The recent arrival of a Turkish C-130E military transport aircraft in Pakistan has sparked backlash on Indian social media, amid speculation that one of Islamabad’s closest allies may have made an urgent arms delivery. This comes as tensions escalate between India and Pakistan following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, fueling growing fears of conflict.

The reports were based on flight-tracking data published by open-source intelligence (OSINT) trackers, which showed the aircraft flying over the Arabian Sea on Monday.
Reacting to the incident, Sushant Sareen, a senior fellow at Observer Research Foundation (ORF), wrote on X,"India's friends and enemies are identifying themselves. China, Turkey, Azerbaijan are clearly on the Paki side."

What is being delivered? In my opinion we're not selling Pakistan anything that would be decisive in war with India.

Although I don't personally like it, J-10C has been the biggest upgrade to the Pakistani arsenal in recent years.

Of course it's also possible that Indian air defense fails and Turkish drones wreak havoc.

It is possible that the supplied armaments could be the Turkish version of Hellfire Missiles (Mizrak-U/Brimstone) to arm Bayraktar 2's, Akinci's as well as JF-17s. The last part I'm not sure of though.

I am a fan of these types of munitions used in precision (surgical) strikes. Which is what this conflict will amount to, nothing bigger in scope.

Indians really don't have anything to wield similar to these.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong...

in a short war, Turkish support could mean a lot but I'm still a firm believer in aerial supremacy and Kaan is still far from ready

Indian Su-30MKI vs Pakistani J-10 showdown will be the decisive factor in my estimation.
