Pakistan’s position
Following India’s devastating attacks in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan is trying to increase its air defense capabilities and repair the air base damaged by missiles. Despite this, Pakistan is going through an economic crisis.
It has increased its defense budget by 18%, while the domestic development projects of 1,000 billion Pakistani rupees have been canceled. Last month, Pakistan has taken loans of $ 1.8 billion from IMF and ADB to face fiscal challenges.
