak ISPR, report no damage, once again leading to an inconclusive result regarding the strike on this location pic.twitter.com/IInEBVYrvW

🔚 Conclusion: Propaganda vs Proof
With each claim falling apart under satellite scrutiny, Damien Symon’s analysis makes it clear:
Pakistan’s narrative was built on fiction, not fact. The attempt to fabricate damage through doctored images and pre-conflict visuals is now exposed, leaving Islamabad’s credibility in tatters.
India’s military infrastructure remains untouched and alert — and the truth is finally orbiting above the lies.
