Misri also clarified that the military conflict between India and Pakistan stayed within the definitions of conventional warfare and there was never any nuclear signalling or posturing from Pakistan.
Upon the question of Pakistan using Chinese-origin military hardware, Misri stated, “It does not matter what they used. it matters that we hit their airbases hard.”
Vikram Misri also declined to comment on the Pakistani claim that India lost aircraft, citing national security concerns.
