Pakistan said on Wednesday it has “credible intelligence” that India intends to launch military action soon, as tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours escalate following an attack on tourists in Indian Kashmir
I certainly do not want one, but those two countries have been itching for a fight for a while, and they are both armed with nuclear weapons. If there is a conflict that breaks out, maybe this will be the one someone said he will stop in 24 hours.
New: Five Indian Air Force jets and one drone have been shot down by Pakistan during India’s attack, according to Pakistani security sources.
In a statement released to reporters, the security sources said three Rafale jets, one MiG-29 and one SU-30 fighter jets were downed “in self-defense”. An Indian Heron drone was also shot down, they added. A second senior Pakistani government official confirmed the same list of downed aircraft. The latest briefing did not say where precisely the jets were downed or how.
That would seem like a huge failure in the first day of operations by India.
Has there been a declaration of war? Or does India just consider this an anti terrorist operation?
Sounds like they are trying to do a tit for tat and avoid escalation. Wise , but it’s always a risk things can get out of control quickly. Hopefully it will be a measured
response and both sides will leave it at that.
