*Ten Takeaways from this 18-day standoff, brief conflict and ceasefire*
1. Pakistan gained an upper hand in international diplomacy.
2. Pakistan exhibited conventional superiority in all three services; shattering the international belief that India has an upper hand in a conventional war. *IN DEFENCE*: 5 IAF planes were shot down in a battle with 82 IAF vs 42 PAF air battle. 80 Indian and Israeli made drones were shot down without getting our AD system exposed/ damaged (Indians SEAD/ CEAD Ops). Indian Navy is not a real threat, as they could not capitalize on their supposed superiority. *IN OFFENCE*: 26 Indian targets were hit by Pakistani drones and missiles. One battery of cutting edge S-400 air defence system was destroyed. Multiple army posts in Kashmir were destroyed by Pak Army.
3. The *Kashmir Issue* has again been internationalized; which India supposedly successfully buried in last 10-15 years. Testimony to this effect is *President Trump’s offer for 3rd party mediation to resolve this 1000 years old bone of contention*.
4. India and the *BJP Government could not keep up with their chest-thumping* objectives of capturing Azad Kashmir in 2-3 days, balkanization of Pakistan by disintegrating Balochistan and myth of punishing Pakistan at any time/ moment.
5. India’s longstanding desire and international posturing of becoming a *Vishwa Guru (World Leader) or at least a Regional Power* has been tarnished. The world has today again hyphenated India with Pakistan.
6. Pakistan’s *mainstream media and social media (youths)* came out on top with unison narrative building and gave a befitting but sane response to their Indian counterparts for the first time. Interestingly, *Indian mainstream media and known journalists lost their reputation* after airing extreme fake and jingoistic news.
7. More importantly, *Indian hegemonic desire to become regional Israel has been mutilated* and his efforts to create a new normal of violating international border in the aftermath of any false flag operation has been sunk into the abyss of Indian Ocean.
8. Pakistan put to the test his all-weather friends China and Türkiye; who vividly supported Pakistan.
9. *Pakistan emerged more strongly, responsible and a mature country* in comparison to India.
10. Lastly, *_we humbly thanks to Modi Jee….. As He simply redeemed our National pride, spirit, unity and International reputation in the last 2 weeks_*. He resurfaced the internationally lost hyphenated terminology of *Indo-Pak* from the garbage of *Afpak*. Alhamdullilah 🤲🏻
