India clearly couldn't swallow this! After both sides agreed to a ceasefire, the Indian military made heavy remarks! On May 11th, according to TASS, an Indian Defense Ministry spokesman named Ragu Nair stated that the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force were fully prepared to resolutely respond to any escalation of actions by Pakistan. I emphasize once again, although we will abide by today's agreement, the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force will still be fully prepared, and the Indian military will firmly retaliate against "every adventure" by Pakistan."

Clearly, even after initially agreeing to the ceasefire, the Indian military's attitude remains very tough. Why is the Indian military making such statements? It is likely because the current Indian government finds it very difficult to explain within India, thus they have no choice but to make strong declarations. In fact, the conflict between India and Pakistan has drawn global attention, and India's poor performance in the air battle has been widely discussed in international public opinion.

And to prevent related information from being known domestically in India, India even resorted to pressuring social platforms for account bans. Up until now, India still hasn't admitted that its fighter jets were shot down. Originally, India thought it had a crushing advantage over Pakistan, but ended up being thoroughly defeated by Pakistan. Only after Pakistan completely gained air superiority did India realize that escalating the situation would only result in greater losses, forcing them to seek peace.

Experts have stated that if India had been in a dominant position, it would not have reached a ceasefire so quickly. Now that India has reached a ceasefire, the hardest part for India is how to wrap things up and calm domestic sentiment. Beating Pakistan is out of the question, and domestic emotions are running high, which undoubtedly causes the Modi government great headaches. Now the Indian military has no choice but to talk tough. However, the Indian military undoubtedly knows deep down that in the coming years, or even over a decade, India may not want to engage in direct conflicts with Pakistan.
