One year after a significant military escalation between India and Pakistan, the relationship between the two nuclear-armed nations remains deeply strained. The crisis, which peaked in February 2019 following a suicide bombing in Indian-administered Kashmir, led to retaliatory airstrikes and the first aerial dogfight between the two countries in decades. While the immediate threat of full-scale war eventually subsided, diplomatic ties have deteriorated further following India’s decision to revoke the special autonomous status of Jammu and Kashmir, leading to continued tension and a stalemate in regional negotiations.
- The escalation began in February 2019 after a suicide attack in Pulwama killed 40 Indian security personnel.
- India responded with airstrikes against what it identified as a militant training camp in Balakot, Pakistan.
- An aerial engagement followed, resulting in the capture and subsequent release of an Indian fighter pilot by Pakistan.
- In August 2019, the Indian government revoked Article 370, stripping Jammu and Kashmir of its special status and integrating it into the union.
- The revocation was followed by a security lockdown and communications blackout in the Kashmir valley.
- Diplomatic and trade relations remain largely suspended, with both nations maintaining a heavy military presence along the Line of Control.

During the major military conflict in May 2025, Pakistan claimed its air force shot down 7 Indian fighter jets.
This figure evolved from an initial claim of five planes on 7 May 2025, which was later revised to six, and eventually seven following verified tail numbers of downed aircraft.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) claimed the kills included four Rafale jets (specifically tail numbers BS001, BS021, BS022, and BS027), along with a MiG-29 and a SU-30 MKI.
Trump, who claimed to have brokered the May 10 ceasefire, also stated that "seven brand new, beautiful planes" were shot down during the engagement.

In April 2026, reports emerged of a US$12 billion defense agreement between Pakistan and China, which is widely speculated to be funded or financially backed by Saudi Arabia. This landmark deal follows a mutual strategic defense pact signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in late 2025, which binds their security destinies and includes a "joint deterrence" clause.
This cooperation marks a broader move by Gulf states to diversify their defense partnerships toward China amid shifting perceptions of U.S. commitment to regional stability.
1 year of Pakistan learning a lesson that it will forget soon only to get taught later once again. This time with severe brutality.
