ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan had real-time knowledge of Indian Army’s movements during Operation Sindoor, underscoring the military’s preparedness and vigilance, security experts said in a statement on Friday.
The revelation came after Indian Deputy Army Chief Lt General Rahul Singh admitted India’s military defeat in the operation, further complicating India’s already failed attempt to cover up its humiliation.
Lt Gen Singh’s statement, made two months after the operation’s failure, included baseless accusations against Pakistan, claiming that its success was the result of foreign support from China and Turkey.
However, security experts rejected these allegations, instead reaffirming that Pakistan’s victory was achieved entirely through its own strength.
“Pakistan’s security forces were fully aware of Indian fighter jet movements in real-time, right from the moment they switched on their engines on the air bases,” they stated. “We have been preparing for decades to counter India, and we don’t need external support to track their actions,” they added.
Lt Gen Singh also revived the contradictory narrative about the downing of Indian Rafale jets, an issue that has been surrounded by confusion and conflicting reports.
Security experts refuted this false narrative, saying “Pakistan fought on its own strength, utilising its own intelligence, and the victory was achieved through professionalism and skill, not external support,” they added.
Furthermore, the Indian deputy army chief ‘s claim that Pakistan used Chinese equipment during the operation was also ridiculed.
“It is absurd for India to accuse Pakistan of using foreign equipment when India itself uses weapons and systems from countries like France, Israel, the USA, and Russia,” they remarked.
“Did Pakistan ever claim that France, Israel, or Russia were fighting alongside India? This argument only highlights the immaturity of India’s military leadership,” experts added.
Security experts also pointed out that wars are won not just by weapons, but by those who wield them. “Pakistan’s armed forces are the most professional in the region. Unlike India, which often focuses on theatrics, Bollywood-style war mongering, and jingoism, Pakistan has focused on building the most professional military in the region, specifically trained to counter India’s aggression,” they said.
Addressing India’s foreign policy failures, they stressed that Pakistan has nurtured strong, brotherly relationships with China and Turkey, while India has alienated potential allies. “India’s failed policies have only made enemies across the region, while Pakistan has gained world wide recognition through its diplomacy and competence at all fronts,” they noted.
In conclusion, Lt Gen Singh’s admission has confirmed that Operation Sindoor was an utter failure, built on lies and contradictions.
“Pakistan’s success in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos laid bare India’s military weaknesses and exposed the gap between India’s aspirations and its actual capabilities,” experts said. “India’s dream of being a regional bully or a so-called ‘net security provider’ has been shattered,” they added.
They reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to seeking peace with India and the resolution of all outstanding issues through dialogue.
However, security experts issued a stern warning: “Let there be no doubt that if India ever attempts any misadventure against Pakistan, our response will be swift and brutal. India will spend the next decade justifying its humiliating defeat, once again, at the hands of Pakistan, Insha’Allah.”
They went on to say, “Next time, Pakistan will not only target east to west, but also west to east. All of India’s economic hubs, industrial centres, tech hubs, data centers, ports, and commerce clusters will be part of the military-economic targeting by missiles, long-range munitions, and air assets. We are not interested in targeting population centers, as the Indian deputy army chief suggested, but we will definitely suck the economic life out of India.”
Experts concluded by reaffirming Pakistan’s military strength and readiness: “Pakistan’s armed forces are the most professional in the region. We are prepared for any eventuality and capable of defending our borders without foreign assistance.”
Drone programme
New Delhi will launch a INR20 billion ($234 million) programme for three years that will cover manufacture of drones, components, software, counter drone systems, and services, two government and one industry source, who did not want to be named, told Reuters.
Details of the programme have not been previously reported and its planned expenditure is higher than the modest Rs1.2 billion production-linked incentive scheme New Delhi launched in 2021 to promote drone start-ups, which have struggled to raise capital and invest in research.
India’s civil aviation ministry, which is leading the incentives programme, and defence ministry did not immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment.
