The claim
Baadalon Ne Radar Ko Chakma Diya?
“The clouds could actually help our planes escape the radars and provide us much needed cover.”
Reality check
Radar detects aircraft by bouncing radio waves off them, and those radio waves pass through cloud water droplets largely unaffected. Cloud cover is a visual-concealment idea, not a radar one. Retired Indian Air Marshals publicly rejected the claim on record, and fact-checkers noted the only Balakot-strike systems genuinely hindered by cloud cover were the SPICE-2000 guided bombs, which use optical/scene-matching guidance in their terminal phase, an entirely separate system from radar detection.
Radar has shrugged off cloud cover since roughly the Second World War. Nobody told the clouds they had a stealth assignment.
