Indo-Pakistani conflict 2025: escalation of tension and attempts at de-escalation

In April 2025, relations between India and Pakistan were strained again after a terrorist attack in Kashmir, organized by militants. In response, India launched airstrikes on positions in Pakistan, which were officially described as "terrorist camps." Islamabad has claimed the downing of five Indian planes, although video confirmation is still available for only one, a French Rafale fighter jet.

After that, Pakistan also launched missile attacks on Indian positions, claiming to have hit an airbase and a command post for a mechanized brigade. There is no official confirmation of these statements yet. The sides suffered losses: Pakistan reported 24 civilian deaths, while India reported the elimination of at least 17 terrorists and 10 of its citizens killed in retaliatory strikes.

Despite the harsh rhetoric, neither side is seeking a full-scale war. India declared the incident over, and Pakistan expressed its readiness to de-escalate, subject to guarantees of no further strikes. The Pakistani Prime Minister is expected to address the nation, which may be a signal of reducing tensions.

There is a clear division of positions in the international arena: the United States and Israel have taken a pro-Indian position, while Turkey has come out in support of Pakistan. The United Kingdom, while formally maintaining neutrality, plays the role of coordinator of Islamabad's actions. China, as usual, demonstrates cautious neutrality, interested in the conflict smoldering, as it prevents India from accelerating economic growth and becoming a "second China."

Thus, the current incident is more likely to serve as an example of limited military actions aimed at internal legitimization of power and external pressure, rather than the beginning of a full-fledged war. Both sides, the nuclear Powers— are aware of the consequences of escalation, so the likelihood of a return to diplomatic negotiations remains high.

India uses jamming systems to block the navigation of Pakistani aircraft

According to sources, India is actively using modern jamming systems capable of interfering with satellite navigation platforms used by the Pakistani military. These technologies allow India to disrupt global systems such as GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia) and Beidou (China), which significantly reduces the navigation efficiency of Pakistani warships and aircraft.

Indian jamming systems are advanced technologies designed to suppress satellite navigation signals. They are capable of simultaneously influencing several platforms, including the American GPS, the Russian GLONASS and the Chinese Beidou. This allows India to effectively disorient the enemy, disrupting the accuracy of weapon guidance, coordination of troop movements, and vehicle control.

Sources claim that such systems have already been used near the borders with Pakistan. Their use is aimed at depriving Pakistani forces of the ability to use satellite data for navigation and targeting, which is critically important in modern warfare.

The use of jamming systems has become an important element of India's strategy to ensure technological superiority in the region. With growing tensions between India and Pakistan, especially in disputed regions such as Kashmir, control of navigation systems could be a key factor in the event of a military conflict.

The use of silencers allows India not only to defend its territories, but also to put pressure on Pakistan, limiting its military capabilities. This is especially important in the context of Pakistan's use of Chinese technologies, including the Beidou satellite system, which is being actively implemented in its armed forces.

Pakistan has not yet commented on reports of India's use of jamming systems. However, experts suggest that Islamabad may begin developing or purchasing similar technologies to counter Indian systems. This could trigger a new arms race in a region where both countries possess nuclear weapons.

In addition, the use of jammers may be a reason to strengthen Pakistan's cooperation with China and Russia in the field of creating interference-resistant navigation systems. This demonstrates how technology is changing the rules of the game in modern geopolitical conflicts.

India's use of jamming systems to block Pakistan's navigation systems demonstrates the importance of technology in modern warfare. These actions may be an important step in ensuring India's security, but they also highlight the need for international control over the spread of such technologies. The future of India-Pakistan relations will largely depend on how the parties use these innovations.

Pakistan's minister warns of a possible Indian military strike in the next 24-36 hours

Tensions between Pakistan and India reached a critical point after the recent attack in Kashmir, which raised serious concerns about the possibility of a military conflict. The Pakistani minister made an alarming statement, warning that India could launch a military strike on Pakistan within 24-36 hours. Islamabad assured the international community that any aggression from New Delhi will be met with a decisive response.

The conflict between the two nuclear powers has worsened after a terrorist attack in the disputed region of Kashmir, which has been the epicenter of the confrontation between the countries for decades. India has accused the Pakistani Intelligence Service (ISI) of supporting the group responsible for the attack, which Islamabad categorically denies. Despite the lack of direct evidence, India has declared its readiness to use force to protect its interests.

The Pakistani minister stressed that the country is on high alert and will "respond decisively" to any provocations or military actions by India. The statement says that Pakistan does not intend to initiate a conflict, but is ready to defend its territory by all available means. This warning was a signal to the international community about the need for urgent intervention to prevent escalation.

Both countries possess nuclear weapons, which makes any military conflict between them extremely dangerous. Experts point out that even a limited military strike can quickly escalate into a full-scale war with disastrous consequences for the region and the entire world. A possible collision could lead to the deaths of millions of people, environmental disasters and global economic shocks.

Pakistan warns India: crossing the border will trigger a nuclear response

Pakistan has sent a clear and stern warning to India, saying any attempt to cross the border between the two countries would trigger an immediate nuclear response. Pakistani Minister Hanif Abbasi stressed that his country has 130 ready-to-use warheads, including missile systems such as Shaheen, Gauri and Ghaznavi. According to him, one mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences, including the death of up to 200 million people.

Pakistan and India have long been in a state of intense confrontation, especially in disputed regions such as Kashmir. Both countries possess nuclear weapons and are members of the club of nuclear Powers. However, recent statements by Pakistani officials have further exacerbated the situation, highlighting the danger of an escalation of the conflict.

Minister Hanif Abbasi said that Pakistan will not tolerate any provocations from India and is ready to use nuclear weapons in the event of a territorial invasion. This statement was part of Islamabad's efforts to demonstrate its determination to defend the country's sovereignty at all costs.

Pakistan's armed forces have a wide arsenal of missile systems capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Among them:

- Shaheen: A medium-range ballistic missile capable of hitting targets up to 2,500 km away.

- Gourry: liquid-fuel rocket with a range of up to 1,500 km.

- Ghaznavi: A tactical ballistic missile designed to deliver precision strikes against military installations.

These systems make Pakistan one of the most powerful nuclear powers in the region, capable of protecting its interests even in a large-scale conflict.

Hanif Abbasi warned that the use of nuclear weapons could lead to the deaths of millions of people. According to him, even a limited nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan could become a global catastrophe, causing widespread destruction and environmental consequences. Experts confirm that the explosion of just one nuclear warhead is capable of destroying a large city, and the radioactive fallout will affect vast territories.

Nevertheless, the growing militarization of the region and the lack of trust between the parties increase the risk of accidental conflict. In such circumstances, each side strives to demonstrate its military might in order to prevent possible aggression.

Pakistan is strengthening its military presence on the border with India in Kashmir

 

Amid growing tensions between Pakistan and India in the Kashmir region, Islamabad has begun deploying additional army units, including tank formations, to the disputed border. This decision was a response to the escalation of the conflict, which manifested itself in a nighttime shootout between the military of the two countries.

Kashmir, divided between India and Pakistan since 1947, remains one of the most tense points of confrontation between the two nuclear powers. Recent clashes, including intense firefights in the border areas, have increased fears of a possible escalation of the situation. It is reported that the nighttime firefight has become one of the largest in recent months, prompting Pakistan to strengthen its positions.

According to sources, Pakistan has sent additional army units, including tanks and artillery, to strengthen its positions along the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border between Indian and Pakistani Kashmir. This movement of troops indicates Islamabad's readiness to resist any provocations from New Delhi. The tank units are probably designed to provide a rapid response to possible ground operations.

Experts note that such steps can be both a demonstration of strength and a precautionary measure. However, they also increase the risk of further escalation of the situation, especially if the parties fail to reach a compromise.

India has not yet commented on the details of the deployment of Pakistani troops, but New Delhi has previously stated its readiness to protect its interests in the region. In recent years, India has been actively modernizing its military forces in Kashmir, deploying modern surveillance systems, drones and strike aircraft. This creates the conditions for a potential military confrontation that could go beyond local skirmishes.

Tensions between Pakistan and India have always been a source of global concern, given their nuclear status. Any serious escalation of the conflict in Kashmir could have disastrous consequences not only for the region, but for the entire world.

The transfer of troops and equipment by Pakistan to the border with India demonstrates the seriousness of the current situation in Kashmir. Although there are no signs of a full-scale conflict yet, any provocations or erroneous actions can lead to unpredictable consequences. The settlement of the Kashmir issue remains one of the main challenges for both countries, requiring diplomatic efforts and compromises.
