In response to India's Operation Sindoor launched against terrorists, Pakistan has lanched 'Bunyan-un-Marsoos'.
The term, Bunyan-un-Marsoos, means an 'firm foundation', but the irony is that the foundation appears to have shattered already.
In response to Pakistani drone and missile attacks on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, India struck at least three airbases in Pakistan. These airbases include Nur Khan airbase at Rawalpindi's Chaklala, Murid airbase in Chakwal district of Punjab, and Shorkot airbase in Punjab Jhang district. The Nur Khan airbase is next door to the Pakistani Army headquarters, the true seat of power in the country.

Bad news for Pakistan, China as India decides to boost IAF firepower with 97 more Tejas MK-1A fighters, deal is worth Rs.... Operation Sindoor has proved the prowess of the India Defence Force in front of the world. Now, India is planning to strengthen the IAF even more, advancing the country's self-reliance in defence manufacturing. For this, the Indian Government has approved Rs 67,000 crore deal for the procurement of 97 additional Tejas MK-1A fighter jets in the financial year 2026-27. This contract which is likely to be finalised by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), will strengthen the role of indigenously developed Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas fighter jet as the backbone of the IAF. As per a report published by Moneycontrol, the deal which is following the 48,000 crore contract which was signed back in February 2021 for 83 Tejas MK-1A jets, will induct a total of 180 fighter jets in the IAF fleet.
