Hi @Mid_Day, that's a Gripen. Neither the Indian Air Force nor the Pakistan Air Force operate any.
Hi @TimesOfIndia, why a 'representative image' of an F-35 though?
Hi @WIONews, that isn't a Sukhoi-30, that's a Jaguar.
Hi @IndiaToday, that's an American AH-64 Apache attack chopper, not a 'Chinese helicopter'.
@IndiaToday Hi @AIRNewsAlerts, that isn't a QRSAM, that's the Agni-V ballistic missile.
Hi @httweets, that isn't the Indian QRSAM, that's the Russian Smerch multi-barrel rocket launcher system.
Hi @TimesNow, that's an American soldier.
Hi @EconomicTimes, that's the Akash SAM, not the Nag ATGM.
Hi @FinancialXpress, that's the Agni-V long range nuclear ballistic missile, not the Nag anti-tank missile.
Hi @TheQuint, that's a Chinese-designed Pakistan Air Force JF-17, not an F-16.
Hi @France24, that's not... oh, nevermind.
Hi @TimesNow, that's a @NorthropGrumman RQ-4 Global Hawk, not the General Atomics MQ-9B SeaGuardian that has been cleared for India.
Yes, but that's a legacy Hornet, @WarIsBoring.
Sigh.
Hi @moneycontrolcom, those aren't C-17s, those are Rafales.
Hi @PDChina, that's the Agni-V long range nuclear ballistic missile, not India's new QRSAM.
Hi @NewIndianXpress, that isn't a MiG-23, that's a Su-30 MKI.
Hi @TimesNow, that's a US Army soldier, not Indian.
Hi @ETDefence, those are MiG-29s, not Jaguars.
Hi @The_Hindu, those are Mi-35s, not Apaches.
Hi @ETDefence, we certainly hope #AdaniSaab isn't planning to build MiG-21s in India.
Sigh, @Forbes_India. No, that isn't an ALH Dhruv.
Hi @ZeeNews, there's no F-16 or F-18 in that picture. That's an F-15 and a B-1B.
Hi @Indiacom, that isn't a Nag missile.
Where @RAeSTimR takes a swing. A big one.
Hi @ETDefence, Russia doesn’t build or offer F-16s.
Hi @NewIndianXpress, don’t think that’s *quite* the ‘US drone’ Pakistan is worried about.
Hi @INCIndia, Saab doesn't build F-16 "fighter aircrafts".
Hi @FinancialXpress, that isn’t a sailboat, that’s aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.
Hi @CNNNews18, that isn’t the Nirbhay cruise missile, that’s an Akash surface-to-air missile.
Hi @INCIndia, it's spelt 'R-A-F-A-L-E'.
Hi @EconomicTimes, that isn't China's Dongfeng-41, that's India's Agni-V.
Hi @WIONews, that's India's Nirbhay cruise missile, not China's new ballistic missile.
Hi @Mail_Today, that’s a @Saab Gripen, not a Rafale.
Hi @CNNnews18, those are @BAESystemsplc Hawks, not Kirans.
Hi @WIONews, that’s India’s Nirbhay cruise missile in the picture.
Hi @The_Hindu, excellent report, but that’s INS Chakra in your front page photo, not INS Arihant.
Hi @TheQuint, that's another picture of INS Chakra, not INS Arihant.
Hi @OfficeOfRG, that’s a Bell Huey helicopter. The Indian Army doesn’t operate those.
Hi @Livemint, that’s the Agni IV, not the #Agni5.
Hi @TimesNow, that’s an An-32, not a MiG-21.
That’s a US Tomahawk, not an Indian Nirbhay, @EconomicTimes.
We can’t find anyone who got a picture wrong (so far) on the Rafale story! 👊🏽 #ThingsChange
Hi @dna, the tragic crash was of a Virus SW80 microlight aircraft. That’s a picture of the IAF’s heaviest jet, the Su-30 MKI.
Hi @livemint, you’ve probably given people a real scare by using that picture of an LCA Tejas (flawless safety record), instead of the Virus SW80 microlight that tragically crashed.
Hi @NewsNationTV, that’s a Russian Su-57 PAK FA test plane you’ve got in that graphic on aircraft India is deploying near the China border.
Hi @ABPnewsTV, that’s a restored vintage IAF de Havilland Tiger Moth, not a microlight of the kind that crashed.
Hi @NCPspeaks & @Supriya_Sule, the Rafale is not a helicopter, it’s a fighter plane.
Hi @GodrejCinthol, nice tribute, but that's a Eurofighter Typhoon in your picture, not a MiG-21 that #AvaniChaturvedi flies.
Hi @Livemint, we need to talk.
Hi @bsindia, that isn’t a Chinese J-20, it’s an American F/A-18.
Hi @IndianExpress, that isn’t a Nag ATGM, that’s a BrahMos.
Hi @DNA, that’s the Agni-V, not Agni-II.
Hi @moneycontrolcom, that isn’t an interceptor boat, that’s aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya.
Hi @moneycontrolcom, pretty sure the @IndianNavy all-woman crew isn’t sailing around the world in an aircraft carrier.
Hi @DefexpoI, as @SaurabhJoshi points out, that image you’ve used is from Band Of Brothers.
Hi @ZeeNewsHindi, your show on India’s LCA Tejas has a Sino-‘Pak’ JF-17 fighter in that bottom band.
Hi @Scroll_in, that's the Netra airborne early warning jet, not the sort of fighter aircraft your report is about.
Hi @OutlookIndia, that's not a fighter jet, that's an An-32 transport aircraft,
Hi @BSIndia, we need to talk.
Not to be trivial too, but it’s spelt R-A-F-A-L-E, @Siddaramaiah.
Hi @moneycontrolcom, we need to talk.
Hi @moneycontrolcom, that isn’t a Russian S-400, that’s an Indian Akash missile.
Hi @HTTweets, that’s not an ‘anti-submarine warfare chopper’, that’s an F-16.
Hi @FinancialXpress, those aren’t LCA Tejas jets, those are Mirage 2000s. (H/t @Abhej1t)
Hi @MyNation, India doesn’t have F-35s.
Hi @thewire_in, that’s an American B-1B Lancer bomber aircraft, not a fifth generation fighter.
Hi @DeptofDefense, that isn’t an MV22B Osprey, that’s a CH-53.
Hi @MyNation, that’s a Boeing AH-64 Apache, not an AgustaWestland helicopter type.
Obligatory 👏🏾👍🏾 for media getting their pictures right on the Rafale story. 🏅
[Spoke too soon]

Hi @TimesNow, those aren't Rafales, those are Sukhoi Su-34s.
Hi @IndianExpress, your FRONT PAGE picture with the Rafale story is a @Saab Gripen.
So close, @EconomicTimes! That’s a Eurofighter Typhoon, not a Rafale.
Hi @MyGovAssam, here's a fact for you: those are F-16s in your 'facts on Kargil War' post.
🤦🏾‍♂️From 'Band Of Brothers' to the iconic WW2 image from Iwo Jima, gaffes aplenty on #KargilVijayDiwas from folks in both of India's national political parties.
Hi @RSSurjewala, it’s honestly about time your team got the spelling of ‘Rafale’ right. ‘Rafael’ happens to be an Israeli armament firm. (Not that @DefenceMinIndia hasn’t done the same before)
Hi @sanjaynirupam, that’s an F-16 model your people are holding at the Rafale protest. 🤦🏽‍♂️
