Pakistan’s strong and calculated military response to Indian aggression has not only stunned New Delhi but captured the attention and respect of international media outlets, many of which are now highlighting Islamabad’s strategic and tactical superiority on the battlefield.
According to the BBC, India’s war strategy has failed to achieve its objectives while Pakistan has demonstrated clear military dominance. The broadcaster reported that India could not deliver a decisive blow, and despite spending billions on its air force, Pakistan’s aerial capabilities proved to be a significant challenge.
The UK’s Telegraph praised Pakistan’s effective defense strategy and raised critical questions about the performance of India’s air force, particularly the advanced Rafale jets. Calling the destruction of these aircraft a “humiliating defeat,” the Telegraph noted that Pakistan Air Force (PAF) not only asserted air superiority but also demonstrated exceptional operational precision. It was reported that PAF jets successfully shot down five Indian warplanes using advanced air-to-air missile systems, marking a historic and embarrassing loss for the Indian military.
Al Jazeera highlighted that for the first time in combat history, Rafale jets were destroyed, drawing attention to Pakistan’s growing air combat prowess.
Military analysts have also weighed in, confirming that Pakistan inflicted heavy damage on Indian military camps and airbases. Following the retaliation, India reportedly reached out to the United States in hopes of finding a diplomatic solution, signaling the pressure it faced post-strike.
Defense experts concluded that Pakistan has proven its capability to fully respond to any Indian military misadventure. They emphasized that Islamabad continues to maintain air and military superiority in South Asia, reinforcing its role as a key player in regional peace efforts.
