The article discusses the implications of Iran potentially using drones against Pakistan, especially in the context of past military operations between India and Pakistan.
The article reflects on a brief but intense conflict in 2025 called Operation Sindoor, during which India successfully launched targeted strikes using advanced cruise and ballistic missiles like BrahMos against Pakistani terror bases and airbases. Despite Pakistan's air defense systems including HQ-9, LY-80, and FM-90, they proved ineffective against India's high-speed missiles, resulting in successful attacks on 11 airbases and bypassing Pakistan's defenses. This operational success raises questions about future military scenarios, particularly the potential use of Iranian drones, such as the Shahed-136, which are cheaper, slower, yet more numerous, presenting a different kind of challenge to Pakistan's defense.
