The question now, analysts say, is whether the two sides will claim victory as Pakistan asserts that it downed Indian jets and gauges the toll of India’s strikes.According to analysts, the question at hand is whether both sides will declare victory in the aftermath of the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Pakistan claims to have shot down Indian jets and is assessing the damage caused by India’s strikes. For two weeks, India had been promising a strong response to a terrorist attack that it blamed on Pakistan. The only uncertainty was the extent of the retaliation. In the early hours of Wednesday, India launched airstrikes on multiple targets in Pakistan, while the Pakistani military attempted to shoot down the Indian planes. By the end of the day, both sides claimed to have achieved their objectives and were ready to escalate the conflict further. India’s strikes were deeper and more extensive than ever before, causing significant damage and casualties. However, there were reports that Pakistan had also inflicted serious damage, with two or three Indian planes being shot down. This was a situation that India had hoped to avoid, as they had faced a similar embarrassment in 2019 during a previous military exchange with Pakistan.
