Diplomatic Ripples: US Arms Supply to Pakistan Raises Concerns

The Congress criticized the Modi government as the US plans to supply Raytheon air-to-air missiles to Pakistan, highlighting potential diplomatic setbacks. A recent military contract listed Pakistan among nations receiving missiles, signaling a shift in diplomatic relations that could impact multiple countries.

The Congress has expressed concern over a recent development where the US is reportedly set to supply air-to-air missiles to Pakistan. This move, involving Raytheon's advanced medium-range missiles, has brought into question the diplomatic dynamics between the nations involved.

Congress's general secretary for communications, Jairam Ramesh, shed light on the situation, citing a US Department of War public notification. The document, initially listing other countries such as Canada and the UK, now includes Pakistan among its expected recipients, raising eyebrows and concerns within diplomatic circles.

The arms contract, reported by Pakistan's 'The Express Tribune', suggests a significant shift in military alliances and sales. The completion of this order by 2030 could mark a pivotal moment in international relations, affecting countries across several continents from Europe to Asia.
