India’s Border Security Force (BSF) conducted aerial insertion exercises with NSG commandos at key locations seemingly as part of normal routines, but many experts have cast doubts on India’s intentions.
These aerial exercises involving military choppers were done as part of a comprehensive integrated counter-terror exercise, but multiple experts have said that these exercises are “far from routine military preparedness.”
Independent research points to recent massive acquisitions of new defence weapons, missile tests, naval expansions, and aggressive troop posturing.
These examples provide evidence that these recent military exercises being undertaken by the Indian military are surely not defensive in nature.
Rather, they appear to be calculated steps by the embattled RSS-BJP regime to engineer yet another dangerous misadventure against Pakistan.
One defence analyst while talking to Azaad English remarked, “The saffron-clad government in New Delhi is currently reeling under immense political pressure following the humiliation it suffered during Operation Sindoor.”
“The severe blow to its false bravado when the US President openly acknowledged Pakistan’s successful shooting down of Indian fighter jets has shaken the Indian government.”
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Pakistan shot down multiple Indian fighter jets during the May 2025 conflict, including Rafale aircraft. His remarks are seen as a rare public admission of Pakistan’s military strength and India’s failure in the recent war.
Speaking at a dinner with Republican senators, Trump recalled the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. He said, “You had India, Pakistan… planes were being shot out of the air. I think five jets were shot down.” He described the situation as dangerous and said both countries were “hitting each other.”
Trump’s words confirm what Pakistan had already claimed that its Air Force successfully defended the nation and downed several Indian aircraft. Among them were Rafales, considered India’s top-of-the-line jets bought from France.
