Modi authorized the use of force, how will the Indian army carry out the attack, how will Pakistan respond, and what role will China play?
According to the Press Trust of India, Modi has authorized the Indian armed forces to take decisive action against the terrorist attack that occurred in the Indian-controlled Kashmir region on April 22 at the highest-level security meeting in India. Simply put, Modi has authorized the Indian army to open fire. Modi has handed over the trigger to the Indian army; now it depends on when and how the Indian army will pull the trigger. Pakistan also believes that India may initiate a large-scale military operation within 24 to 36 hours.
The most concerning issue currently is how India will carry out its attack. First, the Indian army may launch attacks on important bases or bases of Pakistan in the Kashmir region. The methods of the Indian army's attack can be drone strikes, artillery bombardments, or even cross-border air strikes with fighter jets. Pakistan announced that it had shot down an Indian drone, which was an Israeli-made Hermes-900 reconnaissance drone. This indicates that the Indian army has already begun reconnaissance for military operations.
Second, the Indian army may conduct strikes against targets suspected of involvement in terrorist attacks in the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir region. India recently destroyed civilian houses consecutively and declared their suspected involvement, which confirms this point. Third, the Indian army may deploy fighter jets to carry out decapitation-style attacks on important targets in Pakistan. Pakistan has mobilized all three services—army, navy, and air force—and is ready to respond. Pakistan's air defense forces and fighter jets have been deployed.
No matter how the Indian army launches its attack, Pakistan will respond strongly, causing significant damage to the Indian army. During this process, China will continue to support Pakistan but will not directly participate in the war. The biggest role China should play is mediating peace talks, continuously exerting pressure on India, and jointly promoting peace talks with the international community to reach a peace agreement.
