American analyst Daniel Markey recently discussed Pakistan’s military capabilities in the event of an Indian strike.
In an interview, he stated that India should be concerned, as Pakistan’s military possesses significant missile capabilities despite India’s larger landmass. He emphasised that Pakistan is well-equipped to retaliate effectively.
Markey also pointed out that India lacks sufficient aircraft to manage potential conflict effectively. Moreover, he warned India to think about its rising conflicts with China, underlining that India would not only be coping with Pakistan but might also have difficulties with China.
Pakistan’s military is ready to face to India
To react forcefully to any possible Indian misadventure, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has sent fighter planes equipped with PL-15 missiles to Swat and Skardu.
Equipped with cutting-edge technology and multi-domain capabilities, the Pakistan Air Force is recognised as a leading force in modern aerial warfare.
Earlier this week, Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir, presided over a Special Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) at General Headquarters (GHQ).
“The Forum reaffirmed the unflinching resolve of the Pakistan Armed Forces to uphold the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country against any aggression or misadventure,” noted the ISPR press release.
Indo-Pak tensions
Tensions between the two nations have been growing since Pahalgam incident.
Since then, India has been giving meaningless threats to Pakistan.
But Islamabad has denied any role in what happened and called for a neutral investigation.
India also suspended its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty, which regulates water-sharing from the Indus River and its tributaries between the two countries. Not only this, in a petty move, India banned the Instagram accounts of Pakistani actors and banned YouTube channels of Pakistani news channels in India to spread their propaganda.
Fire also has been exchanged along the Line of Control (LoC), the 740km (460-mile) de-facto border separating Indian- and Pakistani-controlled areas of Kashmir, prompting international calls to de-escalate tensions.
