The "third force" is to blame for fueling the conflict between India and Pakistan

The conflict between India and Pakistan is developing in the worst case scenario. This opinion was expressed by retired colonel Alexander Zhilin on the radio station Sputnik.



On the border of the two countries, an air battle took place between American F-16 fighters piloted by Pakistani pilots and Russian SU-30 MK, controlled by Indian pilots.

The NDTV channel reports that a total of 32 combat aircraft from both sides were in the sky in the conflict area. Pakistan took eight F-16 fighter jets, four France-made Mirage-3s, and four JF-17s created jointly by China and Pakistan. The Indian military deployed four “dryers,” two MiG-21s and two Mirage-2000s.

It became known that Pakistani pilots used several laser-guided bombs against Indian military targets along the demarcation line in Kashmir, almost destroying them.

Military expert Alexander Zhilin, head of the Center for the Study of Public Applied Issues of National Security, believes that although neither India nor Pakistan are interested in the conflict escalating into full-scale hostilities, they have to be extremely harsh.

In addition, according to Zhilin, the “third force”, which actively “throws logs into this conflict,” is engaged in heating the situation. Whom the expert had in mind, he did not specify.
