“Pakistan has massive missile arsenal,” admit Indian media and analysts after devastating strikes

Following Pakistan’s powerful retaliatory strikes under Operation Bunyān al-Marsūs on the morning of May 10, Indian media and defence analysts have openly admitted that Pakistan possesses a vast and formidable missile stockpile.

The operation targeted multiple high-value military sites across India, including airbases in Udhampur, Adampur, Pathankot, Bathinda, and Sirsa. Additionally, the Uri supply depot and several military checkpoints were reportedly destroyed.

The aftermath triggered shockwaves in Indian newsrooms and across social media. Viral video clips showed TV anchors reacting in panic and disbelief. One anchor remarked, “We were told Pakistan would only use such missiles in the final stages—but they’re being used right from the start.”

Defence experts echoed similar concerns, noting that Pakistan’s offensive was not just aimed at destroying military infrastructure but also designed to expose vulnerabilities in India’s air defence system. The precision and scale of the strikes have now raised serious questions about India’s strategic preparedness and defensive planning.
