In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India is poised to take significant countermeasures. The recent missile tests, naval exercises in the Arabian Sea, and the deployment of warships have left Pakistan in distress. Alarmed by India's military readiness, Pakistan has been indulging in hyperbolic public pronouncements. With limited arsenal control, Pakistani leaders and diplomats have resorted to issuing bizarre statements.
Pakistan Can’t Withstand More than Four Days
Recently, Russia's ambassador to Pakistan, Mohammed Khalid Jamali, absurdly threatened India with nuclear warfare, echoing past threats by other fearful officials like Pakistan’s Railway Minister Hanif Abbasi. Despite these threats, the truth is stark: Pakistan lacks the munitions for any prolonged engagement. Previous arms sales to Ukraine, spurred by financial necessity, further handicapped Pakistan’s defense production.

Pakistan, devoid of substantive weaponry, propagates the narrative of an impending Indian attack. This fear is evident in their relentless firing along the LoC for over ten days, signaling anxiety over potential Indian retaliation. India’s formidable military preparedness exacerbates these fears.
India’s Comprehensive Military Preparation
India is ready for decisive action against Pakistan. Excelling in the Arabian Sea, India’s missile tests are causing sleepless nights for Pakistan. Successful anti-ship and anti-missile tests underscore India’s naval prowess. Moreover, India has issued a resolute embargo on direct or indirect trade with Pakistan.

India’s focus remains on enhancing maritime defense, highlighted by meetings between defense chiefs and Prime Minister Modi. INS Surat, loaded with advanced weaponry, remains vigilant, capable of neutralizing submarines and enemy ships.
Warships on High Alert
On April 24, INS Surat successfully tested a medium-range surface-to-air missile during a drill in the Arabian Sea, prior to Pakistan Navy’s tests. The MR-SAM system is highly effective against surface-to-surface missiles and aerial threats. This landmark vessel proudly carries the name Surat, a city in Gujarat.

This defense agreement addresses urgent requirements by boosting air force preparedness in border areas. The western frontier with Pakistan will experience amplified missile strength through enhanced deployment.
Additionally, Prime Minister Modi has empowered the military to exercise autonomy in decision-making regarding time and targets, facilitating prompt retaliatory actions. Consequently, BSF units on the LoC are decisively countering Pakistani ceasefire violations, compelling Pakistan to grapple with further setbacks.
