Before Iran's airstrike, Pakistan Air Force boasted about its 'advanced capabilities'
Iran on Tuesday targeted two key strongholds of terror outfit Jaish al-Adl (known in Iran as Jaysh al-Dhulm) in the restive Balochistan province using "precision missile and drone strikes". The strike by Tehran inside Pakistani borders led to the death of two children.
It is pertinent to mention that the airstrike by Iran on targets inside Pakistan came just hours after the Pakistani Air Force boasted about its advanced capabilities in a video. The Pakistan Air Force claimed a ‘transformative modernization initiative to counter evolving threats, prioritizing the induction of modern systems through smart acquisitions and indigenization".
“A key milestone in this strategic transformation has been the acquisition of Fifth Generation Stealth fighter jets, the foundation of whose induction into the PAF has already been laid which will ensure an impregnable defense of the country,” the Pakistan Air Force stated as it announced acquisition of the J-10C fighter jets.
“The acquisition of J-10C fighter jets, Unmanned Aerial Systems, modern electronic warfare platforms, force multipliers, state-of-the-art integrated air defense systems, air mobility platforms, HIMADS, and hypersonic missile capabilities at an unprecedented pace has bolstered the PAF’s warfighting capabilities,” PAF added.

Hours later, Pakistan was bombed by Iran.
Meanwhile, Pakistan condemned Iran’s attack as a “unprovoked violation of its airspace” and vowed to “vehemently protest the violation of its sovereignty.” It is totally unacceptable, and it might have significant implications.”
