Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed has become the subject of widespread memes online after a video surfaced of him apparently attempting to explain the difficulty in identifying India's S-400 Air Defense System, which has proved to be very effective against Pakistani drones. His explanation, full of with military jargon, has been widely interpreted as confusing and nonsensical.
On May 7, 2025, India launched
Operation Sindoor, a precision military campaign that destroyed nine terror launchpads deep within Pakistani territory. In the viral video, post Operation Sindoor, Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed can be heard saying, "Identifying S-400... er... attacking them is the easier part than identifying it on ground because it is mobile, it is a high-value thing and you guard it… it's kind of a centre of gravity."
Critics and social media users have seized upon this statement, particularly his use of the term "centre of gravity," questioning its relevance and clarity in the context of identifying the missile system on the ground.
'Centre of gravity' memes flood social media
Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), are flooded with memes and satirical posts mocking Ahmed for his confusing explanation and repeated, seemingly out-of-context use of the term "centre of gravity."
