Eighty terrorists are killed in the past week following the third anniversary of the 27th February incident. And now, this time, they sent in a nuclear-capable missile in an apocalyptic gamble to test our Air Defense capabilities, military response, and the political & military will to confront India. DG ISPR did not claim to have been targeted, they are taking it as a test/trial launch gone awry.
In my opinion, a first-strike system coming 100 km into Pakistan represents a threat. No earlier than a week ago, the Indian Navy successfully test-fired an advanced version of the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile from a stealth destroyer in the Indian Ocean, BrahMos missile flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound.
This incident of a missile crash in Pakistan has created a lot of controversy with many opinions on the subject. After detailed research, this is what I have found out.
- It was a supersonic cruise missile, not a fighter jet or UAV.
- The Air Defense operation center of PAF tracked & monitored the missile from start within the Indian airspace.
- PAF initiated tactical and technical actions as per SOPs.
