The indian carrier returned to the sea only a few days after it had left the sea, and the pakistani media had leaked news of the arrival of “foreign aid” as people were speculating. What's the point of this information being released by the pakistani media? Where does this sudden foreign aid come from
As a result of the tense confrontation between india and pakistan, the pakistani media, the khyber post, reported that the turkish side had dispatched seven c-130 transport aircraft to various military bases in pakistan and had unloaded a large number of arms, including a variety of guided bombs that could be mounted on drones and a large number of portable anti-tank missiles。
"turkish transport."
Strong foreign aid in position. Pakistan versus india
Of course, the truth of this information has not yet been confirmed, and the media on both sides of the indian-palestinian divide is now taking shape through public opinion。
On the other side, for example, indian media have also reported that transport aircraft from the united states and israel have also sent large quantities of arms, including 155-mm artillery grenades, hellfire missiles and stabbing anti-aircraft missiles, which are equally doubtful。
However, two things are certain: first, that india and pakistan are still at a confrontational stage, and naturally will not lose their focus on public opinion; and second, that, on the pakistani side, the defence cooperation between turkey and pakistan is a powerful deterrent for india。
Indeed, in the current confrontation, the pakistan side is relatively vulnerable because of the long-standing strength of indian forces, which would directly alleviate pakistan's shortage of ammunition stockpiles and equipment if turkey did provide weapons。
For example, the supply of ammunition from the “flagged” drones is critical to pakistan's asymmetrical combat capability, and portable anti-tank missiles are suitable for rapid strikes against indian armoured units in the kashmir mountains and border areas。
The defense cooperation between pakistan has been very close
Of course, what is more important than these weapons and equipment is that the pakistani side needs a “strong foreign aid” on kashmir that is consistent with its position, a role that turkey can play。
Close defence cooperation between the two countries has long been maintained and there are many similarities in the geopolitical and strategic interests of the two countries。
For example, since the end of the cold war, pakistan has been confronted with arms embargoes from western countries, prompting it to seek other reliable military partners。
At the same time, turkey has experienced similar difficulties, particularly in the latter part of the twentieth century, when the international community imposed numerous sanctions on it, a common experience that has enabled the two countries to find a basis for cooperation in the military field。
There's a lot going on between the two sides
Turkey's support has multiple meanings, and india needs to take care of it before it does. Volume
For the turkish side, support for pakistan has many purposes, such as the rapid development of turkey's defence industry in recent years, which has become one of the world's leading arms exporters。
As an important strategic partner, pakistan has naturally become the ideal platform for turkey to demonstrate its military technical strength。
According to publicly available data, turkey is pakistan's second largest supplier of weapons, and this cooperative relationship is reflected not only in arms sales, but also in joint r & d, production and technology transfer。
Even the news that the two countries had for one time been cooperating in the development of the “khan” fifth generation fighter jet project was sufficient to see that the level and depth of cooperation between the two countries was far beyond imagination。
In addition, the two countries have signed agreements on cooperation in the areas of naval vessels, drones and aircraft, the implementation of which will further consolidate their defence partnership and lay the foundations for broader cooperation in the future。
More importantly, the unequivocal expression by turkish president erdoğan of his full support for the “brother country” of pakistan on kashmir is a clear signal。
For india, while there is a certain advantage in military strength, it is important to consider again whether to “do” to pakistan. Apart from its own military strength, potential supporters like turkey are important reasons。
This again highlights the flexibility of pakistan's foreign policy, which has always revolved around a central objective: to defend its interests in a complex subcontinent environment in south asia。
To that end, the palestinian side has adopted a balanced diplomatic strategy to find a balance between the different regional powers, centred on avoiding overdependence on a particular ally, thereby reducing potential risks。
For example, in the middle east and western asia region, pakistan views countries such as turkey and saudi arabia as ideological peers and collaborators。
By deepening its defence cooperation with such countries, pakistan has been able to achieve the following key objectives: first, to upgrade its own defence production capacity; secondly, to reduce its dependence on a single source of weapons; and thirdly, to enhance its voice in international affairs, which is the only way to keep the palestinian side on track。
We have a mutual interest in kashmir
India and pakistan are in power, but they don't want to fight
Looking back at the confrontation between india and pakistan during this period, it can be said that “you have a good plan and i have a bridge ladder”: indian carriers are sent to conduct maritime exercises; the indian side may launch a cross-border air strike, the palestinian side will show how the 10ce and the coroner are patrolling its airspace; the indian side claims that the united states has brought arms and the palestinian side is in position to promote turkish arms。
This suffices to see that, in the information age, public opinion propaganda plays an important role in international relations and that its coverage sometimes goes beyond a mere message-transmitting function and carries a clear strategic intent。
In the case of india, the publication of relevant information on united states military transport aircraft may be aimed at demonstrating to the outside world its strong logistical capability, which can deter potential rivals as well as enlist the support of the international community in trying to shape an “unshakeable” image。
India and pakistan are avoiding direct conflict
Similarly, pakistan’s choice to open turkey’s military assistance has a similar purpose, on the one hand, to boost domestic morale and convince the population of the government’s ability to protect national security, and, on the other, to send a signal to the international community that pakistan is not alone even in the face of challenges。
In the final analysis, however, is it because the two sides are so active in propagating the momentum, or because they do not want to really trigger a conflict, not only by the nuclear powers, but also by the military power, and without a cleavage。
In the event of a conflict, the fighting between india and pakistan is bound to be long and costly, which is critical for all of the major economic cooperation projects. The parties to be launched need to do their utmost to avoid it。
However, due to the complexity and acuteness of the kashmir issue, with too many uncertainties, and especially the indian approach to controlling upstream water sources, the core interests of pakistan have been deeply touched, and the bpp has even spoken directly to india, releasing the harsh words “you break our water, i will stop your breathing”, which suggests that it is necessary for both india and pakistan to work together to manage risks。
