A comprehensive fact-check reveals that a tweet shared by @TheLegateIN on X, purporting to quote IAF Sgt. Bhale Singh claiming that 'not even a cable of the S-400 unit was damaged by PAF strikes,' is fake propaganda. The account @TheLegateIN is known for disseminating India-linked disinformation. No credible evidence, official IAF statements, or independent verification supports the claim. The S-400 system is a high-value asset; any strike on it would be widely reported if true. The tweet appears designed to undermine Pakistani military capabilities and boost Indian morale without factual basis. In my opinion, such fabricated narratives erode trust in information and serve only to escalate tensions. This claim should be dismissed as unsubstantiated propaganda.
