Pakistan Circulating Doctored Satellite Imagery To Falsely Claim Strikes In Indian Airbases

In the wake of escalating tensions, Pakistan has come under scrutiny for disseminating manipulated images in an attempt to substantiate claims of successful strikes on Indian military infrastructure. Experts and independent analysts have flagged several instances where visuals shared by Pakistani sources appear doctored or misrepresented.

One such example involves a circulated image of Jammu Airport, purportedly showing extensive damage. However, Damien Symon, widely regarded as one of the most credible OSINT experts and the handler of the @detresfa_ account on X, has confirmed that the image in question is both manipulated and predates the timeframe of May 9–10, 2025.

"A doctored, manipulated image of Jammu Airport is being circulated to falsely imply damage on site, however recent visuals confirm no such destruction," Symon stated, clarifying that the image does not reflect the current state of the site.

Similarly, allegations of damage at Udhampur Airport have been debunked. While claims of airstrikes surfaced online, today’s satellite images reveal no visible damage to the runway. Analysts believe that ongoing runway maintenance, which began in April, may have been misinterpreted or deliberately misrepresented.

Even official imagery released by Pakistan during it's pressure today own show possible damage situated away from the airstrip, undermining the assertion of a successful precision strike.

Furthermore, Pakistan has showcased what it described as "identification/targeting" of India's S-400 air defense system. However, no evidence has been provided to confirm any damage or impact on the site. No aftermath visuals or credible satellite imagery have been presented to validate the claim.

In contrast, Indian airstrikes appear to have left significant damage across multiple Pakistani military installations. Independent analysts and satellite imagery from multiple sources, including Symon, reveal cratered runways, collapsed aircraft shelters, and destroyed radar facilities on various Pakistani airbases.

Despite dramatic claims, Pakistan has yet to furnish any convincing visual or satellite evidence to support its narrative of successful military action against Indian targets. T
