Indian Air Force conducts "Exercise Aakraman" amid escalating Indo-Pak tensions post Pahalgam massacre



The Indian Air Force is out there, hammering away, training for some seriously gnarly ground attack missions across all kinds of terrain—plains, mountains, you name it. Meanwhile, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi’s boots hit the ground in Srinagar, sizing up the chaos in the region like a hawk.


After that gut-punch of a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 innocent souls were snuffed out, the IAF unleashed "Exercise Aakraman" (Attack). They tore up the central sector with their heavy-hitting fighter fleets, the Rafale jets leading the charge like lightning bolts. The IAF’s [not to be confused with Israel's IAF] got two Rafale squadrons, one roaring out of Ambala, the other from Hashimara in West Bengal, ready to bring the thunder.

This wasn’t just a flex— it was a full-on show of force. 

Fighter jets screamed through the skies, transport planes buzzed all night Thursday, hugging the border so close you could feel the heat. AWACS-equipped birds kept their eyes peeled, tracking every move the enemy made. Oh, and across the line? Pakistani Air Force jets were strutting their stuff too, like they’re itching for a fight.

All three arms of India’s military machine—Army, Navy, Air Force—are on red alert after Pahalgam. From Jammu and Kashmir to the Arabian Sea, it’s all systems go. Rafale jets are patrolling the skies along the Pakistani border, while ground forces are kicking down doors, torching terrorist hideouts, and locking down border villages.

General Dwivedi rolled into Srinagar on Friday, with tensions between India and Pakistan hotter than a furnace. Flanked by 15 Corps Commander Lt. Gen. Prashant Srivastava and the Victor Force Commander, he’s not there for tea and biscuits. He’s chairing a high-stakes security pow-wow, laser-focused on the Line of Control and beyond. Sources say top brass will lay out the full picture—troop deployments, intel, and the playbook to shut down any cross-border nonsense. After that, Dwivedi’s heading straight to Pahalgam, where those unarmed tourists were gunned down in cold blood.

Pahalgam Bloodbath:

The Pahalgam attack on April 22 was a slaughter—26 people, mostly tourists, killed, with over a dozen more wounded. It’s one of the deadliest strikes since Article 370 got the boot in 2019. The government’s still cagey about the official body count, but the damage is done. Security forces are hunting the scumcrumpets responsible, combing the area like bloodhounds. The streets of Pahalgam, usually packed with tourists, are now a ghost town, locked down tight.

It's looking grim and war may be on the horizon.
