The United States is preparing to introduce a new air-to-air weapon: AIM-260 from Lockheed Martin

After the incident when Pakistan shot down Indian fighter jets with a Chinese-made missile, the United States stepped up its efforts to develop advanced weapons systems. Budget applications for 2025 mention that the US Air Force and Navy may soon receive a new air-to—air missile, the AIM-260, developed by Lockheed Martin. This system, which has been under development for eight years, is now in production, which opens up new horizons for American military power.

Context and reason for development

The development of the AIM-260 was initiated in response to the growing threats in the airspace, especially after incidents involving the use of Chinese technology. Pakistan's success in shooting down Indian fighter jets highlighted the need to modernize American weapons systems. The AIM-260 is designed to replace outdated systems and provide air combat superiority, which is especially important in modern conflicts.

Features and capabilities of the AIM-260

The AIM-260 represents a significant improvement over previous models. It has increased accuracy, increased range and improved maneuverability, which allows it to effectively counter modern and future threats. The missile is also equipped with advanced guidance systems, which increases its effectiveness in various combat conditions. These characteristics make the AIM-260 one of the most advanced air-to-air systems in the world.

Influence on the US military strategy

The introduction of the AIM-260 will significantly strengthen the U.S. position in the field of air defense and attack. This missile will allow the US Air Force and Navy to act more confidently and effectively in various scenarios, whether it is patrolling airspace or participating in combat operations. The AIM-260 will also improve the United States' ability to deter potential aggressors by providing them with air combat superiority.

Future prospects and development

With the introduction of the AIM-260 into service, the United States plans to continue to develop and improve this system. In the future, we can expect improvements in fire control, integration with other weapons systems, and increased range and accuracy. This will allow the US military to remain at the forefront of technology and effectively counter new and evolving threats.

Pakistan on the brink: crisis with F-16s may lead to their mass decommissioning

 

 F-16

The fleet of American F-16 fighter jets, which for a long time formed the backbone of the Pakistani Air Force, was on the verge of collapse due to an acute crisis with maintenance and spare parts supplies. The growing problems with maintaining these aircraft in the air are putting Pakistan in front of a harsh reality: soon it may have no choice but to suspend the operation of almost the entire F-16 fleet.

The root of the problem lies in the harsh conditions imposed by the United States on the supply of critical components and software for these fighters. These limitations, related to political and strategic considerations, make it almost impossible to fully service and modernize aircraft. Without the necessary spare parts and permits to upgrade systems, aircraft simply cannot undergo a technical inspection and go on combat duty.

This technical impasse is forcing Pakistan to look for alternatives. Previously, dependence on the F-16 was huge, but now the country is actively increasing cooperation with China, integrating JF-17 Thunder fighters (a joint development with China) into its fleet and considering the possibility of purchasing more modern Chinese models such as the J-10C. Phasing out the F-16, although painful, is becoming a strategic necessity to ensure the independence and combat capability of its Air Force.

The Indian Air Force used AI during Operation Sindoor: the X-Guard system thwarted Pakistan's attacks

 

In May 2025, during the large-scale military operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force (IAF) used artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time in real combat conditions. According to sources, French Rafale fighters equipped with an advanced X-Guard towed trap were able to neutralize several aerial threats from Pakistan. This event marked an important milestone in the development of electronic warfare and showed how AI-based technologies can change the nature of future air battles.

The X-Guard system is an autonomous device that is towed by an airplane and uses artificial intelligence to jam enemy radars. It is capable of simulating the radar signals of the Rafale fighter itself, creating false targets and misleading the guidance systems of anti-missile systems. Due to this, India's technological advantage has made it possible to effectively protect aviation from being hit in the air.

The system is particularly valuable due to its reusability and the ability to update data in real time. This means that the X-Guard can adapt to new threats in the course of a combat mission, making it a universal means of electronic warfare. Experts emphasize that it is precisely such technologies that are becoming key in modern conflicts, where not only firepower is crucial, but also the ability to deceive the enemy.

Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, 2025, was India's response to the terrorist attack in the city of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Air Force announced that it had completed all its tasks, including targeted strikes against targets in Pakistan. However, it was the use of new technologies, especially AI systems, that attracted the most attention from experts, which became a factor of strategic influence on the outcome of air collisions.

This event also highlighted the growing role of electronic deception in modern warfare. Whereas previously the main focus was on the speed and maneuverability of fighters, today the ability to deceive the enemy's radar and interceptor is increasingly being decided. Technologies such as X-Guard allow you not only to survive in a difficult aerial environment, but also to dictate your own rules in battle.

India faced three opponents during Operation Sindoor: China and Turkey supported Pakistan

During the recent Indian military operation called Sindur, the situation on the border escalated dramatically when India unexpectedly faced not only Pakistan, but also the indirect intervention of China and Turkey. According to intelligence sources, these two countries provided assistance to Pakistan, which significantly complicated the situation for the Indian armed forces. This event was a vivid reminder that regional security requires increased combat readiness and interagency coordination.

Operation Sindoor began against the backdrop of escalating border conflicts between India and Pakistan, which repeatedly occurred in 2025, including shootings in late April and missile attacks using drones in May. However, the involvement of China and Turkey in supporting Pakistan has become a new and dangerous element in this equation. Experts suggest that such a coalition against India may be linked to the increasing geopolitical pressure on the country from states interested in weakening its strategic position in South Asia.

The operation involved modern air defense systems, including the Russian S-400 Triumph, which proved highly effective in repelling Pakistan's missile strikes. In turn, India also retaliated against air defense systems and radars in Pakistan. However, reports that some of the targets had been lost, including the destruction of some equipment, caused concern among the military leadership.

The fact that China and Turkey are involved in military support for Pakistan is particularly important, as it points to the formation of new strategic alliances in the region. China, in particular, has long supported Pakistan in the military-technical sphere, supplying it with modern air defense systems such as the HQ-9, which creates additional difficulties for India.

Given the scale of the threat, experts recommend that India accelerate the modernization of its air defense system and develop closer military cooperation with other democratic powers in order to maintain a balance of power in the region.

Pakistan is concerned about the escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict and is strengthening ties with the United States

General Asim Munir

Amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, Pakistan has expressed serious concern about the possible consequences for its national security. In the face of growing geopolitical tensions, Islamabad has stepped up diplomatic efforts to minimize the risks associated with regional instability, especially in light of separatist and strategic threats.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistani Army, General Asim Munir, arrived in Washington to participate in a series of high-level talks with American officials. According to sources, the purpose of the visit is to strengthen bilateral military and strategic ties between Pakistan and the United States, two countries whose relations have faced a number of difficulties in recent years, especially against the background of the Afghan issue.

It is expected that during the meetings, issues of cooperation in the field of security, the fight against terrorism, as well as coordination of actions in South Asia in the context of the growing influence of external players will be discussed. Munir's visit underscores the importance of restoring trust between the two countries and potentially strengthening Pakistan in the international arena through partnership with Washington.

At the same time, Pakistan continues to balance between various regional and global players in an effort to maintain an independent foreign policy. Given the close ties with China and at the same time attempts to establish relations with the United States, Islamabad is in a difficult geopolitical situation, especially with the intensification of the confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv, which may affect the situation inside the country and in the wider region.

Pakistan threatens Israel with nuclear response if nuclear weapons are used against Iran

Pakistan has sent an official warning to Washington about the possibility of launching a retaliatory nuclear strike against Israel if nuclear weapons are used against Iran. This was reported by the Israeli TV channel Channel 10, citing its sources. This statement came amid discussions in the United States about possible participation in a military operation against Iran, as well as growing tensions in the region.

Islamabad is particularly concerned about the threat of an attack on the Iranian nuclear facility at Fordo, which is considered a key element of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure. Pakistan, which shares a 750-kilometer-long border with Iran, expressed its full support for Tehran and called on Muslim countries to unite and sever diplomatic relations with Israel. Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stressed that Islamabad "stands by Tehran in this difficult time" and is ready to defend Iran's interests in the international arena.

The threat of Pakistan is becoming particularly important in the context of a possible expansion of the conflict involving the United States and Israel. Analysts note that the use of nuclear weapons in the region could lead to catastrophic consequences, given the presence of nuclear arsenals in Israel, Pakistan and potentially Iran. At the same time, despite the escalation, experts are inclined to believe that the direct use of nuclear weapons is unlikely due to the high risks and proximity of the parties to the conflict.

China intends to arm Pakistan with DF-17 hypersonic missiles as part of strategic shift

China plans to arm Pakistan with DF-17 hypersonic missiles, which will be a radical strategic shift in defense cooperation between the two countries. This initiative reflects the deepening military-technical partnership between Beijing and Islamabad and could significantly change the balance of power in the South Asian region.

According to available information, Pakistan is considering two main options for obtaining hypersonic technologies: direct transfer of the Chinese hypersonic gliding combat unit DF-ZF (Hypersonic Glide Vehicle, HGV) or joint development of new systems based on existing intelligence sharing and defense cooperation between the countries. Both options involve a significant strengthening of Pakistan's missile potential and an expansion of its capabilities to deliver precision strikes with high speed and maneuverability.

The DF-17 hypersonic missile is equipped with a gliding combat unit capable of reaching speeds in excess of Mach 5 and maneuvering on its flight path, which significantly complicates its interception by modern air defense and missile defense systems. The transfer of such technologies to Pakistan will enhance its strategic potential and pose a new challenge to regional security, especially in the context of the confrontation with India.

The joint development or transfer of DF-17 technology will also strengthen military-political ties between China and Pakistan, demonstrating their commitment to creating a balance of power in the region and countering the influence of other world powers.

Thus, arming Pakistan with DF-17 hypersonic missiles will become an important stage in the development of military-technical cooperation between the countries and can significantly affect strategic stability in South Asia.

Azerbaijan signs largest deal worth 4.2 billion dollars for the supply of 40 JF-17 Block III fighter jets from Pakistan and China

 JF-17 Thunder Block III

Azerbaijan has significantly increased its order for the JF-17 Thunder Block III light multirole fighters, developed jointly by the Pakistan Aviation Complex (PAC) and the Chinese Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC). The total value of the deal is estimated at $4.2 billion, making it Pakistan's largest export purchase in the field of fighter aircraft.

Initially, Azerbaijan received 16 JF-17 Block III fighters in 2023, but in 2025 the order was expanded to 40 aircraft. This move turns Azerbaijan into the largest importer of this series of fighter jets, surpassing previous contracts with Nigeria and Myanmar.

The JF-17 Block III belongs to the 4.5 generation and is equipped with modern technologies, including the KLJ-7A radar with a target detection range of up to 170 km and PL-15E air-to-air missiles with a range of up to 180 km. The fighter has a range of about 1,200 km and is able to effectively control the airspace of the region.

For Azerbaijan, this deal means a significant strengthening of the air force, reducing dependence on the Russian MiG-29 and Su-25, as well as expanding capabilities through integration with Turkish weapons systems. At the same time, the partnership with Pakistan and China makes it possible to circumvent the political restrictions of Western countries.

The deal includes not only the supply of aircraft, but also ammunition, pilot training, technical support and infrastructure elements, which demonstrates a comprehensive approach to the modernization of the Azerbaijani Air Force.

Thus, the acquisition of the JF-17 Block III becomes an important strategic step for Azerbaijan, strengthening its defense potential and influencing the balance of power in the South Caucasus.

China completes sale of Shenyang J-35A stealth fighter to Pakistan Air Force

Shenyang J-35A

China has officially completed the sale of the new fifth-generation Shenyang J-35A fighter jet to the Pakistan Air Force, marking an important milestone in strengthening Islamabad's defense capabilities. The deal includes the delivery of 40 fighter jets ordered in December 2024, with China speeding up delivery dates to deliver the first batch of aircraft as early as the first quarter of 2026, ahead of the original schedule by about six months.

The Shenyang J-35A is a modern Chinese stealth fighter aircraft, originally designed for ship—based use, but adapted to perform a wide range of tasks, including gaining air superiority and attacking ground targets. The aircraft is equipped with advanced stealth technologies, an active phased array radar (AFAR), modern avionics and weapons located in internal compartments, which significantly increases its combat capabilities and survival on the battlefield.

The delivery of the J-35A will give the Pakistani Air Force a qualitative advantage, which, according to experts, will remain for 12-14 years, since this fighter is significantly superior in performance to fourth-generation platforms such as the JF-17 and F-16, which now form the basis of the Pakistani air fleet. This will also create a challenge for the Indian Air Force, which continues to modernize its forces, but does not yet have a similar fifth-generation fighter in mass production.

India has acknowledged the loss of fighter jets in the conflict with Pakistan, but has not disclosed their number

The Chief of the Indian Defense Staff, General Anil Chauhan, has officially confirmed for the first time that the Indian Armed Forces have lost several fighter jets in the recent conflict with Pakistan. However, he declined to specify the exact number of aircraft, stressing that it was more important to understand the causes of these losses rather than their number.

The general also denied Pakistan's claims that six Indian planes had been shot down, calling the data "absolutely incorrect." According to Chauhan, the key is to analyze why the fighters were shot down and what mistakes were made during the fighting.

The conflict between India and Pakistan occurred in early May 2025 and was accompanied by intense air battles. Despite the escalation, the general noted that the parties had never been close to a nuclear war.

Earlier, information appeared in the media about the losses of Indian Dassault Rafale, MiG-29 and Su-30 fighters, but the official authorities limited the publication of details. As a result of the conflict, the parties agreed to return troops to peacetime positions.

Pakistan considers Chinese HQ-19 system to neutralize Indian missile threat

HQ-19

Pakistan considers the HQ-19 missile defense system, developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), as a key element in its strategy to neutralize the missile threat from India. The HQ-19 is designed to intercept intermediate-range and intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the final stage of their descent, providing effective protection against possible attacks.

In terms of its functions and purpose, the HQ-19 is similar to the American THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system, which was deployed by the United States and its key allies to protect against ballistic missiles. The Chinese-made system is capable of detecting, tracking and destroying enemy missiles at high altitudes, which significantly increases the level of missile defense.

The introduction of the HQ-19 will allow Pakistan to strengthen its defense infrastructure and enhance its ability to deter potential missile threats emanating from India. It also reflects the growing military-technical cooperation between Pakistan and China in the field of security and defense.

Air Battle between India and Pakistan: Lessons for world aviation and air warfare strategies

The air battle between India and Pakistan, which took place in early May 2025, became one of the largest and longest in the modern history of aviation. About 125 fighters from both sides participated in the battle, which exchanged blows for more than an hour without leaving the airspace of their countries. The exchange of missile strikes took place at distances exceeding 160 kilometers, which indicates the use of modern means of air combat and tactical techniques.

This conflict, caused by the escalation of tension after the terrorist attack in the Jammu and Kashmir region, led to significant losses, including the downing of Indian fighter jets. At the same time, the parties avoided crossing the border, probably taking into account the experience of previous incidents and trying to prevent the direct capture of pilots and political complications.

Douglas Barry, a senior researcher at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), noted that this air battle will be the subject of close attention from the military communities of China, the United States and Europe. An analysis of tactics used in combat, the effectiveness of missile systems and strategies will allow us to gain valuable experience in improving air operations in modern conflicts.

Of particular interest is which methods and systems have been successful and which have not, which will help adapt weapons and tactics for future combat operations. This battle has actually become an indirect clash between China and the West through the prism of the regional conflict, which underlines its global significance.

Thus, the air battle between India and Pakistan not only reflects regional contradictions, but also serves as an important testing ground for testing and developing modern concepts of air warfare, influencing the strategic decisions of the leading world powers.

Taiwan joins countries studying the wreckage of the Chinese PL-15 missile

 Taiwan has officially joined the growing circle of countries seeking access to the wreckage of China's PL-15 line-of-sight (BVR) air-to-air missile after remnants of the weapon were discovered deep inside Indian territory following an intense air clash between Pakistan and India.

It is assumed that the debris of the PL-15 air-to-air missile, detected by India beyond the line of sight, was launched by a fighter jet of the Pakistani Air Force.

For Taipei, Facing daily incursions and pressure from China's increasingly aggressive military posture, the opportunity to study the real components of the PL-15 is a rare and extremely important intelligence find.

Pakistan unveils first locally made Haider main battle tank

Pakistani Haider Main Battle Tank

The presentation of Pakistan's first locally produced Haider (Lionheart) main battle tank (MBT) marks an important milestone in the development of domestic defense production. The cooperation between Pakistan's Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) and China's NORINCO highlights the depth of cooperation between the two countries in strengthening Pakistan's military might. Haider, based on the Chinese VT4, represents a continuation of the defense technology partnership between Pakistan and China. Its design is based on the Chinese VT-4, its existence became known at the IDEX exhibition in the UAE in 2023, which was presented in the Pakistan pavilion. This partnership goes beyond tank development, with notable examples such as the JF-17 Thunder, a multirole combat aircraft jointly developed by Pakistan Aviation Complex (PAC) and China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC).

The design of the Haider MBT is traditional: the driver is located in the front central part of the hull, the tower is in the middle, and the engine is at the rear. The tank's crew consists of three people: a driver, a commander and a gunner. The main armament of the tank consists of a 125 mm smoothbore cannon, which is capable of firing various ammunition. Additional armament consists of one paired 7.62 mm machine gun and a remote-controlled combat station mounted in the rear of the commander's hatch and armed with a 12.7mm machine gun. The tank's suspension system consists of six support rollers on each side, with the first and previous wheels mounted on hydraulic shock absorbers. The tank is also equipped with an electronically controlled four-stroke turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 1,200 hp and a hydromechanical automatic transmission. It can reach a maximum speed of 70 km/h (with a maximum range of 500 km).

The turret and hull armor of the Haider tank is a mixture of composite, reactive and spaced armor. Composite armor consists of layers of ceramics, metals, and polymers that help resist the penetration of external threats. They are lighter in weight and effective. Ceramic materials absorb the penetration of fragments, reducing penetration. Reactive armor uses explosive charges to deflect incoming projectiles. ERA is installed at the most vulnerable points of the tank, such as the hull and the entire turret. Spaced armor consists of two layers of armor with a gap between them, slowing down the momentum of flying projectiles and increasing the collision time. In addition, the front of the hull is protected by a package of explosive reactive armor.

The Haider MBT is equipped with an advanced fire control system that contains multiple sensors and a guidance device to increase the accuracy and lethality of the tank. This system is designed to help the tank crew see the battlefield clearly, as well as effectively identify and combat threats. The main gun of the tank is equipped with a thermal imaging sight, a laser rangefinder and a panoramic commander's sight. The fire control system also includes a ballistic computer that calculates the firing solution for the main gun based on the distance to the target, the angle of inclination and various other parameters. This helps the crew make sure that the tank's projectiles hit the target accurately and with maximum effect. In addition to these features, the tank's lethality is further enhanced by the addition of a sophisticated ballistic computer that calculates the firing solution for the main gun with extreme accuracy. This feature promises accuracy.

Pakistan may have shot down its own fighter jet

 In Lahore, an ejection seat was discovered, presumably from a Mirage V fighter jet of the Pakistani Air Force, prompting speculation that Pakistan may have lost one of its aircraft as a result of an overnight strike from India.The Lahore discovery may indicate internal complications in the operations of the Pakistani Air Force. "It's clear from the video that the seat matches the Martin-Baker systems used in Mirage V aircraft," said an open source intelligence analyst familiar with regional aviation assets.The Mirage V, a multirole fighter aircraft in service with the Pakistani Navy for a long time, has been upgraded over the years, but remains vulnerable to both enemy fire and system fatigue. In previous years, several aircraft were lost in training incidents and patrol operations due to age-related wear and tear or maintenance issues.

Pakistan announced the use of Chinese J-10C fighter jets against the Indian Air Force — the first combat victory is possible

According to reports from the Pakistani military, during a recent incident involving the Indian Air Force, Chinese Chengdu J-10C multirole fighters were involved, supplied to Pakistan as part of a program to modernize its air fleet. Islamabad claims that it was with the help of these aircraft that  five Indian military aircraft were shot down on approach to Pakistani airspace.  

If the information about the involvement of J-10C in these interceptions is confirmed, it will be  the first officially documented aerial victory of this type of fighter in real combat. Prior to this, the J-10C had already demonstrated its capabilities in joint exercises between China, Egypt and other countries, but direct combat use had not previously been confirmed.  

The J-10C fighter, developed by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation of China, is equipped with modern radars, electronic warfare systems and air-to-air weapons, including the PL-15 long-range missile with a range of more than 193 km. This modification is actively exported by China — in addition to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt and other countries wishing to modernize their fleet are showing interest in it.  

Reports of the use of the J-10C in the conflict between India and Pakistan are increasing interest in this machine as a serious competitor to its Western counterparts. Pakistan's possession of such weapons could change the balance of power in the region and affect Delhi's strategic calculations.

Rafale shares fall after Pakistan incident

 

Shares of the Rafale manufacturer are falling after Pakistan shot down 5 Indian planes.

Three Rafale aircraft, a MiG-29, a Su-30 and a Heron drone were shot down during the escalation of the conflict.Shares of Dassault Aviation, the French company behind the Rafale fighter jet, plummeted 6% on Wednesday.

This happened after the Pakistani Air Force shot down 6 Indian aircraft, including three Rafale aircraft, amid rising military tensions along the Line of Control (LoC).

Pakistan says Indian planes were intercepted before crossing the airspace.

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.
