Tensions may be soaring between India and Pakistan, but Lt Gen KJS Dhillon (Retd) took the heat down a notch with some light-hearted humour.
On Sunday, Lt Gen KJS Dhillon (Retd) posted a cheeky comment on X (formerly Twitter), “Drone pakoras. A new snack in air defence regiments. Jai Hind,” accompanied by a photo of pakoras shaped like drones.
Pakistan has been using various types of drones, such as kamikaze and armed UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), to try and breach Indian airspace. However, Indian forces have managed to stop these attacks effectively.
Kamikaze drones, also known as suicide drones, either explode on impact or self-destruct after dropping bombs.
On the night of May 8–9, Pakistan launched drone attacks across the entire western border, targeting military areas. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said at a press briefing that drone activity was noticed at 36 locations, stretching from Leh to Sir Creek. Around 300 to 400 drones were involved.
Singh added that Indian forces used both physical and electronic methods to bring down many of these drones.
While drone-shaped snacks might tickle your funny bone (and your taste buds), the real drones crossing into Indian territory are serious business.
The Indian Army also issued a warning on Saturday, Pakistan’s drone games are not only a military threat but are also endangering civilians and religious sites. The Defence Ministry told PTI, “Our forces are watching. Don’t test our patience, or our radar systems.”
