UPDATE: Multiple sources based near LoC tell me that Indian and Pakistani troops are currently exchanging fire at as many as 8 different locations along LoC.
>Kashmir is strategically important to India and Pakistan. Kashmir provides Pakistan with much needed waters to irrigate the fertile plains of Punjab. The Indus and its tributaries flowing in from Kashmir comprise the primary source of fresh water in Pakistan. As a result, control of the flow of water in these rivers through dams and canals has been a very important issue for decades.
>Furthermore, the Silk Route, the primary land link between Pakistan and China passes through Kashmir. This is very significant because China has border disputes with India and is also a major diplomatic and military ally for Pakistan. The Silk route allows China to maintain an aggressive posture towards India, its biggest regional rival. An instance displaying the strategic importance of the Silk Route was when Pakistan reopened the road in 1965. Pakistan handed over complete control of Gilgit, a modern air force base on this route, to China. This is very important as today Gilgit is the point from which China can penetrate deepest into Indian territory. This significantly neutralizes the natural security created by the Himalayan range over north India. Interestingly, this move was made only when border tensions erupted between India and China in the 1960’s. The Silk Route also strengthens Pakistan’s relationship and trade with China.
>There are many other areas in Kashmir that have major geo-political significance. One such area is the Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram Pass. It is the only barrier preventing Pakistani and Chinese forces from linking up in Kashmir4. If Pakistan and China were allowed to link up their militaries at Siachen, India’s national security over the entire northern frontier would be greatly undermined. Such a link up would create a very powerful military force, consisting of India’s two biggest rivals. This force would be capable of joint and potentially decisive military action against India.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but the handoff is taking suspiciously long. A medical checkup preformed by a team of international professions for a single adult man shouldn't take two hours.
Hopefully they kill him and out an end to this drama

Pretty sure they don't trust Modi to sit quite after handing over the pilot. And hopefully they are right about this. Their twitter general looks frantic
Ian Nelson

Should I travel to sub continent before it becomes a nuclear wasteland? I really want to see the Taj Mahal etc.
firing across eight points along the line - IAF officials in Pak to retrieve officer from counter parts

>UPDATE: Multiple sources based near LoC tell me that Indian and Pakistani troops are currently exchanging fire at as many as 8 different locations along LoC. Shelling happens on LoC every single day. It's nothing new. My Uncle is in military and stationed in kashmir, he used to tell me that he would often lose 1-2 personnels every 2 weeks
Same thing on the other side. However, since Modi has been elected, ceasefire violations have increased
If pilot reaches india then no happening, but if he doesn't then shit will hit the fan (no pun intended)
Tyler Wright
They are drawing up the paper work he will be required to sign as a promise to never ever ever bomb terrorists in Pakistan again.
Ian Cook
No, my wife hates India so I'll be traveling by myself. I was hoping to get some nice and clean girls there though. I don't mind a bit of darkies
Isaiah Cook
Making south india postponed for infinitely
Gabriel Allen
Details are sketchy as of now but it is being said that terrorists apparently played dead (after being shot), jumped out of the rubble and opened bursts at the security personnel while they were sanitising the site of encounter. #kupwara #HandwaraEncounter
yeah but it's also an indication that things are just normal as always
Don't trust him, he's gonna sell your kidneys kek

Don't leave her alone user, she'll be railing some immigrants
Nathan Ortiz
To that retard. Kashmir is hindu clay so is everyone piece of land Indus flows through. Are you denying the existence of Kashmiri terrorists, you fucktard? We won't let Kashmir secede just because Muslims colonists want to.
Good evening Pakibro. Hope the weather is good. I hope I'll be able to visit friends in Lahore this summer.
James Morris
Unsure when this was taken, but its interesting to note- assuming this is just after takeoff- that they do not immediately climb to altitude for an intercept or air patrol. They may be attempting to hide which aircraft are active from which airfield- and climb further down range
The only thing modi can do now is, say during check up that pakistan broke Geneva convention, and go all out
Isaiah Nguyen
Guys imagine if Mossad fucks up the pilot return and this one incident results in WW3 and the whole world getting nuked
Eli Jackson
Our kids would kill her if she cheated on me.

What do you fag think, is he going to come?
Gavin Hernandez
That's a new stipulation, on my feeds they keep saying "shortly" but they've been doing that for seven hours now. Why would they insist on no pictures?
Based little anons which type of camera gear is it?

Afghan journalist confirms what I had heard earlier today: Taliban attackers were wearing military uniforms identical to those used by U.S. Army. #Helmand #Afghanistan
>countries hate each other >start shooting each other >one country bombs another >the other country shoots down 2 planes and takes 1 pilot hostage >end of happening
I'd think you'll be okay, the less people around you the better also make sure you have a guilly suit to blend in from the shelling and a lense cover to keep the light from shining from your lenses. Good luck battle journalist.

You know it’s bad when a Brazilian is disgusted.

A few Leicas. Won't bring my Hasselblads because they're too unwieldy outside of the studio.
