Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

What’s the end game?
@Blain2 I think India miscalculated that:
1) They could win a 'skirmish' and Pak won't respond
2) or Indian action will cause internal disturbance and chaos in Pakistan.

They didn't mobilise the troops to the border, so Delhi didn't want war. I think they kept sending the drones and attacked our air bases from either of the above two, especially the 2nd.

Somebody in RAW gravely miscalculated that poor economy, political unrest and other wars mean it is the right time to attack Pak.
 
Fatah is not true ballistic missile but quasi-ballistic missile, and how do you know that india fired BMs on PAF bases? currently all is in fog of war
Because mere drones cannot reach that deep and into heavily defended airbases as Indian strikes did. And Pakistan simply would not resort to a weapon that would escalate the situation
 
NY Times has been covering the new Pope but finally a mid page about this.


India and Pakistan Edge Toward Full War as Attacks on Bases Are Reported​

Pakistan accused India of launching air-to-surface missiles that targeted at least three bases. Soon after, Pakistani officials said retaliatory action had begun.

India and Pakistan moved closer to all-out war early Saturday as the Pakistani military accused India of attacking at least three of its air bases, and then reported that it had retaliated by targeting Indian air bases and a missile storage site.

The reported exchange of strikes was a sharp escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors four days into an armed confrontation that began on Wednesday.

Pakistan said India had targeted its bases with air-to-surface missiles. Among the bases that came under attack, Pakistan said, was a key installation near the capital, Islamabad. Witnesses in Rawalpindi, a nearby garrison city, reported hearing at least three loud explosions near the Noor Khan air base, with one describing a “large fireball” visible from miles away.

“Now, you just wait for our response,” Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Pakistani military’s chief spokesman, said in a televised statement. He accused India of pushing the region toward a “dangerous war.”

Shortly after the reported Indian strikes, Pakistani officials said they had launched a retaliatory action targeting several locations in India that included the Udhampur and Pathankot air bases and a missile storage facility.

“An eye for an eye,” the Pakistani military said in a statement. It said it was calling its campaign against India “Operation Bunyan al-Marsus,” which means a firm and compact structure.

Local media also reported early Saturday that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had summoned a meeting of the National Command Authority — the nerve center of Pakistan’s nuclear command and strategic deterrence policy. Established in 2000, the body is chaired by the prime minister and includes senior civilian ministers and military chiefs.

After several days of shelling and drone attacks, India and Pakistan, old enemies, are engaged in their most expansive military conflict in decades. And they are using new tools of war to enhance their ability to attack and spy on each other.
 
What makes u assume this? Nothing they have done yet that can justify reaching the nuclear threshold.
we are at Stage 5.5. If either side start testing their BMs, then we are at 6. Tactical nukes are 7. City busters are 8.
