Amidst escalating tensions following the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan plans to increase its defence budget by 18%. India, a major military power, spends significantly more but faces resource allocation challenges. With China’s support for Pakistan and its own growing military strength, India confronts a two-front challenge. Recent actions include ceasefire violations, mock drills, and nuclear modernization, highlighting the complex security landscape.

Operation Sindoor is India’s retaliatory measure to avenge the deaths of innocent civilians at the hands of Pakistan-trained terrorists.

Increased air traffic has also been observed in Srinagar, suggesting elevated alert levels on the Indian side.
