Abstract
This study critically analyzes the India-Pakistan military escalation of May 2025, with a specific focus on its strategic, tactical, and diplomatic dimensions. Triggered by a disputed cross-border incident near the Line of Control (LoC), the conflict rapidly escalated into intense ground and aerial engagements. A high-profile dogfight between the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Indian Air Force (IAF) became a defining moment. Using a qualitative case study approach, this paper draws on open source defense reports, media briefings, and diplomatic communications to evaluate the conflict’s trajectory and implications. The battle caused substantial military and civilian losses, infrastructure damage, and disruption of diplomatic and trade relations. Pakistan’s air superiority, strategic restraint, and international messaging earned it measured global support, especially from China and Middle Eastern states. The article concludes with strategic policy suggestions to prevent future escalations and promote long-term stability in a nuclearized South Asia.
