Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that capabilities of the Pakistan’s armed forces are globally recognized and admired following crushing response to the Indian aggression.

In an interview with a private news channel, the defence minister said Pakistan’s strong response has left India disappointed and their arrogant posture reduced to nothing but dust.

Khawaja Asif stated that India’s policymakers have been compelled to reassess their policies in light of Pakistan’s strong response.

When asked about potential talks, the minister emphasized that Pakistan would prioritize three major issues of contention including Indus Waters Treaty, Kashmir and terrorism which need to be resolved to ensure peace in the region.

Professionalism acknowledged

Pakistan’s decisive response to Indian aggression has garnered global recognition.

Global media and international defence experts have acknowledged the professionalism, valour, and determination of Pakistan's armed forces.

According to BBC, Pakistan demonstrated military superiority over India, while latter's strategy was an utter failure. It further reported that India failed to deliver a decisive blow, and billions of dollars spent by New Delhi failed to yield any benefit. It also recognized that Pakistan’s airpower posed a significant challenge for India.

The Telegraph commended Pakistan’s effective defensive strategy and raised serious questions about Indian fighter jets. It described the destruction of advanced Indian aircraft like the Rafale as a “humiliating defeat” for India, declaring the Pakistan Air Force the undisputed King of the skies.

The Telegraph further reported that Pakistani jets used advanced air-to-air missiles to shoot down five Indian warplanes. By downing expensive Indian jets like the Rafale, Pakistan not only proved its air superiority but also astonished military experts worldwide.

Al Jazeera reported that for the first time in history Rafale jets were destroyed.

Similarly, defence analysts acknowledged the heavy damage Pakistan inflicted on Indian military camps and airbases. They noted that following Pakistan’s attack, India reached out to the United States, requesting diplomatic intervention to secure a ceasefire.

Experts asserted that the facts confirm Pakistan's capability to fully respond to any Indian aggression and maintain its air and military superiority in pursuit of regional peace.
