News India Live, Digital Desk: It is said that when a person’s own condition is weak, he often takes the help of others and starts branding himself. Something similar is happening with our neighboring country Pakistan these days. The picture of economic distress is such that there are queues for food and the burden of debt is so much that the IMF has come to the point of rubbing its nose. But amid all this, Pakistan has now started a new controversy – ‘J-15’ fighter plane!
‘India’ brand ambassador of weapons?
The interesting thing is that Pakistan is trying to sell this fighter jet across the world by saying that it has the power to ‘counter India’. Meaning, Pakistan knows very well that without taking the name of ‘India’, their pulse will not melt. The ministers and military officers there claim that their weapons have proved themselves against a big power like India, hence the world should buy this fighter jet from them.
Will poverty be avoided by selling weapons?
In the recent news that came out, the confidence of the people associated with the Defense Ministry of Pakistan was seen to be sky high. He says that if they are able to export advanced fighter aircraft and defense systems like J-15 properly, then they will not even need the help of IMF in the next few months. It definitely sounds a bit strange to hear – a country whose foreign exchange reserves are about to be exhausted is dreaming of becoming a big arms player overnight!
The real story behind the scenes
The reality is that most of the technology and equipment installed in these fighter jets is from China. Through Pakistan, China wants to enter those markets where it is not able to go directly. Now Pakistan is teaching this lesson to Qatar, Azerbaijan and many African countries that “Look what we used in the war and tension with India.” He is calling this his ‘proven’ record.
Indian Navy’s dominance and Pakistan’s hesitation
The speed with which India is expanding its maritime boundaries and its footprints in the Indian Ocean is giving Pakistan sleepless nights. The Indian Navy now has two aircraft carriers each. In response to this, Pakistan is now talking about fighter planes like J-15 and J-35 so that it can also show its status. But the big question is this – the discussion of no food in the stomach and a ship worth billions of dollars in hand?
