Pakistan with all its fault at this juncture it seems is being used for Indian internal politics.Plus the air war seemed less between IAF & PAF and more between Russian manufacturers, French & U.S suppliers who are vying for $ 20 billion Indian market.
This was like a near miss air accident, if that does not sound unduly alarmist. Did Pakistan really need to send 24 aircraft in a shallow penetration of the LoC to tell us that they have the will, power and ability to respond to a strike like Balakot. For that matter, was it really a shock or a revelation to them that Mirage 2000s could perform the task that they did. 2. If India and Pakistan were talking to each other in a more structured way, these are some of the things they could discuss. Where the red lines are, what the response will be. To that extent, PM Imran Khan sounding a note of caution on “ miscalculations “. Is right. There should be safer ways for both countries to understand the point beyond which an action will lead to a dangerous reaction.
