The blend of cultural elements with a modern fantasy narrative is expected to appeal to audiences across the country and even overseas.

Pakistan is terrified of Indian fighter jets, deploys powerful radar system in..., Is it effective enough to...?

Pakistan is terrified of Indian fighter jets, deploys powerful radar system in… Is it effective enough to…? Pakistan is in a panic situation about the possible retaliation from India following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which 26 people lost their lives. Anticipating a possible military action from the Indian Army, Islamabad has taken several strategic steps near the LoC. Amid all this, Pak has also increased firing on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir in recent weeks. As per a report by India Today it quoted sources, Pak has deployed its powerful radar system towards the forward posts in Sialkot sector so that it can detect the possible airstrike. Additionally, Pakistan's electronic warfare units have also been deployed opposite the Ferozepur sector so that Indian military activities can be monitored. Islamabad has also installed TPS-77 Multi-Role Radar (TPS-77 MRR) in Chor Cantonment, which is approx 58 km away from the International border. The radar system is specifically used for aerial surveillance. PM Modi's Strong Message, Pakistan Fears Retaliation Following the incident, Prime Minister Modi vowed to identify, locate, and punish all terrorists and their accomplices. This has led to concerns in Pakistan about a potential Indian military retaliation. India's armed forces are currently on high alert, with recent military exercises, including the 'Akman' drills involving Rafale and other fighter jets, showcasing the Indian Air Force's readiness. The Indian Navy has also demonstrated its preparedness for combat. How Strong Is Pakistan's Radar System Compared To Indian Fighter Planes? Pakistan's radar systems, particularly the CVLO and HQ-9, may be able to track stealth and non-stealth aircraft to some extent. But these radar systems are less effective against India's advanced radar and air defense systems (S-400, Virupaksha, EL/M-2052). India's Rafale and Su-30 MKI, are capable of penetrating these radar systems due to their advanced radar systems, stealth features. Strength Of Indian Fighter Jets Rafale: it is a 4.5th generation multirole jet with stealth features. It is loaded with advanced AESA radar, and Meteor missile (150 km range). Stealth and electronic warfare capabilities enable it to evade radars. Sukhoi-30 MKI: This fighter jet is upgraded with indigenous Virupaksha radar (DRDO) and 100 km range Astra-1 missile. It provides long range and heavy weapon capability. Tejas MK-1: It is a lightweight, multirole, equipped with advanced sensors and weapons.
