On the brink! India has increased troops by 12,000, deployed supersonic missiles, and dispatched aircraft carriers. Pakistan has moved fighter jets forward and gathered armored forces.
The military action previewed by Indian officials will begin on the night of the 24th and early morning of the 25th. It is very clear that India is not yet ready. Without any evidence, India has targeted Pakistan, which is obviously mainly for political purposes. According to the current situation, India must take some action; otherwise, it cannot get over this hurdle and will have difficulty explaining to the public whose emotions have been stirred up. Now, India is considering the scale of the military action to be launched and how to timely stop the military actions and ensure they can be contained.
Reports indicate that India has announced a state of readiness across the military, urgently reinforcing 12,000 troops to the Kashmir border. The Indian Air Force has begun comprehensively strengthening the maintenance, inspection, and upkeep of frontline region aircraft and made combat deployments. India has urgently deployed the "BrahMos" supersonic cruise missile system, preparing for missile strikes. Indian aircraft carriers have also set sail, heading toward the sea areas close to Pakistan, preparing for maritime attacks and containment against Pakistan.
Pakistan has responded accordingly by gathering armored forces along the Lahore-Muzaffarabad highway, restarting the "Shahadar" joint military exercise suspended in 2019, and moving advanced fighters to the border areas. Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar emphasized that the Pakistan Armed Forces are prepared to respond. Meanwhile, Ishaq Dar warned that if India cuts off river water sources, we will consider it an act of war and respond accordingly.
