A British journalist has said India must now accept that Pakistan’s air power is stronger, following a ceasefire announced by US president.
Anberson Uther John, the BBC’s South Asia Regional Editor, said India can claim of launched attacks despite Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities.
He stated that India’s multi-billion-dollar defence buildup failed to deliver results, as Pakistan’s air force overwhelmed Indian military targets in response to unprovoked aggression.
“India had a plan to inflict heavy, perhaps irreversible, damage on Pakistan, but that plan has clearly failed,” he said in his broadcast.
Pakistan’s operation targeted and destroyed key Indian military sites, prompting India to agree to a ceasefire after suffering significant losses, the journalist added.
He joined CNN’s Nick Robertson in recognising that Pakistan’s swift and calculated missile response changed the dynamics of the regional conflict.
The operation, named Bunyan-um-Marsoos, meaning “iron wall,” aimed to protect Pakistan’s sovereignty and deter future attacks.
The British journalist concluded that India can no longer ignore Pakistan’s growing defence capabilities.
