The terrorist attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam was a deep and well planned conspiracy to remove the focus of the people of Pakistan from the heavy failures of the military and political front. The inflammatory rhetoric of the first army chief Asim Munir and then the Pahalgam attack was a clear indication that Pakistan had many reasons. On the one hand, rebellion in Balochistan had made the army sleep, on the other hand, the development work of India near the Line of Control and the normal situation in Kashmir made it uncomfortable.
The accuracy with which India attacked terrorist bases on 7 May under counter -operation Operation Sindoor was a proof of technical superiority and strategic skill. From satellite images to the use of drones, every step was planned and effective. India also challenged Pakistan’s air defense capabilities. India not only shook their terrorist network, but also broke the confusion of security around their nuclear command structure. This led to deep fear in Pakistan’s army and they were forced to go to the shelter of America.
The role of America and Western media was also notable in this whole development. On the first day, he gave a place to the propaganda of Pakistan, but as the truth came out, newspapers like New York Times had to believe that there was more loss in Pakistan. One of the reasons behind this was that the weapons and systems that India used not only highlighted the shortcomings of Western weapons, but also set the superiority of Indian systems- especially S-400 and indigenous techniques on the global platform.
It also had a direct impact on the defense deals of western countries and China. The weaknesses of the F-16 and Chinese air defense system dropped their credibility in the market, while a new interest in India’s system arose. This is a sign of change in global power equations.
Talking about the technical age, India’s biggest achievement was that it integrated Russia, indigenous and western systems and created a war network that could automatically activate the sensor-to-shooter link. This gives the ability to react to any goal in minutes and accurately attack. This advantage gives India an edge not only in defense but also in psychological dominance.
