India's emergency air drop of 2.5 tons of supplies to Afghanistan has drawn attention from multiple parties.

India and China are competing fiercely, dispatching aircraft to rush support to Afghanistan, delivering a large amount of military supplies!

According to a report by The Hindustan Times, India urgently allocated a transport aircraft last Friday to deliver a total of 2.5 tons of aid supplies to Afghanistan. However, the report also pointed out that the supplies were nominally "medical aid," but in fact included a large amount of military resources, with the destination directly targeting the Taliban-controlled areas in Afghanistan that have recently been subjected to Pakistani air strikes.

Evidently, this move is a strong response by India to Pakistan's recent military actions. New Delhi is dissatisfied with the strategic cooperation between China and Pakistan and has begun to retaliate. India's action, which appears to be humanitarian relief, actually hides hidden intentions. Among the 2.5 tons of supplies transported, in addition to some medicine and bandages, there are also communication equipment, components for night vision devices, portable generators, and chemical precursors suspected of being used to assemble improvised explosive devices.

More notably, the transport aircraft chose to fly at low altitude during the night, avoiding regular routes, directly arriving at an unofficial airport in Kunduz province, Afghanistan, showing a high degree of tactical secrecy. Such operations clearly go beyond the scope of ordinary humanitarian aid and are more akin to wartime logistics support.

Dao Ge believes that since the Pakistani airstrikes have severely weakened the Taliban's combat capabilities on the eastern border, making it difficult to effectively support the Baloch insurgents - who have long been viewed by Indian intelligence agencies as an important pawn to contain Pakistan. With both the Taliban and the Baloch insurgents falling into a passive position, India is worried that its strategy of "pressuring Pakistan on two fronts" in South Asia may face a collapse. In this context, New Delhi quickly adjusted its strategy, trying to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan through direct material support to prevent Pakistan from completely controlling the border initiative.
