General Sahir Shamshad Mirza has hailed Pakistan-China friendship as “higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, and stronger than steel”.
General Mirza discussed the recent military confrontation with India and said that Pakistan used all of its national might, from cyber capabilities to air and space capabilities, to protect its sovereignty.
He highlighted the role of Pakistan’s cutting-edge fighter jets particularly the JF-17 Thunder and J-10C aircraft being made with Chinese assistance that greatly contributed to the operational victory.
“We used all of our capabilities, including the air, space, and cyber domains, in the fight with India,” he said.
Conducting a multi-domain operation had a synergistic effect. To achieve operational success, the JF-17, J-10C, and PL-15 fighter jets and missiles were essential.
He went on to say that “full spectrum dominance was there, all tools of conflict — AI, advanced warfare, cyber, aircraft, missiles were all synergised” .
He cautioned that the crisis had raised the possibility of future escalation.
Few days ago General Sahir Shamshad Mirza told that Pakistan and India were on the verge of bringing the force build-up along their border down to levels seen prior to the confrontation between the nuclear-armed neighbors this month.
Before a truce was declared, four days of the worst fighting in decades took place, with both sides using fighter jets, missiles, drones, and artillery.
An incident in Indian-occupied Kashmir on April 22 that claimed 26 lives, the most of them tourists, served as the impetus for the most recent conflict between the longtime adversaries.
