Two week's of optics:
Thus far Pakistan has pound for pound countered Indian muscle flexing and posturing leveraging the full spectrum of diplomatic, military, info-sphere and cyber3 to its advantage:
India leveraged its immense digital and print media influence to build anti-Pakistani narrative shortly after the incident. Indian social media paid bots farms were mobilised to rapidly spread synthetic misinformation which was quickly exposed to be false:
India failed dramatically at narrative building due to a number of reasons, one of them being a very active and well coordinated digital information campaign from Pakistan rebuking these assertions:
*****************************************************************************************
On the military front - following on from 2019 India invested heavily in the Dassault Aviation Rafale fighter as a deterrent and counter to Pakistan Airforce Airforce assets.
Pakistan shocked international observers by revealing an this image of a Pakistan Airforce JF17 armed with PL-15 missiles and short range PL-10 missiles in a clear rebuke to Indian posturing.

*****************************************************************************************
India recalled it's most advanced aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, reflecting a broader strategic posture aimed at power projection and regional rebalancing.

Pakistan quietly pointed towards its standoff anti ship capabilities by sharing an image on social media of its SMASH Anti-Ship ballistic missile

SMASH missile (internally called as P282) substantially boosts the Pakistan Navy’s offensive and defensive reach and A2/AD (Anti Access-Area Denial) capabilities.
*****************************************************************************************
In clear case of provocation and sabre-rattling on Sunday 27th April 2025 just five days after the incident in Pahalgam, the Indian navy test fired several missiles "showcasing the readiness and capability of its platforms"

On May 2nd Pakistan responded with successfully conductinf a training launch of the surface-to-surface ballistic missile “Abdali,” which is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads up to a range of 450 kilometres. [Source: ISPR]

Pakistan has thus far behaved as a responsible nuclear armed nation and neighbour, inviting India to come to the negotiation table and discuss differences, overtures which have so far been rebuffed by the war mongering GODI government.
