Indian Navy also joined in! After missile attacks and drone strikes, India's navy has also gotten involved! According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News on May 9, Russian media stated that in the early hours of May 9, the Indian Navy began operations against multiple targets within Pakistan in the Arabian Sea. India claimed this was due to Pakistan attempting to launch a missile attack on the Jammu and Kashmir region, which is considered a serious escalation, prompting India's navy to retaliate.
Clearly, after both sides' armies have been exchanging artillery fire at the border, launching missile air raids, engaging in aerial combat with fighter jets, and drones starting to strike, India is further escalating the situation and elevating the conflict to a naval confrontation. From India's actions, following the downing of several aircraft, it seems they are not willing to let this go, thus seeking to escalate tensions to regain face.
However, if India continues to escalate the situation, there may only be two possible outcomes. First, the larger the scale of the conflict between India and Pakistan, the more it will impact India's economy, making its goal of "Make in India" even more distant. Second, constrained by Pakistan's economic capabilities, if Pakistan had previously hesitated about purchasing military equipment from China, then India is effectively removing this obstacle for Pakistan to acquire Chinese military equipment.
From our perspective, we do not wish for the conflict between India and Pakistan to escalate further, but if it provides an opportunity to see Chinese equipment tested in actual combat, we can only suppress our laughter. Pakistan has already purchased our 054 frigates equipped with 32 vertical launch systems, just waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate their effectiveness. If India continues to escalate the situation, there is a possibility that the 054 will also get a chance to make an appearance, following the J-10C and HQ-9B.
