Officials hailed it as a step under \u201cMake-in-India,\u201d but observers noted its timing fits neatly into India\u2019s post-Sindoor procurement spree, where contracts are being rushed through with multiple international suppliers \u2014 Russia, France, Israel, the UK, and now Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, the Border Security Force (BSF) inaugurated a \u201cSchool of Drone Warfare\u201d in Tekanpur, Madhya Pradesh, to train \u201cdrone warriors\u201d and \u201cdrone commandos.\u201d The BSF leadership explicitly linked the program to lessons from Operation Sindoor, portraying drones as decisive in battles against Pakistan. Critics argue this is less about border defense and more about institutionalizing a long-prepared push for drone-centric warfare, backed by budgetary windfalls unlocked after Pahalgam.<\/p>\n<p>Independent experts stress that India\u2019s military chiefs deliberately hyped claims of technological superiority \u2014 citing Rafales, S-400s, and BrahMos strikes \u2014 to manufacture justification for accelerated procurements. Yet, Pakistani defenses, including the J-10C fleet and layered air systems, neutralized India\u2019s so-called superiority, exposing the \u201csuccess stories\u201d as scripted propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>The synchronized pace of imports \u2014 German torpedoes, French Rafales, Russian fighters, Israeli drones, and British propulsion systems \u2014 proves this is not improvisation but a long-term procurement roadmap. The Pahalgam incident acted as a catalyst, creating the urgency required to unlock budgets and win political approval.<\/p>\n<p>Observers warn that another staged provocation may follow, allowing India to showcase its new acquisitions, seek further funds, and perpetuate the illusion of military superiority over its neighbors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: The Pahalgam incident and subsequent Operation Sindoor are being increasingly exposed as part of India\u2019s pre-orchestrated strategy to fast-track multi-billion-dollar defense procurements under the guise of operational necessity, rather than genuine security requirements.
