Recently, the conflict between India and Pakistan has escalated again, and fierce fighting has broken out. Pakistan accused India of violating the Kashmir ceasefire agreement by attacking targets in Pakistan, resulting in many casualties among Pakistani troops and civilians. The Pakistani military also fought back, killing and wounding several Indian servicemen, including Indian front-line commanders.
At the same time, the United States announced that it will sell the IADWS integrated air defense weapon system to India, a deal estimated at $1.87 billion. In addition, Trump plans to announce more arms deals during his visit to India, including Apache helicopters and P8 maritime surveillance aircraft, worth a total of $3 billion.
These arms deals show that the United States is supporting India, and India's unilateral tearing up of the Kashmir ceasefire agreement and taking the initiative to launch attacks on Pakistani-controlled Kashmir makes India appear extremely arrogant. The reason why India is so confident, backed by the United States, puts Pakistan at a disadvantage.
India's purchase of advanced air-to-air missiles threatens Pakistan's Thunder Dragon warfare apparatus, making India's war intentions more apparent. India is well prepared for this, strengthening its military presence on its northern border and shifting its focus to the Pakistani side to achieve its goals in disputed territory.
However, rising tensions between Pakistan and India could spell great disaster for the region and the world. Friction between the two sides increases the risk of a large-scale war in Kashmir, which will not only endanger regional stability, but also affect the international community.
