After a terror attack in India’s Pahalgam on 22nd April, the conflict between India and Pakistan is heating up.

But this time, it’s not just about words — it’s about fighter jets, missiles, and nuclear weapons. At the heart of it all? Two fighter jets — India’s Rafale and Pakistan’s F-16 — showing how each country approaches defense.

A deadly terror attack in Pahalgam killed many people, and investigations found that the attack was linked to terror camps across the Line of Control, inside Pakistan. These camps have been known to train extremists for years.

In response, India took action, destroying these camps inside Pakistan to send a clear message: terrorism will not go unpunished. But instead of acknowledging the threat of terrorism and working together, Pakistan responded with threats of revenge.

Just days before, Pakistan’s Minister Attaullah Tarar said that Pakistan is the “frontline state for world peace.” But this statement now feels empty when the same government threatens to strike back against those who neutralized terrorists on its soil.

The Air Power Comparison: Rafale vs F-16

The military comparison isn’t just talk. It’s a real battle of fighter jets:

Feature India’s Rafale Pakistan’s F-16
Origin France USA
Radar AESA (RBE2) Mechanical (APG-68)
Missile Range Meteor: 150+ km AMRAAM: ~80 km
Role Multirole, Nuclear capable Multirole, Battle-tested
Stealth/ECM Advanced ECM, low RCS Moderate ECM
Speed Mach 1.8 Mach 2

The Rafale is better than the F-16 in many ways, especially in missile range, radar, and survivability. Pakistan’s F-16s are still useful but are getting outdated compared to India’s new fleet.

Nuclear Strength: Who Has the Edge?

Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons, but India has an advantage:

  • India can launch nuclear missiles from land, air, and submarines (like the INS Arihant).
  • Pakistan only has nuclear missiles that are launched from land or aircraft.
  • India’s second-strike capability gives it the upper hand, meaning if attacked, India can still retaliate.

Even though both countries have a similar number of nuclear warheads (~160 each), India has better systems to survive a nuclear strike and strike back.

Conventional Forces: Comparing the Numbers

Here’s a look at the military strength of both countries:

Metric India Pakistan
Active Soldiers ~1.4 million ~654,000
Defense Budget $75+ billion ~$10 billion
Fighter Aircraft 600+ 350
Tanks ~4,200 ~2,700
Nuclear Submarines Yes No

India has more resources, advanced technology, and stronger defense partnerships with countries like France, Israel, Russia, and the USA. India also has aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, which Pakistan lacks.

The Big Contradiction: Fighting Terror or Supporting It?

Here’s the big question: If Pakistan claims to be the “frontline state for peace,” why do terror camps still exist on its land? Why does Pakistan get angry when India targets terrorists that threaten its own citizens?

This isn’t new. In 2019, India launched an airstrike on terror camps in Pakistan after a deadly attack in Pulwama. Instead of addressing the problem, Pakistan responded with military threats — putting the world on edge.

It’s a pattern: Deny the problem, deflect responsibility, and then threaten revenge — even when the real target is terrorism.

Who Would Win in a War?

If there was a full war (not counting nuclear weapons):

  • India would likely win because of its superior air force, better naval power, and longer-range missiles.
  • Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, like the Nasr missile, could complicate things, but using them would lead to catastrophic retaliation from India.
  • The world would likely get involved if nuclear weapons were used, and no one wants that.

Peace Requires Action, Not Words

If Pakistan really wants to be seen as a peaceful country, it needs to eliminate the terrorist camps within its borders. India’s actions targeted terrorists, not innocent people. Pakistan should realize this and act accordingly.

Instead of promising revenge, Pakistan should ask itself: Why are terrorists able to operate so freely inside its borders?

Peace cannot come through empty words or empty promises; it requires hard action and real accountability. And until Pakistan takes responsibility for its role in fostering terrorism, there will be no peace.
