Islamabad: Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has issued a stern warning to India, cautioning against any misadventure or attempts to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty. His statement makes it clear that any violation of territorial integrity will be met with a swift and resolute response. The field marshal emphasized that past events such as Maarka e Haq and Operation Bunyan um Marsoos demonstrated Pakistan’s capability to respond effectively, leading to India’s surrender and subsequent request for a ceasefire with the help of the US.

According to Radio Pakistan, Brigadier (Retired) Haris Nawaz, a defense analyst, reiterated the field marshal’s points, emphasizing the importance of Pakistan’s well-trained and motivated military personnel. Nawaz noted that while India might have acquired advanced weaponry from various countries, the effectiveness of these machines ultimately depends on the operators, an area where he believes Indian forces fall short. He criticized the Indian military’s past actions and suggested t
hat Pakistan’s preparedness and training ensure readiness for any potential conflict.

Brigadier (Retired) Tipu Sultan, another defense analyst, echoed these sentiments, stating that wars are not solely won by modern weapons but by skilled and motivated individuals. Sultan highlighted Pakistan’s experience in war, particularly in combating terrorism, as a testament to its military prowess. He emphasized that despite India’s technologically advanced aircraft, Pakistan’s strategic and multi-dimensional operations have consistently caught India off guard, resulting in significant losses for the Indian side.

Dr. Muhammad Khan, an international relations expert, provided context to the field marshal’s statement. He explained that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s narrative regarding Operation Sindoor and the increase in India’s defense budget have prompted the field marshal’s warning. Khan suggested that Pakistan’s recent victories have bolstered its global credibility, contrasting with India’s diminishing si
gnificance on the world stage. He further noted that the QUAD alliance, intended to bolster India’s regional dominance, has failed to deliver, with the US retracting its support due to concerns over Indian leadership.
