Chapter 561: War Suspicions
In the face of the Indian side's cross-border strike, which caused serious casualties to the Pakistani side, the Pakistani side immediately lodged a strong protest to the Indian side, protesting against the Indian army's crossing of the border into Pakistan from Kashmir. As for the escalation of the border situation, all responsibility should be borne by the Indian side.
The Indian side, in turn, condemned the actions of the Pakistani air force as an aggression against India's territory and airspace, and the expansion of the border situation between the two countries, which is the inevitable result of Pakistan's long-term connivance with Indian-controlled Muslim separatist terrorist groups in Indian-controlled Kashmir, and the Indian side demanded that Pakistan take concrete measures to crack down on the Kashmiri Muslim armed groups proposed by the Indian side in order to calm the tense situation in the region.
A large number of Pakistani people took to the streets, angrily condemning India's despicable and shameless acts of aggression and demanding that the government take retaliatory measures to protect the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty and dignity.
In the face of the imminent conflict between India and Pakistan, the international community reacted, and at the request of Pakistan, the UN Security Council convened a relevant meeting to discuss the recent situation between India and Pakistan.
Russia, which has always had close relations with India, only vaguely expressed regret over the latest round of military conflict between India and Pakistan. On the European side, although some countries are also more sympathetic to the Pakistani side that has been shot while lying down, in view of the fact that the United States has taken a fairly clear position in favor of the Indian side this time, in addition to France's limited support for the Pakistani side, Britain has followed closely to express its support for the US position, while Germany and Italy have been silent to say that they have important economic interests and energy dependence in the Arab and Muslim worlds.
Only Muslim countries in the Arab world and China have sternly condemned India's cross-border attack as a naked violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, and demanded that India immediately stop its corresponding actions and return to the path of resolving the conflict through political negotiations.
Seeing such a reaction from the international community, the Indian side was even more satisfied, believing that it had received a lot of help, and the military hawks even began to secretly formulate an ambitious plan, preparing to launch an attack on Pakistani-administered Kashmir if they had the opportunity, crush the main force of the Pakistani army, and seize the entire Kashmir.
Don't look at the Indian Air Force Chief of Staff Will immediately complain at the meeting on the purchase of the F-35, saying that they have only put less than 15 squadrons of third-generation fighters on the Western Front, but 12 of these 15 squadrons are SU-30MKI and EuroRafale third-generation semi-advanced fighters, and 3 squadrons are the early MiG-29 and Mirage-2000.
Compared to the 15 JF-17 squadrons, 3 F-16 squadrons (one of which is the more advanced fighter of the F-16C/D model Block 50/52) and 6 J-10 squadrons (of which only 3 squadrons are J-10B), this air power is only strong but not weak, not to mention that they will soon have to add 2 to 3 F-16C/D squadrons to the Western Front.
Verma's complaint is more about the enormous pressure brought by the Chinese Dragon in the north, especially confirming that China has begun to deploy J-20 and J-21 fourth-generation fighters, although the first phase of China's fourth-generation fighter deployment may not be aimed at India.
After all, Verma believes that no matter how strong China's relations with Pakistan are, it is unlikely that it will be able to send its latest fighter planes to Pakistan, not to mention that Chinese air force pilots may not be able to master various tactics of this new generation of fighters in such a short time.
In contrast, the Indian Air Force's purchase of F-35s from the US military can also directly learn the tactical tactics of the fourth-generation fighters that the US Air Force has accumulated for many years, and this is also a major purpose for the Indian side to be willing to spend a lot of money and endure the US side's tying in the sale of obsolete second-hand fighters.
The Indian Air Force has rich experience in the use of third-generation aircraft, anyway, they have always had the title of the arsenal of all nations, for the F-16 similar to the European fighter, I believe it can quickly adapt, but in the face of the upcoming T-50, the Indian Air Force does not have much accumulation, so that the various tactics learned from the US military on the F-35 fighter are precious.
The third brother is not for nothing sometimes, at least now the international environment they are facing is much more ideal than China, and it is convenient to obtain some advanced things, and send them to see the country, if it were not for the demonic genius of Duke, we may not be able to catch up with the international advanced level so quickly and become one of the world's top aero engines, so that our fourth-generation fighters can successfully complete R&D investment and production.
This goes a bit far, and back to the point, it is not surprising that when the Indian army is faced with the current favorable political and military environment, it is not surprising that the hawks in the Indian army breed some bolder ideas.
Judging from the various reactions of the United States, strategists within the Indian side say that if the military can quickly destroy the military strength of the Pakistani side and occupy the entire territory of Kashmir in one fell swoop, then it should be very possible to win the support or acquiescence of the United States after accomplishing this strategic goal.
It is very likely that the United States imposed severe sanctions on Pakistan's nuclear test, not only canceling its original military aid to Pakistan, but also imposing various sanctions such as a high-tech embargo on Pakistan, which caused Pakistan to suffer huge losses.
The U.S. side is completely looking at the double standard of India and Pakistan's different attitudes toward China, and Indian strategists believe that if Kashmir can be quickly occupied, it is believed that this time will not be an exception.
Therefore, the Indian side began to formulate this grand plan very secretly, and the most important thing for them was to act quickly, to quickly defeat the main force of the Pakistani army in Kashmir and achieve actual control before the Chinese side made a strong reaction.
As long as the United States is willing to provide weapons to India, the Indian military believes that even if China makes any moves, it will not be afraid at that time, after all, the Chinese military will not be able to send a large-scale army to support Pakistan like Vietnam and North Korea, not to mention that the Indian army does not want to occupy other territories of Pakistan to make itself passive.
