India and Pakistan's Crisis Means a New Arms Race
The recent India-Pakistan crisis challenges established narratives on crisis stability and escalation control in South Asia. The crisis began with India's airstrike in Pakistan following the Pulwama attack, aiming to establish a 'new normal' in its counterforce strategy. However, Pakistan's conventional response and deterrence capabilities, including air and naval engagements, effectively countered India's actions. The crisis also highlighted the evolving roles of third-party mediators, with the United States' influence as a crisis manager in South Asia diminishing in favor of Russia, China, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The events suggest a shift towards a pre-emptive counterforce posture by India and a re-evaluation of Pakistan's Full Spectrum Deterrence, leading to concerns over a new arms race in the region.

Pak drone eliminated TTP targets in Afghanistan
A Pakistani military drone conducted successful strikes on Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) hideouts in Afghanistan's Khost and Kunar provinces, marking the first such operation outside Pakistan. The strikes were in response to intelligence reports of TTP presence and recent terror attacks in Pakistan. Senior officials clarified that the operation was conducted from within Pakistani territory, denying any airspace violation. The Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan (IEA) was urged to address the TTP threat, as the targeted areas were inaccessible to Afghan authorities. Security experts expressed skepticism about trusting the IEA and emphasized the need for alternative strategies to combat terrorism.

Meteor missile deal to win back India's aerial supremacy
The Meteor missile, included in the Rafale combat deal signed by the Narendra Modi government, is set to reestablish the Indian Air Force's aerial supremacy over Pakistan and China. The European Meteor missiles, with a striking capability of nearly 150 km, are expected to be game changers. Historically, the Indian Air Force had superiority over Pakistan until the latter acquired AIM120-C5 missiles. The Meteor missiles, not part of the original Rafale deal, were included upon Modi's emergency procurement decision. India plans to integrate these missiles with Russian Su-30 combat planes. The Indian Air Force has contracted 36 Rafale planes, expected to arrive by early 2019, with deployment plans on both China and Pakistan fronts.
