Indian media in panic over Pakistan’s Military Counterstrike and Missile Dominance

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Indian news channels have entered a state of visible panic following Pakistan’s powerful and strategic military counteroffensive.

After India’s initial attacks on key airbases in Pakistan, Islamabad responded with a calculated and aggressive strike that exposed serious weaknesses in India’s defense preparedness.

Pakistan Hits Key Indian Military Targets

According to reports, Pakistan has successfully targeted several vital Indian airfields, including Udhampur, Adampur, Pathankot, Bathinda, and Sirsa. Strategic military assets such as the Uri supply depot and multiple forward check posts have also been destroyed in precision-guided strikes. The scale and speed of Pakistan’s response have shocked analysts and media across India.

Viral Video Shows Shocked Indian Anchor

A video from a prominent Indian news channel has gone viral, showing the sheer disbelief among Indian media personalities. In the clip, a visibly anxious anchor questions how Pakistan managed to deploy such powerful missile systems so early in the conflict. The anchor admits that they expected Pakistan to use its more advanced capabilities only in the later stages of a confrontation.

Defense Expert Issues Stern Warning

The defense analyst featured in the broadcast calmly reminded viewers that he had long warned of Pakistan’s vast and advanced missile reserves. He stressed that Pakistan’s arsenal includes weapons that India is not fully prepared to counter—an alarming revelation for a nation that often prides itself on military superiority.

Indian Superiority Narrative Crumbles

For years, Indian media and officials have promoted the narrative that India holds military dominance over Pakistan, especially in terms of firepower and technology. However, Pakistan’s rapid and accurate missile strikes have significantly damaged that belief. Indian media, which once spoke confidently about India’s strategic edge, is now expressing doubt and concern.

Emotional Shift in Media Tone

The psychological impact of Pakistan’s retaliation is clearly visible. News anchors, once bold and assertive, now appear overwhelmed and defensive. Many broadcasts now focus on Pakistan’s missile strength, with one phrase being frequently repeated:
“Pakistan ke paas missile ka bahut bada stock hai”
(Translation: Pakistan has a massive missile stockpile).
