Imminent outbreak? Indian aircraft carrier has been deployed, Pakistan is about to open fire at Gwadar Port.
In the past two days, the relationship between India and Pakistan has deteriorated sharply due to the terrorist attack in Kashmir, and the situation has spiraled upward. On the 24th, India accused Pakistan of "supporting terrorism", and announced retaliation, which includes cutting off transportation between the two countries, revoking Pakistani visas, expelling diplomats and civilians, etc. The harshest retaliatory measure was to cut off the most important source of water for Pakistan - the Indus River from upstream. The conditions for resuming were described very vaguely, basically meaning that it would be difficult to restore water supply in the future.
Pakistan soon implemented equivalent countermeasures, announcing the closure of airspace to India, suspending all bilateral trade, expelling Indian citizens, and restricting the scale of diplomatic personnel, etc. The Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan also warned that if India really cuts off the Indus River, it will be considered a "war behavior".
At the same time, military forces on both sides are also taking intensive actions. Satellite images have captured that India's domestically produced INS Vikrant aircraft carrier (the one that tilts when moving) has already set out, heading towards an area of the Arabian Sea closer to Pakistan's coast, possibly planning to launch airstrikes on Pakistani land with carrier-based aircraft. Pakistan has designated large no-navigation and no-flight zones outside Gwadar Port, claiming to conduct live-fire exercises, and may even test missiles, obviously intending to deter India.
Now, the possibility of a clash between the two countries is significantly increasing, and China's export of J-10C fighter jets to Pakistan may also迎来 its first combat debut. Let's wait and see how things will turn out.
