đ¨ Tensions Soar as India Deploys Warships Armed With Supersonic Missiles Toward PakistanâWhatâs Next?
Amid escalating cross-border clashes between the nuclear-armed rivals, India has mobilized a high-stakes naval forceâwarships equipped with Brahmos supersonic cruise missilesâtoward Pakistanâs coastline. In a dramatic show of force, New Delhi has repositioned its western naval fleet into the northern Arabian Sea, placing critical Pakistani cities, including its economic hub Karachi, firmly within missile range.
The advanced strike group, now stationed 300-400 miles off Pakistanâs coast, includes an aircraft carrier, destroyers, frigates, and anti-submarine warfare ships. Key vessels are armed with the Brahmos missile, co-developed with Russia, which packs a 300kg explosive payload and can strike targets up to 500 miles away at blistering Mach 3 speedsâthree times the speed of sound.
Why This Matters:
Karachi, Pakistanâs largest port and financial nerve center, now lies in the crosshairs.
The Brahmos missileâs precision and speed leave little room for defensive countermeasures.
The move marks a dangerous escalation after weeks of skirmishes along the disputed Kashmir border.
As both nations edge closer to a flashpoint, the world watches: Is this a strategic deterrent or a prelude to conflict? đđĽÂ The stakes have never been higher.
