The recent successful test of a surface-to-air missile by INS Surat has highlighted India’s military readiness. In a show of strength, the Indian Air Force conducted ‘Exercise Aakraman’ involving Rafale jets, following a recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. This display of military prowess comes amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, with India taking the significant step of suspending the Indus treaty. In response, Pakistan has retaliated by suspending the Simla Agreement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated his commitment to taking decisive action against terrorists and their backers, emphasizing the need for a strong and unwavering response to such threats. The recent military exercises and missile tests serve as a clear message of India’s preparedness and determination to safeguard its national security interests.
