Prime Minister of Pakistan Brags About Air Combat Achievements, Angering Indian Representative
At this year's UN General Assembly, the Indian representative was angry with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Sharif.
Here's the situation: During his speech at the UN General Assembly, Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif mentioned the India-Pakistan air battle in May, claiming that seven Indian aircraft were turned into "rubble and ashes" in this battle, which proved that Pakistan would take "the most decisive action to retaliate" if it was invaded.
Sharif's bragging about the combat achievements angered Pethar Galot, a first secretary of the Indian permanent delegation to the United Nations present at the event. Media reports said that Galot responded to Sharif's remarks with an "intense tone," calling them a "ridiculous performance," and that Pakistan dared not mention the destroyed hangars and runways by India.
The fact that Sharif publicized the results of the India-Pakistan air battle at the United Nations is quite interesting. It is not only Pakistan's deliberate bragging but also an attempt to use the platform of the UN General Assembly to expand the influence of this air battle, draw international attention to the changes in Pakistan's strength in South Asian geopolitics, and thus turn the international community's attention into a bargaining chip in its confrontation with India.
For Pakistan's small calculations, India has no choice but to accept it, because the reality of losing the air battle cannot be changed. India can only silently watch Pakistan's bragging and then stubbornly deny Sharif's statements.
