ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing’s advanced fighter jet.
An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.
Finally we can fight about something other than the Israeli-Gaza conflict.
Nothing to fight about on that. The Zionists are committing a genocide against Palestinians because they want to steal their land.
I can see you’ve never come across Pakistani/Hindu nationalists online. My impressions so far are: they are angry, hate each other, lie like russians and tens (maybe even hundreds) of millions of them speak English. :D good luck
Oh, I know about a lot of these long term rivalries. It’s less clear which ones the liberal West will support in this case, though.
India. Pakistan is majority Muslim.
Sorry, I used “liberal” too liberally. The progressive West, then.
They’re both brown and follow religions that are in the minority in the West, even if massively popular in that region.
Still India. India is currently aiding in the destruction of too many industries in western economies to be treated as anything other than an ally; in short if the west treats India as hostile the companies that own the governments in the west start changing those governments.
Pakistan has been largely aligned with the west for the most part. Think they are again with Khan out as PM.
Pakistan is essentially the cornerstone of Xi’s Belt Road Initiative from the last decade. It’s India 100%.
Good point. Looks like my view is at least a decade out of date. Here I am thinking about how the West relied Pakistan in the Cold War while India was a regular customer of Russian arms exports.
I just looked for some actual recent data; now with the Russian weapons export business largely dead thanks to their three day invasion, India is sourcing most weapons imports from the US and France. Meanwhile over 80% of Pakistan’s imports are from China.
this is no conflict, Israel has been committing genocide since the Nakba
There is no Israel-Gaza conflict. Surely you’ve meant the Zionist genocide of Palestinians?
